[Kinda too little too late]
Bravo TV is finally laying down the law with regard to issues.
1)Alcohol related training for cast and crew.
2)Psychological care
3)HR presence
Gonna unpack this:
First of all I am going to kinda go a bit off topic and you’ll see why it’s important in a minute;This hasn’t been a thing until very recently but in point of fact this short of stuff has been going on for a lot longer than most people realise.Like at least the first few seasons of The Real World. Specifically the Seattle, Return to New York and San Francisco seasons ,Seattle most famously when one cast member slapped the shit out of another.Basically, all the person who did the assaulting had to do was go to anger management classes and MTV and the production company got a lot of shit for it.
If I had a dollar for every time arguments on a Real Housewives show had almost turned into -and have-that is why at least one Potomac housewife was kicked off of the show. IMO there should be more interaction with the crew/.producers(there is a worry that that will encourage tattling but the housewives are(mostly) mature enough that they wouldn’t do that but also if there is stuff going on, they should feel like they can talk to the producers without being worried about being seen as a snitch.
And yes, psychologically that can take a toll on you.And as I said before there needs to be an open door policy-for both the cast and the crew. Alcohol doesn’t help either. A LOT of the arguments-shit, most of them-are alcohol related. Turning a blind eye to what is going on doesn’t help anything either,Neither does the..sometimes opposing attitudes of people on the show.They deliberately try to find the most opposite people as they can-and sometimes they have known each other for YEARS but then something happens. And shit hits the fan and also it creates divisions- half of the cast on one side and the rest of them on the other.
