Domestic abuse

I hope this doesn’t trigger anyone and my sincere apologies if it does.

Bravo has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, I know a lot of the shows are scripted to some level but a lot of the personalities we see are real. That being said why isn’t there more discussion around the abuse from both men and women on the shows. I’ve loved VPR from the beginning but one thing I always took issue with was how the cast was always rewarded for their bad behaviour. Schwartz in particular is the perfect example of someone who time and time again has displayed abusive behaviour towards his significant other but instead Katie gets the blame . He’s thrown drinks at her , called her unattractive when she refused to laugh at a prank that involved having a friend call the police with everything happening in the US around police brutality, and after filing for divorce and Tims kiss with with that troll doll and her finally putting some boundaries he becomes a verbally abusive , petulant man child but still Katie is in the wrong. And now he gets to go to Mars????!It just seems like a lot of these people get rewarded for their aberrant behaviour and Andy seems more than happy to go along with it. Sorry I don’t mean to rant. My 17 year old niece just mentioned something about it and it really made me sad to see how she was so quick to accept that this the social norm. Just wondering what folks thoughts are on this.

Edit: I just wanted to clarify that using Schwartz as an example in no way implies that non of the other cast members aren’t guilty of similar or worse behaviour. Also I have been dying to engage with bravo heads but I’ve always been too scared 🙈so thank you so much to folks in the thread for being engaging whilst respecting peoples opinions.
