'RHOP': Robyn and Juan look to buy $1.6M home, fans ask how couple has money for house and ring amid tax issues

Many fans also pointed out that Robyn and Juan should focus on repaying the taxes rather than shopping for new homes

After it was revealed that 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star Robyn Dixon owed the IRS $90,000 in back taxes, everybody was under the impression that the Dixons were in a bit of a financial crunch. Robyn and her husband, Juan Dixon were even shown worrying about the taxes and the huge sum they owed to the IRS in an earlier episode. But it looks like their worries are just words, for their actions seem to reflect otherwise.

Juan was shown shopping for an engagement ring for Robyn, in an earlier episode. With Gizelle Bryant's help, he picked out a beautiful yellow diamond ring for his housewife. The ring must have cost him a pretty penny. But the Dixons didn't stop at that. Before the whole issue of taxes blew up, Robyn and Juan were planning to buy a house. The couple is so determined to get a new house that despite owing the IRS money, they began continuing their quest for a new home, instead of putting that on hold.

On the latest episode of 'RHOP', Robyn and Juan were shown looking for houses. They were seen checking out a 5,600 sqft house that cost $1.6 million. Robyn shared in her confessional that Juan and she decided to go ahead with their house purchase plan, as they managed to come up with a payment plan with IRS to pay back the tax money they owed. 

When fans heard Robyn's explanation and the couple's plans, they began wondering where the couple was getting money from. A fan tweeted, "Where Robyn & Juan getting all this money for that house & ring?! #RHOP." Another fan wrote, "1.6 mill home?! So Robyn and Juan BOTH like shopping for things outside their budget. #rhop." "Not Robyn and Juan pretending to look at home when we all know they don’t have two pennies to rub together #rhop," commented a fan.

Many fans also pointed out that Robyn and Juan should focus on repaying the taxes rather than shopping for new homes. A fan shared, "Robyn, if you’re on a payment plan with your back taxes, how are you looking at 1.6 million dollar homes when that money can just go towards the taxes??? #RHOP." "#RHOP who is Robyn kidding?! You’re on a payment plan for a 90k tax bill, but looking at a $1.6 million dollar home?! Robyn & Juan better take their butts over to Upper Marlboro with Candiace and stop playing.," advised another fan. "Also want to know why Robyn & Juan are looking at 5,600 sq ft homes when they have all these money issues. Like they could fit two of their current homes in that house and still would have extra space #RHOP," expressed a fan.
