From Divorce to Success: Ashley Darby’s Grind in RHOP Season 9 Revealed
Ashley Darby is proving that life after separation is no reason to slow down. The Real Housewives of Potomac star, known for her glamorous lifestyle, is showcasing a new chapter full of personal growth and relentless work to support herself and her children. In Season 9, Episode 4, Ashley opens up about balancing multiple roles — from single mom to entrepreneur — while navigating life after her split from Michael Darby.
A Balancing Act: Family, Divorce, and Business
With two young sons, Dean (5) and Dylan (3), Ashley is determined to maintain financial independence. Facing divorce from Michael Darby, a prominent realtor, she admits she’s working harder than ever. “I’m busting my balls over here,” she confessed during a candid moment in her confessional.
Ashley emphasizes that, despite the challenges, slowing down isn’t an option. “I have to keep the cash flowing,” she shared with producers, underscoring the importance of sustaining her lifestyle amid life’s upheavals.
Diversifying Income Streams: From Drag Shows to Fashion Ventures
Ashley isn’t afraid to take on new opportunities. During a girls’ trip to Mia Thornton’s vacation home at Lake Norman, she took a work call with her philanthropic coordinator, offering a glimpse into her future projects. Beyond the cameras, Ashley has already made waves with her Wives Drag Brunch Tour, which saw her travel across the U.S., hosting events in cities like Chicago, New York, and Phoenix. Her appearances, which included lively performances and comedy shows, were highlighted in a recent RHOP episode, showing her energetic involvement in these ventures.
GnA: The Fashion Line with a Purpose
Another feather in Ashley’s entrepreneurial cap is her collaboration with Gizelle Bryant on their athleisure brand, GnA. Initially inspired by a mix of fun and fitness, the brand offers a variety of athletic wear, from hoodies to baseball caps. Ashley and Gizelle’s vision for GnA merges lifestyle with wellness, a reflection of their personal passions.
While the brand debuted with a playful vibe, Gizelle revealed in Season 9 that her father’s passing motivated her to add a meaningful layer to their business. During a charitable event with the National Brain Tumor Society, both Ashley and Gizelle showcased a more purpose-driven approach, shifting GnA towards health and wellness.
Despite initial criticism from fellow housewife Karen Huger during their Season 8 fashion show, GnA continues to evolve and thrive. The duo’s entrepreneurial journey hints at exciting new directions for the brand in future episodes.
What’s Next for Ashley?
Ashley’s entrepreneurial spirit and relentless hustle inspire viewers who follow her journey. Whether hosting events, performing at shows, or expanding her fashion business, she’s proving that balancing work, family, and personal growth is possible.
