A lot happened in Bravo Land this past weekend. BravoCon took over Las Vegas, with a full lineup of stars, panels, fashion, and more. Also, the new season of Real Housewives of Potomac premiered. And as such, all that drama was fresh for the cast to comment on. And a lot happened in just the first episode.
Robyn Dixon’s relationship was under scrutiny, as news outlets reported on Juan Dixon’s movements with a female co-worker. Her castmates even sat her down for an intervention of sorts, during which Robyn continued to defend her husband in a nasal monotone. Well, without the infidelity clause, there’s hardly anything to get excited about in her situation is there?
Robyn says her marriage is inaccurately portrayed
And Robyn had an additional chance to respond during the Real Housewives of Potomac panel at BravoCon in Las Vegas.
“It’s been hard because I understand why we do the things that we do,” Robyn said. “Juan and I started dating when were 17. We’re not only best friends, [our] lives were very intertwined.”
She claimed that her “relationship is very different from what is captured,” on camera and that editing does not do it any justice.
But the couple chose to present a united front against all the rumors and speculations about Juan’s infidelity. And Robyn was tasked with offering explanations for all of his questionable sightings.
She explained, “It’s been hard for people not understanding the depth of our relationship. The show brought us together because of all the scrutiny. So we were forced to really have each other’s back.”
As much as Juan claimed that he “doesn’t care,” the couple isn’t so solid that the constant scrutiny doesn’t affect them. During the RHOP season premiere, Robyn stated that that her joy had been taken away.
And while the panel was in progress, Robyn added, “It’s the outside noise that really tears each other apart.”
Sadly, it seems that this marital strife will continue to play out as the RHOP season progresses. At least Robyn can count on her friends to pull her through.
Catch the Real Housewives of Potomac Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
