Just because Gizelle Bryant declared Mauricio Umansky as being “off limits” to the entire The Real Housewives of Potomac cast (herself included), that didn’t mean she wasn’t attracted to him.

On The Real Housewives of Potomac After Show, Gizelle didn’t mince words about how far she would go with Mauricio either, on the heels of his Aspen rendezvous with the RHOP ladies during Season 10, Episode 15. The only person holding Gizelle back? The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG Kyle Richards, aka Mauricio’s estranged wife.

“If Mauricio wasn’t connected to Kyle, I would’ve already had sex with Mauricio,” Gizelle boldly stated. “I would have definitely pounced on him. However, he gets the panties, for sure.”

Why Gizelle Bryant blocked Ashley Darby from pursuing Mauricio Umansky

Regardless, Gizelle denied being “jealous” that Ashley Darby was flirting with Mauricio at Kemo Sabe in Aspen. She did, however, “100 percent” own up to squashing any potential love connection between the two.

Though Gizelle claimed that Ashley told her Mauricio was “not her type” anyway (which she did not believe), she had some bigger worries.

“Everything I could think of in that moment was I don’t want a Beverly Hills-Potomac showdown,” Gizelle explained on the RHOP After Show. “I don’t want it. Those girls on Beverly Hills would be pissed. … I don’t want Erika Jayne on my phone. I don’t want Dorit [Kemsley] on my phone. None of them.”

She continued, “I’m a girls’ girl… Like, me and Kyle aren’t friends like that at all, but I don’t think any ex-husband or husband from the Housewives… I think they’re all off limits.”

After accusing Ashley’s “wingwoman,” Stacey Rusch, of being the castmate who “really wanted Mauricio,” Gizelle conceded, “He is beautiful. And he’s a good time.”

Inside Gizelle Bryant and Mauricio Umansky’s meetup on RHOP

During Angel Massie’s disastrous Colorado trip, the ladies had taken a private jet to Aspen for the day and naturally had to stop by “celeb hotspot” Kemo Sabe, which RHOBH viewers know is Kyle’s favorite hat store. Because Mauricio was also in town for daughter Alexia Umansky’s bachelorette weekend, he briefly visited Gizelle and the rest of the ladies in the store’s rooftop “VVIP” area.

Echoing her After Show comments, Gizelle remarked in a confessional, “Mauricio is married to — I think they’re still married — to Kyle Richards, who is a Beverly Hills Housewife. Mauricio would definitely be somebody that I spent some quality time with — horizontal. It’s just the Beverly Hills Kyle of it all. And I just don’t want any Beverly Hills-Potomac drama.”

When Gizelle clocked that Ashley appeared to have her sights set on Mauricio, she stepped in and told her that he was “off limits to all of us.”

Despite her warnings, Ashley and Stacey followed Mauricio toward the exit. Gizelle didn’t miss a trick, though, and showed up to intervene once again.

“Mauricio, we’re going to let you go, because these ladies right here are a hot mess,” Gizelle told him.

Once Mau had officially left the building, Gizelle doubled down on advising Ashley not to pursue the RHOBH husband.

“You know, we’re in Kyle’s world; she’s in our world,” Gizelle elaborated, to which Ashley shot back, “I feel like enough time has passed.” (Kyle and Mauricio had announced their separation a bit less than two years earlier, at that point.)

Gizelle’s blunt response? “I don’t.”

Deals are struck, truths hit hard, and danger closes in across Port Charles.

The General Hospital spoilers for Wednesday, January 21, 2026, focus on Tracy making Jason an offer while Lucas delivers devastating news.

Key Takeaways

• Tracy makes a bold offer to Jason that could change everything
• Lucas delivers devastating news
• Laura, Joss, and Nina face mounting pressure

If Tracy (Jane Elliot) makes Jason (Steve Burton) an offer, as the weekly spoilers suggest, let’s hope that it has something to do with Drew (Cameron Mathison). Because we all know what a thorn that guy has been in the side of the Quartermaines. And Tracy may finally want to do something about him.

Drew has manipulated both Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Michael’s son. Wiley (Viron Weaver). There was that whole Quartermaine crypt disaster. He recently bribed the moving company and commandeered Tracy and the Quartermaines’ personal belongings and mementos. And he callously walked away from Ned (Wally Kurth) as he had a heart attack.

If anybody can deal with him, Tracy knows that Jason can. Will Tracy ask Jason to get those boxes back from Drew by hook or by crook? If not, what does she want him to do — something more serious? Last time that Jason dealt with something serious, he had to disappear Dalton’s dead body.

An unexpected conversation happens between Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). It involves Nina advising Kai, who might finally let someone other than the Ashford family know he hates Drew. Why would he need advice from the Crimson owner?

After rushing into action on Tuesday, Lucas (Van Hansis) delivers devastating news on Wednesday. This could have something to do with Willow injecting Drew while home alone with him while they celebrated her not guilty verdict.

Meanwhile, a stressed-out Laura (Genie Francis) is under Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) thumb and has to answer to Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) of all people. The only legit way of getting out of this mess is to go to the police, which will mean trouble for her and Sonny (Maurice Benard). On Wednesday, she is alarmed. What does she have to deal with now?

Finally, Brennan (Chris McKenna) briefs Joss (Eden McCoy). The question is how much he reveals to the rookie WSB agent. His boss — Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) — is in town. And he told Jack that they’ve lost Anna (Finola), even though he knew exactly where Anna was. Will this briefing include new orders for Joss?
