‘The Real Housewives Of Potomac’ have been setting off all sorts of fireworks with their fourth season. 

Past instalments have seen etiquette serve as the center of conflict. However, the show’s latest cycle has seen the drama between the Maryland matriarchs escalate like never before.

After ending 2018 with news she was readying a new reality TV venture without her highly successful run alongside the Braxton sisters on WeTV’s ‘Braxton Family Values,’ the singer-songwriter kicked 2019 into high gear by making history as the first African American winner of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ (click here to read more) and also announcing – despite her prior reports of ‘retiring’ from the music industry – that she was readying new music.
