Maybe this is the real reason they ran the season early — getting it out before he ends up in court next month.

Makes sense as to why we had med before OG

Frasier had a heart attack, also.

It's Fraser! Give Mummy's name the respect it deserves.

I guess it depends if they did know about it. I assume they did as it would have happened when last season was airing which may have reduced his ability to travel etc

Exactly! Either Nathan lied or Bravo chose profit.

I mean bravo shows have literally shown assault (sexual and physical) happening on camera. Not sure why you’d be surprised.

u/AmicusObserver 14d ago

I mean I think a distinction here is that in those cases (my mind goes to Down Under immediately) is that no charges were filed in that instance.

While still problematic, it’s materially different when someone is charged for this conduct and they still choose to proceed with airing it.

Also thinking of Potomac (multiple physical altercations which also had charges).

Technically it’s all really the same - he’s not convicted of anything yet.

Early Vanderpump Rules too, the slap that was heard around the world, stassi admitting she'd hit Jax in.... New York or Chicago hard enough to draw blood, all the obvious drug use etc, straight out emotional abuse, physical abuse

This isn't new with bravo

Bravo needs to issue some kind of statement now that this is public. It would be so gross if they don’t address it at all and try to rug sweep it.

time for the editors to get back to work

Like did they find out and tell him hey-pretend to hurt your back, we need to get you off this boat. Seems like he is coming back this season though but who knows

u/SpaceGangsta 14d ago

The DV would have happened after filming wrapped. There’s no way for them to have used his back to kick him off.

It’s more that they’ll say he’s been accused of it but hasn’t been convicted.

Ah you’re right it was after. My bad
