It's time to put your Bravo knowledge to the test. Bravoholics know their fair share of reality TV trivia, from which Real Housewives series was the franchise's original to which show Vanderpump...When Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby announced that she and her husband Michael Darby were separating, I don’t think it was a surprise. In a statement to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Ashley said, “Almost eight years ago, when Michael and I said, ‘I do,’ we anticipated sharing every single day together from that moment forward. Unfortunately, that is not our current reality,” she stated.
Michael has been a controversial figure on RHOP since its debut. Michael was charged with sexual assault for allegedly grabbing a cameraman’s butt in 2018. After the charges were dropped, Michael returned to filming the show.
The couple briefly separated in 2017. There were also numerous rumors of infidelity on Michael’s part. Ashley always had her husband’s back. In March of 2022, Ashley once again defended Michael when he was seen with another woman at a South Carolina hotel.
Ashley’s separation will play out on Season 7 of RHOP. In the trailer for the season, Ashley told the ladies she was planning to purchase a house with Michael. Ashley’s co-stars have some questions about this unusual separation.
Ashley spoke with Entertainment Tonight about why she and Michael decided to end their marriage. “It’s a really difficult decision, but ultimately I think it is the best decision for us because I just really am a different person than I was when he met me,” Ashley explained.
The accusations of cheating affected Michael more than Ashley. “I mean, if he was out anywhere, people would take pictures and send them to me, you know? ‘Who’s Michael talking to?’ ‘What’s Michael doing?’” Ashley remarked. Part of that was because of Michael’s behavior.
Ashley noted that she and Michael “just have different expectations for the relationship.” The couple share two sons: Dean, who is three years old, and one-year-old Dylan. After becoming a mother, Ashley no longer wanted to engage in threesomes with her husband.
She explained, “It has just sort of been a long time coming. And yes, there is something that happened, that I do share in this season, that was sort of the pivotal moment that made it come to fruition, but ultimately … it’s just been piling up if you will,” Ashley added.
So, will RHOP viewers hear Michael’s side of the story this season? That would be a hard pass. Thankl heavens! “Michael has decided that he doesn’t wanna be a part of [the show] anymore, and I respect that,” Ashley stated. “It was a really difficult thing, where he didn’t have any privacy for a while there. Granted, it was from some of his own doing but, you know, he just wanted to– he says, ‘I’m 62 years old and I just wanna have my life back,’ and I respect that,” she remarked. The duo still live together in their penthouse to co-parent their sons.

Due to a technicality, a couple must be legally separated for at least one year before filing for divorce in Virginia. Ashley explained, “It was very fresh, it was a fairly new decision, that we had decided — or that I had decided on — so it had still felt like a new and I don’t feel like it was so– ‘divorce’ is so, even d- it’s just such a hard consonant, I just wasn’t ready,” she said. Ashley admitted, “There’s some moments of missing our relationship.”
It will be interesting to watch Ashley’s journey on RHOP this season, and see how she connects with her co-stars without Michael in the picture.

No love lost. When Meghan King announced she married Cuffe Owens after three weeks of dating, most fans didn’t have much hope for the union. And they would be right. The marriage lasted just two months and they successfully received an annulment.
Now she’s revealed where the two stand after their break up last year. As reported by Page Six, the former Real Housewives of Orange County star opened up to Lala Kent’s on her Give Them Lala podcast. Meghan admitted that she and Cuffe are “not cool” and “don’t talk.”
She explained, “Why would [we] talk? There’s no reason to keep it going. It was annulled, so there’s no property to split, anything.” Lala, who went through her own messy breakup a few months before Meghan, agreed. Said the Vanderpump Rules star, “What’s the point of talking after that? There’s no reason. Just call it a day, have a good life.”
But Lala did think that Meghan’s union was a “cool story” given that President Joe Biden attended the Pennsylvania wedding. Cuffe is President Biden’s nephew. Meghan confessed that the wedding was “kind of crazy.” She noted that it “just felt like a family wedding,” but there were “at least as many” Secret Service members at the ceremony as there were guests.
Meghan remarked, “It was at Cuffe’s parents’ house and when I was driving there on the highway, all the exits were shut down and the police were at the exits. The whole street was shut down that the wedding was done. Snipers, yeah.”
Despite all the hoopla, Meghan and Cuffe walked away with a priceless wedding gift from the Bidens. Last month she revealed on her own podcast that the President gifted them a crystal. “He gave me a crystal bowl, like, with the presidential seal.” She also went on to say, “And [Vice President] Kamala Harris wrote me a note.”
Now that Meghan is almost a year removed from the split, she has admitted that the marriage itself was a “mistake.” The single mom of three shared in July,“We rushed into it. Like I said earlier, I’m a lover and I want everybody to be happy. I learned some big lessons from that mistake. I’m sure he did as well.”

