Shame and disgrace befell Michael Darby of ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ when a cameraman working on the series accused him of groping his behind without his permission.

His wife, Ashley Darby, worked tirelessly to convince viewers that the allegation was untrue and hoped the fact that her husband wasn’t jailed for the alleged crime would silence talk that he is of the predatory persuasion.

Today, her efforts have been shattered by the release of footage lifted from the very camera Michael’s alleged victim was holding when he was attacked.

On it the horrified cameraman can be heard reprimanding the businessman for touching him.

Damning, as Michael- who claimed the incident never happened when the story first broke- incriminates himself by apologising.

Welcome to a special edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s brilliant past

Here at TGJ HQ, we’ve been looking for an excuse to shine a light on the  impactful sights and sounds of T-Boz and how her art (and art inspired by her ) played an influential role in the careers of artists who now deemed to be more influential than her.

Much like Prince and Janet Jackson, the magic in T-Boz‘ voice lay in its uniquely powerful and poignant tone and her ability to carry stories without the sprawling ranges some of her peers were blessed with.

 

Criminally underrated, T’s influence can heard found of Britney Spears’ debut single ‘Baby One More Time’, Toni Braxton‘s ‘Breathe Again’ and Madonna‘s ‘Human Nature’…the first two being tracks originally penned with her in mind.
