Mia Thornton on The Real Housewives of Potomac
The Jasmine Brand claims that Mia was added to the show after star Monique Samuels quit after season five in December 2020.
“Potomac needs to fill Monique’s role on the show,” the source revealed to The Jasmine Brand. “Before Monique quit, production was anticipating the aftermath of Monique and Candiace – will they reconcile? Will the cast remain divided? Now that she’s gone, they’ll need to explore new people.”

Monique Samuels announced that she was quitting the franchise during an Instagram Live. Season five showed Monique in a rift between most of the ladies, including her friend, Candiace Dillard. Monique first joined the series during season 2, which aired in 2017.
While Monique is gone, Mia looks like she is not going to let herself back down as a newbie in the show when it comes to drama. In the season six trailer, the new wife is seen throwing a whole lot of salad at another wife, Candiace Dillard. Candiace also threw more food back at Mia after that.
Look forward to the new season of The Real Housewives of Potomac which is set to premiere on July 11, 8 pm ET on Bravo TV.
