The Bravolebs filmed [season 3 of RHUGT](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/02/27/see-the-jaw-dropping-trailer-for-season-3-of-the-real-housewives-ultimate-girls-trip/) after enduring a difficult and drama filled season of *RHOP* months prior that left their once strong friendship shattered to pieces. It's safe to say Canidace wasn't excited going into filming season 3 of *RHUGT* with Gizelle. In fact, the singer says it she went to hell and back while filming the *Real Housewives* spinoff show last summer. ***“I’m around all these new girls. The one girl that I know really well is a demon, so, like, who are my friends? I felt just alone,”*** Candiace teases on *[Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea](https://pagesix.com/2023/03/24/candiace-dillard-on-relationship-with-demon-gizelle-bryant/)* podcast, noting that she had ***“bad anxiety”*** about traveling across the world to Phuket, Thailand. The 37-year-old admitted that she was nervous about opening up to her fellow* RHUGT *co-stars, which included [Alexia Nepola](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-miami/alexia-echevarria/), [Marysol Patton](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-miami/marysol-patton/), [Heather Gay](https://allabouttrh.com/category/real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city/heather-gay/), [Whitney Rose](https://allabouttrh.com/category/real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city/whitney-rose/), [Leah McSweeney](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-york/leah-mcsweeney/), and [Porsha Williams](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta/porsha-williams/), about her issues with Gizelle. ***“It didn’t feel appropriate to talk about in front of strangers, so I was just in my room,”*** the singer explains. ***“My mom [Dorothy Dillard] was checking in on me every morning, like, ‘How are you doing? It’s gonna be fine, you’re gonna be great.’”***  Candiace was thankful she had her mom to confide in because she didn't think Gizelle would be able to be there for her during her time of distress. ***“You can’t expect humanity from just a rock,”*** she adds. ***“Rocks don’t have feelings.”*** Eventually, Candiace was able to bond with a majority of the *RHUGT *ladies and build particularly close friendship with *[Real Housewives of New York](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-york/)* alum Leah McSweeney. In the early days of the trip Candiace was dealing with feelings of isolation and was also still recovering from a heated fight with her husband [Chris Bassett](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/02/22/chris-bassett-calls-out-robyn-dixons-hotel-comment-from-part-one-of-rhop-season-7-reunion/)that happened just hours before she left for Thailand. ***“I was still dealing with a lot of feelings about Chris and I not speaking and having literally gotten into a huge argument five minutes before going to get in my car and go to the airport and not being able to resolve it,” ***she admits. She notes that she is now in a ***“great place”*** with Chris. The *RHOP* couple wed in 2018, with Candiace adding that she is still ***“obsessed”*** with her husband. ***“Then there are things happening in my family that I can’t talk about that were affecting me, too,” ***she teases. ***“And then hearing everybody else tell their personal stories and then talk about their families and what they had gone through, it was just a wave of emotion washing over me.”*** Notably, Chris and Candiace had a very difficult season of *RHOP* but the Housewife insists she's let go of any anger felt while filming the [RHOP season 7 reunion](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/02/07/andy-cohen-confronts-robyn-dixon-for-staying-silent-about-juans-infidelity-while-filming-season-7-of-rhop/). At the reunion, [the RHOP couple confronted Gizelle](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/01/17/gizelle-bryant-says-shes-not-holding-back-about-her-alleged-encounter-with-chris-bassett-at-upcoming-season-7-reunion/) amid her claims that Chris made her ***“completely uncomfortable”*** during a one on one conversation after the *RHOP *season 6 reunion. Both denied Gizelle's claims with Candiace in particularly going to bat to support her husband's character. ***“Both Chris and I … left the reunion feeling like we left everything on the couches. And I was really proud of Chris because I think he emoted well and I was happy that he finally got to speak on the stage where everybody’s eyes and ears are open,” ***she explains. ***“And we left everything there.”*** *RHOP *is expected to return for season 8 in late 2023 or early 2024. Season 3 of *RHUGT* is currently airing on Peacock. New episodes drop every Thursday. ## Thoughts on this all? Are you enjoying season 3 of RHUGT so far? Sound off below!
