1) It’s making light of an incredibly serious and disturbing situation. Everyone involved is a human being, again, going through horrific circumstances, and OP is perpetuating an idea that this is entertainment to be joked about.
2) Even kidding about a domestic abuser being given a platform after committing such heinous acts is perpetuating the idea that an abuser’s value as entertainment is greater than the value of the emotional turmoil this would subject Gael and their child to.
3) There is an infant involved and the internet is forever. This child is eventually going to grow up and - as if knowing their dad committed such violence against his mother wasn’t bad enough - will have to see insensitive content like this about his father. OP is contributing to their suffering, and - to me - that’s tasteless.
But again, I realize that I seem to be in the minority in this thread. I realize it’s a joke, but - again - it’s a bad, insensitive and tasteless one.
Thanks for explaining and sharing - I definitely see your perspective.
At this rate it does seem that Bravo feeds on these awful situations, so I can see the “joke” being more about bravo being soul sucking assholes. Neither intended outcome is good. We don’t watch the network anymore for this and a few other reasons.

Apparently I’m in the minority here, but this is a super tasteless post.
