Stacey Rusch’s Divorce Confirmed By Court Documents
The ladies of The Real Housewives of PotomacGizelle and Ashley in particular, may owe Stacey Rusch a big apology. After weeks of whispers, side-eyes and accusations of forged paperwork, TMZ has officially confirmed that Stacey's separation of her husband, Thiemo Rusch, was the real one deal.
According to TMZcourt documents show Stacey and Thiemo's marriage legally ended last year. A final decree was entered on December 16, 2024. Thiemo reportedly filed for divorce earlier that month, stating that the couple, who married in Germany in 2007, had been separated since August 2023.
Stacey revealed RHOP that she and Thiemo rekindled their romance during a family Christmas trip to Mexico with their daughter Arabella. While on the trip, she learned that the divorce was finalized. Ironically enough, that closure became the spark for a new beginning. The timeline is checking out, but that didn't stop her castmates from screaming pet on camera.
If Well done reports, Ashley Darby and Gizelle Bryant led the charge in questioning Stacey Rusch's legal status. They suggest that their so-called “receipts” looked fabricated. Gizelle even went so far as to have Stacey “go on an app and create” her divorce papers. Meanwhile, Ashley pointed out that she could find no record of the divorce in public databases. She said the whole situation was “not cleared up.”
To clear her name, Stacey Rusch came to Angel Massie's Truth & Tranquilitea Party ready for war. She offered up-to-date legal documents and a calm slap.
“We broke up, and we're getting back together,” she said, putting the rumors to rest once and for all.
This season, Stacey's storyline has taken fans on a roller coaster ride. Stacey navigates her split and a messy divorce from Thomas “TJ” Jones (who later claimed she paid him to appear on the show) and discovers love with her ex-husband. Whether her co-stars like it or not, the receipts are real, the papers are filed, and Stacey Rusch is officially divorced…and happily reconciled.
It looks like the #RHOP newcomer has just received the ultimate confirmation.
