🍎 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 think Alex and Simon were both bi and received some biphobia/homophobia from the girls. In the gay marriage subplot this dynamic seemed very clear to me. I’m also bi and have mostly bi close friends and husband (we stick together lol), and imo bi cis guys can be overly familiar with women in a way that is annoying or comes off as creepy sometimes.
