Oh just stop Braunwyn. You are an embarrassment. No one believes anything you say! You are suddenly an alcoholic with no rehab at all. Now you are gay? You have given birth to eleventeen kids. Clearly , you have been fucking men. ARE YOUR REALLY THIS DESPERATE TO BE ON TV? I don’t think there has ever been a thirstier housewife in the history of Bravo. Sit the fuck down.
Of the two of them I would have thought her husband would have come out as gay, but since we’ve had a few other housewives come out as lesbians until they weren’t anymore, I’ll just take this as a potential story line to stay on the show.
I just got a Google alert on this, and I knew I had to come here. I really don’t want to hate for Braunwyn for coming out. It’s just that, as you just pointed out, this feels a little too “strategically timed”.
Again, I don’t want to attack Braunwyn over however she and Sean have decided to proceed with their relationship. It’s just that none of their shit makes any sense.
Am I a horrible person for wondering if Braunwyn saw Elliot Page’s announcement and decided this is a perfect time to piggyback on that?
Nope. Gay is the new black. (fashion statement not race). Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. I was in college and made out with tons of girls. And yet, I am not gay. And this whole thing pisses me off.
This! I did the same thing and yet here I am, straight as an arrow.
It’s no secret that as a couple they have engaged in threesomes. I’m just waiting for some random guy to step forward with “allegations” that he had relations with the husband.
As for Braunwyn, I guess she’s no longer… drunk-ma-tized or dick-ma-tized.
Thank you. That’s it, that’s all.
Why is she coming out as lesbian rather than bisexual? That would at least make her seem more credible
I was rooting for Braunwyn when she first came forward with her struggles with alcohol, but as RHOC went on I really don’t find her sincere..now this? Can they just cancel RHOC? Or at least recast everyone?
Best Title Ever T.T.!
So sick of this Braunwyn chick!
She IS exhausting. Next it will be that she is a man / she is he.
No wonder all her kids are so f-Ed up.
If she has never been attracted to men, then why would she repeatedly sleep with her husband and produce 9 kids?
Actually, I feel bad for her husband. Not only is it humiliating, it has to be painful to hear your partner of years publicly state that they have never been attracted to you. Or did he know? I believe there is a way to “live your truth” and be honest while still taking into consideration how it will affect your husband and children.
What does Sean do for a living? Maybe they are hard up for money and this was a way to protect her career/money to help support all those kids. I think that’s why he went along with it.
Her/their storyline is one of the weirdest, kinda uncomfortable ones.
I wish she’d get her life and family together before taking a chance of damaging everyone more by putting it on the housewives.
Cosign 1000%. Stfu Braunwyn and stop pimping your kids. A storyline where you check your POS “Motger” would be better. She’s so awful.
I hate to sound like I’m skeptical of her coming out bc I really do believe in everyone living their truth, but I also suspect that in a few years when her relationship with her girlfriend fizzles out, she’ll say she was only a lesbian for her and while she’s still attracted to women, she identifies as straight. I feel like this is contrived and that she’s mirroring her life off of self help books. Also, I feel bad for her husband. She says repeatedly she wants to stay married to him, but what about what he wants? he seems like he’s been totally devoted to her and she comes across as selfish.
THANK YOU I COULDN’T OF SAID IT BETTER!!! I’ve read other posts supporting her and saying how great she is, I get angry because something is off and it is so pathetic… I think its all bullshit.
If u watch she has said at different times 3 different people went to her 1st AA meeting. She thanked capt sandy then it was lala for getting her sober she cant keep track of the lies.. And if any of it is true think about your children and husband your putting this on tv and a million interviews. And if true the husband who supported u for 20years he is just gross now sorry only liked your dick when black out drunk, there is no reason to tell the world. 1st season on that double decker bus she was caught lying calling old cast members like Gretchen or something trying to get on show or to use as a story line and they sent emily the texts (who by the way i love this season, in previous I didn’t like her or Gina now they’re my faves) would love to know the real story about her life and her moms.
She’s a desperate housewive. She is over board on bringing the drama and causing scenes to make air time.
Done with her and this entire franchise of Orange County. Dump them all and start over, except for Gina. Keep Gina. Emily and her stink face. Elizabeth is trying to hard and comes off as fake. Shannon is the worst! Kelly doesn’t deserve to be around other human beings. And Braunwyn just learned that being an alcoholic is a disease and an illness. So when Gina commented that she should leave the show and get professional help, she dropped that story line and went with, “I’m a Lesian”?
You took the words right out of my mouth TT, the first thing I thought was thirst.
This inauthenic woman is being pushed on us by Bravo. The sobriety storyline is so stupid. There is no way someone who downs drinks every 15 minutes would not need to be on a medical come down with a medical detox. Otherwise she could go into DT’s, seizures or possible cardiac problems. She doesn’t like us and she doesn’t like living in Newport Beach? Why offend us by being here? She moves family here and now exploits them, has this vow renewel when she loves a woman instead. and Has 7 children by a man she is not attracted too and now says she’s a lesbian, not bi-sexual. She travels around during a pandemic for publicity and to go visit other housewives? Who minds the children? the two nannies? No wonder her children are a mess. Word on the street is, she is trying to get her own show so all this made up bull shit is all for her own spin off show.
