As she navigates her second full-time season on “Real Housewives Of Potomac,” Keiarna Stewart seems to be embracing the chaos with grace and confidence. Juggling her thriving businesses, K. Stewart Beauty and Wellness and K. Stewart Skin Collection, Stewart is helping women enhance their beauty while also maintaining her own sense of peace. Despite being in a solid relationship with her partner, Greg Diggs, Stewart has found herself at odds with fellow cast members Wendy Osefo and Stacey Rusch. However, she remains unfazed by the drama, choosing to remain candid and straightforward. “There was no battery in my back needed for me to just speak the truth,” Stewart asserted.

Stewart’s friendship with newcomer Angel Massie has added another layer to the season’s unfolding drama. Initially confident that Massie would blend seamlessly with the cast, Stewart was surprised by the challenges Massie faced. “I was so excited for her to be a part of the group,” Stewart reflected. “It was very disappointing to see how much she struggled.” Despite the rocky start, Stewart is pleased with Massie’s progress, noting that she found her footing as the season progressed. “You see a different side of Angel as the season goes on, and I’m very proud of her,” Stewart hinted.

As the anticipation builds for the Season 10 reunion, Stewart is choosing not to dwell on grievances but rather welcomes the opportunity for open dialogue. “I’m going to let people address the issues that they may have with me at the reunion,” she explained. “I’m looking forward to hearing about what exactly was the real issue because they say it’s a ‘K’ thing, but I think it’s a ‘them’ thing.” Fortunately, Stewart finds support in Monique Samuels, who makes a much-anticipated return this season. “The moment she walked in, she was light,” Stewart expressed. “She’s a girl’s girl.”

During a visit to the Decider studio, Stewart shared insights about the current season, discussed her beauty secrets, and gave her thoughts on the possibility of Karen Huger coming back for Season 11.

DECIDER: Keiarna, your impact this season on “RHOP” is undeniable! Did you feel pressured to elevate your game, or was your growing comfort within the group a natural evolution?

KEIARNA STEWART: Yeah, it was totally just a natural progression. You learn people better and learn their behaviors, and you get to see things that you like and that you don’t like about them. There was no battery in my back needed for me to just speak the truth. That’s what you guys are seeing this season.

So, in last week’s episode, we saw Greg take your mom and Angel ring shopping for you! Did you have any idea about this errand?

You know what, I did not. Greg and I have been looking at rings and having the conversation for quite some time now, but I didn’t know that they were going to sneak in there and really do their own research together. I didn’t know that.

I know Greg was like, “I’ll bring K back later.” Did your mother know your taste and what rings you’d like?

[Laughs] Listen, my mother knows me very, very well. She did a good job. Kudos to her.

Speaking of your mother, the internet seems to be obsessed with her and her beauty. How is she dealing with her new fame?

I don’t know if she recognizes that she’s famous yet, but I’m here to tell her that she is [laughs]. “Hey, mom. You’re famous. We have the same face. Thank you for the copy and paste.”

Stacey might be the first Black woman in the state of Virginia to have a cannabis brand, but you were the first Black female MedSpa owner in Harbor East Baltimore! Can you give us an update on K. Stewart Beauty and Wellness?

We’re thriving. I don’t know if everyone’s actually is the first when they say that, but I actually have the first Black-owned MedSpa in Harbor East. The business is doing amazing. We’ve been so blessed. Since the show, I’ve gotten even more exposure. And so yeah, I’m excited for the next things that we’re about to do at K. Stewart Beauty and Wellness.

Since your “My life, my business, my condo, my man, my things” clap back to Stacey Rusch, fans have been CLAMORING to know your beauty routine. Can you share your secrets?

Absolutely. I follow the 80/20 rule and use the K. Stewart skin collection. Every girl needs it. It’s part of my everyday routine. Second, I do Botox every 90 days for my face. That keeps me together. I do microneedling, just to make sure that I’m always tight. However, I always say it really is the skincare that makes the difference. I take care of myself. I do a little touch up there, a little tweak there, all at K. Stewart Beauty and Wellness. That’s how you stay fabulous forever.

