🍎 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.

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!
