Gizelle Bryant is trading shade for apologies, and according to the Potomac pot-stirrer herself, she’s “evolving” into a “better person.” The Real Housewives of Potomac vet is making amends with two of her “friends,” Tia Glover and Dr. Wendy Osefo, after spreading rumors about Tia’s husband allegedly being on dating apps and calling Wendy a “scammer” and a “criminal” amid her ongoing legal troubles.
During the Oct. 18 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Bryant acknowledged that she “did” a good job and felt great about apologizing to Glover, whose marital struggles with her husband, Rob Glover, have been unfolding on RHOP.

Rather than approaching Tia directly with the sensitive information, Gizelle acknowledged that she repeated the allegations to others, contributing to the drama surrounding her co-star’s marriage.
When Cohen praised her for taking accountability, Gizelle agreed that she’d done a good job and said she felt great about making amends.
“People need to realize that Gizelle is evolving. Okay? I’m becoming a better person,” she declared.
Cohen seemed pleasantly surprised, noting that viewers rarely see the longtime Housewife apologize.
And Tia wasn’t the only person to receive an unexpected mea culpa.
Gizelle Bryant Also Apologized To Wendy Osefo After Calling Her A “Scammer” And A “Criminal”
Gizelle also had some apologizing to do when it came to Dr. Wendy Osefo, whom she called a “scammer” and a “criminal” while discussing the ongoing insurance fraud case involving Wendy and her husband, Eddie Osefo.
During a conversation with Tia on #RHOP, Gizelle questioned whether the ladies should rally around Wendy in light of the allegations against her.
“I do want us to step up for Wendy,” Tia said.
“But are we going to act like Wendy did not potentially commit a crime? I just can’t wrap my head around that,” Gizelle responded.
When Tia reminded her that they weren’t the “judge or the jury,” Gizelle doubled down, arguing that the evidence wasn’t in Wendy’s favor. She also suggested that Wendy wouldn’t extend her the same grace if their situations were reversed.
“If it were me, Wendy would run me down to the ground,” Gizelle claimed.
When Tia asked whether she’d personally experienced that kind of treatment from Wendy, Gizelle delivered another dig.
“I’m not a scammer. I’m not a criminal, so I haven’t given her that to give,” she said.
Tia, however, wasn’t comfortable with the accusations.
“I just think it’s in poor taste, babe,” she said in a confessional, arguing that they shouldn’t label Wendy a scammer or criminal based on allegations, even if they privately believed them.
Gizelle continued, acknowledging that Wendy had been arrested while insisting she had no desire to pile on.
“Do I feel like slamming this in Wendy’s face? No, I don’t need to kick Wendy when she’s down,” she said, before joking that her castmate was “all the way on the ground” like a “starfish.”
Wendy and Eddie have denied wrongdoing in connection with the fraud allegations, and the criminal case remains unresolved.
After watching the footage back, however, Gizelle admitted that her remarks made her uncomfortable, particularly given the progress she believes the two women have made in their friendship.

“So I saw that back, and I very much regretted it. Like I cringed watching myself say that because Wendy and I, we’re like actually I think really good friends,” Gizelle explained during WWHL.
“Maybe not after she sees this episode, but I feel like I took eight steps back and I don’t want to do that. So Wendy, I’m sorry. Wendy, I’m sorry.”
Whether Wendy accepts the apology remains to be seen.
