I'm not so sure that's related to the potholder at all.

Is there any chance that's water damage?

+1 That was my thought. Looks like the taped joint let loose. I don't see
any stains but... Investigate further. It's a kitchen and the hanger just
might have pulled the tape loose, along with the moisture from that big bowl
of spaghetti you are making for us.
