Gizelle Bryant Maintains TJ Jones Was Paid to Appear as Stacey Rusch’s Love Interest

Gizelle Bryant alleges that TJ Jones has “receipts, proof, screenshots” validating his claim he was hired by Stacey Rusch to appear as her boyfriend on the Real Housewives of Potomac.

If you need a little refresher, TJ was Stacey’s “friend” that no one really understood. 

On the heels of Stacey’s split from her ex-husband, she and TJ maintained a “platonic” relationship until she was formally divorced. 

At the season 9 RHOP reunion, not only did TJ not appear alongside the rest of the men, he told Eddie Osefo he was paid by Stacey — an actor if you will. 

Gizelle gave further credence to these claims by confirming his story on last night’s Watch What Happens Live. 

Andy Cohen asked the Reasonably Shady Housewife if she has spoken to the “friend of” since the reunion. 

“No, but I know very good friends of his, and I’ve spoken to them,” she dished. 

Porsha Williams called out that the actor still hasn’t posted his receipts online, despite his threats of leaking the tea.

“He didn’t drop them online because he’s still trying to get his money,” Gizelle concluded. 

For someone as fabulous as Stacey, I would be shocked to learn she had to hire someone to add to her storyline. 

However, their relationship felt both forced and awkward to watch — which leads me to think it wasn’t genuine and definitely made for TV. 

Watch the clip below:
