 Robyn that’s y she was ready to fight and Juan was snapping at her on the phone.  ・・・ RHOP 🌸 The Real Housewives of Potomac’ cast member Robyn Dixon is admitting that husband Juan Dixon had a non physical affair with a woman while they were engaged — and that it’s one of the reasons their wedding was delayed. Last week, a woman came forward with receipts claiming she had an affair with Juan and that Robyn knew about it.  In the latest episode of Robyn and Gizelle Bryant’s ‘Reasonably Shady’ podcast, Robyn explained that the woman did contact her via Instagram DM and exposed Juan’s affair — and that it’s something they had to work through before they got married. Robyn explained that she knew going into season 7 that someone would eventually bring that particular affair up and was prepared to talk about it, but instead Karen brought up ANOTHER cheating allegation in Mexico that Robyn found ‘laughable.’ On Patreon Robyn claimed the woman booked a hotel but told Juan she did not bring h

PEOPLE DON’T NEED TO KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES,PLANS OR SINS- RENO OMOKRI.(PHOTOS).

He shared this photo today with the caption  " People don’t need to know your weaknesses, plans, or sins. Keep them secret. Those are things people can use against you when they turn against you. You can be friends today and fiends tomorrow. Don’t tell them what can be used to bring you down, or make you drown! There is a very thin line between love and hate, and an even leaner one between friendship and enmity. Even in heaven, former angels turned to formal demons. That is why you should not be an open book, even to your friends. When people know your weakness, they can become your sickness! Don’t be the eagle killed by an arrow made from its feathers. #RenosNuggets #FreeLeahSharibu". One more photo below.
