This is so, so sad. And so, so not surprising, given the stress that shows about psychotic ‘real’ housewives can cause.
Think about it. You have cameras following your family around, documenting all the terrible things they do because money creates a huge disconnect from reality. They pick up all the dirt, exaggerate the problems that are already there, and can drive a person insane. Have you ever been around a woman that cares about nothing except money? That’s enough to hurl yourself off a cliff.
So the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is one of Bravo’s latest spin-offs of their highly successful Housewives series, where people all over the world can see what it’s like to be a barely-functional trophy wife living a life that they don’t necessarily deserve. See Kelsey Grammar’s wife, who is constantly trying to make statements about him to the press to get attention for herself. Occasionally, they’ll even see the women on these shows driving the men that made their lifestyles possible insane – a situation which happened when the husband of one of the prominent cast members, Taylor Armstrong, kill himself.
Apparently Russell Armstrong was siphoning off money from his business to make his family appear rich enough to be on the show. His wife divorced him last month and publicly accused him of abusing her. Story is still developing. But sad stuff.
