"I don't have an NFL husband, I haven't been on TV, but for some reason [producers] thought I would be an amazing fit. And so I had to own who I was and say, if they invited me, then I'm supposed to be here. I feel that way about every room I'm invited into, and so as a result the only thing I can do is show up as my authentic self, and that's the only thing I can maintain."
"It was actually a really quick turnaround, so my mind and my heart didn't have time to catch up. But an opportunity comes your way and you think, why say no when you can say yes, at least try it? My thought process going into it was if I'm a good fit, it will be great. And if not, well it's something you tried, you can tick it off your bingo card."
Tia Glover joined Real Housewives of Potomac for its tenth season coming from a background in real estate and celebrity styling rather than television. Glover speaks with a British accent that contrasted with Maryland-based co-stars. Glover initially experienced imposter syndrome and even suspected the casting call was a scam, but accepted the fast turnaround opportunity. Producers believed she would be a strong fit despite lacking a traditional reality-TV profile. Glover prioritized showing up authentically in every room and found the cast and fans offered a warmer reception than she expected.
