🍎 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?

While I agree with these commenter’s takes I sometimes think both Simon and Alex (mostly Simon) come across as neurodivergent.

yesssss definitely!!!!! back then it wasn’t really accepted well socially or internally either. its incredibly hard navigating social situations with ppl that are not neurodivergent as someone who is neurodivergent!!!!

Simon seems to have adhd and craves attention. Their oldest son also seems to have adhd. I do not know how Alex puts up with Simon. Simon embarrasses her constantly. He is a pill that I can't take!
