'RHOP' Cast Interrogates Ashley Over Support of Monique (Exclusive)

Grab a big glass of poncha and get ready to settle in for this Sunday’s The Real Housewives of Potomac, ’cause it’s gonna be good. Of course, by good, we mean dramatic — and ET has your exclusive first look! The ladies are still in Portugal for their all-cast trip (minus Monique Samuels), but a fun night takes a sharp left when the group’s conversation turns to Monique and her legal battle with Candiace Dillard. At this point in time, the co-stars had filed charges against one another in regard to their October 2019 physical altercation at a Maryland winery.

“I want you to hear this from me, versus, like, seeing it, so… Monique did ask me to write a statement,” Ashley Darby confesses to Candiace. “I did it because I am worried about what could happen to her.”

“Hmm,” Candiace purrs. “You’re… worried about what could happen to her?”

Wendy Osefo asks if the statement is a character statement or a witness statement, as the other ladies point out that Ashley wasn’t actually present for the incident that led to this legal battle (she was in the bathroom when it went down). Gizelle Bryant then mouths to Robyn Dixon, “That was your question.”

“Monique’s attorney said that I should write just what was seen publicly,” Ashley explains. “So, I wrote about what happened at your house, at the reunion and then, how we had back and forths on social media.”

“So basically, the statement was to assassinate Candiace’s character?” Wendy asks.

“It’s not about an assassination,” Ashley responds, as Wendy cuts her off to add, “That’s what it was.”

“They’re trying to weaken Candiace’s case,” Wendy suggests, “saying that Candiace has a temperament that will result in someone being physical with her.”
