RHOP Recap (S9E8)

Season 1, Ep. 10

In this episode of The Vault with Monica & Amir, we dive deep into the drama-packed world of The Real Housewives of Potomac. From Karen’s courtroom antics to Ashley’s unexpected singing career, we’re unpacking it all—messy wigs, shady rooftop meetups, and Mia’s jaw-dropping confession about “the fathers of her children.”


Monica and Amir serve up unfiltered takes on Mia’s questionable behavior, Wendy’s family drama, and Giselle’s surprising new vibe. Plus, we dish on Ashley’s glow-up, Karen’s paparazzi moment coming out of court, and Wendy’s mother’s showdown with Mia that left us speechless.


And it doesn’t stop there—we’re spilling the tea on Bravo’s Fan Fest, Portia’s hilarious clapbacks, and why Phaedra swears she could’ve saved RHODubai. This episode is packed with shade, laughs, and the kind of Bravo chaos we live for.
