The entire Real Housewives multiverse is filled with exaggerated feuds between castmates. Usually the beefs remain within the Bravo network family. However, thanks to “Lace It” rapper Eminem’s trademark dispute filing in February againstPotomac branch members Giselle Bryant and Robyn Dixon, he’s been reluctantly introduced to the stars’ feisty nature.
Eminem is fighting to block the duo’s protection over their podcast name, Reasonably Shady. Now the legal battle has escalated from a simple intellectual property mix-up to a full-on protective order request. Bryant and Dixon’s lawyer, Andrea Evans, has responded to Eminem’s legal maneuver via a statement in People.
“It seems obvious to us that if you file a lawsuit, you should be made available to be deposed,” wrote Evans. “[We’d] like to question Mathers at least about his use of the expressions Slim Shady and Shady. It’s unclear to us that Mathers can be the owner of the trademarks and file this suit against our clients, but he will not make himself available to be deposed.”
As a response to the blockage in October, the pair’s legal team requested that Eminem make himself available for questioning to explain why he felt the Reasonably Shady podcast could be seen as an extension of his Shady enterprise. Eminem reportedly declined, stating it would become “unduly burdensome,” suggesting others, including his manager, Paul Rosenberg, speak on his behalf.
Bryant and Dixon’s representatives weren’t okay with this alternative. The case is moving forward, and thus the saga continues.
For decades, rapper Eminem has been known for having beef with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. However, this week his beef isn’t with another rapper, but Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon regarding the name of their podcast, which is called “Reasonably Shady.”
The trademark dispute began last year following the launch of the podcast in 2021. The two filed a trademark request for their name in 2022 (although it is unclear what the status of that application is). However, Eminem’s lawyers filed to block the trademark, stating that it would potentially cause confusion between the RHOP and Eminem brands. Eminem owns the trademark for “Shady” to use on merchandise.
In March, Bryant and Dixon told Page Six that they “deny any likelihood of confusion between Mather’s trademarks and their Reasonably Shady mark,” adding that they “are prepared to defend any allegations against them regarding their intellectual property.”
The ongoing fight led to Dixon and Bryant’s lawyers requesting that Eminem appear and sit for a disposition in court regarding the trademark dispute. However, on December 15, Em’s legal team filed paperwork requesting the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to grant him a protective order from having to appear in person for the legal proceedings.
In this type of case, a protective order is simply obtained so that Em would not have to physically appear in court (it is not a physical restraining order like in criminal cases). Calling the possible request for Em to appear in court “unduly burdensome,” Em’s lawyers stated that the artist has a “limited knowledge of the subjects at issue,” arguing that his legal team members have “superior knowledge of said issues.” (Translation: Eminem may be one of the best lyricists of all time, but he probably would have little to nothing to add in trademark law court.)
Either way, it appears that if Bryant and Dixon don’t honor Em’s request to change the name of their podcast, it will likely be up to a civil court to answer the question Will the real Shady please stand up?

Nicki Minaj may be working on a new album and a documentary about her career, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have time for some good, old-fashioned trash reality TV. By which I mean Andy Cohen has asked her to host the upcoming Real Housewives Of Potomac reunion special — according to a shared screenshot of her text conversation with the show’s publicist — an invitation she enthusiastically accepted.
She made the announcement in her usual fashion, by posting to her Instagram Story, then sharing a screenshot with her Twitter followers. “Who tf is ready?” she tweeted. On Instagram, she wrote, “Don’t move! Everyone binge-watch all the episodes cuz we finna get into some thangz hunty.” She also promised that “My questions will be well thought out, too. Mixed with funny & epic, of course.”
But, as is often the case, she had to include a quick disclaimer: “And Barbz, plz don’t send me a million comments about the album & doc chile just lemme have my moment.” She did toss her ravenous fans a bone, though, adding, “We almost there. Promise. Not lying this time. Love you.”
