Candiace Dillard Bassett and Ashley Darby have a long history of clashing.
“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Candiace Dillard Bassett has a very interesting history with Ashley Darby. Candiace was introduced on the show as Ashley’s friend. Ashley said that she and Candiace met through the pageant scene. Interestingly enough, they fell out by reunion time. At the height of their drama, Ashley supported Monique Samuels‘ bid to stay out of jail for assaulting Candiace. Ashley did so by writing a statement that was in favor of Monique. When Candiace asked Ashley why she would get involved when she wasn’t there to witness the altercation, Ashley said she didn’t want Monique to go to jail.
Despite a rocky past, they attempted to try again at a friendship after Candiace defended Ashley at the reunion. At the time, she felt like Nicki Minaj’s criticism of Ashley was a bit unfair. Ashley really appreciated this. She took to social media to praise Candiace and she said they have a beautiful and complicated relationship.
On the current season, RHOP fans were surprised to find out that Ashley and Candiace actually filmed a scene together in Candiace’s home. They discussed Ashley’s decision to file for divorce. Ashley told Candiace that she just thinks becoming a mother made her uncomfortable with doing things with Michael she agreed to before they had children. In particular, she no longer wants a guest in their bedroom.
Candiace was elated to find out Ashley was moving on from the marriage. In the past, she said that she thought that Ashley being married to Michael kept them from being able to make any progress. Candiace and Michael have clashed for years now, too. They even had explosive moments in front of the cameras.
Michael Darby isn’t happy about the accusations Candiace Dillard Bassett made.
Ashley and Candiace’s moment of peace and friendship didn’t last long. This is due to the fact that Ashley later alleged that Chris Bassett tried to hit on one of her friends at Karen Huger’s event. Chris has vehemently denied this. Footage from the show has also not been able to back up any of the accusations made about Chris.
Candiace clapped back by making accusations about Michael. She alleged that he paid someone she knows for certain services, “Your husband likes to leave you and go to a man named *********’s house and suck his ****.”
Bravo edited the person’s name out.
Apparently, the accusations made didn’t sit well with Michael. According to TMZ, he hit Candiace with a cease and desist when he learned of the scene. But he’s alleging that Candiace never retracted her statements, which he claims are false. And now he’s suing her for $2 million in damages.
Unpopular Opinion: It’s about time. Candice is REALLY reckless with her words and she needs to learn there are consequences to her actions FOR REAL. I know this season because she was going after Gizelle and Robyn it may SEEM warrented but I was really disappointed in her “dwindling uterus” comment. She could have said ANYTHING else but there are too many women with fertility issues to throw that kind of insult around so carelessly.
Even if it’s true, Candiace gonna learn to tame that trashy mouth. She doesn’t have Michael Darby’s coins so this will cost her a pretty penny to defend herself. This should teach her a lesson.
Damages! Michael Darby old sick behind needs to go away. He’s probably been getting away with abusing women/men and possibly children. Yes, I said it. You have money but you don’t have that much money. The creator sees all that you do. I wouldn’t trust you around my kids especially when you’re drinking. You were probably on that show, To Catch a Predator”. I can be a witness for Candiace & Chris.
Candiace should file a countersuit for bullying and harassment of her and Chris. I can’t believe Ashley is still trying to defend that sick man.
He’s sick and so is Ashley for staying in anything he’s connected to. Ashley, your uncle/aunt and mother has tried to tell you how sick that man is and now that he is being exposed, he wants to sue.
Spend your money, TR_CK! They’ve got plenty of footage on your behind.
Chile…this season has been absolute dumpster juice.
I forgot that the husbands aren’t cast members so they can sue whoever they want. Dang.
This is why I don’t understand why Chris said he won’t sue Gizelle. Gizelle accused him of an actual crime. Michael said he’s suing because Candiace accused him of soliciting a pr-stitute. That’s illegal.
Candiace got more mouth the cow got a$%
Leave Gizzele along. She is the only true lady on the show. She need maybe, not ask people about their s-x or try explaining her personal life. I do believe the others could take motic
These girls just say anything true or not. I would sue too maybe she will shut that pie hole. She hate Ashley and Michael
Yes in regards to fertility problems I am in awe Candice would say anything about anyone’s uterus since she too has fertility problems!
