In the new season of RHOA, Kenya was fired for sharing explicit photos of castmate Brit Eady at the opening of Kenya’s hair salon. Though some fans were glad she was let go, others felt that the blame was on Brit, who had previously mentioned her ‘pistol’ in an argument with Kenya.
On the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Gizelle was asked if she hopes Kenya will return.
“I would like that, and I’ll give you my two cents on that,” she said, via @reignlew on X. “We had Kenya, who called Pistol Girl a peasant. But that’s kind of like a rite of passage … And that was turned into, ‘I’m going to get a pistol.'”
“[Brit] is also a person that’s probably not been with Bravo for more than 30 days,” she went on. “So it’s kind of like, you should have been fired on the spot … And [then] we would never would have gotten to the [haircare moment] … Because that should have been nipped in the bud immediately. It would have been on Potomac. I’m going to say that … So if one is gone, they both should be gone. If one is there, they both should be there.”
She then addressed the exit of her own castmate, Mia.
“I’m not gonna miss me talking to her and … trying to figure out, is this a lie? Is this not a lie? What’s true?” said Gizelle. “I don’t need a jigsaw puzzle.”
Gizelle hinted that Mia’s exit could “potentially” leave space for her friend Robyn’s return.
When asked if Robyn wants to come back, Gizelle answered, “That’s a Robyn question, [but] I don’t see why she wouldn’t be, like, she’d be there with [me], her girlfriend … We’ll see.”
“But it does leave room, because we do have a Karen [Huger] issue,” she continued, alluding to Karen’s prison sentence. “We have that. Mia’s gone. So it leaves room and space for others. But I always like to play with new people.”
According to Gizelle, Stacey was fun to play with “until she wasn’t.”
