Stacey Rusch Slams Ashley Darby for Questions on Chris Samuels: "Speaking My Truth" tram
Nobody has questioned Stacey Rusch's love life on The Real Housewives of Potomac more than Ashley Darby. Looking back, Stacey had a few things to get off her chest on the matter.
As viewers have seen so far on Season 10, Ashley expressed skepticism over everything from Stacey's denial that she paid her ex-boyfriend Thomas Anthony "TJ" Jones for his RHOP appearances to whether or not she and Thiemo Rusch were ever actually divorced prior to their reconciliation.
So, by the time Ashley confronted Stacey about her relationship with Chris Samuels, aka Monique Samuels' ex-husband, during Episode 5, she had all but anticipated the line of questioning.
"Ashley's gonna be Ashley, so I expect her to be consistent — and that, she is," Stacey explained in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish. "I don't know what it is with her. I would think that she is busy. I don't understand why she has so much time to invest in my life... when I'm not really invested in hers, in that way."
She continued, "I'm interested in a genuine friendship, and it seems like Ashley is interested in being a detective."

When it comes to Ashley giving her the third degree about getting back together with Thiemo, Stacey further insisted that her on-camera explanations still have not changed.
"There isn't anything to clear up because, as I told her, I was divorced in December, and that is the truth," Stacey added. "I can't concern myself with what Ashley needs to know about my life. But I'm speaking my truth. I am, in fact, divorced, and I've maintained that from the get-go."
Indeed, Stacey claimed on the show that she and Thiemo received a notification that they were "officially divorced" during a family Christmas vacation to Mexico with their 9-year-old daughter, Arabella. Because Ashley could not locate any public records that verified their divorce had been filed, however, she doubted that was true. So, at Ashley's request, Stacey showed her divorce documents during Episode 2, to put the speculation to rest.
Ultimately, Stacey struggled to understand why Ashley seemed so determined to disprove her relationship-related claims.
"I can't speak for Ashley regarding why she didn't just ask me as a friend, instead of automatically assuming the worst and accusing me of being a liar," she concluded.
How Stacey Rusch responded to Ashley Darby bringing up Chris Samuels dating rumors on RHOP
As mentioned, during RHOP's Episode 5 cast dinner in Nevis, Ashley called out Stacey for digging into Gizelle Bryant's new romance with NFL vet Shawn Springs, bringing up, instead, that she'd allegedly asked a mutual friend "who works with a lot of athletes" to help her "get close to" Chris.
"I adore Chris Samuels," Stacey responded. "He is a great man, a great father. We are good friends."
Unsatisfied with her answer, Ashley continued to press Stacey on how exactly her and Chris' friendship began.
"Both of us, having gone through a divorce, we have a lot of friends in common," Stacey revealed. "And that's what it is."
Still, Ashley claimed that "Chris is telling people, too," and after they returned to their resort, she further accused Stacey of "lying" in her characterization of the relationship.
"Y'all want me to be somebody else so bad, and you just can't accept who I am," Stacey clapped back. "It's unbelievable."
‘I don’t even know why it’s happening…’: Katie Price shows off her tiny waist and tattooed stomach after revealing her mystery weight loss — as the 46-year-old undergoes full-body ‘ultimate reset’ treatment amid growing concern from fans and family… - suong
KATIE Price has showcased her very slender waist and tattooed stomach after she confessed she “doesn’t know” the reason for her weight loss.
The former glamour model, 46, revealed her “snatched and defined” look as she headed for a beauty treatment in Greater Manchester.
It came after the mum of five concerned fans when she was rushed to hospital – claiming medics are baffled by her slimmed-down frame.
Now Katie, who sought further medical advice for her weight just last month, has undergone an “ultimate reset” with full-body lymphatic drainage treatment.
A series of images posted to Drain and Define’s Instagram page showed her lying on her back, with her bare tummy and array of body artwork exposed.
Her tanned, slender waist could clearly be seen as she stayed snug under two beige towels.
In their caption, the Bury-based business wrote: “Full body lymphatic drainage meets sculpting wood therapy.
“The ultimate reset for @katieprice — her stomach looked snatched and defined, and the post-treatment zen was unreal.
“Pure transformation inside and out.”
Lymphatic drainage has been dubbed the “celeb weight loss massage” with the likes of Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner all self-confessed fans.
It was initially designed to relieve inflammation related to lymphoedema – a condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissues, sometimes as a result of cancer treatment, infection, injury or long periods of immobility.
But in 2025, lymphatic drainage is now touted as a way to reduce stress, appear slimmer and get glowing skin.
It is a non invasive treatment and a lot like a gentle therapeutic massage, used to alleviate digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, and reduce cellulite.
HEALTH CONCERNS
Just last month, Katie uploaded a selfie to social media with a concerning caption.
She wrote: “First day off and straight to the doctors to find out what’s happened to my weight.”
She also shared another snap of herself in a pink hoodie and said: “Doctors for bloods to see why I’m losing weight.”
This comes after she revealed she was in hospital last month after drastically shedding the pounds over the past 12 months.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner told her fans on Snapchat at the time: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts.
“They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.
“And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did.”
Her frail frame has been a cause of concern for her fans over the last few months, with many of her loyal followers taking to the comments section of her pictures to share their worries.
FAMILY CLAP BACK
Her fans aren’t the only ones who have shared their concerns as the former glamour model’s family have also said their piece.
In August, while filming the first episode of her new podcast, The Katie Price show, she was joined by her sister Sophie.
As the podcast was wrapping up, the sister duo were joined by Sophie’s dad and Katie stepdad Paul as talk soon turned to Katie’s weight loss.
On the episode, Katie, who recently showed off her newest surgery, asked her dad: “What are you looking at?” to which he replied: “Look how thin them legs are, terrible they are, my hand can go round them.”
She replied: “They’re obsessed with my weight,” as Sophie chimed in: “You are thin.”
Katie was heard insisting: “I am happy,” as her dad retorted: “No it’s not right, it’s probably that vaping crap.”
