Over a month after Ashley Darby confirmed she and husband Michael Darby were calling it quits on their marriage, the Real Housewives of Potomac cast member posted a stunning selfie on Instagram, along with an empowering message.

And after the post was shared, Ashley's RHOP co-star, Gizelle Bryant, reacted.

According to Bravo's The Daily Dish, Ashley's image was taken at a charity event, which seemingly prompted her to reflect on life.
“The woman in this photo looks the part of glitz and glamour, but what’s not visible are the countless people who have helped me along this journey,” she wrote in the caption of her post. “Strangers who generously helped my family at different stages had no idea who I could become, but their generosity invested in my potential."

"People will be quick to assume that the causes were too much intrusion by reality TV into the most personal parts of our lives, age gap issues, cultural problems, or child-rearing differences. Pieces of all these may have affected our pure love for each other, but no one reason is the root cause of our mutual decision to go our separate ways. We are now both at very different stages in our lives and have different goals for our futures. We both want the other to achieve true happiness and fulfillment and feel that we cannot do this together," she said.
The seventh season of The Real Housewives of Potomac is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year.
