RHOP Fans React to Ashley Darby’s Singing Skills Amid Pop Star Dreams

The latest episode of Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) aired on Sunday, sparking a heated reaction online from fans regarding Ashley Darby’s singing performance. The 36-year-old star, who recently filed for divorce from her husband Michael Darby, co-hosted an event with co-star Gizelle Bryant for their business, GNA. The event, titled Healing, Thriving, and Surviving, took an unexpected turn when Darby took the stage to showcase her pop rock music aspirations.

Ashley Darby’s ‘Pop Star’ Ambitions Questioned by Fans

At the event, Gizelle Bryant introduced Ashley as an “international pop rock star,” a label Wendy Osefo quickly dismissed with a blunt “Ashley, no.” Undeterred, Darby attempted to sing her song Healing and Thriving, but the crowd’s reaction was less than enthusiastic. Stacey Rusch admitted, “I think that took a lot of courage,” but many viewers online were far less kind.

Fans Criticize Ashley’s Voice and Singing Technique

On social media, fans didn’t hold back in criticizing Ashley’s voice, with some calling it out as a failed attempt at singing. One Twitter user, @ThatLiteWalkGuy, shared their thoughts: “Sigh. I liked the fitness event. Ashley singing? Not so much.” They also retweeted Stacey Rusch’s comment about Ashley’s effort to reach certain notes, adding, “ST@CEY!!!”

Other fans also shared their thoughts humorously, with @CryCrybaby90 posting a crying Ashley image and adding, “When there’s no autotune.” Fans like @GGMoney17 didn’t mince words, saying, “Ashley, girl, you’re tone-deaf. Find another dream.” Meanwhile, @vanita_lockhart remarked, “All I hear is Ashley ‘singing’ (while panting and laughing).”

Trying to be Candiace so bad.” Others didn’t shy away from openly criticizing, with @MrsExquisite21 tweeting, “Ashley sounds TERRIBLE #RHOP,” and @Blasian_mama adding, “Ashley’s voice sounds awful,” alongside a GIF of someone covering their ears.

Gizelle’s Over-the-Top Introduction and the Show’s Drama

The introduction by Gizelle Bryant calling Ashley a “pop rock star” seemed out of place to many, with @_Manibaebee commenting, “Gizelle calling Ashley a pop star is so funny.” Despite the mockery, it seems Ashley Darby’s music dreams are just beginning, though many feel she might need to adjust her approach.
