Ashley Darby and Candiace Dillard’s Problems About ‘RHOP’

Dillard’s relationship with Darby is not as friendly as it used to be. Viewers hit Dilliard via Darby. Both are former pageant queens that Darby says met through the pageant’s world.

The two have had several major blowups. Darby is critical that Dillard relied on her mother financially. Dillard has been open about the fact that her mother finances her lavish lifestyle, pays for half of her mortgage and invests the money for Dillard to start her luxury line of hair extensions.

Darby’s also come under criticism from Dillard. Dillard accuses Darby of being dependent on a man and stays in a relationship she finds unhappy because Darby cannot give the lifestyle she wants.

She is also skeptical about Darby’s desire to start a family, and casts doubt on Darby’s drink. Dillard is also of the opinion that Darby only wants to expand her family and have children to keep her rich husband.

The friendship of the two appears beyond repair. They fought during reunion of season 4 and at the beginning of season 5 their relationship remained tight. Darby acknowledges that Dillard is the only cast member who does not congratulate her on the birth of her first child.

Dillard and Darby’s relationship will continue to play out in season 5, but there may be hope for a reconciliation. The trailer for season 5 shows Darby in a feud with a new co-star, Dr Wendy Osefo.

As of now, it is unclear where the tension between Darby and Dr. Wendy starts, but the two exchange shadows. A clip from an upcoming episode shows Darby dismissing her co-star as just Wendy. Professor Johns Hopkins responded to Darby, saying: ‘Dr. Wendy. Address me as such. Thank you dear.”

For Dillard, it’s refreshing to see someone else next to her trade jabs with Darby.

“Honestly, I found it very entertaining, because if you’re a fan of the show, you see, I’ve been the one in the past of the season whose kind has always been the resident saver with Ashley Darby and honestly I’m it’s over, “Dillard told People TV in a new interview.

She goes on to say, “That it was just funny to see someone else have a problem with Mrs. Ashley now … it was just fun to see someone else deal with her clever mouth, silly drama and Wendy treating herself.”

Dillard’s co-stars do not share the same feelings about Darby as they do. In the premiere episode of season 5, three of her cast mates confront her and challenge her to Darby to apologize for the comments she made online about Darby.

RHOP will be broadcast on Sundays on Bravo at 8 p.m. EST.
