Ashley Darby spoke of her interaction with Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s 27-year-old son, Jackson Jordan, on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday after confirming they kissed on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
As she also explained her “apology” to Wendy Osefo, 41, questioned Stacey Rusch‘s story about her status with Thiemo Rusch and her past with Chris Samuels, 48, and revealed she and Josh Gudenburr are back together, Ashley, 37, spoke of her recent run-in with Karen Huger, 62, and offered a suspicious response when asked if she and Jackson shared more than a kiss.
“Maybe,” she coyly replied on the December 21 episode of WWHL.
According to Ashley, she and Jackson hung out “more than one time” and kept in touch after their first encounter.
As for who made the first move, that was Jackson.
“When we touched hands, when I took the key from him, it was electricity, it went through my body,” she gushed. “He’s so young, I didn’t think that I would like a little youngin like that. He is … 10 years younger than me.”
While Jackson asked Ashley to keep their relationship a secret, Ashley suspected Charrisse would find out through her home security device since he had “just moved back” in with her at the time.
“I thought that Charrisse would see on her cam, the security cam, and we’d get busted. That’s what I really thought was gonna happen,” she admitted, adding that Charrisse wasn’t in the house at the time.
Looking back at their run-in at the filmed party on RHOP, Ashley confessed to feeling awkward.
“I don’t usually feel that way, but all things considered,” she shared, giving the moment a 10 out of 10 for awkwardness.
Ashley then said that while they’ve “chatted” since the party on Sunday’s episode, she hadn’t seen Jackson in “a year.”
On the WWHL: After Show, Ashley spoke of Wendy, suggesting that while she seemed to offer an apology to her at BravoCon for shading her fraud arrest, the apology was actually meant for Wendy’s family members.
“My apology that I gave to her was to her children more than anyone else, and I stand by that apology, and Wendy can also go kick rocks,” she declared. “[The apology] is to her family, to her children. They are innocent bystanders in all of this.”
Back on the live show, Ashley had kinder words for Wendy, admitting to feeling bad for her when she watched her fight with her mom.
“That was very hard to watch, especially because I’ve been in a similar situation where I talked to my mom about my dad, and my mom got really sensitive too, but she was very supportive. So that was hard. I felt very bad for Wendy,” she stated.
Moving on to Stacey, Ashley clarified that she was “not concerned about Stacey’s relationship” with Thiemio.
“I am concerned with authenticity and genuineness and the truth. Point blank, period,” she explained.
Ashley also noted that she didn’t have a problem with Stacey’s potential romance with Chris.
“I never said it was a problem, but why deny it?” she wondered. “Here’s the thing: if you’re gonna skirt around the issue, it looks like you have something to hide, so why not just be honest and say, ‘Yeah, we knocked boots,’ and call it a day?”
Regarding her own love life, Ashley said she was “spinning the block” with Josh.
“Josh was in New York with me … Josh and I are dating again .. he’s a good guy,” she noted.
As for her issue with his finances, or lack thereof, Ashley confirmed, “This is still an issue, and the children part of it, too, but I just can’t quit him.”
“He’s a good guy [and] he’s a very good time,” she added.
Then, giving a nod to the time she spent with Karen at BravoCon, Ashley said, “It was very nice to give her a hug. She was running a little late, and I waited as long as I could, and it was a nice embrace.”
Also on the WWHL: After Show, Ashley said she would be touring “soon.”
“My children’s book is coming out first,” she revealed.
The Real Housewives of Potomac season 10 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
