How RHOP’s Stacey Rusch Left Ashley Darby ‘Pleasantly Surprised’

When Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Mauricio UmanskyKyle Richards’ estranged husband – bumped into the ladies of the Real Housewives of Potomac in Aspen, Ashley Darby’s interest was immediately piqued.

“He’s a single man now,” she whispered to Stacey Rusch, when she spotted the hunky real estate mogul.

Though Ashley’s man radar was off the charts, Gizelle Bryant told her to cool her jets. “No!” she insisted. “Mauricio is off limits to all of us.”

After bumping into Mau, Ashley and Stacey pretended to look for the lady’s room as an excuse to follow him. As they waited by the front door, Mama Gizelle caught up with them, ready to divert any inappropriate behavior.

“Mauricio, we’re going to let you go, because these ladies right here are a hot mess,” she told him. “Keep your tongues in your mouth!”

As Mau went on his way, Gizelle scolded Ashley, “You know, we’re in Kyle’s world; she’s in our world.” You wouldn’t want that done to you, don’t do it to Kyle.

Even though Ashley felt “enough time has passed,” Gizelle simply shot back, “I don’t.” Nevertheless, Stacey offered to run downstairs and get Mau’s number for her, but Ashley declined.

“I don’t want Mauricio,” she admitted. “But for the future, for another man, I like the way you move.”

Meanwhile, Stacey suddenly seems to have lost her prim and proper QVC persona and become Ashley’s enthusiastic wingwoman. “Who is this woman?” Ashley asked in a confessional. “I’ve never seen the homegirl side of Stacey like this before. I’m very pleasantly surprised.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the following day.
