Things between Eminem and Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon appear to be getting real shady.
The 53-year-old rapper has accused Bryant, 55, and Dixon, 46, of harassing him amid their legal back-and-forth due to the name of the reality TV stars’ Reasonably Shady podcast.
In February 2023, Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) filed an opposition against the duo’s trademark application for the name of their podcast because he felt it could damage his brand and potentially cause “confusion” for those who know him by his Slim Shady moniker.
According to a Page Six report published Wednesday, November 26, Bryant and Dixon filed new documents last month explaining that the musician has been “very difficult” to get a hold of when it comes to scheduling a deposition.

While all parties reportedly agreed to October 29, Bryant and Dixon suggested a start time of 11 a.m., but Eminem allegedly wasn’t available until 2 p.m.
“Getting [him] to commit time to a deposition is very difficult, and we suggest that you take the opportunity when you can get him,” Eminem’s attorney wrote to Bryant and Dixon’s attorney in an email, per Page Six.
After going back and forth, the Housewives stars accused the Grammy Award winner of implying that they “should be grateful to depose [him] when he is available.”
According to Page Six, Eminem responded by arguing that their “refusal to cooperate” and “insistence [on] filing a motion over a three-hour start-time difference” proves that their “pursuit of [his] deposition is designed to harass.”
Bryant and Dixon launched their podcast in May 2021. On it, they discuss dating, relationships, motherhood and more.
Eminem released his hit single “The Real Slim Shady” (off his third studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP) in 2000. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance.
