Ashley Darby's ex-husband, Michael Darby, is taking The Real Housewives of Potomac's Candiace Dillard Bassett to court in a $2 million defamation case, arising over her on-air claims that Michael paid a man for sexual acts. Now divorced, Ashley and Michael got married two years prior to the RHOP series premiere, though right away, a majority of the cast began to question their union due to a large age gap as well as rumors that were circulating over Michael's alleged infidelities. After welcoming two sons into the world, the pair divorced in 2022, just ahead of filming for RHOP season 7.
