“My first response once I noticed the publish was like, ‘Oh, my God, what’s happening? I hope she’s OK.’ After which I had a ‘wait a minute’ second, like, ‘Why is she saying all this on Instagram, like, why is she telling this to, you realize, a whole lot of 1000’s of strangers?’” Robyn Dixon completely informed Us Weekly forward of the Sunday, October 9, premiere. “I assumed it was odd to share that kind of knowledge so prematurely as a result of it positively triggered an emotional response in me and I’m like, ‘I couldn’t think about, like, why you’ll share this with on a platform like this?’ I positively had my ideas.”

Mia made headlines in February when she wrote through Instagram that one week prior, she acquired a name that she wanted to go to Johns Hopkins Most cancers Heart ASAP for additional testing. “I’ve been out and in of visits to specialists daily and the storm will not be over, however this expertise is altering me. I’m working with an exceptional workforce of physicians, and I recognize the outpouring of help. I’ve not been identified as but so please hold me in prayer,” she wrote on the time.
Throughout Sunday’s episode, Gizelle Bryant wasted no time questioning Mia’s publish.
“I don’t assume Mia was anticipating to be known as out the way in which that she was,” Robyn continued. “I feel anybody, naturally, would in all probability go into protection mode and say like, ‘Oh my gosh, how might you? I used to be sick. I wasn’t feeling effectively and the way might you flip this into one thing that it’s not.’ And actually be shocked by folks’s response — when Mia in all probability thought she was being honest about no matter she was going by. I feel for her to listen to like, ‘No, that is truly what it seemed like and that is what we thought, and these are the issues we thought of it’ — it didn’t really feel good to her. However I feel she rapidly realized on this group; we don’t maintain our tongue. We let you know our ideas and emotions and our opinions and when one thing doesn’t appear proper, we let you realize. And so it’s like, ‘Would you somewhat somebody let you know to your face, that is what it seemed like or would you somewhat folks simply speak behind your again?’”

“And if there’s a state of affairs the place it’s one thing like most cancers — that’s to not be performed with. It’s not a joke or a recreation,” she informed Us. “So, in the event you don’t have most cancers, then you definitely certainly shouldn’t be telling the world that, and as Housewives, folks which are on this public platform, you must be liable for the issues that you just put on the market. And that’s form of how what I used to be saying to her like, ‘Look, you may’t simply be keen nilly with what you’re saying to the folks since you’re a Housewife and it is a platform, and you must simply be very good in regards to the issues that you just’re saying publicly.’”
