A key figure in The Real Housewives of Potomac history is returning for Season 10.

Monique Samuels, who joined the show in Season 2 and starred through Season 5, will be returning to the show for its landmark 10th season. According to People magazine, Samuels is returning to the show in a Friend capacity as the Bravo series marks a decade on air.

Monique Samuels’ ‘RHOP’ history

Samuels had a polarizing and controversial stint on the show, with legions of dedicated fans as well as critics. She notably had clashes with Gizelle Bryant and Candiace Dillard Bassett, and exited the show after her fallout with the latter resulted in a physical altercation between the two, which is one of the most-talked-about moments in Bravo history. Though Dillard Bassett no longer wanted to film with Samuels, the latter has maintained that she left the show on her own accord.
