Appearing on The Real Housewives of Potomac, Dorothy Dillard is Candiace’s mother Dorothy Dillard, who has a pretty strong grip on her daughter’s life. She is Candiace’s number one supporter, counselor, therapist, but mostly the reason for her daughter’s success.
Let’s learn more about her through this Dorothy Dillard biography.
Meet Dorothy Dillard, Candiace Dorothy Dillard’s Therapist
Despite being a supportive mother, The Real Housewives of Potomac fans saw Dorothy push her daughter toward success until she became a signed artist. And here’s why Dorothy has always been a fan favorite.
However, some people don’t appreciate Dorothy because she often mentions that she owns the house that Candiace and her husband live in. Additionally, she constantly mentions that she paid for her daughter’s six-figure wedding to Chris Bassett.
Even at the wedding, Dorothy yelled at Candiace after she invited her half-brother to the wedding, and viewers didn’t like it. “This situation with your dad, his lies and deceit, is that what you bring to the wedding? Is that what you bring? Why are you going after his illegitimate children who were never a part of your life?”, Dorothy yelled.
But Candiace remained steadfast and stood up for her brother. She said, “If you want to be mad at my dad, be mad at my dad. But it’s not fair to be mad at someone who had no other choice.”
As for Candiace’s half-brother, he assured that what happened at the wedding will not affect his relationship with Candiace. He had a great time, enjoyed the wedding, and left without any hard feelings towards anyone.
But Candiace’s half-brother isn’t the only person Dorothy doesn’t like. She even despises Candiace’s husband, Chris. If you’ve watched RHOP, it’s no secret how much Dorothy loves to badmouth her son-in-law.

Dorothy was previously married to Walter, but they split before 2000 due to infidelity. According to Candiace, her father “had an affair” in college, while still in a relationship with Dorothy. And that “affair” resulted in the birth of a baby boy, aka her half-brother, Michael
Dorothy absolutely hates her ex-husband and Michael. “I think when she thinks about him, he reminds her of her pain,” Candiace shared.

Crystal graduated from Howard University in May 2018.
