April 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Ashley Darby of Real Housewives of Potomac may be the youngest on the show, but that doesn't mean her resume isn't filled with some major accomplishments. Bravo's bio states that she is a Maryland native who has "been instilled with tenacity and an unmatched drive to succeed." The bio also reveals that as "[t]he oldest child in her family, Ashley grew up juggling multiple jobs to help support her single mom and younger siblings." 

Ashely also has a history with pageantry. While attending the University of Maryland, Ashley was bartending "on the side to keep both herself and her family financially stable" and was scouted by Miss America, her bio says. She went on to compete in the 2011 Miss America competition and was crowned Miss District of Columbia. After winning the crown, she met her husband Michael Darby and appeared on TLC's Say Yes to the Dress when shopping for her wedding gown, per Bustle

Ashley definitely puts her driven attitude and poised pageant experience to good use whenever she deals with drama on Real Housewives of Potomac.
