'RHOP' fans slam Candiace and Michael for body shaming Ashley's post-pregnancy body

'Body Shaming is not a good look for you, Candiace or any other woman. Just zip it #RHOP,' wrote a fan

Ashley Darby's body was the subject of discussion on the recently aired episode of 'Real Housewives of Potomac'. The housewife's post-pregnancy body was subject to both criticism and appreciation on the recently aired episode of 'Real Housewives of Potomac'.

Immediately after giving birth to her second son, Ashley wasted no time in trying to get back into shape. The housewife began doing Kegels and some light exercises to shed the extra pounds added to her body during pregnancy. Ashley's husband Michael was extremely appreciative of it, but his backhanded compliment rubbed the fans the wrong way. Michael expressed to Ashley that he found her attractive because she was over-weight. On the other hand, Ashley's long-time nemesis, Candiace poked fun at Ashley's post-pregnancy body by calling it 'wide body a**' and 'filthy milkmaid'.

Candiace was upset over Ashley causing chaos during their Williamsburg getaway. Although Ashley was there for just a couple of hours, the housewife managed to stir the pot by creating a huge rift between Wendy Osefo and the green-eyed bandits aka Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant. Ashley pulled Wendy aside to inform her about the rumors of her husband Eddie Osefo's alleged infidelity doing rounds amongst the group. Wendy didn't take it too well and snapped at everybody for giving life to the rumors by discussing it.

Candiace felt that Ashley ruined their perfect vacation by sticking her nose into Wendy's business. So, in her green room interview she began insulting and body-shaming Ashley. Several fans took to Twitter to call out Candiace. A fan tweeted, "Why Does Candiace Hate Ashley So Much - Name Calling/Body Shaming. She's So Jealous Of Ashley's Growth As A Wife + Mother. #RHOP." Another fan wrote, "Body shaming a woman who has just had a baby Candiace? Wow, you’ve sunk low before, but this takes the cake Shame on you. Women should uplift one another not tear each other down. #RHOP." "Body Shaming is not a good look for you, Candiace or any other woman. Just zip it #RHOP," seconded a fan.

Fans also didn't appreciate how Michael seemed to be pressuring Ashley to quickly get into shape and get in bed with him again. A fan commented, "Michael saying he feels attracted to Ashley b/c she’s not overweight. #RHOP." "I'm sorry did Michael just tell @_AshleyDarby that she lost her weight fast and has her figure back so he is still attracted to her wtf dude your lucky she finds you attractive #rhop #pig," expressed a fan. Another fan shared, "Michael really is a disgusting human. He’s basically telling Ashley he’s ok with her, because she’s getting her body back in shape quickly. The only thing he’s really concerned with is how quickly they can get back to not having a baby in the bedroom. #RHOP."
