The drama on  ‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ season five reunion has gone all sorts of viral.

Viewers saw Gizelle Bryant lit up like a firework by Monique Samuels on part 1 of the show’s climax, after the latter brought a binder full of receipts to expose the alleged antics of Gizelle and her comrades.

In interviews before and following, Monique has stressed that she made the move – which saw her slam Gizelle for allegedly faking her rekindled romance with Pastor Jamal Bryant – in response to shady antics towards her family.

Indeed, she asserts that, as the reunion progresses, it will be revealed that there were two shows in motion – one in front of the camera and a muddy, messy one behind it.

Now, Pastor Jamal – who was accused of infidelity and more – has gone on live to defend himself and Gizelle.

Beyond a blanket denial, he intimates Monique’s husband – former NFL player Chris Samuels – is suffering from anger management problems and attributes this to brain disease CTE. Ouch.

More drama awaits after the jump…
