Monique Samuels’ binder exposé during the season 5 reunion of The Real Housewives of Potomac will go down in history as one of the greatest moments in reality television. The last 10 minutes of part one of the reunion showed Samuels pulling out all of the receipts on her long-term nemesis Gizelle Bryant. 

Bryant sat stunned and stoic as Samuels pulled screenshots of text messages from Jamal Bryant and his alleged real girlfriend denying that his rekindled romance with Gizelle was true. Samuels brilliantly called the infamous philandering minister “Pastor Holy Whore” for using his preaching to bait his parishioners for his sexual desires.

Even Bravo honcho Andy Cohen noted that Samuels’ binder made it to the Bravo hall of fame museum. Now Samuels is expanding upon her own creation.

Months after the reunion aired and following Samuels’ exit from the show after four seasons, the Not For Lazy Moms podcast host is bringing her book to a show with more receipts in Bindertime Stories.


“I have a story to tell,” Samuels says in a teaser video. “About a woman armed with a binder who went viral and said ‘farewell.’ The plan was to have receipts, in order to back up the truth. People love to lie and gossip, but the binder holds actual proof.”

Samuels says she’ll have “Bindertime riddles,” which will allow viewers to determine if the “stories are fact or fiction.”

“The people have spoken, they’ve sent requests, I’ve seen every last demand,” Samuels continued.
