Season nine of The Real Housewives of Potomac is finally over, and fans now only have the reunion to look forward to. We’ve been treated to the reunion looks, and it has also been revealed who showed up and who didn’t. In addition to Karen Huger not being there in person, it seems Thomas Anthony “TJ” Jones was also not in attendance with the rest of the significant others from the cast.

Now, a new report is exposing the alleged bombshell secret TJ shared about him and Stacey Rusch at the reunion.

As everyone knows, Stacey is going through a divorce, and TJ has been in multiple episodes as he’s her boyfriend/best friend. Because so much has been said about the status of their relationship, most fans assumed he would be at the reunion. 

Recently, the blogger Kempire took to his social media to share some information he had received about the reunion and why exactly viewers shouldn’t expect to see TJ sitting behind Stacey. According to Kempire, TJ allegedly didn’t show up because Stacey failed to keep up with the actor’s payments.

If the report is true, Stacey has allegedly been paying him to appear on the show and play the role of her boyfriend. It seems he had a conversation with Eddie Osefo and told him that Stacey had missed multiple payments, which is why he was a no-show. 

Kempire stated, “I have some tea to spill in regards to what exactly did Eddie spill at the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion.”

He went on, “So, by now, you’ve seen the trailer for the RHOP reunion, and a lot of us believe the reunion looks far better than what the season offered. But why exactly wasn’t TJ at the reunion? They don’t tell you in the reunion trailer what exactly TJ tells Eddie Osefo. All you see is the ladies saying bring Eddie out. Bring Eddie out.”

Kempire then revealed what allegedly happened at the RHOP reunion. He said, “According to some sources, some very reliable sources, Stacey allegedly is accused by TJ to Eddie that the reason why he didn’t come to the reunion was because she was two months allegedly, or two payments, behind on paying him.”

He then added, “So allegedly, she paid TJ to play her boyfriend this season.”

As Kempire also shared in his video, if this is true, it won’t be a shocker to fans. Their relationship has been called out for being inauthentic, and TJ never seemed to have any real interest in Stacey. This also tracks because, when talking about the RHOP reunion, Andy Cohen teased a bombshell that came from someone you wouldn’t expect. 

Fans can watch part one of the RHOP reunion on February 16.
