POTOMAC, MARYLAND: After watching the recently aired episode of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Potomac', fans couldn't help but point out the blatant colorism in the cast members' behavior when Mia Thornton, Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, and Robyn Dixon, schemed and plot to put Wendy Osefo and Candiace Bassett in a tiny room with one need during their vacation.

Mia whisked away the ladies to a "5-star vacation" in Miami. The housewife lured the ladies claiming she rented out a luxurious house for them all. But once the ladies arrived at the venue, they were shocked to learn that the house had only six bedrooms and they would have to share rooms. After picking out their respective rooms, Wendy began questioning Mia and the other ladies about where Candiace would be put up. Since Candiace had some work to finish, the housewife decided to join the ladies a little later on the trip. Mia nonchalantly declared she didn't care about Candiace and continued to enjoy her getaway. While Wendy continued to be concerned about Candiace's accommodation during their vacation, Ashley, Robyn, and Gizelle decided to take advantage of the situation and switched out the room cards so that Wendy would have to share her small room with Candiace. As Ashley, Robyn, and Gizelle, giggled over their sneaky prank, 'RHOP' fans were however not amused.

Many fans felt that the ladies were being bullies and colorists towards Wendy and Candiace. A fan tweeted, "Ashely and Robyn are mean-spirited and evil. The colorism is real. Putting Wendy and Candiace to share a bed is digusting. #RHOP." "Idk but having the two darkest women on the show, (Candiace and Wendy) sharing a room/bed while the lighter-skinned women have their own rooms looks a bit funny. Hmm #RHOP," wrote a fan. "They put Wendy and Candiace in the same room with 1 bed…and ya’ll don’t think there’s colori…oh nevermind #RHOP," commented a fan. "Just a group of mean girls I swear smh did they really just switch Wendy’s room out and gave her the room with the one bed for her and Candiace to share…wow #RHOP," added a fan.

A fan shared, "The way the group creates Wendy and Candiace I don’t like it . It’s starting to give bullies & I don’t watch to a bunch of mean girls. #rhop." "Candiace idk if you’ll ever see this but I say this w/love- this “friend” group is nothing but toxic & I’d understand you leaving Potomac to be away from this. Every season they always make her and Wendy the center of their malicious intents. Candiace deserves better! #rhop," expressed a fan. "Wendy & Candiace are being tried. When they get aggressive it’s well deserved #RHOP," pointed out a fan. "I'm over the Mean Girls gang ganging on Candiace and Wendy #RHOP," declared a fan. "The optics of GizHell, ROBin & AshLIE lying and disrespecting Wendy and Candiace are not overlooked over here. The micro-aggression of it all #RHOP," observed a fan.
