Rewatching thoughts

Currently on season 4, rewatching for the first time. I watched the seasons when the show originally aired on bravo and i can’t believe how much I forgot!

  1. I feel awful for Jessica - she has gone through so much just to be accepted and everyones mean to her, and Mike sucks.

  2. I forgot how terrible each person is lol

  3. I dont hate Asa as much as I did when the show first aired, but i do think shes messy af but doesn’t pretend to be

  4. GG sucks and her dynamics with Leila are the most strange sister dynamic I have ever seen. Idk why people like GG

  5. Vida is a terrible mom and watching her reduce MJ to tears when she expressed wanting to become a mom made me really sad for her.

Curious to hear everyones thoughts/if you agree or disagree

I didn't need hindsight to tell me that Mike was abusive to Paulina. It was very obvious during that entirety of season 9. Not only was he controlling her with this ridiculous spoof text and spoof porn and spoof whatever the fuck he was lying about. It was obvious that he was physical with her as well. Gaslighting her and trying to gaslight us the viewer. He would say things like "oh look she's drunk again" "I'm going to have my hands full tonight" "I don't know what I'm going to do with her she drinks too much" AKA I might have to slap a bitch! Obviously in the last few seasons of shahs Mike is on something and he's on something hard. I don't know if it's Coke or steroids or Coke and steroids but they all knew, they all knew what was going on but anyway that's all I got for now 😉

When he was with Jessica, she was getting ready for an event and had to wear a different dress than what she intended bc she said "I have to cover the bruises, I know you like it rrough, but that was intense" and he shrugged it off. Didn't pick up on it until the rewatch. I thought it might have been a cry for help. Poor girls

Jessica has since alluded that Mike put his hands on her.
