- Candiace Dillard trained Chris Bassett for intimate scenes in Hush.
- Dillard describes the experience as funny.
- Dillard plays Syleena Gibson in the eight-episode drama series.
Chris Bassett, the spouse of Candiace Dillard, was pleasantly accommodating of the “Real Housewives of Potomac” star’s racy spicy scenes for ALLBLK’s scripted television drama “Hush.”
“It’s hilarious. I felt like I had like 500,000 cousins who were like, “Ooh, I’m tellin’ your dude, girl!” after I shared the trailer on Instagram. Dillard, 36, describes the experience as funny.
“Oh my God, does Chris realize that this is happening?” everyone exclaimed. Yes, it’s kind of like that,” she continues.
“It’s only acting. I’m playing. Every day, hundreds of performers perform intimate scenes for television and movies. It’s OK.”
In “Hush,” a top marital and s** therapist, TV celebrity, and best-selling author “finds herself enmeshed in a web of deceit, s**, and murder that could cost her everything,” according to an AMC press release.
Dillard plays Syleena Gibson in the eight-episode drama series. She is described as “a trophy wife who, despite the risks, keeps her marriage to her high-powered attorney [husband] Terrell Gibson (Lanre Idewu) hot by [fulfilling] his dreams, alone and with others.
The Bravolebrity claims that because she has been performing for more than ten years, sensual material was “inevitable” and that her husband had plenty of time to mentally prepare himself, keeping the couple out of any disputes.
Chris was incredibly considerate. Since I’ve been acting for 15 years, we’ve previously discussed how we got here, she says.
It was therefore inevitable that I would reach a stage where it would be appropriate for me to, say, play a character who is intimate with a partner.
Bassett, 44, a successful restaurant owner and chef in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region, supports Dillard’s controversial performances but doesn’t necessarily want to witness them.
He undoubtedly said, ‘I love you and support you, but I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it.’ The former pageant queen, whose August 2018 wedding to Bassett was shown in Season 3 of “Potomac,” says they “sort of left it there.”
Did you want to read the script, I questioned him. And he responded, “No, I’m fine. I’m fine, and I trust you.”
Dillard acknowledges that she doesn’t share the love of threesomes that her “Hush” character does in other passages of her interview with “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
“I’ve laid in a bed before, and I’ve kissed my co-stars before. However, I had to imitate establishing relationships with other people like Syleena, so that was a lot for me,” she claims. Nevertheless, it was liberating.
The actress makes fun of the possibility of interviewing “RHOP” co-star Mia Thornton, Thornton’s husband Gordon “G” Thornton, and new “friend of the cast” Jacqueline Blake for “Hush” if it receives a second season renewal.
The group has been accused of engaging in polyamorous bedroom play, although they have refuted these claims.
However, Mia, 38, and Blake, both 38, have admitted to once having slept with a man other than Gordon. Mia has revealed that occasionally, she and her spouse engage in extramarital sex.
Dillard admits, “I didn’t think about that.” Actually, I could have discussed this with the Gordons and/or Jacqueline and Mia. But maybe in Season 2, when we’re delving deeper into these individuals, I’d be happy to investigate real-life experience with the [Thorntons] from a distance.
