Monique Samuels Teases Her Rumored ‘RHOP’ Return On Social Media

In an Instagram post, on April 24, Monique Samuels, who was a full-time “RHOP” cast member seasons 2-5, appeared to tease her returning “friend of” status.

Dressed in a black full-length gown in full glam, Samuels posed for the photo in her kitchen with a caption that read, “In the kitchen…cooking,” accompanied by a winking kiss emoji.

Many fans took her post to mean that what Samuels is “cooking” is a return to “RHOP,” a rumor that the reality star has not denied.

Rumors Have Swirled About Samuels’ Return Since She Was Left Out Of The Season 11 Cast Announcement

Per The Neighborhood Talk, sources close to Samuels shared with the outlet that she will be returning to “RHOP” once again in a “friend of” role. However, neither she, Bravo or the show’s production team have confirmed her inclusion in the new season.

According to previous reports, Samuels was left out of the season 11 cast due to lack of drama surrounding her ex-husband Chris Samuels, who was rumored to have dated cast member Stacey Rusch.

Per Reality Blurb, a source said that “Bravo thought they were going to get some drama from the Chris Samuels and Stacey Rusch situation,” but “The rumored situation with Chris and Monique failed to bring any real drama.”

The source also noted that Samuels’ “failed receipts” at the reunion and her “backpedaling” afterward on social media didn’t inspire Bravo to grant her another season.

‘RHOP’ Season 11 Drama Is Rumored To Have Already Started

“RHOP” OG Ashley Darby and alleged new cast member Courtney Ajinca are rumored to be feuding as season 11 continues to film.

Per a post from reality TV blogger Nate Williams the two women recently got into an explosive fight that culminated with Ajinca calling Darby a pedophile.

“POTOMAC SEASON 11 TEA. (exclusively from close source) -Word on the street is that the fierce newbie Courtney Ajinca and Ashley Darby are feuding BAD. Things allegedly got so bad, Courtney called Ashley a p*dop*hle,” the post read.

Williams then clarified that sharing the information was not intended for online users to cyberbully either of the women.

”Let’s be clear, I do not want to send any hate to Ashley or Courtney. I’m simply relaying the news that was brought to me by someone in Potomac.”

Fans Recently Shared Seeing The The Cast Filming

Eager “RHOP” fans were excited earlier this month when the cast was seen filming in D.C. Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, and Stacey Rusch were all seen filming at a Washington Wizards game.

It should also be noted that since filming has already started, it is highly likely that Bravo cameras will capture Osefo’s fraud trial that starts in May.

The ‘RHOP’ Season 11 Cast Announcement Featured Return Of Two OGs

On April 10, Bravo took to social media to announce the returning cast for “RHOP” season 11, and while it was expected that Bryant, Darby, Osefo, and Rusch would return, the inclusion of franchise OGs Robyn Dixon and Karen Huger grabbed all the attention.

Huger was last seen during part three of the season 10 reunion, which followed her sit-down interview with Andy Cohen discussing her prison stay, sobriety, and future on the show. She will return to the show in a full-time role after being absent last season.

As for Dixon, she has not appeared on “RHOP” since she was fired after season 8. She was set to appear last season for a celebration of her “Reasonably Shady” podcast with Bryant, who confirmed that Dixon chose not to attend because she was not happy “with how she left the show.”

Her inclusion in season 11 marks the return of the show’s “Green-Eyed Bandits,” which is the nickname of her bestie friendship with Bryant.
