The Real Housewives of Potomac season kicked off with the subject everyone’s been talking about. What’s the deal between Robyn Dixon and Juan Dixon? The couple remarried in 2022 but a scandal hit them less than a year later after Juan, a former basketball player, was allegedly spotted with a woman on two separate occasions: once at a laundromat and another time at a nail salon.
Juan Dixon’s nail salon and laundromat photos resurface
Photos of Juan attending a nail salon appointment with BreAnna Gross hit the internet in March. The pair were reportedly in a salon in Ellicott City, Maryland, and fans allege Dixon was the one who was receiving treatment while Gross accompanied him.
Breanna, who worked as the director of men’s basketball operations at Coppin State University, was also seen spending time with Juan at a laundromat one month earlier. She seemingly denied any romance between the pair at the time by posting a photo of herself and Juan holding laundry detergent with the caption: “Get a LIFE”.
Bravolebity expert Georgia Takounakis shared footage of Dixon and Gross doing their laundry:
Sunday’s episode saw the Bravo ladies still frustrated over last year’s debacle when a Canadian woman came forward with a hotel room receipt that Juan had signed. The situation took place during the pandemic but Robyn only addressed it during a 2023 Watch What Happens Live.
According to the reality star, 44, the mystery woman was flying into Maryland because she was dating a Baltimore Ravens athlete. But she allegedly lost her wallet in the casino and asked Juan to pay for her room, to which he agreed. Robyn claims her husband “felt sorry” for the woman and believes that they were never physical.
Robyn Dixon brand’s laundromat story as ‘straight lie’
The star is aware of Juan and BreAnna’s friendship as the latter have been co-workers for over three years, she tells Ashley Darby. As the Dixons have continued to tune out the negative speculation about their marriage, Robyn called the laundromat rumors “straight lies”.
“That’s the thing that’s really unfortunate, that people are out here putting out blatant lies when they say, ‘Oh they were hugged up putting stuff in the washing machine,” she explained in the premiere. “That didn’t happen. He’s not dumb enough to be anywhere in public being affectionate and physical with another woman.”
Ashley, however, criticized Juan for being inconsiderate of Robyn’s feelings as the laundromat situation looked suspicious, even if nothing more happened.
Gizelle Bryant added: “He’s not thinking, ‘How is this going to affect Robyn?’ He’s not thinking about you, saying, ‘You know what? This is bad optics.'”
Dixon responded that she will not force her husband to end his friendship.
RHOP fans ‘feel bad’ for Robyn’s marriage
Robyn’s response has divided Twitter as some believe she deserves better, while others who are convinced Juan has cheated multiple times, say she is being “delulu”, aka delusional. But both stars have straight up denied the claims of any infidelity.
“I feel bad for Robyn. I really dislike her but I truly feel for her. She loves him so much bc they’ve been together since high school,” a fan tweeted.
“Oh see this is sad. This is why I feel bad for Robyn because she’s been with this man since she was 16 and this sounds like a teenage girl talking. Please free her from Juan,” a second viewer added.
Another continued: “I wish she knew she didn’t have to stay in this relationship.”
One user is remaining neutral until they see the evidence: “You really can’t say something didn’t happen if you weren’t there or have a full video of the incident in question,” they said.
Some even suggested that the Dixon marriage is purely for theatrics despite Robyn’s previous denial: “When will y’all realize that Robyn and Juan have agreed to play this married role for the kids and a paycheck? These ppl are married roommates. Robyn has played y’all for years now,” a user predicted.
