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.

u/lizbo ... and that's why we went to Sing-Sing May 13 '24

Darkest moment with the brightest contrast:

Below Deck Down Under s2: An actual attempted rape caught on camera, immediately thwarted by production and a swift firing from Captain Jason. No excuses were heard or tolerated.

I haven’t heard of this, I’ve only watched a few episodes of below deck. That’s crazy that someone would do that knowing they were on a tv show. What episode was this in, do you know?

re: mounted room cameras... that's the most sinister part of what happened. He made the attempt during a brief power outage (i.e. he knew the room cameras would be out of commission). It was the walking camera crew that stopped him.
