Taping for The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s 11th season has been underway for over a month now.
A recent rumor began circulating on the internet that Wendy Osefo had stopped filming after Gizelle Bryant caught her in a lie.
Specifically, @Marcy_CobsyFan on X, who has broken a number of ‘Real Housewives’ news stories, shared the alleged tea and noted the scoop was “alleged” and should be taken “with a grain of salt.”
“Allegedly, Wendy Osefo has taken a break from filming after Gizelle caught her in a lie about her case,” they noted. “Sources tell me that Wendy will be back to filming… #RHOP.”
@Mrhousewives on Instagram also shared the post, noting he felt it was “stupid for Wendy to even film.”
“This could hurt her case,” he added.
An insider exclusively spilled to Reality Blurb that the rumor is completely false.
It’s “not true,” they explicitly stated. “Wendy is still filming. None of that is true.”
Another source doubled down, insisting the cameras are definitely rolling and Wendy is a part of the action.
What’s more, they confirmed Monique Samuels, who was not expected to return, has also come back and is filming again.
Reality Blurb previously confirmed who was set to star in the upcoming season of RHOP.
According to a source at the time, the following women who were a part of last season are set to come back for RHOP‘s 11th season: Gizelle, Wendy, Tia Glover, Ashley Darby, and Karen Huger.
While their returns were confirmed, the insider clarified their statuses as full-time Housewives remain up in the air, as they are “all auditioning to hold a champagne flute.”
Stacey Rusch was also said to be returning, and she was branded “the most secure” in regard to who would be full-time.
“Robyn Dixon has also made the cut,” they elaborated. “There is also a new girl in the mix.”
The insider also shared Keiarna Stewart and Angel Massie would not be a part of the next season of RHOP, insisting that’s “the word on the street.”
After Reality Blurb’s report, Bravo ended up confirming the cast.
As for why Robyn came back, a source previously dished she changed her tune after refusing to film last year. If you recall, Robyn did not show up to an event Gizelle hosted for their Reasonably Shady podcast.
She “needed the money” and thus ultimately “swallowed her pride” and “took the Bravo bait,” the insider noted.
“Robyn is real and always has been,” they continued. “But a friend of role makes more sense for her at this point in time. It was clear in the past she didn’t like a microscope being put on her relationship with her husband, Juan Dixon, and if she’s in a ‘friend of’ role, this is not something that will be focused on.”
“Juan also didn’t like being dissected on TV and being involved in the show, and by Robyn being a friend, he won’t have to play a part in it.”
“Robyn will definitely get extensive camera time if she has something that production decides they want to focus on,” the source also shared. “However, as things stand now, she will be back in a ‘friend of’ role. She still has many fans and supporters, as well as authentic relationships with some of the cast members, so she will be a seamless fit to return.”