I totally get where her coming out may seem disingenuous. And, as a lesbian who was married to a truely lovely man (together over 10 years), I left so that I didn’t become an alcoholic. Drinking made sex with someone I loved, but wasn’t attracted to, tolerable.
She is someone who grew up in a stressful, very alternative household and wanted the security of being married & having a bunch of kids. In 2020, when she got married, legal marriage for same sex couples wasn’t an option. I certainly know folks who built strong partnerships & had kids during the early 00s (I’m a little bit older than her), but it definitely wasn’t common. And getting pregnant the old fashioned way is hella easier.
She may be an attention seeking weirdo. She also might be a woman who walked out of her childhood home damaged, married a friend, numbed herself with alcohol & parenting & is just now getting her shit together. I also get why she & get husband aren’t getting divorced. They have seventy million children. If they can work out a way to live in the same house & be in a relationship that works for them, it’s definitely practical. Families look a lot of different ways.
I may be projecting too much of my own experience on her. But leaving my husband & coming out was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. And I’m grateful I did it every day.
Thank you for the eloquent and thoughtful comment Lolajanegyrl! For some reason Braunwyn and Sean (Seanwyn?) have been in my thoughts a lot. I wonder if this was a case of two gay kids who were drawn to each other because they didn’t feel comfortable living their truth. I suspect a Sean announcement can’t be too far behind.
Where they lose me is putting this all on national TV. They have 7 kids – in the best of circumstances, those kids would be fighting for attention. Now they have to be overshadowed by their mom’s sobriety and sexuality journey on a national stage? On a show where conflict is the point, and doubt will be cast on Braunwyn’s issues?
I feel like Seanwyn are very lovely people who I would really like in real life. But I sincerely worry about their children. We should all live our truth – but there is something to be said about discretion and timing. Yes it is brave to show your children to stand and be who you are – but you can’t focus on your children at a time in their lives when they most need you, when you are making the interview circuit with your new girlfriend.
There is real darkness behind the scenes here. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas is also vaguely disturbing to me. Gina’s domestic abuse being on blast – Emily’s barely functional marriage… I dunno man. I love me some trash TV but this one feels like we are exploiting people who don’t know better. It’s like a whole cast of Lynne Curtins.
Thank you for sharing. I have definitely been very critical of her. I do stand by my gut feeling, but I do appreciate hearing another person with a similar experience. Everything she is going through could be very real, it just comes across in an attention seeking way.
She’s a thirsty, attention seeking, fake-woke, dry drunk, who Bravo has made the new OC “it girl” for some god-awful reason (I guess because her issues are all “so 2020”. So tired of posers these days I could puke.
I mean, I never thought I’d say this….but I miss Vicki. Getting her foot-in-mouth reactions to all of Braunwyn’s craziness, would have actually been pretty funny.
This cast doesn’t seem to like each other, or even really know each other. So it just feels very contrived. More so than usual. And the last couple of seasons have felt very produced, so that’s saying a lot.
I agree that it my be time to put OC out of its misery.
I am not going to throw her new life “revelations” under the bus, but it is fishy that this all came to a head this season. This seasons cast is so disjointed, it’s like sitting at a really uncomfortable family dinner. I think an OC revamp is in order.
Has anyone noticed how much thinner Braunwyn’s daughter Rowan looks this season compared to previous ones?? I know Braunwyn mentioned her daughter’s past struggles with an eating disorder and she looks like she’s headed down that path again. I certainly hope not.
Computer says No Braunwyn, after 20+ years with a man and 10 children later. Girl, reroute. Vicki was right about the thirst level, goodness. Hope you are doing well TT and feeling better, I would love to nap until 01/01/2021 and wake up to a better/brighter world but reality. Sending hugs in abundance.
I totally agree that there’s something inherently not believable about Braunwyn and even as we watch her profess to “live her truth” there seems to be something inauthentic about it all. It’s not lost on me that we are talking about a Real Housewife of the OC, so the bar would be set high to expect authenticity. It feels like all we see with Braunwyn is a facade. Yet, I do believe she’s deeply troubled. I even believe that she’s been using alcohol to mask whatever it is she’s been hiding from for what appears to be most of her life. Watching her, I get the sense she has a lot of trauma in her past beyond just her mom being “wacky,” completely unsupportive, and in and out of her life. I think there’s something deeper and darker. With her husband and his statement necklaces, I can’t even. He clearly is still searching for his identity. Which is what I think (if she’s not 100% full of shit) she’s trying to do. I thought I’d hate OC without Vicki and Tamara and to be honest, (OC has never been high on my Bravo list even with them) I am however, kind of drawn into the darkness of the current group. Seems like maybe there’s something there with this group. Aside from Kelly Dodd and her Fox news beau. I imagine her as one of those people with no inner monologue, just dead silence. Bye Felicia.
Thank you! I’m so over Brawnwind’s dumb ass. She had a lame first season and has made up tons of crap to be on the show. First off her dogging the other girls for having small houses when they actually work annoys me. Second being a gay man myself if she’s a lesbian that’s fine but if she is she is dragging her husband through some bs and needs to let him and his wealth go. I hope Bravo cuts her.
