The penultimate episode of Dark side of reality TVThe inaugural season takes on one of the genre’s most massive franchises: The Real Housewives. In Tuesday’s, October 29, episode, the show featured testimonials from some of the most experienced members of the Housewives team, including The Real Housewives of Orange County stars Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough, The Real Housewives of AtlantaIt’s Cynthia Bailey, and The Real Housewives of New York star Aviva Drescher.

In the episode, the Housewives alums all reflected on some of their most iconic moments from the show. And how they feel in retrospect, and at least one of them has a grudge that might never go away.

Gunvalson, who starred in RHOC for 16 seasons, revealed in the episode that she will always hold a grudge against the network for airing a particularly sensitive part of her life: the moment she found out her mother had died.

In the episode, she returns to this moment, remembering: “We were playing Bunko at Shannon (Beadorat home), and my brother, sister, daughter and son were trying to call me, but my phone wasn’t working, so they called production. Briana had been calling and calling and calling and calling and calling, and they kept telling her, “Well, she’s filming right now, blah blah blah blah,” and she was like, “I have need to talk to my mother now. And they said, “Okay, we’ll have him call you from Shannon’s wrapping paper room.” » They had set up lights and a cameraman, and I’m like, “What’s going on?! »

As her colleagues entered the room and discovered her devastation, cameras recorded her screams of agony while the other women embraced her.

“I was really upset that production had known about it for an hour and they hadn’t told me. They crossed the line and I think they should have taken me aside and said, “Your mother died.” Talk to your daughter off camera. If I were a producer, that’s what I would have done. Let me scream and cry alone and be angry. It was very, very traumatic. I will never forgive Bravo for this.

Elsewhere in the episode, Gunvalson revealed that she didn’t pay anything for her first season on the show and only made $5,000 for season 2.
