Candiace Dillard Bassett and her fine-looking man, Chris Bassett, are expecting their first (likely) sassy, definitely precious child together.

Their exciting announcement arrived a few weeks after Candiace publicly disclosed her exit from the Real Housewives of Potomac series. Starring (and expertly reading her costars for filth) on Seasons 3-8, Candiace was transparent about her IVF journey on RHOP. She also shared that she and Chris went “through with a successful egg retrieval,” resulting in six viable embryos. Candiace is now pregnant and pleased, but underneath her excitement lies one understandable area that still fills her soul with dread, aka the stretch marks demon(s).
Candiace Dillard Bassett says “not today, stretch marks”
Like her or not, one can never deny Candiace’s heightened level of wit. In all situations, both the good and the bad, she had a clap-back on deck, ready to fire at random. Unfortunately, her quips sometimes landed below the belt, causing tensions amongst her cast. After a heated Season 8, Candiace exited stage left, but this does not mean her wit also dropped off and died.
Case in point, check out her recent statement on X, the artist formally known as Twitter. Her copied and pasted post below hysterically references her stretching belly and the marks that are popping up on her skin.
This post reads: “Let me tell you something. I will not be smited [by] the demon of stretch marks in the 11th hour of this pregnancy. My stomach is starting to itch more and more and the enemy will not prosper around my belly button or anywhere else on my body. I rebuke it, OK?! REBUKE!!!”
I love females, sometimes, because the comments that rolled in were all supportive AF. Recommendations of oils, creams, belly masks, and vitamins equally flooded her post because women can (and should) rise to the top to support other women. Even the ones they have never met.
Best wishes, Candiace, and make a cameo with your babe on RHOP once you pop.
Real Housewives of Potomac is streaming on Peacock.
