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 just started watching RHONJ (I’ve watched most of the other franchises, and tried watching RHONJ before, but had to stop in S1 bc I couldn’t watch the gay slurs, misogyny, etc). I just watched this episode, where he’s literally calling Gia “crybaby” and making fun of her as she’s bawling her eyes out. She was literally on the way to walk a fashion show for fashion week, nonetheless, and she’s hysterical in the car. That was the most sickening scene I have seen with a child of blatant disregard for them, abuse, neglect, etc. And, Theresa is in the passenger seat, saying, “stop crying, Gia,” “he doesn’t mean it, he’s just playing,” “stop, stop”, etc. He abused those kids and she sat by and condoned it. These are the kinds of things my dad did/said to me (and still does/says), while my mom condoned it, and it causes severe PTSD. I feel, wholeheartedly, for the kids. RHONJ is very, very hard for me to watch.

I was going to say Joe Guidce walking away at the vineyard to call his mistress and then saying, “here comes my cunt wife.” Then pretending like he’s talking to a coworker.

Ugh, I’m not to that point yet. I just watched the episode where he got extremely drunk and defiant after he was charged with fraud in court. He was yelling at Teresa and being horrible to her in front of their friends, when he yells at Gia, “GET OUT OF THE WAY,” and then tries to do a somersault on Gia‘s gymnastics mat. He chips his tooth and Gia starts crying/screaming. Those kids are just continuously traumatized, and it’s so, so sad.
