“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Ashley Darby is sharing her growing baby bump with fans after announcing she’s expecting her second child with husband Michael.
The reality star announced the exciting news on her social media this week. Ashley released a video where her son Dean is wearing a shirt that says he’s excited to be a big brother.
“She wrote, “There’s no hiding this big belly anymore! We are elated to share our news with you! To say we are thankful is an absolute understatement ♥️ #RHOP”
The baby news comes as the reality stars face marital problems on “Real Housewives of Potomac.” On this season, Michael is accused of hitting the strip club without telling his wife. The two are seen fighting over the incident in a recent clip released.
The drama started after Ashley’s costar Candiace Dillard received a text message from a friend. The friend had a friend who apparently saw Michael at the strip club. Michael allegedly was running around the club telling people he had a wife and a boyfriend. He allegedly was asking others who wanted to return to his hotel room with him.
Last season, Michael faced allegations of sexual assault by an “RHOP” cameraman. In 2018, Michael was criminally charged with sexual assault. 59-year-old Michael was accused of grabbing and groping Orville Palmer’s butt while he was working on the show. The cameraman claimed when he turned around Michael gave him a “flirtatious look.” He told the reality star to stop and then reported the incident to his boss.
Orville proceeded to file a statement of claim against Michael with the police. Michael was facing up to 11 years in prison on the charges, but prosecutors dropped the charges. At one point, production was put on pause after Michael was hit with the criminal charges.
