Date:

Key Takeaways:
– Candiace Dillard Bassett announces her departure from ‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ ahead of season eight.
– Bassett hints at the possibility of a future return to the franchise.
– A source confirms Bassett’s voluntary exit from the show.
– Bassett’s future plans could include her music career or co-hosting radio shows.

One of the popular faces of Bravo’s “Real Housewives Of Potomac” (RHOP), Candiace Dillard Bassett, is stepping away from the franchise, according to a PEOPLE exclusive, as cited by The Shade Room. Having joined the show during its third season, Bassett has been part of six seasons, up till the eighth one that just concluded.

Candiace’s Thoughts on Leaving ‘RHOP’

Bassett, in a conversation with PEOPLE, expressed her gratitude towards the journey RHOP has provided her. She’s keen now to concentrate on new pursuits.

She said, “As I embark on a new chapter after six remarkable years with The Real Housewives of Potomac, I am filled with gratitude for the enriching friendships, personal growth and moments of introspection that have defined this journey.” Bassett added that she made the choice to step aside from RHOP due to a plethora of new responsibilities and opportunities.

Nonetheless, PEOPLE also reports that the 37-year-old did not rule out a potential comeback to the franchise. Bassett termed her exit more as a ‘see you later’ than a ‘farewell’. She took this opportunity to appreciate her fans for their unwavering support.

Bassett stated, “Your unwavering support has been my guiding light, and I look forward to the exciting adventures that lie ahead — and more importantly, sharing them all with you!”

It’s Bassett’s Own Decision

Interestingly, a source told PEOPLE that Bassett’s decision to leave ‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ was entirely her own. It remains uncertain whether the opportunities she mentioned are related to her music career.

As RHOP fans may recall, Bassett had a solid music career debut during her time on the show. She even filmed music videos with the other cast members. Her first album, ‘Deep Space,’ released in 2021 and her breakthrough single ‘Drive Back’ went on to become the “song of the year” at the 2023 Bravos.

Intriguingly, Bassett has been making rounds due to her co-hosting stint on Angela Yee’s nationally syndicated radio show, where she interviewed Ray J, stirring a lot of chatter. Thus, perhaps we might see more of host Candiace’s avatar in the future!

Another RHOP Star in News

In other RHOP related news, Karen Huger, another prominent face from ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’, stirred headlines recently. Huger faced DUI and related charges in Maryland last week. Expressing gratitude for being alive, she issued a statement after the charges.

As Candiace Dillard Bassett starts her new journey, it will be interesting to see where her dynamic career takes her and whether fans will see her again in RHOP. No matter her path, Bassett’s journey up to now has certainly struck a chord with her fans and the RHOP audience at large.
