S18E4: 22 | RHOP’s Ashley and Michael Darby
When it comes to the Real Housewives franchises, we have a very Godfather-esque take: “Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in again!” So it is that Alicia brings us the three-alarm trashcan fire of the marriage of Real Housewives of Potomac cast members Ashley and Michael Darby. This one’s all over the map – a big age difference, allegations of infidelity, allegations of same-sex sexual assault, and a few legal shenanigans as a trashy cherry on top of it all. Buckle up, Trashpandas. This one is Real.
