Oh. My. GOD - literally! On my @PerezHilton YouTube show today... Taylor Swift Is Anti-Christian? Religious Folks Upset At Her New Album! Poor Bethenny Frankel! Celine Dion Is Back! And more! Watch HERE: https://youtu.be/6lJ3WU1gvM4
The article tried to address Scandoval as a media phenomenon, maybe even jump on the bandwagon of Bethenny Frankel’s Reality Reckoning.
But it failed, because what everybody’s talking about, is the comments Tom Sandoval made in the interview, which pointed to another issue with the Bravoverse:
Bravo’s problematic approach to diversity and their dealings with racism.
He compared Scandoval to the murder of George Floyd and the trial of O.J. Simpson, which is a bizarre comparison to say the least.
The journalist, Irina Aleksander questioned if the experience of the backlash that followed the cheating scandal had made him lose perspective.
Why would he think it’s a good idea to compare the cheating scandal to the murder that sparked the Black Lives Matters movement?
In season 9 he also complained because he as a straight man couldn’t yell at a woman. A woman could yell at a woman, a gay man could yell at a woman.
Ariana Madix didn’t like that conversation at all. She was rolling her eyes and said:
“Tom, you sound real #mensrights right now, and it’s kinda gross to me.”
It seems like it’s a pattern with Sandoval.
He’s very self-righteous, everybody else are wrong, and he will use every argument to justify himself.
It seems like Sandoval is desperately trying to make people feel bad for him. To realize that he’s hurt too.
That he’s a victim in this scandal also.
But it backfires because of his ignorant and unintelligent comments that’s only meant to shock and cause outrage.
Guerdy Abraira had a strong reaction to his comments and ranted on social media:
“It’s gotta be addressed. I don’t know if it’s for shock value. I don’t know what’s going on up there, but it’s not okay.”
In an interview with Los Angeles Times, Ariana said that she was “blown away by how anybody could say something so awful.”
She also mentioned that she was disturbed by how the article showed that Bravo intervened to restrict further access to him.
Ariana is understandably mad, and she’s allowed to question if there’s special treatment at Bravo.
