Ashley Darby introduced her new boobs and showed off her new home with a housewarming party on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Potomac.
The 35-year-old reality star during the season eight episode titled Home Sweet Drama also introduced her friend and new castmate Nneka Ihim, 36, during the 75-minute show on Bravo.
Ashley, who split in April 2022 with Australian businessman Michael Darby, 78, after nearly eight years of marriage, met up with friends at a Pilates session organized by Karen Huger, 60.
The mother-of-two wore a bright orange skintight exercise outfit with a side cutout and one shoulder strap upon arrival at The Pilates Loft.
‘I have new boobs. Is this okay?,’ Ashley asked Pilates instructor Allie.

‘This is totally fine with new boobs,’ Allie replied.
Ashley then started working out on a Pilates machine.
‘I would like to introduce you to Demi and Diamond,’ Ashley said in a confessional while holding her new boobs.
‘I got them about two months ago, and I’m really happy with my decision. I like them,’ she added.
Karen after their Pilates workout asked Ashley if her divorce had been finalized.
‘I am not divorced. I am technically married, but I live very much apart, and my name is the only name on the deed of this home,’ Ashley said.
Ashley was then asked if she could tell them why Michael was suing their castmate Candiace Dillard Bassett, 36.
‘I cannot. It’s public record,’ Ashley said of the lawsuit.

Ashley revealed that Candiace told her to never talk to her again after they had a disagreement during the last show reunion.
‘Is she coming to your housewarming party tomorrow?,’ Mia Thornton, 38, asked Ashley.
‘I haven’t invited her,’ Ashley replied.
Karen who spoke with Candiace four days earlier shared that Candiace was out of town anyway in Los Angeles.
Ashley then told the group that also included Gizelle Bryant, 53, that her friend Nneka was going to her housewarming party.
‘She’s a lawyer. She’s very intelligent. She’s beautiful. She’s married to a doctor,’ Ashley said while describing Nneka.
The ‘Seaside In The City’ housewarming party featured a nautical theme with a buffet and bartender and the guest list included Ashley’s family and close friends.
‘I’m really excited to have my core group of friends and my family at my house, my Seaside in the City. I have appreciated how, irrespective of whatever differences or disagreements we’ve had in the past, they were really there for me when I was leaving Michael. When it was just such a trying and emotional chapter of my life, and I can start this new chapter with them by my side,’ Ashley said in a confessional.

Ashley’s Uncle Lump raised his eyebrows after learning that her ex Michael was with Ashley during her recent vacation to the Bahamas.
‘My uncle is just an old school dude,’ Ashley said in a confessional. ‘He’s been with the same woman for almost 30 years. It also makes it hard for him to empathize and see my perspective, you know, because he’s led his life a particular way, and it’s different than how I’m leading mine.’
Uncle Lump said he ‘stays in his lane’.
‘Do you?,’ Gizelle teased him.
‘I try. I try. I’m human. If she wanna veer off, then that’s her thing,’ Uncle Lump said.
Ashley later gave a house tour and said her living room was inspired by coastal chic with neutral tones.
Wendy Osefo, 39, arrived during the house tour and ignored Gizelle and Mia while greeting everyone.
Ashley showed the kitchen and then moved upstairs and pointed out her bedroom and children’s room.

Robyn Dixon, 44, arrived late after the intervention in which her friends presented their concerns about her husband Juan Dixon, 45.
Nneka arrived in a chic black dress and was greeted warmly by everyone.
A producer in a confessional asked Wendy if she had seen Nneka before and she shared that she’d seen her in passing before.
Wendy then pointed out that everyone was pronouncing Nneka’s name wrong.
Ashley pulled Wendy aside for a talk while Nneka talked with the other women.
Nneka shared that she wants to have children and saw a doctor after three months of trying with her new husband.

‘So, I went and did all my labs and all that stuff, and, like, they said I’m above average, which I usually am in everything,’ Nneka said.
Wendy admitted to Ashley that she had trust issues after Ashley’s friend Deborah called her husband ‘Happy Eddie’ while claiming he was being overly friendly.
‘I just don’t want to feel like, if the opportunity presents itself, you will stab me in the back,’ Wendy said.
‘I respect that,’ said Ashley who pointed out they have spent enough time together to build trust.
Ashley in the trust vein shared that Nneka questioned if Wendy was a medical doctor or doctor of philosophy degree holder.
‘Girl, let me tell you something. I worked hard for my PhD. If it doesn’t make her happy, that’s on her, but she’s gonna still address me as Dr. Wendy,’ Wendy said in a confessional.

Ashley also told Wendy that she had a conversation about the Osu caste system with Nneka.
A producer in a confessional told Ashley that she made it seem like Nneka was talking trash about Wendy and Ashley blamed it on drinking tequila.
Wendy clarified to Ashley that she was not an outcast Osu and in a confessional Wendy said she expected more from Nneka, a fellow Nigerian.
The Real Housewives Of Potomac will return next week on Bravo.
