Thomas Anthony “TJ” Jones has responded to Real Housewives of Potomac newbie Stacey Rusch’s denials that she paid him to appear on the show as her love interest…and says he’s ready to drop the receipts to prove it.
TJ says he has Zelle transfers proving that the reality star was paying him for his time.
“Old friends, new friends. What up y’all? I just got back from Phoenix. I was doing a play there about Alzheimer’s, and I was getting a bunch of text messages because people were saying, ‘TJ, there was an earthquake in North Hollywood, are you OK?’” he said in the video clip.
“I live in Burbank and it was super close to where I live,” he continued. “Speaking of earthquakes, it might be my turn to share some earth-shattering news.”

After posting a video teasing his potential “earth-shattering news,” he then went back and forth in the comments section.
“Anyone ever use Zelle before? If you have, you know each transaction has a confirmation number. My bank also sends an email to me as a record. Love the convenience of that feature,” he wrote.
Rusch claims that she called to confront him after the shocking reunion episode and that he was “remorseful.”
“He was very remorseful. He was very emotional, and it was a hard call to have,” she explained. “I did not pay him. I was in a real relationship with him and he treated me very poorly and to see that, to see him be so disrespectful, and to see him be definitely un-Christian, and to do this to me at the reunion, it was just jarring quite frankly.”
It seems TJ has changed his mind.
