One of the biggest storylines in this season of RHOP is continued harassment allegations against Ashley Darby's husband, Michael. In the first season of the show, Michael was accused of groping Katie's now ex-fiancé Andrew Martin, which Andrew himself said was all in good fun. 

In subsequent seasons, Michael was accused of making lewd comments about cast members' husbands, and it all came to a head during a party in Season 4.

Michael was accused of groping a cameraman for the show during a party scene that was filmed on September 1. The party was held at cast member Monique Samuels' house, and she claimed that her extensive security cameras did not catch any footage of the alleged groping, which was convenient for her pal Ashley. 

But production did catch some audio from the incident, where an unknown voice (who is allegedly the cameraman) can be heard telling Michael to stop and that what Michael had just done wasn't okay.

The audio is damaging to Michael's case, which Ashley had said was thrown out for insufficient evidence. But Katie later claimed that the audio was not actually between Michael and the cameraman, and that it was actually between Michael and a friend. She said the Truly Original Production members who work on the show should be fired for trying to allege that a sexual assault occurred on camera with manufactured audio.

Someone asked Katie on Instagram if she would be returning to RHOP next season, and she responded that she was going to work on other projects. She went on to say that:

"[I] would never allow them [the production company] into my home after seeing what they have done unless they changed their policies and practices. Faking footage that implies a sexual assault occurred is offensive and jumps the shark. Bravo should fire them."

Andy Cohen himself apologized for the error on Watch What Happens Live, saying "I want to first start with a correction. On last Sunday’s Watch What Happens Live, we aired the Potomac unseen footage. We mistakenly attributed a quote to the cameraman, when in fact, there was no attribution made when the episode originally aired in its entirety. We sincerely apologize for that error." 

Katie wasn't done putting production on blast, though. She posted again on Instagram about the production errors. She also claimed that the show portrayed her in a negative light by showing clips of her looking unkempt and failing to keep footage of her opening up about her difficult custody battle. She says that her appearance was due to the stresses of dealing with her ex-husband, but that production wouldn't allow that part of her interviews in for the final cut of the show.
