Chris Bassett, known for his unwavering support of his wife, Candiace Dillard Bassett, has once again stepped up to defend her amidst controversy surrounding her recent comments.

Candiace sparked a heated debate when she expressed her apprehension about the prospect of having “light-skinned” babies. This statement raised eyebrows, especially considering her own husband’s appearance and their public discussions about starting a family on Real Housewives of Potomac.

In a show of solidarity, Chris Bassett called into the Way Up With Angela Yee radio show, where Candiace is currently a guest host, to address the criticism surrounding his wife’s remarks. He expressed confusion over the strong reaction to her comments and attempted to provide context to her statements.

Chris’s intervention highlights his ongoing support for Candiace, demonstrating his willingness to stand by her side through both the highs and lows of public scrutiny. As they navigate the complexities of fame and public perception, Chris remains a steadfast advocate for his wife, reinforcing their strong bond and partnership.

“I don’t know why everybody is so angry right now. My Twitter is blowing up,” Chris claimed.

“Candiace and I have had this conversation since, probably the day we met,” he continued. “People can have their preferences.”

During the phone call, Chris shared that he and Candiace have been joking about their skin color preferences for years. He noted that his wife is well aware of the fact that “she’s not getting dark-skinned babies.” Chris explained that it’s not “scientifically possible.”

According to Chris, there’s no reason for people to get worked up over Candiace’s comments. He said he has a hard time even understanding why people would be upset. He compared her comment about not wanting her kids to be a certain skin color to his desire for his kids to have “luscious thick hair.”

Chris pontificated, “I started going bald at eighteen. Is it bad for me to say that I want my kids to have hair?”
