The Real Housewives of Potomac, or RHOP, star TJ Jones just exposed his ex-girlfriend, Stacey Rusch, claiming she paid him to act. But he blasted her for not paying him the rest of her promised money. Last week, Stacey dropped the bombshell in the reunion of Season 9 that she and TJ had split. The duo were the newbie pair that piqued viewers’ interest.
Stacey appeared on the show after getting divorced from her estranged husband, Theimo. Throughout the separation period, she connected with TJ and started a relationship with him. Calling their love life a wild ride, she remained silent even after being pressured to talk more about it. Is there any truth in TJ’s accusations against Stacey? How did she react to the situation?
RHOP: Stacey Blames “A Lot Of Pressure” For Her Breakup With TJ!
On the February 23 episode of RHOP on Bravo, Stacey Rusch finally re-updated fans and castmates on her personal life. While she revealed she is no longer related to her ex-husband, she also admitted taking herself away from TJ. As the ladies sitting on the couch laughed it off, she explained that the latter was the best person he had ever met.
However, throughout the relationship, Stacey eventually realized that she faced constant pressure from TJ. She mentioned that she broke up with him on vacation and started to do self-care only for now. She also noted that her daughter, Arabella, is also doing fine. Most fans weren’t surprised to see the breakup coming from the two, but they suspected the time of the announcement.
RHOP: Stacey Calls TJ A Liar After He Disrespects Her!
With the release of Part 3 of RHOP’s reunion on March 2, Andy Cohen had a video of the interaction between TJ, Eddie, and Greg. The co-stars heard Stacey’s heartbroken boyfriend accuse her of owing him a lot of money for acting as her love interest. He added that he wanted Stacey to pay the remaining balance.
Despite TJ calling Stacey out on the footage, she took a stand for herself. She claimed she didn’t owe him anything, not even a single penny. Stacey slammed him for spreading lies about her to defame her character. She even called the entire stunt very hurtful since she believed he was a “man of God.”
Stacey continued to defend herself, stating that TJ narrated a fabricated story. This not only shocked her co-stars, but they didn’t even support her because her statements didn’t align with her actions. The Bravo celeb even distrusted Eddie when he came up on the stage to explain what exactly TJ told him.
Stacey was firm on her stance, regardless of what the series says about her and TJ. Even when the host and others told her that the latter might soon expose the receipts, she didn’t show any regret. Acknowledging that TJ must have been hurt, she still threatened to call him with her legal representative and not otherwise. For the latest RHOP tea, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
