At the reunion Kelly brings this up and says its illegal.
Its this false concern about Emilys threats that really get my goat.
Just look at her.
What the women see here is not a threat, but an opening.
What theyre really worried about is either looking bad or, even worse, losing an argument.
Obviously both of these women reacted disproportionately to what happened that night.
Like Kelly always says, when someone throws a bomb, she throws a nuke.
Yeah, I might have gone over the edge, but I didnt threaten to kill anyone.
Yeah, Emily did technically, but did shereally?
We saw the same thing play out on this past weeksReal Housewives of Dallasreunion.
At the reunion, Cameron says shes mad because it shows disrespect for people who have fertility issues.
That is faker than the diamonds on the sleeves of Carys shockingly ugly reunion dress.
We saw the same sort of behavior with Brandi and LeeAnne in Dallas.
Was it that bad?
Shannon talks to her therapist every day and Tamra multiple times a day.
Her emotions are more processed than an entire truckload of Twinkies.
Maybe she just needs a hobby or a job that keeps her a little bit busier.
I dont have time to feel as much as Shannon does.
If you dont believe me, just look at how Shannon talks about having a fun time in Jamaica.
Even when talking about fun the emphasis isnt on the triumph, but the setbacks.
That is why Tamra says that talking to her is exhausting and emotionally draining.
As exhausting as it is for us, imagine how exhausting it must be forher.
I think we need to start a bake sale to raise enough money to give Shannon a day off.
Its a breakthrough for both of them.
Tamra should charge $250 an hour.
Things dont go as well for Gina and Shannon, and to a lesser extent Shannon and Emily.
I really do sympathize with Gina on this one.
Ginas problem is that she wants Shannon to be accountable for her actions.
I dont disagree with her.
That is an awful way for Shannon to behave.
That is why Gina brought up the women talking about Shannons mental health.
It wasnt to be cruel or stir the pot (P.S., when did pot-stirring become a capital offense?
), it was because she wants to help and be a good person.
But that is not what this game is about.The Real Housewivesis not the humanity Olympics.
It is not a team sport.
It is a bunch of individual competitions masquerading as a group activity.
I totally agree with Gina, Shannon should behave like a reasonable, kind, sensitive person.
