'RHOP': Karen Huger calls new housewife Wendy Osefo 'ignorant', fans say she is going 'cry herself to sleep'

'Wendy wanted to cry so bad after Karen rightfully called her ignorant. Looked like that killed her whole identity #RHOP,' wrote a fan

Dr Wendy Osefo, the newest cast member of 'Real Housewives of Potomac', was in for a rude shock when she was called "ignorant" by her fellow housewife, Karen Huger. Wendy, who has four degrees, and is a professor at a renowned university, never expected herself to be called "ignorant." It all went down at an event hosted by Wendy for Black women to encourage them to vote and actively take part in the governance of their city.

All the housewives from Potomac attended the event to show their support for Wendy's wonderful initiative. At the end of the event, the housewives split into smaller groups to socialize amongst themselves. Candiace Dillard Bassett and Karen Huger sat down together to have a chat. Karen checked in on Candiace by inquiring about her health. Candiace then revealed that she has begun attending therapy following the assault by Monique Samuels. Karen was pleased on hearing it and encouraged Candiace to continue caring for herself. 

In response to Karen's encouragement, Candiace expressed her disappointment with the grand dame for siding with Monique and not acknowledging that what she did was unacceptable. Karen patiently heard out Candiace's woes, and then pointed out how she had her back the entire last season, even though she didn't necessarily agree with everything Candiace said or did. So, this time around, she explained that she was doing the same to Monique, and wouldn't abandon her by siding with Candiace. Karen also added that she did tell Monique that her behavior wasn't acceptable. 

Just at that time, Wendy walked into their conversation and overheard Karen talking about Monique. Without knowing the whole context of Candiace and Karen's conversation, Wendy began saying that Karen should take accountability and hold Monique accountable for her actions. By this time, the grand dame lost her patience and hit back at Wendy by saying that although she is very well educated she's still ignorant. Wendy was so taken aback by Karen's words that she was left speechless and shocked for the rest of the time. Although Karen later apologized for her rude remarks, fans wholly agreed with her that Wendy was ignorant.

A fan tweeted, "I know Wendy is going to cry herself to sleep after what Karen told her. Mrs 4 degrees #RHOP." Another fan wrote, "Wendy wanted to cry so bad after Karen rightfully called her ignorant. Looked like that killed her whole identity #RHOP." "Glad Karen called Wendy ignorant because that Wendy is and that she displays in all episodes since she started! #RHOP," commented a fan.

Another fan wondered, "Nope! RT @nicole_perez1: 'Wendy as educated as you are, you sound very ignorant.' Did Karen lie tho?? #RHOP." "LET WENDY TF KNOW KAREN!!!!!! 'As educated as you are, you sound very ignorant.' It damn sure isn’t the first time! I’m glad someone said it. #RHOP." declared a fan. "Wendy got hot when Karen called her 'ignorant'. I’ve heard her say a myriad of ignorant things and portray ignorant ideas. Degrees don’t cure that #RHOP," pointed a fan.
