Candiace Dillard Tells Porsha Williams That “She Should Be Careful About The Lies That She Tells” For Defending Monique Samuels; Says “It’s A Very Dangerous Move”

Candiace Dillard Bassett is clarifying the comments she made about Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams during her recent appearance on Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast, where she referred to Williams as “the sidekick of all” for defending her Real Housewives of Potomac co-star Monique Samuels.

“I don’t know Porsha, I’ve never met her, I know her through the television like everyone else,” Dillard told Page Six, “and I never had an issue prior to being sent a clip of her on ‘Chat Room’ with my castmate Gizelle, lying and spreading false information — damning, defaming information — about me and alleging I was trying to sue Monique to secure a down payment on my home.”

“Yes, I responded in an interview because it’s one thing for you to defend your friend, it’s one thing to talk general smack about me in defense of your friend, but when you flat-out lie, yes, I’m going to address it.”

“She should be careful about the lies that she tells. It’s a very dangerous move,” Dillard added.

Williams has repeatedly defended Samuels on several episodes of Bravo’s “Chat Room.” On the Dec. 6 episode, Williams told co-hosts Gizelle Bryant, Hannah Berner and Kate Chastain that Monique told her she believed Dillard sued her after the fight for a financial come-up.

“She [Monique] felt like, the whole reason Candiace was suing her was to pay for her mom’s house,” Williams said. “She was suing because it was a money grab.”

However, Bryant immediately dismissed the theory, saying Monique never said that on the show or during the reunion, to which Williams responded, “This was said to me personally out of Monique’s mouth.”