Why does Candiace get to say such bad things to the other girls and Andy seems to think it’s ok? If Candiace would stop bringing up what Gisselle said about Chris it would go away but she brings it up every chance she gets. The way she talks about other cast member is horrible. She thinks she is so much better than them.
Good! Unpopular opinion, Candace helped created a toxic environment and it all started with Monique. RHUGT had shown a preview of how Giselle all but confirmed how she help with a lie and I am willing to bet it was on Monique and her family. Notwithstanding, how they would go after Karen and her marriage. yet it’s a problem and pull a dog whistle of colorism when accusations are back on them. girl bye! Candace has a filthy mouth and disgusting perspective on how she move. Candace Literally weaponized gay s-x against Michael and if he is it is no one business. I’m surprised the LGBTQ +community didn’t have more outrage how she would speak. Her mouth just influenced more bad behaviors and stereotypes, many of which are getting people unalived because of their hate . Very disturbing and disgusting that many don’t see that. I’m so tired of this whole season and honestly folks can leave. At the end of the day, many just have bad attitudes and behaviors that they deflect on a cor issue. As most have seen with basketball ball wives, Evelyn and shaunie is gone, now Malaysia too! So what’s👏🏾 the 👏🏾problem👏🏽 now👏🏾??? Admit the jealousy and toxicity that is produced with problem characters. I digress though. Candace is very toxic, loves chaos, and is an antagonizing bully who think she should do whatever. Characters like her are just making these shows a joke and unwatchable. #gross
Candiace needs a good attorney so she can see if she can countersue. This is a mess.
Here’s Michael wielding his wealth, power, and privilege again. I hope Candiace is having a good day.
Michael is no longer apart of Potomac. Candace made an allegation about him paying some man for oral s-x and named that person. Candace has used Michael’s named in every argument that she has has with Ashley. Looks like she is going to need new targeted information for her arguments. Michael is saying he is off limits. Always knew that mouth was was going get Candace in trouble again. 🤣 This time Michael and not Monique is going to drag her.
Candace does talk a lot of crap, but not to the extend of her being sued for it. Then again this will make her think twice about opening her mouth, that is something she really likes to do.
Candiace mouth has been problematic since jump. Show producers wouldn’t deal with it, she should be publicly reprimanded, AND , if not suspended be cast as a friend for a season or 2. Perhaps her music career can take over. I haven’t heard any of it get airtime on radio, but perhaps it will come to something. I believe they’re spending a ton of money ( or .amber Mom is) to make that happen. Her potty, petty, mouth could keep that from happening though. She needs to learn restraint and humility.
I hate that she’s being sued but I felt like he was going to do this. Accusing someone of paying for a pr-stitute is illegal. He was going to respond. This season has been full of lies and unsubstantiated rumors. All of them are guilty in that department as well. I hope the entire cast learns from this and they don’t pull this mess again next season. I also hope Candiace hires a very good attorney. Michael does not play fair. Look how he did Ashley.
Okay, There are an lot of comments going hard on Candice. For one, Candice reacts to an person according to the situation. And yes she would give you what your coming for. Candice would read you and hurt your feelings than getting into an altercation with you. I just hope she is telling the truth about this situation, Because there was no need to bring that up. I would have just keep silent on the situation if it was true.
Candiace needs to go. I think it’s crazy how people want to call Gizelle a liar when all SHE said was Chris made her uncomfortable which should be totally understandable. I would have been uncomfortable too. First, Chris said Gizelle asked him to go to her room, LIE. Then, he tried to act like she had only her robe on laying on the bed, another lie, so who’s the liar. Candiace is always running her mouth and saying something about someone but can’t take it when it’s directed towards her or her family, then wants to throw a big fit and claim colorism. Come on now. As mad as she got something’s not right.. No one gets that mad over someone saying your husband made me feel uncomfortable. Especially being that they were friends it could have been handled differently. Apologizing doesn’t have to be guilt, it’s just acknowledging the other persons feelings. There were no accusations of anything else and Gizelle even stated that. People want to hate on Gizelle so bad. Candiace made the situation bigger than it had to be for her storyline. The real focus needs to be on WHY in the world is a married man asking a women to go to her room to complain about his wife?? Let’s get to that.
