'RHOP' star Candiace Dillard Bassett clashes with Deborah Williams at GnA launch party

The details of the intense confrontation between Candiace Dillard Bassett and Deborah Williams, which unfolded following Ashley Darby and Gizelle Bryant’s fashion show, through fuzzy camera footage shared on social media.

Despite the video's quality, it was evident that the confrontation started with a conversation between Candiace and Deborah, who is not a cast member but a friend of Ashley's known for stirring drama during her appearances on the show.

Deborah's previous attempt to instigate trouble revolved around spreading false claims about Candiace's husband, Chris Bassett. This incident reignited tensions between Candiace and Ashley. However, these claims were promptly debunked by footage revealing Chris completely ignoring Deborah, exposing her as a liar.

This situation led Candiace to dub Deborah as "Sesame Street," referencing a puppet character from the children's show, which escalated tensions and eventually led to the 'bloody fight" viewers had been anticipating all season.

'RHOP's Keiana Stewart gets trapped in 'bloody fight' between Candiace Dillard Bassett and Deborah Williams

The altercation between Deborah Williams and Keiana Stewart wasn't captured on camera, but the incident was recorded via audio as the women were still wearing microphones. The audio reveals that Deborah initiated the confrontation by confronting Candiace at the party, referencing a derogatory nickname Candiace had used.

Candiace responded defensively, leading to a heated exchange. Keiana Stewart, a newcomer to the series, intervened to try to de-escalate the situation, stating that the party was not the appropriate place for conflict.

Based on what's heard and seen in the video, it appears that Deborah initiates physical aggression towards Candiace by throwing a drink at her. In response, Candiace reaches for a champagne bottle, later explaining that it was a measure taken in self-defense.

As Candiace moves to retrieve the bottle, Keiana intervenes by trying to restrain Deborah, resulting in a struggle between them. The ensuing fight is described as "chaotic" and "bloody", surpassing any previous physical altercations in RHOP's history.
