RHOP ratings take another dip.
“Real Housewives of Potomac” is back for Season 9. Many fans wondered how the season would play out since OG Robyn Dixon and veteran Candiace Dillard-Bassett made their exits. Candiace left by choice to focus on her pregnancy while Robyn confirmed she wasn’t asked to return. Their departures came as fans and Andy Cohen pointed out that the cast was too divided. Thus this made enjoying the show very difficult. Other issues from the season included Wendy Osefo and Nneka Ihim‘s controversial and cultural feud. An Essence Magazine writer called this out in a viral article and said it was highly offensive for Nigerians to watch the whole ordeal play out on the show. And the way the matter was handled and initiated by Ashley Darby‘s actions was culturally insensitive.
The most discussed part of the article was what the Essence writer said about colorism. The author and some RHOP fans believe there was a colorism issue at play. Of course, tension between cast members is a norm. However, they felt like Candiace and Wendy were treated differently than their lighter costars. This came up at the reunion. However, Gizelle and Robyn’s responses to the colorism discussion didn’t sit well with them. In response to these feelings, some viewers said they were done watching the show.
Well, the numbers are in for the Season 9 premiere of “Real Housewives of Potomac.” 520,000 viewers tuned in. Season 8 premiered with 787,000 viewers.