For the second week in a row, my Wednesday nights are booked solid with my favorite watches for the week. From Real Housewives to The Challenge, the night has so much promise. Especially given that Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has started off with a bang, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is airing part one of their reunion, and The Challenge is premiering its newest season. Additionally, both Real Housewives of Potomac and Bling Empire have returned. Get your popcorn ready, guys!
RHOBH sure has had a lot of leaks this season. So much so that it felt like we the viewers were always one step ahead of what was happening on the show. But nothing has dominated this season more than the cast’s social media antics. Since the finale, the cast has been going at it nonstop on Instagram and Twitter. Lisa Rinna even made use of her TikTok, which surprisingly has almost half a million followers. But I think my head nearly exploded when fan account Queens of Bravo posted a clip from the reunion in which Kathy Hilton completely destroys Rinna. As they say, “if you come at the [Queen], you better not miss.”
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
Something peculiar has happened on this season of RHOSLC. The cast has completely rallied around the legally embroiled Jen Shah. Now maybe that wouldn’t seem so surprising if they didn’t spend the last two seasons hating her. Meredith Marks in particular. But Lisa Barlow’s tirade about Meredith has pushed her straight into the arms of the enemy. And everyone else seems to be following suit. Whitney Rose is on a personal journey of wellness and healing but after last week’s episode, it looks like that will drive a wedge between her and sister-cousin Heather Gay. The question is: how long will it take for them to turn on each other.
Watch on Bravo at 9 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
In the 38th season of the classic reality competition, The Challenge has brought back teams. Or, ride or dies, if you will. Some of our favorites have teamed up to try and crush the competition for their share of $1 million. OG’s Darrell Taylor and Veronica Portillo, Aneesa Ferreira and Jordan Wiseley, along with Tori Deal and Devin Walker are all back and teamed up. Unfortunately for Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio haters (such as myself), he’s also back and has a partner in veteran Nany Gonzalez. Why Nany insists on defending him is beyond me. But given how many Challenge finals have slipped through her fingers, maybe she is hoping the seven-time champ will finally get her that elusive win.
Watch on MTV at 8 PM ET.
I can’t even contain myself. RHOP is one of my favorite housewives franchises. And for good reason. The cast is a solid one and they always bring a high level of drama. One of my favorite things about RHOP is that it never feels contrived either. Their reads are solid, the producers are shady AF and we are going to get a newly SINGLE Ashley Darby. As we all know, Ashley and worst husband ever Michael Darby have separated, which played out during filming. But Ashley isn’t the only one with relationship issues. Candiace Dillard is facing accusations from the women about husband Chris Bassett crossing the line with them. As Bravo teased in the season trailer’s synopsis, “This season, no relationship is safe from the Potomac rumor mill.”
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
I cannot wait to dive into season 3 of the Netflix hit, Bling Empire. While I did find season 2 to be a little anticlimactic, I think the cast was taking notes and upped the ante this time around. Anna Shay and Christine Chiu are still feuding. Unlike Real Housewives, Bling Empire doesn’t bother to play nice and make alliances. Christine even went as far as to try and speak with HR at Netflix after hearing that Anna wanted to take her down last season. We are also treated to a surprise newcomer in the form of Vietnamese model Devin Diep. Based on the trailer, Devin might be the ex of playboy cast member Kevin Kreider. But we just have to tune in to find out.
All 10 episodes are streaming now on Netflix.
