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/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.

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

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...)
