All supposedly went down after the cameras stopped filming at the ’90s music-themed birthday party for Ashley’s uncle.
While filming season 4 in September, Michael made headlines when a cameraman working on the show alleged that Michael had grabbed and groped his butt during filming. The charges of felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual conduct — which carried the potential of 11 years in jail and thousands of dollars in fines — were dismissed in October due to insufficient evidence.
Earlier in the episode, the cameras did catch an interaction between Michael and an unidentified male party guest. “How you doing? Look at you, what have you been doing? Working out?” Michael told the man, gazing at his body. “You look like you’ve been working out. You’re a strong man, that’s good.”
“Oh my God, that’s f—ing hard as a rock,” he added. “I was expecting a little bit of jelly. I know I’m good looking but you’re a good looking man too, brother.”
Meanwhile, Michael was seen meeting with a producer during filming — the audio of their conversation airing on the show as well.
“I don’t think my microphone was working all night,” Michael said, to which the producer replied, “Yeah, I didn’t hear anything.”
“Thank God, because I may have said things that I might regret,” Michael quipped.

This isn’t the first time rumors about Michael’s sexuality have come up onRHOP.
“It doesn’t really faze me anymore,” Ashley toldThe Daily Dishin a recent interview. “Michael is a very opinionated person, and that rubs people the wrong way sometimes. So because he’s so opinionated and has such a voice, I feel that does make him a little bit of a target for some of the ladies and some of the fans. Now, his sexuality has never been in question for me, but more so the fact that people can take such liberties in creating stories about his sexuality.”
“I was pretty sober, and I thought, ‘I have a pretty good recollection as to what’s happening and what everyone said.’ So that really caught me off-guard because I was there, and if I didn’t hear that and I was more sober than you. Who should I really trust: my own ears or your limoncello ears?” Ashley asked.
