The gist
RHOP star Gizelle Bryant apologized to Wendy Osefo for calling her a scammer on Watch What Happens Live.
Her remarks on Karen Huger's marriage keep her central to season 11.
Background
Gizelle Bryant, 56, is a star of The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP), the Bravo reality series now in its 11th season, and was formerly a pastor's wife. She is promoting that season while also appearing in the new BET megachurch drama 'Church Wives'. Her comments are drawing notice because season 11, which began earlier in October 2026, has already put her at odds with castmates — a September trailer showed her in a screaming match with Karen Huger.
