'RHOP': Gizelle Bryant labeled 'trash' for shaming Robyn Dixon for being depressed

'I don’t like Robyn but Gizelle coming for her at that table when she is clearly describing depression is trash #RHOP,' commented a fan

'Real Housewives of Potomac' star Gizelle Bryant truly thrives in chaos. The 'messy queen' of Potomac is no stranger to stirring the pot and causing fights among the housewives, alongside her trusty sidekick Robyn Dixon. The duo has playfully been nicknamed the 'green-eyed bandits' for all the drama they drum up on the show with their shenanigans.

In an earlier episode, Robyn Dixon expressed that she was feeling very unmotivated and lethargic all the time. The housewife even admitted to regularly experiencing seasonal depression and revealed that it was affecting her relationship with her firmer husband and current fiance Juan Dixon. When the other ladies heard about Robyn's depression they were immediately concerned for her and began advising her to go see a shrink or seek help to navigate her depression, while Gizelle hit a new low by shaming her friend with 'tough love'.

Gizelle expressed how she felt that Robyn wasn't living her life to the fullest or meeting her real potential. The housewife called out her friend for feeling unmotivated. Gizelle resorted to shaming her friend by saying that Robyn's bank balance should be a motivator enough for her to jump out of bed and work on building her brand. Gizelle also cited the example of Juan finding Robyn's behavior unattractive as a motivator for her to work on herself. Gizelle then advised Robyn to work on her brand in order to get out of the funk. She also felt that Robyn should put in more effort into her business and relationships.

In her green room interview, Gizelle justified her behavior by saying that she would be a bad friend if she didn't give Robyn tough love. Fans however felt that Gizelle overstepped her line by trying to shame her best friend and completely ignoring her mental health. A fan tweeted, "I don’t like Robyn but Gizelle coming for her at that table when she is clearly describing depression is trash #RHOP." "Gizelle doesn’t get depression at all, at least when it comes to Robyn’s struggles. “tough love” & reminding her of what she has is just gonna make her feel worse and ashamed #RHOP," wrote a fan. Another fan added, "Robyn is in a deep depression and Gizelle is telling her to snap out of it so her husband can get a hard on again… #RHOP."

Another fan shared, "No way Gizelle blaming Robyn for her depression and not waking up wtf kind of friend is this?? Girl is depressed #RHOP." "I think Gizelle’s talk w Robyn was ill-timed. It’s also cringey to listen to this “tough love” cuz people really don’t understand how depression really works. #RHOP," pointed out a fan. Another fan echoed similar thoughts with, "Gizelle is being so insensitive to robyn’s mental health. #RHOP."
