"Candiace Dillard Bassett is ready to talk. Wearing a poofy fur hat, the singer and reality star settles into the center booth at New York City hotspot L'incontro by Rocco, which chef Rocco Sacramone opened earlyjustfor our lunch. She's preparing for fallout from The Traitors just two days before her finalepisode aired Feb. 5, which calls for wine and comfort food. "You should be scared," she warns me. "Everyone should be waiting with bated breath.""
"On The Real Housewives of Potomac, Bassett, 39, earned a reputation as a quick-witted shade assassin, who could both read her co-stars for filth and show vulnerability by pulling out her infamous "cryangle." That caught The Traitors producers' attention. She was initially asked to join Peacock's reality-competition series before she announced her RHOP departure in March 2024. Not only was she newly pregnant with her now-15-month-old son Jett then, but she didn't think it was her vibe."
"In Season 4, Bassett was given the ultimate challenge: She was selected to play as a Traitor, alongside former Beverly Hills Housewife Lisa Rinna and Love Island USA alum Rob Rausch. In the game, she had to get strategic and tight-lipped to conceal her identity from the opposing Faithfuls, including fellow Housewives alumnae Dorinda Medley, Porsha Williams, and Caroline Stanbury."
