The Real Housewives of Potomac OG Ashley Darby allegedly went at it with a series newcomer, but what happened? They are currently filming Season 11 of RHOP, but things are not going as planned. Keep reading for more details as to what went down between the two.
It’s Going Down In Potomac
Ashley Darby has been on RHOP since its inception and has become a fan favorite. The Silver Spring, Maryland native shares two sons with her ex-husband and was featured on the Bravo series, Love Hotel. She hoped to find love in Mexico alongside Luann de Lesseps, Shannon Storms Beador, and Gizelle Bryant. Now, she is back for Season 11 in Potomac, and to some, she is mother. Unfortunately, it appears that she and a newcomer have already gotten into it despite filming just beginning.
The newbie in question is Courtney Ajinca and according to Nate Williams, this is what went down. Courtney allegedly called Ashley a “p*dop*hle” and that was when everything hit a wall. They already had a contentious relationship so this was the nail in the coffin. Nate had gotten this from a very close show insider, and it is reminiscent of the RHOA battle between Kenya Moore and newcomer Brit Eady. Things reached a point where Kenya displayed explicit images of Brit during her salon opening. This led to Kenya being let go for the season.

Despite what Nate shared about Season 11 of RHOP, he made it clear that he did not want any hate or backlash directed at the women. Rather, he was sharing this news with fans who may have been interested. As for who is joining Ashley Darby for the new season, this is who is on the roster: Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, and Robyn Dixon.
Who Is The Newbie?
Allegedly, the new RHOP star is the wife of the Washington Wizards assistant coach. Courtney Ajinca has yet to be formally introduced as a member of the Bravo family. However, that is likely coming sooner rather than later. When fans heard about their fight, they wanted more context and to understand what was going on:
- I like her already!!! RHOP about to get so good
- If this is true, what a shameful thing to say about another woman. She will be gone before Ashley. Not cool at all and anyone who condones this should question their morals.
- Why did she call her that ?? Context pls
