‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ get political, but not on show

The cast members of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” promise to pack lots of drama into their first season — but politics won’t play a part in the reality show’s feuds and fracases.

“We’re so close to D.C., but none of us have any political ties. So of course we have our political opinions, and we may express them, but it’s nothing like the focus of the show,” says Robyn Dixon, a publicist and ex-wife of former Washington Wizards player Juan Dixon. ITK caught up with the Bravo cast Sunday at a swanky, packed premiere party at Sax in downtown Washington.

“Pro-Hillary!” Ashley Darby, a restaurateur and former Miss District of Columbia, exclaimed as the rest of the six women — including philanthropist Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Potomac “grand dame” Karen Huger, model Katie Rost and socialite Gizelle Bryant — nodded and cheered in agreement.

“Yes — we want a woman in the White House, honey!” Darby added. The ritzy Maryland enclave is less than 15 miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

But it’s another political VIP who apparently has an open invite to join the exclusive circle of the “Real Housewives of Potomac.”

“I would love a Michelle Obama [cameo],” says Dixon. “If she wants to be the seventh housewife, we will sacrifice.”

“She’s signed up!” another cast member chimed in.

Dixon says Washingtonians might be surprised to see how much fun the housewives have: “I think when people think of Washington, it is known for being, you know, a stuffy town and people who have to uphold a certain image. While we do have images to uphold, we also are human beings. We enjoy life and letting our hair down.”
