Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac are clapping like proud mamas now that Candiace Dillard and Mia Thornton have made amends…at least temporarily. After multiple episodes of the two throwing vicious shade toward one another, they had a tearful moment featuring apologies and accountability during the Oct. 17 episode. Whether or not their truce will last has yet to be seen as they are continuing their beef on social media as the episodes air live weekly.
The drama between the two started after Thornton dissed Dillard’s music video production. Thornton told Dillard that the shoot was unorganized and “low-budget.” Dillard shot back, telling Thornton, “Your mama’s low budget.” unfortunately, Dillard’s response hit deeper than she probably intended.
