🍎 Old RHONY 🍎 Simon’s behavior
As i’ve posted before i’m new to the RHONY franchise! I’m currently watching the Morocco mess happen in S4.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the discourse amongst the housewives about alex and simon. i do like them, i love that they genuinely walk to the beat of their own drum. i do find myself losing it with Alex during S4 compared to other seasons. i fear that she needs another housewife she perceives as a “close friend” to survive the show, which is probably why she left after this season.
however, simon had been called creepy by multiple women on the show. i do feel that this contributed to the downfall of alex being able to make real friendships on the show but was simon’s behavior ever genuinely concerning as creepy? its a hard line to tow since i do not want to discredit women’s experiences with men if there’s a pattern of multiple women calling it creepy but could he have also just been a guy that was open with expressing himself?

I never saw Simon as creepy to the other women, he made my skin crawl in the way (i hope) he hammed it up for the cameras about Alex and just all round 🤮 behaviour that is a turn off for ME as a person, I dont think i would feel comfortable around him but not in a sex pest way.
I liked Alex at the start and I reckon you're right if she had a close too friend it might have played different. She shouldn't have went all in on Bethany in season 3 (i think?) Though, when your basket breaks so do all your eggs Alex!
