Monique Samuels Goes Live, Dishes On Her RHOP Return, Overcoming PTSD That Stopped Her From Returning: "I've Been Running From the Platform That Gave Me a Foundation"

Monique Samuels broke the internet last weekend with rumors of her return to “The Real Housewives of Potomac” for season 10.

Fans of Monique are well aware that she has previously denied such rumors, stating that she would never return to the show.

However, last Saturday marked a surprising turn of events when Monique was spotted filming with the cast during the DC Pride Parade.

She was seen on a GNA float alongside fellow cast members Gizelle Bryant, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, Ashley Darby, Keiarna Stewart, and a few potential newcomers.

Now, a week after this sighting, Monique took to her Instagram Live on Thursday night (June 12) to discuss her return and explain what prompted her change of heart. She also addressed comments suggesting she returned solely for the paycheck, confirming that the compensation was indeed up to par.
