‘The Traitors’ Breakout Candiace Dillard Bassett Signs With CAA (EXCLUSIVE)
Reality star Candiace Dillard Bassett, who first graced viewers’ television screens on “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” has signed with CAA. The move follows Dillard Bassett’s latest reality stint on Season 4 of Peacock’s “The Traitors.”
Dillard Bassett made her “Real Housewives” debut in 2018, joining the cast of “Real Housewives of Potomac” during Season 3 of the Bravo series. She remained on the series for six seasons, departing in 2024 following Season 8.
On the Emmy-winning Peacock show “The Traitors,” which premiered earlier this year, Dillard Bassett added a competition series to her résumé, being tapped as a Traitor alongside fellow “Real Housewives” alum Lisa Rinna and “Love Island” star Rob Rausch. She was banished in Episode 8, after going toe to toe with Rausch, whom she memorably called a “snake.”
A multi-hyphenate entertainer, Dillard Bassett’s career has extended to the world of scripted television, where she was a series regular for two season of ALLBLK/WeTV’s drama series “Hush,” Netflix’s “Family Reunion” and BET’s “The Christmas Lottery.”
In 2021, Dillard Bassett released “Deep Space,” her debut album (and headlined a tour for it). The ‘90s R&B-inspired album earned Billboard chart recognition, and “Drive Back,” the lead single, has amassed millions of streams. She’s toured with Live Nation and Femme It Forward, and made an appearance on Tamar Braxton’s “Love and War 10th Anniversary Tour.”
She’s also an entrepreneur, having co-founded a beauty and lifestyle brand portfolio and co-hosting the “Undomesticated” podcast in partnership with Audacy. Dillard Bassett was Miss United States 2013, but she began her career in public service as a former White House staffer.
She will continue to be represented by Nyerere Davidson.
