“Disgusting”: Gizelle Bryant receives backlash online after using homophobic slur on podcast

Gizelle Bryant from Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) found herself in hot water after her segment on the Reasonably Shady podcast went viral. In it, she used homophobic/gay slurs while discussing a Fox Nation documentary with her RHOP co-star and co-host Robyn Dixon. On their latest podcast episode on Monday, April 3, 2023, the co-hosts discussed Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax documentary. As she explained the premise of the documentary, Gizelle said that Smollett staged a hate crime, and added:“So they were supposed to put a noose around his neck, they were supposed to call him ‘f**got’ or something … gay empire boy or something.”Listeners heard Gizelle Bryant hesitate as she said the slurs and her choice of words also took Robyn by surprise. The latter was also heard making a sound that implied she knew her co-star had said something wrong.Needless to say, the usage of the slurs didn't sit well with the netizens and they slammed Gizelle on Twitter, even calling her &quot;disgusting.&quot;Elizabeth@Pequolina@MarTEAnisEddy Absolutely disgusting @GizelleBryant always putting her foot in her mouth.

These were the words that Jussie gave the trainers to do.”The documentary in question is a five-episode docuseries that aired on March 13, 2023. It was about Empire actor Jussie Smollett and his 2019 alleged attack where he claimed two racist and homophobic people verbally and physically assaulted him. A police investigation was conducted and Jussie was found guilty as cops discovered that he paid those people for the assault.Gizelle Bryant was earlier slammed for her “No Spanish” rule on RHUGTGizelle Bryant@GizelleBryantStart the two-week countdown!

In one of the episodes, she was seen telling co-stars Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton (from RHOM) about her “No Spanish” rule.On their trip to Thailand, Gizelle said that she has a &quot;no Spanish&quot; rule, to which Marysol said that they spoke &quot;Spanglish,&quot; a mixture of Spanish and English. The RHOP star repeated the same rule during the RHUGT season 3 cast dinner. To this, Alexia explained that they live in Miami and sometimes they don’t even realize they’re speaking the language.Joshua Joel@JDizzlyTRON“I HAVE A RULE, NO SPANISH” @GizelleBryant #RHUGT3 If that is not the most KAREN thing to say!

And so I was happy that I explained it to them.”Gizelle Bryant added:“I was getting PTSD because my kids do this to me. And they make fun of me. And it’s not nice. So that’s what I thought was happening. If you’re gonna throw shade at me just do it in English was my point. But I don’t ever want to take anything away from their culture, and who they are, and how they communicate with each other.”Fans took offense and slammed Gizelle on social media.In addition to Gizelle, Alexia, and Marysol, the reality TV show also stars Porsha Williams from RHOA, Leah McSweeney from RHONJ, and Heather Gay and Whitney Rose from RHOSLC.
