Part 2 of the #RHOP Reunion didn’t include more paginated shade from Monique Samuels’ binder, but it addressed the biggest moment of the season.

During the show the friendship eviscerating Cabernet combat was addressed, the moment Monique grabbed Candiace Dillard by the hair and “dragged her” across a table.
The blowup led to the two filing second-degree assault charges against each other, Monique pretty much being blackballed by her castmates and allegations from Candiace that Monique “paid bloggers” to spread lies about what transpired.
During the reunion, Candiace said that Monique was well aware of people bullying her about the fight, and telling her that she “deserved it” but did nothing to stop it.
“She saw it, and she went to sleep at night, and she allowed it to be!” said Candiace.
“I don’t understand how she developed these narratives in her head, and it sucks that she’s doing it because she’s actually making it worse for herself,” said a stoic Monique.
Mo admitted that she felt triggered by Candiace because she put her hand in her face, under her chin. Both Andy and the fellow housewives accused Mo of lying but in a surprising twist, production aired clips of the fight footage backing up her claims. There was indeed a hand twirled under her chin. Mo also claimed she had dental records to prove that her lip was busted by Candiace’s glass during the dustup but Andy declined to see them.
I wonder what this would be like had Post-It dragged me 🤔 Because they sitting here like I didn’t have a damn injury 🙄 #rhop

Monique has since noted that production backed her up.
Ooop!! Thanks Production ❤️ #replay #rhop

And at one point during the chat, Candiace stormed out in tears because she said she was still traumatized about what transpired. People like Mo, didn’t buy it.
Give her an Oscar please!!! #rhop

The production “receipts” moment has #RHOP fans divided.
Some people STILL think Monique isn’t being completely truthful about why she went after Candiace and others think Mo’s been completely vindicated.
Candiace and her tears worked hard but production and Monique’s lawyers worked harder 😭#RHOP pic.twitter.com/e7riVViO3n

Not only that, but Andy Cohen is also being shaded for how he addressed Monique about the altercation.
Hit the flip for that.
Andy’s being accused of “gaslighting” Monique and asking her one-sided questions.

During the reunion, the Bravo exec questioned why Monique didn’t seem remorseful and lacked emotion about the fight.
“You’re very matter of fact and dry about the whole thing. Here we are, you’ve been thinking about this reunion for a year, you’re face to face with her for the first time in a year, I think it’s odd that you’re very unemotional about it.”
“I’m just not built like that,” said Monique.
So am I supposed to be crying so they can believe me? I’m not an actor sorry 🤷🏽♀️ #rhop

Why didn’t I let her go? She just bust me in the face with a glass and continued to throw glass. Wtf? #rhop

That set some people off and people accused Andy of being biased towards Monique and in favor of Candiace.
“Twitter giving @Andy the business and rightfully so! Y’all gone stop trying to police black Womens feeling! We can’t be aggressive, we can’t be calm, we can’t do anything! That’s not your job to tell Monique how to feel! #RHOPReunion,” wrote one.
“Andy is very biased and it shows. How does he want Monique to act? It’s like he wants her to act overly emotional or “aggressive” but just because she’s calm it’s a problem?” added another.

Andy is very biased and it shows. How does he want Monique to act? It's like he wants her to act overly emotional or "aggressive" but just because she's calm it's a problem?? Like shouldn't you be happy since you allegedly "don't condone violence"?#RHOP pic.twitter.com/xmLQAts4FW

Andy you are on the wrong side and you are being manipulated and gaslighted by Candice. Why are you trying to force Monique to cry and not accept that she is a Strong black women. Most of us don’t cry about a fight a whole year after it happend #RHOP #TearsOfAClown pic.twitter.com/esAsFhaPhN

Andy, you can't tell Monique how to feel or act about the fight. You barely filmed her after the incident so how do you know what she went through. #RHOP #RHOPReunion pic.twitter.com/Igvf9v2SMq

What do YOU think was Andy being biased or just asking the tough questions???
The third and final part of The Real Housewives of Potomac reunion airs next Sunday on Bravo at 9 p.m.
