'Real Housewives of Potomac' Check Out The Castmates' Biggest Legal Issues
Everyone knows one of the biggest attractions of "The Real Housewives of Potomac" is all the drama with the cast members ... some of whom have ended up on the wrong end of the long arm of the law.
There's been plenty of serious charges leveled at the individuals on the hit Bravo show ... including one that resulted in jail time for a cast member.
We're going to take a look back at the legal issues faced by several figures associated with 'RHOP' ... and see how one cast member recently was charged with several felony counts.
Michael Darby Faced Charges That Were Later Dismissed
Longtime cast member Ashley Darby's ex-husband Michael Darby faced legal trouble on his time on the show, and he ended up in hot water when a cameraman accused Michael of groping him in 2018.
Although Michael was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual conduct, the charges were dismissed due to insufficient evidence, according to People.
Michael eventually brought a defamation lawsuit against former cast member Candiace Dillard Bassett, claiming she'd made various allegations about his sex life.
However, a judge dismissed his lawsuit with prejudice -- meaning he can't file the same charges again -- in 2024, People reports.
Candiace and Monique Filed Lawsuits Against Each Other
We all know the Housewives do plenty of things together ... including filing lawsuits, which was the case between Candiace and castmate Monique Samuels.
The reality TV personalities both accused each other of assault in November 2019 after they had an altercation a month earlier, which was filmed for 'RHOP's fifth season, according to People.
Neither lawsuit went forward, as the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office in Maryland informed each side's lawyers they wouldn't be taking on either complaint in December 2019.
It's worth noting Candiace and Monique would have been facing time behind bars if either of them were convicted of assault.
Karen Huger Spent Time in Jail
Karen Huger wasn't exempt from legal woes, either, as she was charged with driving under the influence, as well as various other traffic violations, in March 2024.
Huger reportedly reeked of booze and was swaying during the incident. She was found guilty nine months later of seven out of eight charges brought against her.
Huger waited until the following February to learn her sentence ... which ended up being a year in prison.
However, she only served six months before being released ... she's gonna have to serve five years of supervised probation, though. If she keeps her nose clean for three years, the last two will be unsupervised.
Wendy Osefo and Her Husband Are Facing Felony Charges
Wendy Osefo and her husband Eddie were hit with fraud charges in October 2025.
Wendy has been hit with a total of 16 charges, seven of which are felonies. Among the details alleged, the couple is accused of falsely reporting luxury items were stolen from their home when they were on vacation in April 2024, and prosecutors allege the couple claimed a $450,000 personal property loss to an insurance company.

How Larsa Pippen Started Over After Ending An On-Off Relationship
Marcus Jordan's had tons of fun times over the past few years ... and it wouldn't be unfair to think he shared a lot of them with his ex-girlfriend Larsa Pippen.
Jordan and his ex-partner, who was formerly married to NBA royalty, maintained an on-again-off-again relationship for several years before they split up for good -- and she moved on with another athlete.
Here's a look at how Larsa built a public profile for herself through various projects ... and relationships.
Larsa's a Reality Television Mainstay
Larsa made a name for herself on "The Real Housewives of Miami," debuting on the Bravo program in 2011.
Although she was absent for the show's second and third seasons, she rejoined its cast at the start of its fourth season, and she's remained with the program ever since.
Larsa's embarked on several other ventures in addition to her work in reality television ... she founded a jewelry brand called Larsa Marie, and became an investor in OLUJO Tequila, which launched in June 2025.
She's also established a reputation for being pretty open with her fanbase ... because she's maintained an OnlyFans account for several years.
She Started a Family With Scottie Pippen
Larsa's love life has been the subject of intense attention from her fans, especially after she tied the knot with Scottie Pippen back in 1997, when she was only 23 years old.
The couple welcomed several children over the course of their marriage, namely their three sons Scotty Jr., Preston, and Justin, and their only daughter, Sophia.
Larsa and Scottie's relationship wasn't always smooth, and they began divorce proceedings in 2016, although they eventually changed their minds and stayed together.
However, they eventually ended their marriage in 2021, and their relationship concluded on amicable terms.
Larsa Dated the Son of an NBA Legend
Larsa didn't stray too far from the NBA after her split with Scottie, because she ended up dating Marcus -- whose father, Michael, actually played with her ex-husband!
The reality television figure and the athlete's son were first linked in September 2022, when they were spotted at a restaurant in Miami on what appeared to be a double date.
The pair was spotted together on several occasions after that, before they made their relationship Instagram official in January 2023.
Larsa and Marcus remained together for just over a year before they went their separate ways in February 2024, and although they briefly reconciled, she eventually moved on with another figure from the basketball world.
She Eventually Started Dating Jeff Coby
So, it kind of looks like Larsa's got a bit of a type ... because she started dating former pro basketball player Jeff Coby in 2025!
In case the name's unfamiliar, Jeff played ball for Columbia University, spent a little bit of time in the G League, and played for various international teams.
Although they kept things low-key at first, Larsa and Jeff eventually let everyone know about their romance when he accompanied her to the premiere of "The Accountant 2" in April 2025, according to People.
The two haven't exactly been shy about sharing their affection for one another ever since they started dating -- like when they locked lips at her birthday party in July 2025!

How Brock Davies Started A Family With - And Cheated On - Scheana Shay
Scheana Shay's been through plenty throughout her reality television career, and we've seen her romance with Brock Davies blossom right in front of our eyes.
However, the Bravo star recently made a bombshell revelation about her relationship and an incident involving her now-husband that could have potentially tanked it before she made her way to the altar.
Here's a look at Davies' background and personal life ... as well as the cheating incident that wasn't revealed for several years.
Brock's A Personal Trainer And Former Professional Athlete
Davies was born in New Zealand, and he pursued a career as a professional rugby player in his early years.
Shay's husband represented Australia in international rugby competition, and he subsequently played at the professional level in both England and France.
He eventually decided to make the switch to American football, and was a walk-on at Colorado State University-Pueblo, where he ended up as the team captain, according to ESPN.
Davies earned himself a tryout with the NFL's New England Patriots, but his football prospects didn't turn out, and he began to focus on building his profile as a personal trainer.
He Began Dating Scheana After Meeting At A Music Festival
Davies and Shay met at a music festival in San Diego in September 2019, and a source told People the two were officially dating that November.
Although the pair went Instagram official with their romance in April 2020, the "Vanderpump Rules" star revealed she'd suffered a miscarriage that June.
The couple was still determined to start a family, and Shay gave birth to the pair's daughter, Summer Moon, in April of 2021.
Davies and Shay got engaged that July, and the happy couple tied the knot in Cancun, Mexico, the following August.
Brock Admitted To Infidelity ... And Spoke About It On Scheana's Podcast
But, the pair's marriage hasn't exactly been perfect, and Shay revealed her husband had been unfaithful to her in her book, "My Good Side: A Memoir," which was published in July 2025.
The infidelity took place when she was pregnant, according to Glamour, and although Davies claimed he wanted to be open with his wife about his cheating, she felt "sick to my stomach" and said she was "unable to contain my rage."
Davies spoke further about his infidelity on an episode of his wife's "Scheananigans With Scheana Shay" podcast, and expressed he'd "minimized" the effects that his cheating would have on his family while he carried on his affair.
He also described himself as "an absolute coward" while he saw another woman, although he added he'd "felt horrible about it" and characterized his initial unwillingness to discuss his actions as "another level of betrayal."
