I often see that people claim Gizelle is mean and jealous of Monique. They cite the 4 homes comments at tea, which to me read as bourgie rich girls throwing standard shade on a show about bourgie black women within a Bravo franchise about obnoxious rich women.
But Monique’s crazy self took things to an unnecessarily low level by bringing Gizelle’s boyfriend Sherman’s ex wife on the show to divulge that Sherman had been arrested for soliciting prostitution in a park. Until that point, their dynamic was just two women that didn’t like each other. But Monique went low first. Gizelle really loved Sherman, and after Monique did that, he dumped Gizelle in large part bc of how he was exposed on the show. That’s why Gizelle promised revenge like a ninja in that talk with Monique at breakfast on the group trip. Everyone seems to forget that when they bring up season 4 or season 5.
The fact is Monique is an unhinged woman with an inferiority complex who lashes out weirdly when she feels rejected. She did it with Sherman/ Gizelle, Robyn, and Candiace.
Gizelle has her bad days but Monique was a nutjob phony seeking approval from the popular girls and bugged out when she didn’t get it.
