It looks like things between 'Real Housewives of Potomac' stars Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard Bassett might not settle down anytime soon. Following the explosive fight that took place between the housewives while vacationing at Monique's lakehouse, things haven't been the same between the ladies. Monique was so furious with Candiace that she pulled the former Miss USA by her weave and dragged her across the room while beating her up. The other housewives who were present at the scene watched Monique's aggressive behavior in horror while trying to persuade her to leave Candiace. Finally, the producers had to step in and drag Monique away from Candiace.

But Monique wasn't done with Candiace just yet. She was seen telling the producer that Candiace was "asking for it" and also declared that she had no remorse over her actions, and turned things around by saying that she was just defending herself after Candiace threw a glass of wine at her. While a visibly shaken Candiace began cussing Monique and expressing that her fellow housewife belonged on the streets. 

The fight clearly took a toll on Candiace, for she had to see her therapist. and seek help to process the incident with Monique. When she later heard that Monique had no remorse and was instead accusing her of instigating the fight, Candiace decided to ensure that Monique pays the price for her actions. So she files a lawsuit against the housewife on charges of second-degree assault. Monique was shocked on seeing the drastic step that Candiace had taken.



 

In the preview clip for the upcoming episode, we see Monique revealing in her green room interview that if the judge decides not to hear her side of the story, then she could be arrested in front of her children. She then declares war against her fellow housewife by saying Candiace has left her with no choice but to go after her. So Monique countercharges Candiace.

When Candiace learns the news of Monique countercharging her, she was livid. Candiace can be seen pacing in her room cussing Monique for not having any scruples, and just listening to her lawyers and "hood-rat friends". Candiace's husband, Chris Bassett, tries to calm her down, but the housewife appears to be in no mood to forgive Monique. Later in her green-room interview, Candiace declares that she has never seen anyone as "arrogant, evil and sociptahic" as Monique in her entire life. We can't wait to see how the other housewives react to Monique countercharging Candiace.

'Real Housewives of Potomac' Season 5 airs every Sunday at 9/8c on Bravo.
