‘RHOP’ Star Michael Darby Suspended After Sexual Assault Charge

-

Bravo is no longer filming The Real Housewives of Potomac with Ashley Darby’s husband, Michael Darby, after he was reportedly charged with sexual assault.

“Bravo has comprehensive policies and guidelines relating to the safety of cast and crew which production companies are required to follow, in addition to their own protocols they have in place,” the network said in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, September 28. “We take all allegations seriously and then proceed accordingly with our producing partners. Bravo and Truly Original, the production company for The Real Housewives of Potomac, have suspended filming with Michael Darby.”

Stars Who Were Fired From Jobs

Truly Original said in a separate statement to Us its “No. 1 priority is the safety of our employees, contractors, vendors and others that work with us.”

“We take all allegations of sexual and other misconduct seriously, and have stringent policies, as well as training, in place to deal with all employee issues,” the company said. “Immediately upon learning of these allegations, we commenced a thorough internal review and, per our protocol, took all appropriate steps to ensure the safe working environment and safe forum for communication for everyone associated with the production. The review is ongoing and we are not able to comment further.”

All 33 ‘Real Housewives’ Couples Who Filed for Divorce

TMZ reported a day earlier that Michael, 59, allegedly groped and grabbed a cameraman’s butt while filming the Bravo reality series on September 1. The alleged victim, Orville Palmer, reportedly claimed that Michael gave him a “flirtatious look” after the incident. According to the website, Michael was later charged with felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual conduct.

RHOP star Gizelle Bryant previously accused the contractor of touching another man’s butt in an episode of the show’s first season in 2016. In response to that claim, Ashley, 30, defended her husband: “My man has sex with me, he loves me and he gives it to me good. So quite frankly, whatever he does in joking manners is not a reflection of my man’s sexuality.”

The Biggest ‘Real Housewives’ Fights Ever

Michael did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 1 finale. What’s next? Yellowjackets quickly became one of the buzziest shows of the year following its November 2021 premiere — and its finale left viewers eager for answers. The Showtime series follows Misty ( Christina Ricci ), Natalie ( Juliette Lewis ), Shauna ( Melanie Lynskey ) and Taissa ( Tawny Cypress ), who were stranded in the wilderness as teens ( Sammi Hanratty , Sophie Thatcher , Sophie Nélisse and Jasmin Savoy Brown , respectively) after surviving a plane crash. Their traumatic experience leads the women down a dangerous path — and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. “Showtime does like their gore.

Our intention is never to be shocking or provocative for the sake of ...
