"To be honest, we do not utter Monique's name, not one time, so to say that she wasn't missed was kind of an understatement," Robyn told E! News exclusively. "That's no knock to her, it's just we as grown women chose to move forward and not dwell in the past."
Robyn continued, "And, on the flip side, there's
a new person coming around, Mia [Thornton], who has nothing to do with any of the drama of the past. It was refreshing to meet someone new that could care less about what happened in the past and wanted to meet us on her own."
She concluded, "So to say that Monique wasn't missed, that's an understatement. I'm not trying to be mean, we just had to move on and try to move forward."
When asked about Monique's absence this season, Gizelle simply responded with signature shade, "Who's Monique?"
