Robyn Dixon Says She Was Fired from 'The Real Housewives of Potomac'

Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac will see only one of the "Green-Eyed Bandits" return.

On Monday, OG cast member Robyn Dixon announced her departure from the franchise. Robyn revealed on her Reasonably Shady podcast that she was not invited back for the upcoming season, confirming she was fired.

"I will not be returning to season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac," said Robyn. "The network did not invite me back. I was fired, for lack of better words."

The 45-year-old reality TV star, who has been a fixture on RHOP since its debut season in 2016, shared, "I had a very long run on the show," Robyn expressed, her voice filled with emotion. "I just really appreciate the time and the opportunity that I had on the show."

Despite the circumstances of her exit, Robyn has gratitude towards Bravo, Truly Original, and the production team for the platform they provided her to share her life with viewers. She also thanked the fans for their support throughout her tenure on the show.

During her stint on RHOP, the Embellished owner experienced both peaks and valleys, with numerous whispers circulating about her husband, Juan Diixon, potentially being unfaithful.

White attending BravoCon 2023, Robyn, and castmate Gizelle Bryant talked with ET's Brice Sander and spilled the tea on the latest season which featured tears, fights and more drama between Robyn and Juan. 

Robyn and Juan were married from 2005 to 2012 but separated due to cheating and what she said at the time was an unhealthy relationship. Despite being divorced, the pair still lived together and co-parented their children, ultimately leading rumors spread that the two were rekindling their romance. In 2019, Robyn and Juan announced they were once again engaged and they tied the knot for the second time in 2022. 

When asked how the new marriage was going and whether Juan had been faithful, Robyn told ET that, to the best of her knowledge, they were happily married and sans infidelity. 

"As far as I know," Robyn said. "He could be doing something right now and I don't know." 

"I'm going to say 'no,'" replied Bryant, when asked if Juan has been faithful. 

"Wait, no?" Robyn replied to her castmate. 

"I'm going to say no, he's not cheating," Gizelle clarified to the relief of her friend. 

"Listen, nobody knows what their partner is doing when they are not around," Robyn said. "I think people are a little delusional to think that anything in life is perfect but I will say that there is nothing that I am aware of." 

During the season 8 premiere of The Real Housewives of Potomac, the Housewives were met with a shocking revelation after a woman came forward with a hotel room receipt signed by Juan. 

The woman says she came to town to see Juan specifically and that's why he paid for the room for them, but he has maintained that he was just helping out someone who had lost her wallet. 

Faced with what she believed would be a season of adversity, Robyn told ET she believes she did the best she could to preserve herself and her relationship while the cameras were rolling. 

"I believe I handled myself as true to myself as I could," Robyn said. "I walked into the situation knowing that all eyes were going to be on me, all the attention was going to be on me and I was open to that." 

"I think I handled myself very well, as best as I could," she shared.

On top of the rumors that Juan had potentially cheated on Robyn once again, the couple was facing heightened scrutiny after Juan was fired from his job as the head coach for Coppin State University's men's basketball team. 

According to CBS Sports, the last of Juan's six-season tenure was "marred" by a lawsuit filed against the school alleging that an assistant coach on Juan's staff, Lucian Brownlee, sexually assaulted and blackmailed a former player by tricking him into sending nude photos of himself, as reported by The Baltimore Sun. In July, Juan and Coppin State University were both dismissed from the lawsuit, according to The Baltimore Banner. 

As for what Robyn thinks is the biggest misconception out there about her husband, she addressed fans' concerns about their marriage and said that she does trust Juan and the strength of their relationship. 

"I think people don't really realize that we've been together since we were 17 years old, we're best friends, our families are so intertwined," she told ET. "We have an extremely strong relationship that will, you know, over the course of time will go through ups and downs. The good, the bad, the ugly." 

"For us, it's about our family and preserving our family and really being in it for the long haul," Robyn added. 

Robyn's departure follows Candiace Dillard Bassett's announcement of her exit from RHOP last week.
