In the previous two episodes, RHOP cast members, including Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant and Mia Thornton, accused Candiace's husband of making them "feel uncomfortable." However, Candiance didn't believe the allegations, and instead asked the producers not to malign her husband's name when Darby was "available" for it. She seemingly hinting at the latter being accused of allegedly "gr*ping a producer" in 2018. Fans sided with the RHOP star and blamed the women for giving her husband a storyline similar to what happened with Michael. One tweeted: These women want Chris to be the next Michael Darby so bad.

A look at Michael Darby s accusations on RHOP

Episode 12 of RHOP Season 4 ended with airing previous footage of Michael Darby's interaction with the show's cameraman, which the latter allegedly claimed was s*xual assault. The footage saw Michael greeting the cameraman and after a brief exchange, the cameraman stated, "Please don't do that." A report by PEOPLE had obtained court documents that had statements from a cameraman named Orville Palmer. On September 4, 2018, Orville claimed that RHOP star 's then-husband had "grabbed and groped" his bu** three days earlier. The cameraman claimed that this happened during cast member Monique Samuels' rainbow baby shower. Michael was charged with felony assault as well as misdemeanor improper sexual contact. However, a Montgomery County court dismissed the charges the following month due to insufficient evidence. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Michael responded to the events that transpired in the episode and said: "This was a serious situation where an employee of the production company tried to take advantage of my wife and I by making up a story to try to profit from it...The fact that the production company appears to endorse his actions by splicing together disconnected and unrelated events in order to also profit is really scary for people in my position." However, a representative from RHOP's production company responded to Michael's claims to the publication and said: "Pertaining to Michael Darby's scenes in last night's Real Housewives of Potomac, there was no manipulation of audio or video; the footage that aired in last night's episode depicted events exactly as they occurred."

The former stated that Chris had a private conversation with her at the Season 6 reunion in her room, making her feel uncomfortable.
