I am not so sure if I was one of the women on the reunion show I would be happy that it was viewed by millions.
The behavior of these grown women was disgusting.
I wouldn't invite any of them except for Alex and Kelly to any event or gathering I was hosting.
They clearly lack manners.
Pigs in a pig sty is appropriate venue for their get togethers.

The series creator of this franchise, Scott Dunlop is a reality TV genius. RHOC has turned into Bravos biggest series bar none. IMPRESSIVE.
