Crews 
Word on the streets is, that the streets are tired of the gaslighting, blatant colorism, and favoritism that is running rampant on ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ following season 8.
It was already announced that Candiace Dillard Bassett has decided to leave the show ahead of season 9, and after the third and final installment of the S8 reunion aired on Sunday night (April 14), it is clear why.
Earlier this week, Bravo shared a teaser of part 3 of the reunion which showed Andy Cohen asking cast member, Gizelle Bryant who she believes was at fault for the viral altercation during the season.
As fans know, a big brawl occurred after the GNA fashion show hosted by Gizelle and Ashley Darby. While clips of the fight made their way online before the season even aired, the actual fight didn’t air on the show.
However, from the footage, as well as audio that did make it on the show, it was clear that the fight was brought on by Ashley’s friend, Deborah.
Despite this, Gizelle’s response to Andy quizzing her about who was at fault has left viewers outraged as she blames Candiace and Wendy Osefo.
Get into some of the clips below.

Ahead of Sunday’s reunion airing, the hashtag #BoycottRHOP started making its rounds online, and a petition to get Gizelle fired as fans state they are tired of the blatant gaslighting, colorism, and railroading against Candiace and Wendy.
The petition reads:
For far too long Gizelle Bryant has used RHOP as a tool to tear down women and peddle overt colorism to the darker skin women. All the while failing to contribute to a noticeable storyline that kept viewers interested in her and her employment by NBC Universal. It is time to let her go.
You can view the petition HERE, and view just some of the tweets below from outraged fans.
Not Gizelle Bryant trending and a petition to have her fired circulating. I love this song @Andy what say you?
Mind you this is all coming after several years/seasons of her questionable behavior #RHOP #RHOPReunion #BoycottRHOP pic.twitter.com/fIb8dF5Us5

Mia laughed at Candiace for crying while Candiace gave her support for crying over Gordon. #RHOP doesn’t deserve Candiace 🤦🏽♀️ #BoycottRHOP pic.twitter.com/IK8IzcFr2N

The #boycottRHOP trending should send a message. At some point, changes need to be made. If we can recognize gaslighting in scenes, imagine what happens that gets edited out. This is bigger than what we “signed up for”.

Enough is enough. Bravo has turned a blind eye to so many disgusting antics over the years and this franchise has gotten completely out of hand. It's clear -we- are going to have to make some change happen.

Andy, Bravo and Truly original are essentially telling Candiace that when she is at work, and she says something that someone else doesn't like she should expect to be attacked and that her employer will side with the attacker. Any other employer would be sued. #boycottRHOP

No word from Bravo or the ladies on the backlash yet, but Wendy did take to IG to share snaps after the reunion aired.
