Chris has been the liaison between Candiace and producers, helping to ensure she attends recording sessions on time and meets deadlines for her music video visuals. Though Candiace is grateful for Chris’ help, others are skeptical.

He caught a lot of flack from Candiace’s co-stars who complain that they feel Chris is riding Candiace’s coattails. Things were further escalated but Candiace’s mom Dorothy, who alleged that Chris quit his job after he married Candiace to become a “house husband.” Both Candiace and Chris deny such, and Chris had a mouthful to say to the ladies during part 3 of The Real Housewives of Potomac reunion special.
