The Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: The Caged Bird Sings


Stacey’s public humiliation is far from the most damning moment in the final minutes of this season.

Currently, Dorit is making thinly veiled comments around Sutton’s alcohol abuse on Beverly Hills, despite having her own signature drink and a husband with a DUI arrest himself; Kyle Richards’ choice to be sober last year was met with scorn, despite that being a reasonable decision given her own family history. When Potomac started nearly a decade ago, it was a rebranded franchise that was originally conceived around “Jack and Jill moms,” obsessed with performances around etiquette, social standing, and aspirational culture around the Black professional class in the greater DC-area suburbs. It’s a stunning fall from grace from the early pretense of the show, but it is also a testament to the reality that nothing is permanent; time passes, money and love can fade, and the accomplishments that validate your sense of superiority can vanish just as quickly as they came.
