When the husbands are brought out on any of the 'Real Housewives' franchise, things get messy real soon. For the third and final part of Season 5 reunion of 'Real Housewives of Potomac', the husbands are invited, and no prizes for guessing that things escalate very fast. After watching his wife being isolated and dragged through the mud for the whole season, Chris Samuels is ready to speak up and defend his wife Monique Samuels.

At the beginning of the season, there were rumors of Monique having an affair with her personal trainer and Chris catching them both together. Although Gizelle Bryant revealed it in her green room interview, it was actually former housewife Charrisse Jackson Jordan who was reportedly behind the rumors spreading like wildfire. These rumors reportedly tore the Samuels family apart and Monique wasn't happy about them. So when Monique heard that her friend Candiace Dillard was being all friendly and close to Charrisse despite knowing what the former housewife did to her family, Monique was seething with rage.

Before we knew it, both the housewives got into a huge ugly fight which played out for the most part of Season 5's storyline. Following the fight, all the housewives took Candiace's side and began excluding Monique from their events and vacations. Although Karen Huger and Ashley Darby eventually sided with Monique, the housewife was absent from several major episodes of the series. Even during the reunion, aside from Karen, all the housewives, especially Gizelle and Candiace, seemed to go out of their way to attack Monique.



 

So, in the preview clip for the final part, we see Chris stepping in and declaring that he has seen enough of his wife being put through the worst and is ready to defend her and their family's image. He then declares that if people don't own up to their actions then he is going to reveal some mess about the other cast members. Although Chris doesn't take any names, it might be safe to assume that his comment is directed at Candiace, asking her to take accountability for her actions. Gizelle gets all riled up on hearing Chris's words and asks him to "get the f*** outta here". Monique gets annoyed and asks her fellow housewife to refrain from talking to her husband that way. Candiace slams Monique for threatening Gizelle.

It looks like the final part of the reunion will be filled with a lot of messy drama, for Chris looks ready to spill some tea about the ladies. We will have to watch the upcoming episode to see how things pan out with the husbands in the picture, and we are also curious to see what Candiace's husband Chris Bassett has to say to Monique and her husband. 

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