RHOP Alum Says She’d Consider Returning Under 2 Circumstances

Former “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Candiace Dillard Bassett is sharing what it would take for her to return to the series after announcing her departure in early 2024.

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight in March 2025, Dillard Bassett said she would consider eventually returning to the show. She said, however, that her current business opportunities may prevent her from appearing on the Bravo series for some time.

She also shared what she would need to return to RHOP.

“Friends. You need friends. People who want to understand you. And who aren’t dedicated to misunderstanding you,” said Dillard Bassett to the publication.

She also said she would consider coming back for a good salary.

“A good coin. A good old nasty coin is always nice. And for me, that’s it. I really enjoyed my time on Potomac. I mean you really can’t look at the legacy of the show without me in it. And I’m really proud of that, humbly,” said Dillard Bassett while speaking to Entertainment Tonight.

During an April 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dillard Bassett said she decided to leave RHOP after she found out she was pregnant with her son, Jett, whom she shares with her husband, Chris Bassett.

“I wanted this space around us and around our child to feel peaceful and to feel free and to feel positive,” said Dillard Bassett during the 2024 interview.

She also said she would consider coming back to RHOP if the show made some major changes.

“The space would have to be different. I think time is always a teller of all things,” said Dillard Bassett to the publication.

During a November 2024 interview with People magazine, Dillard Bassett spoke about motherhood. She said Jett, who was born in October 2024, “is just the cutest little thing.”

“Chris and I couldn’t be happier. It’s so cliché to say, but he’s brought such joy to our lives in ways I never would have been able to describe before. It’s pure love!” said Dillard Bassett during the People magazine interview.

She also shared she is looking forward to spending the rest of her life with Jett by her side.

“I just look at him and envision all the adventures we’re going to have. Throughout my pregnancy, when I would talk to him in my stomach, I would say, ‘I can’t wait to see who you’re going to be.’ And that’s been the joy in my heart that’s continued after his birth. It’s exciting to think about. I’m so ready for a lifetime of being on the sidelines, cheering him on,” said Dillard Bassett to People.