Which of the RHOP ladies have been the most supportive of your business?

I’m going to give it to all the ladies. Karen Huger is one of my favorite clients. She has come in several times. Wendy [Osefo] has been to the MedSpa. Both Tia [Glover] and Angel have dropped by for services. So many of them have supported me and my business.

You seemed to hit it off with Monique Samuels, who returned to the group this year. What were your first impressions of her?

A breath of fresh air. The moment she walked in, she was light. She was airy. She was real. She was vulnerable. She knew who I was. She was like: You’re from Baltimore; I’m from Baltimore. I’m like, “oh, this is my kind of girl.” She’s a girl’s girl. I instantly loved Mo’Nique and her energy.

What does she bring to the group besides being someone to keep Gizelle in check?

She brings balance to the group. She’s very unbiased. She’s very been there, done that. She knows the game, she knows who’s playing, and she’s just very true to herself. She influences other people to just be a little bit more honest and just says, “hey, just own your shit.”

I think because you hit it off with Monique, you wanted to try to get the bottom of this whole Stacey/Chris Samuels mess. Why did you take it upon yourself to try to find answers?

Actually, I didn’t take it upon myself to find the answers. The answers just actually fell into my lap. People think I wanted to do a deep dive on it, and I did not . The universe gave me a bone, and it got a little shaky. I delivered it the best way I could, but I didn’t go down a rabbit hole or anything. That’s the misconception about that scenario.

I had to bring the bone back to the group to share with them. Monique had such positive energy. The fact that Stacy would say something so negative about Monique after she had shared and was so vulnerable with all of us … it was just totally against the girl code.

Wendy named you as a potential suspect as to who told Chris Samuels about what Monique said about him. What’s your response to that?

I think Wendy and I both know that I have no relationship with Chris Samuels. I really didn’t have a dog in that fight. The information came to me and I shared it.

I am feeling for Angel this season. Is it difficult to watch your friend of so many years struggle within this group?

Oh, my God, I hate it. I hate that for Angel because I was so excited for her to be a part of the group. I was like, “she’s gonna hit it off with the girls! They’re going to love her.” [Laughs] I love Angel; she’s freaking fabulous. She has all the things I think that the world wants to see. I really thought that she was going to find some good friendships in the group. It was very disappointing to see how much she struggled this season.

If she were to come back for another season, what advice would you give her?

The advice I would give her is to tell people how she feels from the jump. Let it rip from the beginning. I feel like Angel was just doing a lot of observation when the ladies were kinda going hard on her. She needed to react in the moment. The good news is that she eventually learns her way. You see a different side of Angel as the season goes on, and I’m very proud of her.

Angel is hosting a trip to Colorado later this season. What can you tease about that trip?

She gave us big Colorado energy, honey. She does her “big mama” thing in Colorado, and I’m really excited for the world to see it.

I have to ask you about the return of Karen Huger later this season. Are you excited to watch her sit-down with Andy?

Oh, yes. I am very excited to watch her sit-down with Andy. Just from the tidbit I’ve seen in the trailer, I think it’s going to be really good.

Would you welcome her back for Season 11?

Who doesn’t want that? Yeah, it’s always open arms for Karen. I love her.

We’ve got the reunion coming up… what issues are you looking forward to addressing and with whom?

Actually, I’m not addressing issues. I’m going to let people address the issues that they may have with me at the reunion. I’m looking forward to hearing about what exactly was the real issue, because they say it’s a “K” thing, but I think it’s a “them” thing. So, we shall see.

A couple seasons ago, Nicki Minaj hosted a section of the RHOP reunion. If you could pick any other celebrity to host with Andy, who would it be and why?

Oh, I love Nicki Minaj and she did a really good job. I want to say Cardi B! [Laughs] There was Nicki, now there’s Cardi. I would love to hear Cardi share what she thinks of what the ladies have going on.
