In a sneak peek clip of #RHOP episode three, which is set to air Oct. 20, tensions flare between Darby, Bryant, and their co-stars—Stacey Rusch, Wendy Osefo, Keiarna Stewart, Mia Thornton, and Jassi Rideaux—after the group rushed over in a sprinter van from Karen Huger’s Femme Powered event, where the 61-year-old star was receiving an award. They arrived just in time to support the event honoring Bryant’s late father, who lost his battle with a brain tumor, but they were four minutes late.
Rusch, Osefo, Stewart, Thornton, and Rideaux thought they were doing the right thing by supporting both causes. They arrived at 8:04 PM, with enough time to enjoy the gathering until it wrapped up at 9 PM. However, instead of gratitude, they faced hostility and were asked to leave the venue immediately.
“Tell them to get out of here!” Gizelle told security on Sunday’s episode, as the girls stood by bewildered by her harsh reaction.
Darby stayed quiet during the confrontation, but as the ladies headed back to their van, she unexpectedly followed them with a QR code for donations to the National Brain Tumor Society. Rusch, Osefo, Stewart, Thornton, and Rideaux sped off feeling “offended” and angry.

Gizelle and Ashley will provide more insight into their clash with their co-stars in the forthcoming episode. In the teaser, Bryant expressed her frustration over her co-stars attending Huger’s event, highlighting the emotional significance of her father’s death and its impact on the benefit.
“My father passed away months ago. Karen getting an award? Who gives a sh-t! This is the same woman that just hit a tree!” the 54-year-old entrepreneur said in her confessional, referring to the reality TV’s star’s DUI incident that occurred in March.
“This is a real event in which we’re raising real money. Don’t play with me. Not tonight.”
Darby followed up with her own theory, suggesting that Huger “knew what she was doing” when she intentionally and, shadily, reminded the ladies to attend her Femme Powered event on the same day.
