If you’ve been keeping up with The Real Housewives of Potomac, you know the drama never stops and why Stacey Rusch’s Choice to Mediate Is the Smartest Move on RHOP. But Stacey Rusch’s latest confession—admitting she’s been clueless about her finances for 15 years—had everyone, including Wendy, Karen, Gizelle, and Ashley, completely floored. While we’re all here for the juicy details, one thing Stacey got right is choosing mediation over a messy courtroom showdown.

Honestly, Stacey, we’re cheering for you—and here’s why:

1. Mediation Keeps the Drama Private

Court battles are messy, public, and exactly the kind of spectacle we love to watch but hate to live through. Stacey wisely opted for mediation, where the details stay off the record. That means no extra fuel for Gizelle to throw on the fire. If you’re in Stacey’s shoes, trust us—keeping it private is priceless.

2. It’s All About Solutions, Not Screaming

As much as we adore a dramatic clash of opinions, Stacey doesn’t need a courtroom judge poking into every aspect of her life. Mediation focuses on getting things done—minus the theatrics. It’s all about solutions, and let’s face it: Stacey needs solutions right now, not a drawn-out battle.

3. Save the Coins for Karen’s Champagne Room

Dragging your divorce into court isn’t just exhausting—it’s expensive. Mediation costs a fraction of a courtroom circus, and Stacey can use those savings for what really matters: keeping up with her luxe lifestyle and maybe a little retail therapy (she’s earned it).

4. Take Back Control

After years of letting someone else manage the finances, Stacey is finally taking the reins. Mediation empowers her to make decisions about her future instead of leaving it in the hands of a judge. That’s right, Stacey—step into your power, girl.

5. Because Who Has Time for Court Drama?

Court proceedings can drag on for months or even years, and Stacey has better things to do—like spilling tea with Wendy or attending Karen’s next lavish soirée. Mediation is faster, cleaner, and gets her where she wants to be: thriving and free.


Watch the conversation go down between Ashley and Darby at the 2:55 mark and on, while you enjoy all the extra spilled tea.
