The Real Housewives of Potomac has seen its fair share of cast changes over the years, with some fan-favorite members departing the show. One such departure was that of Monique Samuels, who left the series after a physical altercation with fellow cast member Candiace Dillard-Bassett during season 5. The incident, which aired in October 2020, saw Monique grabbing Candiace by the hair and pulling her down, leading to both women filing assault charges against each other. Despite the charges being dismissed in December 2019, the fallout from the altercation ultimately led Monique to announce her exit from RHOP after the season 5 reunion.
While Monique has moved on from the show, another former cast member, Katie Rost, has made occasional appearances since her departure. Katie, who appeared in the first season of the show, saw her role reduced in subsequent seasons before returning as a “friend” in season 4. Despite her limited screen time, Katie has made cameo appearances in later seasons, including a brief stint in season 7 in October 2022.
As fans of the show continue to follow the lives of their favorite RHOP stars, it’s clear that the series has seen its fair share of drama and cast changes. From physical altercations to surprise cameos, the Real Housewives of Potomac continues to keep viewers on their toes with its ever-evolving cast dynamics.
