Ashley Darby compares Chris Bassett to Michael Darby, annoyed 'RHOP' fans say 'there's no comparison'
POTOMAC, MARYLAND: Just as the dust was settling down in the feud between Candiace Bassett and Ashley Darby, the 'Real Housewives of Potomac' stars are back at locking horns again. Ever since Ashley announced that she was separating from her husband Michael Darby, Candiace was hopeful about attempting to rekindle their friendship. But things turned sour within a blink of an eye after Ashley attempted to compare Michael to Candiace's husband Chris Bassett.
The ongoing season 7 of 'RHOP' kicked off with Ashley accusing Chris of making her feel uncomfortable by sliding into her DMs. Thankfully, Candiace and she worked things out when Candiace pointed out that her husband was just trying to promote his business by responding to Ashley's Instagram story, and had no other ulterior motives. But when Gizelle Bryant too piled on Chris by accusing him of making her feel uncomfortable as well, all hell broke loose. Candiace lashed out at the production team by demanding they not attempt to tarnish her husband's image but instead focus on Michael's inappropriate behavior and actions. When Ashley heard Candiace dragging Michael in her rant, the housewife decided to set things straight. The housewife tried comparing Chris to Michael, in terms of making people feel uncomfortable with their inappropriate actions.
