Career

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Background of the series

The Real Housewives of Potomac premiered on January 17, 2016, on Bravo as the eighth installment of The Real Housewives franchise. The series focuses on the personal and professional lives of women living in and around Potomac, Maryland, an affluent community near Washington, D.C. Bravo selected the Potomac area for the franchise due to its unique social dynamics and proximity to the nation's capital. The series premiere drew strong ratings for the network. By the time Rideaux joined the cast, the show had established itself as a long-running entry in the franchise, having aired multiple seasons with a rotating ensemble of cast members.

Joining the cast

Rideaux joined The Real Housewives of Potomac during its ninth season in the role of "friend of the housewives," a designation given to recurring cast members who appear in multiple episodes but are not full-time housewives. She continued in this role during the show's tenth season, which featured a cast that included Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, Keiarna Stewart, Stacey Rusch, Tia Glover, and Angel Massie as full-time housewives, with former housewife Monique Samuels and Rideaux serving as friends of the housewives.

Rideaux's presence on the show brought the perspective of a woman navigating life as the partner of a professional athlete. In a January 2026 episode of the after-show, Rideaux commented on fellow cast member Angel Massie, another WAG on the series, stating that Massie was "trying to find her footing." The interaction highlighted the dynamic between multiple cast members who shared the experience of being connected to the professional sports world.

Season 10 storylines

During the tenth season, Rideaux was involved in several notable storylines and on-screen moments. In November 2025, she took a pregnancy test live during the RHOP After Show. Before taking the test, Rideaux revealed to Gizelle Bryant and Tia Glover that the matter was serious to her, stating, "This is serious." The live pregnancy test segment attracted considerable attention from viewers and media outlets, becoming one of the talked-about moments of the season.

Rideaux also became embroiled in interpersonal conflict with fellow cast member Keiarna Stewart during the season. In a preview for Season 10, Episode 19, tensions erupted between the two women when Rideaux leveled a pointed accusation at Stewart, saying, "You stole Greg from his wife." The exchange drew gasps from the other Potomac housewives present during the confrontation. The heated moment was characteristic of the confrontational interpersonal dynamics that have been a hallmark of the Real Housewives franchise throughout its run.

Public profile and media appearances

Beyond her appearances on The Real Housewives of Potomac, Rideaux (under her married name Jassi Harris) has been featured in media interviews discussing her life, marriage, and identity. In an interview with BET published ahead of the Super Bowl, she reflected on her experiences with marriage, injury (in the context of her husband's football career), and what she described as redefining what it means to be more than a WAG. The interview was titled "More Than a WAG: Jassi Harris on Love, Football, and Life Beyond the NFL," and in it she discussed the complexities of being married to a professional football player while maintaining her own sense of self and purpose.

Personal Life

Jassi Rideaux married Darius Harris, a linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and three-time Super Bowl champion, in June 2025. The wedding took place in Texas and was described by media coverage as an "opulent" ceremony. The wedding was covered by multiple outlets, including People and Essence. Essence published a feature titled "Bridal Bliss: RHOP's Jassi Rideaux, Dallas Cowboys' Darius Harris Say 'I Do'," noting that Rideaux had joined The Real Housewives of Potomac during its ninth season as a friend of the show before tying the knot with Harris.

Following her marriage, Rideaux has been referred to in some media contexts by her married name, Jassi Harris. In November 2025, during the RHOP After Show, she took a pregnancy test on camera, discussing the possibility of starting a family with Harris.

Her relationship with Harris, and her identity as the wife of a professional football player, has been a recurring theme both on the show and in her public appearances. In her BET interview, she spoke about navigating the demands of her husband's career in the NFL and finding her own identity separate from the "WAG" label.

Recognition

Rideaux's wedding to Darius Harris received coverage from several prominent media outlets, including People magazine and Essence, both of which published detailed features and photo galleries of the ceremony. Her appearances on The Real Housewives of Potomac have generated media attention, particularly the live pregnancy test segment on the After Show in November 2025 and her confrontation with Keiarna Stewart during the tenth season.

As part of the broader cast of The Real Housewives of Potomac, Rideaux has contributed to a series that has been a consistent performer for Bravo since its premiere in 2016. The show's premiere episode drew notable ratings for the network, and the franchise has continued to attract viewership and media coverage through its tenth season. The Tab included Rideaux in its coverage of the ages and profiles of the RHOP cast members, indicating her status as a recognized figure within the show's ensemble.
