Gizelle Bryant and Jamal Bryant
Candiace Dillard was asked her opinion on her good girlfriend Gizelle's reasoning for her breakup with Jamal Bryant that Gizzy says was because of "long-distance" during the pandemic. "We were working on us getting back to together … but he lives in Atlanta [and] I live in Maryland … with the pandemic we just realized it’s not the right time,” said Gizelle. “It’s just not going to work.” The pandemic?! "GIRL, BYE!", says Candiace Dillard.
Gizelle Bryant is denying that her breakup with her ex-husband/ex-boyfriend was due to a shady #RHOP reunion revelation and instead she's claiming that it was actually helpful. On Sunday The Real Housewife of Potomac did some rumor control while appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" alongside housewives superfan Michael Rapaport. In particular, Gizelle was asked to discuss her most recent breakup with Jamal Bryant that she said was "caused by the pandemic" that kept them from seeing each other. On "Watch What Happens Live" however Andy Cohen asked Gizelle if there was another reason for the split; Monique Samuels' infamous binder. In case you forgot, Monique brought out a binder at the #RHOP Reunion and accused Gizelle and Jamal of faking their relationship. She alleged that she had text messages from Jamal's real girlfriend, a fellow Pastor who sent her texts and pictures of the man of God in her bed and she even read out texts of the Pastor allegedly downplaying his relationship with Gizelle. According to Gizelle however, the binder did not play a part in the breakup and actually "brought them closer" as a couple. "That actually brought us closer," said Gizelle. "Meaning we talked about it, he felt so bad about it. I mean it was really a kind of a great moment for us," she added. "I hate to say that but it allowed us to talk about some things we hadn't talked about. But be clear, that whole reunion, all that she was talking about was old news. Jamal and I had already talked about that."
Now Gizelle's telling The Breakfast Club that their real relationship is really over, in part because of the pandemic. After confirming a "plot twist" in her love life, Gizelle told the hosts; “We were working on us getting back to together … but he lives in Atlanta [and] I live in Maryland … with the pandemic we just realized it’s not the right time,” said Gizelle. "It’s just not going to work.” She then added that she's very much so "single", " free"and ready for her Hot Girl Summer, “Spring, Winter, and Fall" but made sure t add that Jamal will always be in her life. The exes have three daughters, who weren't fans of their reconciliation, together.
