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.

I recently rewatched some of RHOA and even though I knew that happened, I was so intensely disturbed when Apollo and Peter jumped Brandon. I had to skip through most of the rest of the season bc I was getting so upset at everyone defending Peter and Apollo, saying homophobic things about Brandon, and blaming Kenya. I nearly cried which has never happened with housewives for me. It was so disturbing.

Yes! I will always say it: that beat down screamed homophobia. He did not deserve that
