Ashley Darby revealed that she wasn’t ready to sign divorce papers on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Potomac during a Mother’s Day brunch.
The 35-year-old reality star was asked by Charrisse Jackson-Jordan if she had signed her divorce papers after announcing her separation from Australian real estate mogul Michael Darby, 64, in April 2022.
‘When do you think you wanna really sign them, realistically speaking?,’ asked Charisse, 58, who filed for divorce from Eddie Jordan during season two of RHOP.
‘Um, it’s very emotional,’ Ashley said. ‘And I don’t feel urgency right now. It’s just very final.’
Charisse in a confessional said her divorce was very different.

Ashley Darby revealed that she wasn’t ready to sign divorce papers on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Potomac on Bravo during a Mother’s Day brunch
‘When I filed for divorce, I was done. Couldn’t wait. I was asking the judge, ”Is it over? When is it over?” But, I think Ashley is having reservations. She needs his finances. You know, he knew what he married,’ Charisse said.
Ashley at the brunch further explained herself to Charisse.
‘I don’t wanna be together romantically, but I’m not necessarily ready to sign the papers. Like, we still live separately, do separate things,’ Ashley said.
Ashley also addressed her situation in a confessional.
‘My family says to me that I really need to cut this tie for my emotional well-being, for me to move on, X, Y, and Z, and I’m like, I hear them. Like, okay, I get it. But I really do have to do this on my own time. I’m gonna get there, okay? Damn!,’ Ashley told the camera.
Ashley and Michael got married in May 2014 and they have four-year-old son Dean and two-year-old son Dylan together.
They announced their separation in April 2022 after nearly eight years of marriage.
Ashley revealed during the season seven reunion last year that she would not be receiving alimony from Michael, but was going to keep the house.

Candiace Dillard Bassett, 37, and her mother Dorothy met with Elizabeth, chief commercial officer at Parfums de Marly, to plan the Mother’s Day event.
‘In our group, we all pretty much have special relationships with our moms, and I recognize how many of us have been influenced and celebrated by our moms. So, it’s fitting that, you know, we have an event to celebrate the moms in our group and the mothers of the group,’ Candiace said in a confessional.
They went over invitiations and Candiace said she had ‘zero interest’ in inviting Gizelle Bryant, 53.
‘She can stay home,’ Candiace said.
Candiace also shared that she was undecided on inviting Robyn Dixon, 44.

Wendy Osefo, 39, also met with producers as she pursued becoming a daytime talk show host.
She revealed in a confessional that she parted with her previous producer after getting a contract from her that gave the producer 50 percent ownership of the show.
‘To me, that was a red flag. So, I decided to let her go. I wanted to make sure to find a producing team that spoke to not just my heart but the project. This is something that I’m destined for,’ Wendy said.
Wendy told the producers that she wanted her talk show to feel like having a conversation at your cousin’s house.
‘But I could talk to you about the Grammys, being a Black woman, North Korea, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the laundry mat, I don’t know, the BET Awards, imposter syndrome. That’s why I think this is so major,’ Wendy told the producers who she eventually hired.

Robyn did not attend Candiace’s Mother’s Day brunch, but they later met up at a restaurant to talk about their shaky friendship.
Candiace told Robyn that she was there to listen to her and asked her to explain what she did to hurt her.
Robyn said their friendship was ‘killed’ when Candiace went on social media and started ranting about her and her marriage.
She also told Candiace that she had an issue with her spreading the narrative that they deliberately plotted against her husband Chris Bassett to cover up for Juan.
‘I am not throwing my husband under the bus for anyone’s entertainment,’ Robyn said.
Robyn ultimately told Candiace that they shouldn’t be friends if she really believes that she conspired against her husband and Candiace walked out of the restaurant.
