Candiace Dillard discusses colorism in reality TV and previews upcoming drama on
Candiace Dillard-Bassett is giving fans a preview of what's to come in the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Potomac! With her music career taking off, Candiace is busy touring while also filming for the show.

The stress from her hectic schedule in addition to a recent health discovery is taking a toll on her marriage with Chris. She and Wendy Osefo are still a double team as Candiace returns to her battles with Ashley Darby, while Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon face rocky relationships.

"It was the Twilight Zone in a lot of ways," Candiace told BLACK ENTERPRISE. "I left this season more grateful for real friendships and more sure that friendships that don't matter just don't matter."

In addition to RHOP, Candiace is also a star on the All Blk series Hush. She recently addressed her former co-star Erica Mena's controversial colorist remarks that got her ousted from Love & Hip Hop ATL. "When I saw the clip, I was very hurt," Candiace said. "I do wish that Erica were able to see things differently."

Candiace hopes to see the conversation of colorism never fall to the waste side in reality television and has made it a point to bring it to the table in RHOP. She believes that only some of her co-stars have embraced the criticism and understanding of the issue.

The massive brawl that broke out during the RHOP filming has also been a topic of discussion, with fans criticizing Candiace for grabbing objects during heated exchanges. "Walk in my shoes for a day, and then let's discuss," she said.

The Real Housewives of Potomac premieres on Bravo on Sunday, November 5 at 8 pm. Tune in to get the full scoop on all the drama!
