The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 episode 4 featured the cast on their trip to Lake Norman, North Carolina. The segment saw several cast members on a boat where they discussed their lives. Keiarna spoke about her and Ashley's dynamics after season 8's altercation between Keiarna and Deborah, while Mia spoke about her dynamics with Gordon.
Ashley asked Mia about a picture she posted on Instagram on Mother's Day which included her children, Gordon, and her boyfriend, Inc. While discussing the dynamics they share, Mia brought up instances when Gordon was "manic."
Fans of the Bravo show reacted to the conversation online and were upset with Mia for talking about Gordon's mental health issues. One person wrote on X:
"There is something so revolting about Mia. Her airing Gordon's health specifics on national TV is contemptuous"
"Mia always makes negative remarks about Gordon & that he got them in financial trouble. She was spending the money & accepted expensive gifts all those years & saying he was greatest husband & father," a fan commented.
"I don't like Mia using Gordon's mental illness to delegitimize his anger about you being married to him and flaunting a boyfriend," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac chimed in on Mia dating Inc while still being married to Gordon:
"Mia KNOW she dead a** wrong. She pimping Gordon out like sh*t. If he already have mental problems why are you making the dynamic even more complicated by bringing in another man when you still technically married," a person wrote.
"Mia is a LIAR!!! There’s nothing more out of her mouth I will believe. Between when she met Inc and when Gordon was grooming her, when did she have her first child?! Is there even proof she was married to his dad?" a fan commented.
"This Mia, Gordon, Ink situation is so terribly disturbing. To each his own, but in my opinion, it's humiliating and emasculating toward Gordon no matter what his condition is," a tweet read.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 further said:
"Mia was cheating with ink while she was with Gordon too she is saying it was after her and Gordon separated but I don’t believe that a BB d if it was they reconnected again real quick," a person wrote.
"I’m no Mia Stan but I don’t feel bad for Gordon. He cheated on his wife with Mia now that karma is catching up. The PLT you left her for now is giving you the blues," a fan commented.
