'Real Housewives of Potomac': Michael feels 'molested' by Ashley on call, fans wonder why she puts up with him

'Don’t know why Ashley takes his BS behavior .... I just don’t get it, a fan commented

Ashley and Michael Darby's marriage was driven to a point where they had agreed upon signing a postnup which meant that after five years of marriage she would be elligible to inherit 50% of their assets. That way, her and their son Dean's future are secure. However, she recently said that she has been a little lackadaisical in signing the papers because Michael has been on his best behavior.

This was also the sentiment in this week's episode of 'Real Housewives of Potomac', where she said she was 100% in her marriage with Michael and that she was trying to be as supportive as she can. 

As the ladies retired to their hotel rooms, Ashley made a call to Michael wishing to see Dean before he goes off to sleep. Unable to reach Michael, she called Eve, her friend, trying to understand what the situation was back home and she learned that he hadn't reached home and that the kid was cranky. After a few attempts, he received the call and said that he was running late and said that he felt "molested" by Ashley's need to have all the answers. 

Later, however, the couple was able to sort their differences out when he called her back and said that he understood why Ashley reacted the way she did and that he wouldn't do it again. Ashley forgave him and realized that she had gone overboard with the reaction. As she narrated the incident to Karen Huger, she pointed out that Ashley was being lenient and hinted that Michael being late could mean other things?

Michael once cheated on Ashley and that was the turning point of their marriage. Are they heading towards a similar situation? Time will tell. Meanwhile, fans seem to Michael was way out of line to say that he felt "molested" by Ashley's questions. 

"Molested" for calling you, wtf? Why is Michael such an a**hole?!? Better question - Why does Ashley put up with it? #RHOP," a fan tweeted, while another shared: "@BravoTV Did Michael just say to Ashley “ I can’t be molested like this “ Is he nuts #RHOP."

"Michael Darby is one big azz!! He just said Ashley 'molested' him on the phone.... what does that even mean?!?!? Don’t know why Ashley takes his BS behavior .... I just don’t get it ...#RHOP," a fan commented. "Whew... Michael honey. Molested? I want Ashley to leave his raggedy behind. She doesn’t deserve to be sitting in the bed on a fabulous vacation crying. #RHOP," a viewer expressed.
