Dear Mr.. Zucker:
I am writing to you in regard to one of your Bravo TV shows, The Real Housewives of Orange County.
I realize this show was created to stir up controversy and spike the ratings. I understand that and I understand “reality TV”. Once a fan of Bravo’s different and higher end programming, I found myself drawn into the Real Housewives of Orange County because I live in OC and am in that same age group. Of course it got my curiosity.
This season has brought bigger controversy, but I must tell you, I am most offended by Tamar Barney and her horrid behavior. This woman (Tamra) plotted to get another woman “naked wasted”…Has anyone heard of alcohol poisoning? I could rant on that episode alone for an hour. What about that lecherous son of Tamra’s and the incestuous behavior they display?
Tamra continually drank in excess in front of her 3 minor children while doing such things as:
 Grabbing her husband’s crotch
 Screaming to husband “show me your pubes”
 Used a fountain as a bidet in public
 Constantly drunk
 Racial slurs: African Americans, Native Americans, Gays…(to name a few)
That’s the short list. Her mean, jealous, heinous behavior have this housewife thoroughly disgusted.
In short, someone needs to take a serious look at what the likes of a Tamra Barney says about YOU and YOUR network.
Ms. Vicki Gunvalson is another story, but I don’t believe she’s nearly as damaging in general as this travesty that monikers herself “the Hottest Housewife in Orange County”.
Please, do not bring that vile creature and her disturbed (it would be another missive) son back next season – or ever.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
