The diva has always wanted a child of her own, since getting married while her husband had been reluctant to parent kids. However, on 11 July 2018, Ashley told the Daily Dish that her husband was slowly enjoying the idea of bringing children to the fore.

While the restraining order was denied, this wasn't the first time Michael was engaged in such acts as castmate, Gizelle Bryant has raised concerns about Michael's sexual preference when she saw him 'squeezing' another housewife's boyfriend's rear.

Ashley, however, has defended her husband while calling the incident a 'joke' and shared a picture of her smiling partner to her Instagram story as she wrote, 'No charges filed. No arrest made. No Bravo suspension. We'll keep you posted.' 

With the network taking allegations seriously, the production company for 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' have put the filming with Michael Darby in suspension.
