‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Stars Charisse Jackson-Jordan and Nneka Ihim Address Candiace Dillard Relationship Rumors

The stars address Dillard’s husband's alleged affair.

Charisse Jackson-Jordan and Nneka Ihim are standing in solidarity with their castmate Candiace Dillard, whose husband, Chris Bassett is being accused of an alleged affair.

Over the weekend during BravoCon in Las Vegas, Jordan and Ihim gave their two cents on the messy matter, as reported by Us Weekly.

“I love Candiace, but that girl better watch it,” Jordan said while referring to the woman who recently dropped the bombshell alleging that she is Bassett's mistress. “Whoever she is, that little liar better watch it.”

Ihim chimed in but noted she is doubtful about the claims.

"Oh, my goodness. I don’t know what to think, but I don’t believe that to be true,” she explained. “I think Candiace is going to handle it in a respectful way for her and her husband.”

At the same time, Ihim is choosing to mind her business, while adding, until Dillard is “ready to talk,” she is “steering clear."

“We are here to support her. And that’s really my thoughts on it."

In October, amid an ongoing rival with Dillard, Gizelle Bryant told the outlet she believes there is truth to these allegations.

“I feel like it’s unfortunate, but I tried to tell Candiace about her husband last season. And she didn’t want to listen, so maybe she should have listened.”

On Friday (Nov. 4), Dillard clapped back at Bryant while speaking at the convention. "No matter how hard a miserable, sad troll with a long neck may try to infiltrate a happy marriage, she just won’t succeed. And that’s all she wrote.”

Dillard and Bassett have been married since 2018. They have not publicly responded to the alleged mistress, per the outlet.
