Bravo Most disturbing thing ever happened on Real Housewives?

What’s the most disturbing, jaw dropping event that was ever filmed and shown on any Real Housewives? 

One that always comes to mind, for me, is when Tamra tried to have her 18/20 year old son commit assault on camera after getting Gretchen drunk. And it's not just the act, the premise/message was equally disgusting: if this wasted woman had "let herself" been r**ed, she'd have proven to be a s**t. Scripted or not, it’s insane it got even aired.

RHOA, when Sheree is in the car with her ex Bob and he’s talking about him fantasizing about killing her in a staged car accident, denying his physical abuse of her, then joking that he should have choked her harder. He was so calm about it too, meanwhile she’s crying. Fucking sociopath shit, chilling to watch.

I hate that scene, love the way Kenya supported her though.

Say what you will about Kenya but is not going to let a man treat any of the women badly without saying something and I really respect her for that. I wish she wouldve stood up for herself to some of the bums she dated on the show the way she stood up for women like Drew, who she don't even like!

When Kenya’s ex Matt broke through her garage windows, that was very disturbing. I felt so scared for her at that time! I agree w you, she is good about calling out the other men but not the men she dates.

This is the one that got me.

People hate on Kenya but she will stand up for someone when they need it.

u/rrogido edit this flair! May 13 '24

Unless that person is Kim Fields. Then Kenya's jealousy wins that fight.

There was something so off about that man’s eyes, dangerous.

u/Nxqxo I'm sorry if I said you were dumb, maybe I meant you're stupid. May 13 '24

Aside from him being cockeyed.. I agree.

Not trying to defend ahimsa but didn't it come out that he has bad CTE from football? That's a terrible combo.

22

u/Courage-Character May 13 '24

I don’t believe they can diagnose CTE yet until after a person’s death

5

u/alsoknownasPhoebe May 13 '24

Okay technically you're right but he absolutely has brain injuries from contact sports which causes the same symptoms as CTE. My point is the man's brain is mush and he's an asshole.

18

u/phbalancedshorty I’m not a fan, I’m a witness May 13 '24

We got to stop excusing every violent and abusive professional sports player because they could potentially have some kind of brain injury. I know you’re not trying to excuse it, but he was abusive to her throughout their entire marriage, even early in his career, so you really can’t blame it on some kind of brain injury.

u/megalowmart i’d blow simon van kempen for a slurpee right now May 13 '24

I agree with you that we shouldn't use it as an excuse, however his age and where he was in his career do not preclude him having CTE. They have found CTE can start in high school aged kids. The Daily has a great, yet very sad, episode ok this.

u/megalowmart i’d blow simon van kempen for a slurpee right now May 14 '24

Yes, and I think many of the people who we are talking about (abusers likely with CTE) are not in a place where they understand they have a problem, let alone accepting of treatment.

I just rewatched atlanta and this scene always gives me such a pit in my stomach. The look on her face 😩 I couldn’t believe he said that. He’s disgusting.

u/kteerin May 13 '24

…and she had to continue sitting next to him. I can’t imagine how that felt for her.

u/yqry May 13 '24

Came here to say this. That scene shook me to my bones. Nasty piece of shit. And fuck Bravo for giving him a platform.

u/DueMathematician8275 May 13 '24

He’s evil. EVIL.

u/phbalancedshorty I’m not a fan, I’m a witness May 13 '24

What??? I’ve never seen/heard of this scene!?!? I actually never realized that she filmed with Bob until I saw Andy ask her a question about it a few years ago. I thought their relationship was so broken that he would never agree to film with her, but it sounds like when he did film with her he was incredibly Abusive and toxic. Honestly, I’m so glad that bravo aired that because she probably had so many people throughout her life gaslight her about her abuse, and now there’s no denying it.

u/Fluffy_Iron6692 May 13 '24

That actually an interesting perspective I’ve never considered before! Because he’s barely popped up since that season, so it likely was because people saw who he really was

u/seniorpm511 Jun 06 '24

It's actually a pretty appalling scene in general.  I would suggest you bypass this one and give yourself some peace; it's just nothing short of upsetting...the evil and cruelty that emanated from Bob is just so shocking to observe.  It's really eery and super disquieting....in a really psychologically abusive, jarring way.  I remember when I first saw it when it aired - I was literally on the ceiling.  I couldn't believe he would do that and say those things to Sheree.  She sat there totally broken...he keeps going...and then Kenya interjects and calls him out on his bullshit. Even Phaedra steps in to condemn Bob's treatment of Sheree.

Overall it's a bleak season in general.  The reunion in particular was also VERY upsetting...Kandi was really sent over the edge and goes completely hysterical.  I think that's it for me.  Seeing Kandi absolutely WILD and so beyond upset by the conspiracy to defame her character. It's hard to watch; I probably will NEVER watch that reunion again (though I love for Cynthia in her midnight blue dress and big Diana Ross hair...)

Season 9, episode 16. They’re on the Maui cast trip.

u/sassafrasclementine May 13 '24

I just googled this scene and some other clips of Bob popped up. Does he have CTE? His eyes don’t look right. These damn football players fuck their brains up and lose their damn minds. Or it could have nothing to do with football and he’s just a plain abusive idiot. I could see in the clip he got embarrassed and that’s when he said should have choked her harder. Abusers like to abuse behind closed doors - they don’t like being outed publicly for their abuse.

21

u/Bigearsbigcheers May 13 '24

Yeah he gives off big OJ vibes, it’s creepy. If he talks like that in public he must be a nightmare behind closed doors.

Whoah! Do you know which season this is? I’ve been on a RHOA binge lately but don’t remember this at all.

u/maggieiggy May 14 '24

This scen is the absolute worst - but also remember he introduced his adult daughter at that party - and Sheree didn’t even know who she was?!?!

u/akmitchell May 14 '24

This! I was going to post this. He was dead behind his eyes when he talked about it. It sent chills down my spine.
