Monique Samuels Returns to Real Housewives of Potomac for Season 10: A New Chapter Begins

Monique Samuels is making a comeback to Bravo's Real Housewives of Potomac for Season 10. After leaving the show in 2020, Monique is returning in a Friend capacity. Following her divorce from former NFL player Chris Samuels, Monique is excited to show a new chapter of her life as a single woman and mother of three. Fans can expect to see a different side of Monique as she navigates life on her own terms.

Monique first joined RHOP in season 2 in 2017 and quickly became a fan favorite with her luxury lifestyle and no-nonsense attitude. However, tensions with her castmates, especially Candiace Dillard Bassett, led to a dramatic on-camera altercation in season 5. This incident ultimately influenced Monique's decision to leave the show, prioritizing her family and mental health.

Since departing from RHOP, Monique has focused on her children and business ventures. She briefly appeared on OWN's Love & Marriage: DC with her then-husband before filing for divorce in 2023. Monique realized that staying in an unhappy marriage was not setting a good example for her children and chose to prioritize her own happiness.

Season 10 of RHOP is set to premiere later this year, with Monique's return bringing a fresh perspective to the show. Notably, two Housewives from the previous season, Mia Thornton and Karen Huger, will not be returning. Thornton announced her departure due to a move to Atlanta, while Huger is serving a prison sentence for a DUI conviction. Fans can catch up on The Real Housewives of Potomac on Peacock for more drama and entertainment.
