This season of The Real Housewives of Potomac features an exceptionally confident Dr. Wendy Osefo, and fellow cast member Mia Thornton regrets shaming Zen Wen's new attitude. Mia is the newest housewife to join the crew of television personalities on season 6, and she has managed to get into arguments with a handful of veterans in her first dozen of episodes. On the latest Real Housewives of Potomac episode, Mia made condescending comments about Wendy's attire, but here's why fans think that Mia regrets the comments she made.
Although Wendy isn't the new girl on the block anymore, she's been getting hazed in the past slew of Potomac episodes as if she was just moving into her freshman dorm. Wendy kicked off season 6 introducing the group of ladies to her new breasts, "Happy" and "Ness." After she got her chest done, Wendy demonstrated that she was more confident in the way she looked and proud of her body. From wearing more risqué outfits to arguing with her so-called bad friend Gizelle Bryant, Wendy was new and improved on season 6. Unfortunately for Wendy, not all of her co-stars embraced the changes in the professor's personality and appearance.
Criticism of Wendy's changes began with Gizelle and Robyn Dixon noticing that she was acting differently than she did last season when she had "more substance." Wendy was offended by Gizelle implying that she was superficial because she got her breasts done and she enjoyed showing off her body. While Gizelle's shady comments aren't shocking to The Real Housewives of Potomac fans, many viewers were surprised to find that Mia had her own issues with Wendy's transformation. As Wendy discussed her frustration with Gizelle's comments, Mia chimed in with her thoughts. Mia sided with Gizelle and Robyn, arguing that Wendy didn't have to wear a provocative outfit while hanging out with her friends. Quickly, Mia surely regretted making these comments. After Monique Samuels' replacement Mia Thornton shamed Wendy for showing off her body, the Potomac women swiftly reminded Mia that she has a past as a stripper.
Mia has flip-flopped on what jobs she used to have as she has both denounced and embraced the stripper title. When she was called out for her past after judging Wendy, however, it was clear that Mia put herself in a tough position. Mia's only defense was that she was getting paid for dressing provocatively where Wendy wasn't. Mia has demonstrated herself to be sex and body-positive throughout the season and it's likely Mia regretted making judgments on Wendy's appearance as it made her look hypocritical. After the episode aired, entrepreneur and mother Mia Thornton revealed that she too was disappointed in her comments. Mia took to Twitter to share her change of heart. "Watching the playback got me like... self-talk 101. 'Mia your past traumas were to prepare you for your future purpose —Empowerment.' @WendyOsefo looks good and what’s most important is she’s full and confident. #growth."
Just like any other housewife, Mia has made a few mistakes. While she isn't perfect, by owning the situation, Mia demonstrated that she regrets shaming Wendy. While her resumé as a seductive entertainer likely pressured her to take a less contradictory stance, Mia is already proving herself to be a respectable addition to The Real Housewives of Potomac by holding herself accountable.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays at 8 PM ET on Bravo.
