Monique SamuelsI just wanted to maintain peace and offer my apology to Gizelle and Sherman. She clearly wanted to remain mad so it was like talking to a brick wall. I was glad that Chris came to the rescue because I was starting to get irritated. I just didn’t want that type of stress while being pregnant. Chris is super protective of me since we had a miscarriage prior and even almost lost the pregnancy this time! 

Candiace Dillard and Chris Bassett Exchange Wedding Vows

BravoTV.com: Were you expecting to get an apology from Ashley at the wedding?

MS: Like I stated the night of the wedding, I wasn’t thinking about Ashley. I was at the wedding to celebrate Candiace and Chris. I wasn’t expecting an apology from Ashley. This wasn’t the time nor the place for that. 

BravoTV.com: How did you feel when Gizelle came up to you during the reception and officially thanked and accepted your apology?

MS: When Gizelle later came to accept my apology, I thought it was very random since she wasn’t trying to hear it at first. I know she had a lot to drink so maybe her response was a bit delayed.
