The cameraman is alleging that Michael Darby, 49, "grabbed and groped" his backside in early September.

POTOMAC, Md. (AP) — Michael Darby of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” has been charged with groping a cameraman.

WRC-TV in Washington reports that the cameraman said in charging documents that the show was filming in Potomac, Maryland, on Sept. 1 when Darby “grabbed and groped” his backside.

The cameraman says in the documents charging Darby with assault and sexual contact that “as I turned around he smiled and gave me a flirtatious look.”

He told Darby to stop and then told his supervisor. He pressed charges three days later.

The 59-year-old Darby is married to Ashley Darby. Both are cast members of the Bravo show filmed in the Washington area.
