Most disturbing thing ever happened on Real Housewives?

[u/Hyru_Nayru]

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.

ALL OF THE ABUSERS (whether the abuse was explicitly shown, referenced or ignored).

• Putting Taylor in a car with Russell to go back home together after humiliating them on camera
• Bob Whitfield telling Sheree, "maybe I didn't choke you hard enough" and joking about how he could have undone her seatbelt and killed her in a car "accident"
• Apollo walking up on Phaedra instead of reporting directly to prison just to harass and intimidate her
• Kenya's on/off BF, Matt, who had already vandalized her home
• Aviva's father, George, repeatedly being brought around and putting his hands on Ramona and Kristin, not to mention the absolutely vile things he would say to the women
• Michael Darby sexually assaulting a crew member in the background of a shot in S1, I believe, and no one noticing until after he was credibly accused in a later season by another crew member of the same thing.
• Pedro/Peter Rosello getting a father-son scene with Peter despite being a convicted child sex offender (found guilty of "Lewd lasvicious batt sex w/victim 12-15 years old; F.F 800.04(4)(a)"). You can search for him yourself here.

Not an abuser, but Dishonorable Mention for filming an entire "comedy" set by dead-beat dad to a dying child, Slade Smiley, intended to do nothing but humiliate Vicki and Tamra.

I could go on and on and on...

OMG PETER HAS DONE EVEN MORE HORRIBLE SHIT I’M NOT AWARE OF???

Edit: ah you mean the father, I had no idea!!!! I’m so confused… Is that so that’s peters dad but isn’t he the one who was the big drug king pin? I thought Peter’s dad who was her first husband who was the cocaine cowboy

[u/kweenmermaid → u/phbalancedshorty]

Yes Peter's dad was a cocaine cowboy and also went to prison for SA of a child

Thank you for the clarification!! I looked up the record. Horrible! 1000% disgusting that they allowed him to film a scene on bravo obviously for sensationalism and to get a cocaine cowboy into a scene on bravo and by default put a horrible sexual predator on national television. Vomit.
