Wow, for a picture-perfect QVC star, “The Real Housewives of Potomac” cast member Stacey Rusch, is certainly bringing the drama! And it’s gotten to the point where Tamra Judge, the queen of controversy herself, is calling her out.
Stacey’s had a rocky experience since her arrival on “RHOP” last season, stemming from her are-they-aren’t-they relationship with TJ Jones to her current reconciliation with her ex-husband Thiemo Rusch. And more loaded questions now swirl around whether or not Stacey had a dalliance with Chris Samuels, who is the ex-husband of previous cast member, Monique Samuels. Oh, and there’s also her new cannabis line with the Nigerian name SHAYO, which understandably ruffles the feathers of co-star Wendy Osefo, who’s proudly Nigerian and boats a cannabis line with her husband called Happy Eddie.
So, What’s the Latest?
GettyAll of that aside, the latest drama comes from Tamra clocking these various questions and inconsistencies on her podcast, “Two T’s in a Pod” with Dolores Catania. On the episode, Tamra confessed that while she had initially felt that Stacey was unfairly targeted by the other women in her cast, her opinion has drastically changed. Specifically, Tamra said Stacey’s story changes all of the time and she never answers a question with an actual answer. “It’s like politician training 101,” she commented. “Is this QVC training?”
Dolores followed Tamra’s question with the sage advice of her own, “Stacey, there’s a much easier way of life. Just be upfront.” TBD if Stacey will take these shady words to heart…
Stacey in the Thick of It
BravoOn the latest episode of “RHOP,” the women gathered for a celebration of Gizelle Bryant’s podcast, “Reasonably Shady,” which achieved a staggering 10 million downloads. But the focus quickly shifted from Gizelle’s digital benchmark to the many beefs the women had with Stacey. Keiarna Stewart led the charge, accusing Stacey of gossiping with Chris Samuels about what Monique said about him in the group. Charisse Jackson-Jordan then called Chris to confirm or deny what was said.
While Chris pretty much refuted that Stacey repeated anything about his previous marriage, it’s clear the issue here is really about how the ladies feel towards Stacey, which Tamra accurately voiced on her podcast. Looks like only time will tell if Stacey can turn her perception around and rehab her standing in the group.




I really don’t like the way they all are treating Stacey. Especially Giselle, who is such a bully. That’s WHO GISELLE IS, a BULLY.
What has she done and how is it affecting their lives?
Tamara is another BULLY. I can’t stand her.
It would be a perfect Christmas gift if Tamra Judge would be cut from the cast of RHOC. She is such a liar and shit starter. She can’t leave enough alone, and always has to stir the pot. She cant ever account for herself when she lies about everything even though the proof is everywhere. Please Santa, make her go bye bye.
