Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard came for journalist Jemele Hill on Twitter after the podcast host commented on her infamous physical altercation with co-star Monique Samuels, according to MadameNoire.
Hill made the comments on Aug. 25. The sports reporter was referring to an argument between Dillard and Samuels during season five. When the argument became heated, Samuels, at one point, requested that Dillard remove her hand from her face.
Dillard ignored her, and the situation escalated after Dillard repeatedly screamed “Drag me, Monique,” while the women were within inches of each other’s faces. Eventually, Samuels snapped and grabbed Dillard. The two women fought as the other ladies and crew tried to stop them, unsuccessfully.
After catching up on The Real Housewives of Potomac and seeing the infamous altercation, the podcast host merely pointed out the fact that Dillard literally did ask to be dragged. Hill did concede, as we all do, that grown women fighting is uncouth. However, people who do not want to fight generally don’t ask people to fight them.
My guilty pleasure summer watch is #RHOP. I’m finally at the season 5 reunion where Monique brought the binder. Here’s what I’m not understanding about their fight: When you dare someone to drag you, and then they do exactly what you asked, how is this an attack?

Clearly grown women fighting is a terrible look, but it is blame on both sides. Candiace is always telling people she’s about that action, and then you get that action you asked for, so … Part of me thinks the real emotional trauma is losing the fight. #RHOP

When Dillard saw Hill’s comments, she had something to say. Apparently, she was looking for a reaction because she called Hill a “chicken sh*t” for not having her direct messages on Twitter open for Dillard’s convenience. She also said she’d messaged Hill on Instagram.
Messaged you on ig since you’re too chicken shit to have you Twitter dm’s on. @jemelehill

Dillard, who now goes by her first name only, Candiace, has been on The Real Housewives of Potomac since 2018 and is also an aspiring singer. Hill did not publicly respond to Candiace’s summons. But if she does…
