The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 aired episode 15 this week on January 19, 2025. The segment saw Karen's husband meet up with Gordon as the two discussed the latter's relationship with Mia at length.

"Mia NO ONE BELIEVES YOU please stop YOU caused all of this just take ownership apologize and move on."
"What did this text prove but Gordon wants to see “his children” and you have a desire to have him praise you when your a horrible person," a fan commented.
"Ummm is this text to save you cause if it is ….it helps G more than you," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 hoped Mia wouldn't return to the show in the future:
"Hopefully Bravo thanks you for your services after the season is done. I'm tired of your lies and that tacky lapdog of yours, Jacqueline, ratcheting up the show and bringing it down to VH1/ Zeus levels. Both of ya'll can exit stage left and never return," a person wrote.
"I hope they don’t bring you back next season… You or your trashy friend," a fan commented.
"This proves G's point more than yours. I don't think this is serving the way you thought it would. Just go away!!" a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 further said:
"I don’t see how these receipts helped you in anyway. Regardless, Karen and Gizelle were going to look for any opportunity to attack you after what you said about Gizelles daughters and what Jacquline said about Karen’s drinking," a person wrote.
"I say this for most: we need something more from you and your story rather than you exploiting your legal husbands mental health issues and wearing fashion nova," a fan commented.

In one of the texts, Gordon told The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 cast member what happened at Ashley's event was "bullsh*t." He told her to ask the production whether he emphasized that Mia was a "great mother" while in conversation with Ray.
