Lawyer: Michael Darby's Suit Against Candiace Dillard Bassett Ramps Up RHOP Tension – Exclusive

According to TMZ, Michael Darby is now suing Candiace Dillard Bassett for defamation for comments she made on the series. Michael is the husband of Bassett’s fellow castmate, Ashley Darby.

On a previous episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” Ashley started bringing up allegations about Candiace’s husband, Chris Bassett, prompting Candiace to share the comment she’s now being sued for. “Chris has been in some other DMs that are not quite so innocuous and innocent as mine,” Ashley started to say. Candiace brought her right down, claiming that Michael likes to meet up with a man and participates in oral sex. She claimed Michael “is a client” of this man she knows. “You wanted smoke, so here,” she said after dropping that bomb of a secret. 

TMZ reported that Michael sent Candiace a cease-and-desist order at the beginning of 2023 and she has yet to retract any of these comments, leading to this lawsuit. This also comes after Chris was at the center of rumors this season, with Candiace telling Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast in January 2023 that he was not doing well after housewife Gizelle Bryant saying he made her uncomfortable at the Season 6 reunion.
