'RHOP' Star Ashley Darby Supports Husband Michael After Sexual Assault Claim

Ashley Darby posted a message in support of her husband, Michael Darby, after news broke that he was arrested for sexual assault.

Hollywood’s Sexual Misconduct Scandals

The Real Housewives of Potomac star, 30, posted a photo with Michael on her Instagram Story on Saturday, September 29, captioning it, “No charges filed. No arrest made. No Bravo suspension. No worries. We’ll keep you posted.”

The post came two days after TMZ reported that Michael, who is 29 years older than his wife, was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual contact for allegedly groping and grabbing the butt of a cameraman on the show.

Orville Palmer claims that the September 1 incident happened while they were filming for the show at a house in Maryland, after which Michael gave him a “flirtatious look.”

He said he put down his camera and told Michael to stop before telling his supervisor what had happened. He filed charges three days later.

NBC Miami reports that the cameraman filed for a restraining order against Michael and claimed in court documents that another incident happened in August, when the restaurateur kicked him in the butt while he was filming. His request for a restraining order was denied.

If convicted, Michael could face up to 11 years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.

We take all allegations seriously and then proceed accordingly with our producing partners.”

Production company Truly Original said it launched an internal investigation after Palmer’s allegations. The review is ongoing.

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago.

So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
