“Real Housewives of Potomac” shocker! Has Stacey Rusch paid TJ to meet her?

Stacey Rusch let off a bomb in the second episode of last week Real housewives from Potomac Season 9 reunification when she revealed that she and her friend Thomas Anthony “TJ” Jones had taken their separate ways.

But in the third episode of the reunification, which was broadcast on Sunday, March 2, TJ dropped his own bomb and claimed that Stacey had offered him financial compensation to appear in the Bravo series, and still owed him the dough.

“You know that she pays me to make the show, man … how, what was talking about?” TJ said in a FaceTime call with Wendy Osefo's husband Eddie Osefo and Keiarma Stewart's friend Gregory Diggs, captured by Rhop Cameras behind the stage. “You have to talk to this girl. Give me my money!”

“I don't go to this fake asshow with these fake asses. Obviously, she didn't invite me,” said TJ when he was asked why he was not present and added: “I will never be back in DC.”

“Look, she's wake, that's it,” noted TJ.

His words were a surprise for Stacey's Costars, including Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby and Jacqueline Blake. But nobody was as shocked as Stacey himself.

“It is hurtful. It's so hurtful. It's all I can say,” said an astonished Stacey, moments after the Reunion host Andy Cohen showed her video of TJS words. “I can't believe that someone who is proud of being a man of God and being honest – and someone who, I think, loves me, even if we are not together – would say that?”

The former QVC host insisted that TJ did not say the truth.

“I've never paid a cent and never owed him,” she said, noticing that she had never offered to pay for his expenses for reunification. “I never paid for him to visit me! It's just not true. … I never paid him a capacity.”

“I can't believe that he says. I just have the feeling that the carpet was pulled below me,” added Stacey.

This is not the first time that Stacey was surprised by TJS behavior in front of the camera. She previously said that she broke things out with him during the holidays after seeing her “disrespectful” on the show.

“To see how he talked to me and how my family reacted to it, it was difficult,” she said.

The pressure to have their romance in the spotlight – Stacey's first since the separation from her 16 -year -old husband Thiemo Rusch – ultimately led her to her death. But the two were still “best friends”.

“I concentrate on myself,” she said, emphasizing that she entered a new chapter after her divorce was completed.

This friendship between Stacey and TJ can now be on the rock. Stacey, which was pushed by the line -up and Cohen to clear it to clarify things, remained clear that she had kept her communication outside the camera.

“TJ and I are no longer together and I don't owe him a call [right now] about a lie. … it's a lie, “said Stacey.” I'll absolutely call him With my lawyer. ”

But their Potomac house women were not at their side. “Nobody believes you. And the world will not believe you either,” said Gizelle, “you repeatedly called this man that he is her best friend. Your best friend will not be on her, so he says the truth.”

“TJ behaved like a paid actor. … just let's stop,” said Kiarma. “I really like you Stacey. These are bulls —”

None of it fluctuated Stacey. “I don't care,” she said, when she said, nobody believed her after she had denied TJ would have payment income on social media. “It is neither here nor there. It is not important to me and I know who I am and I am in my truth. If one of them has changed, I will give them that. But I don't care.”

She also emphasized that TJ had nothing to do with becoming a housewife. “Let me tell me: I didn't need a TJ to get this platform or any platform,” she said to Ashley. “Let me be clear. I don't need any accessories and I won't say it again.”

When asked by Cohen, why she thought TJ said that, Stacey wondered whether it had something to do with the way her romance ended.

“I didn't want him to come [to the reunion]”, she said that Watch what happens live with Andy Cohen Host. “He is very aware of how I looked at how he treated me. We talked about it. We talked extensively about this show and this season. The only thing I can tell them is that people are hurt who violate people.”

The Bravo star also asked why her Costars TJs trusted words. “Each of you had doubts about TJ. They had all doubts and they all talked about him so badly,” she said. “And now that if it is a little radiant for you and you feel like saying something to hurt me, you literally believe this man about me. You know me!”
