NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: It's time to wrap up another season of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' as the third part of the reunion has finally aired!

Socila media is abuzz and people are furious at the cast members for being "disgusting" and have pointed out that the reunion is "unwatchable."

A user on Reddit wrote,"I still haven’t finished the season. I keep hovering over the thumbnail and picking something less draining" while another chimed in saying,"They don’t understand balance…they believe drama is everything and then their mask slips and they are actually big mad and insulted instead of just acting. The women are forgetting we love the camaraderie and laughing and teasing not just reading & eating & never smiling.Balance. That would bring us all back."

A third user commented,"I am all about people not watching a show they don’t like rather than hate watching, making endless posts about firing ppl or attacking HW online. That being said I think less ppl are watching because it’s boring rather than any toxicity going on" while another agreed replying,"I think it’s boring BECAUSE of the toxicity."

A user even wrote,"Honestly I’m done watching after this season. Candiace leaving is a HUGE loss IMO. She really brought it every season & she was my fave" while another commented that Gizelle Bryant needs to be gone, writing,"Giselle needs to be fired! She is seriously blaming Candiace, Wendy, sesame street and Kierana for the fight that happened at GNA even tho Candace was the one being assaulted and Wendy had nothing to do with it!!!!"

Gizelle Bryant places blame on Candiace Bassett for the brawl at her clothing line launch, describing it as "disturbing."

During the reunion, Andy Cohen inquires about who Gizelle holds responsible for the physical altercation initiated by Ashley Darby's friend, Deborah Williams, at the event. Gizelle points fingers at Candiace, fellow Housewife Dr. Wendy Osefo, Deborah, and Keiana Stewart, a friend of Wendy.

However, Candiace expresses disbelief at the expectation for her to reconcile with those involved.

Andy Cohen questions Candiace Bassett if she would have 'really swung the champagne bottle' at Deborah Williams during the 'RHOP' fight

During the 'RHOP' reunion, Andy Cohen questions Candiace Dillard Bassett about whether she would have actually used the champagne bottle as a weapon against Deborah Williams during the altercation at Gizelle's clothing line launch.

Candiace responds by admitting uncertainty, stating that she doesn't know what her reaction would have been in the heat of the moment. She emphasizes that she felt she was left to fend for herself when Deborah lunged at her, emphasizing that she wasn't expecting anyone else to intervene on her behalf.

Later, when questioned by her co-star Karen Huger about why she referred to Deborah as a "varmint," Candiace explains that she used the term after Deborah confronted her directly by getting in her face and asking if she had something to say.
