A post-mortem for Simon Barney, of sorts.
Who ever thought Season 5 of the Real Housewives of Orange County would turn out to be “all Simon Barney, all the time”? From the first episode on, Simon Barney’s emotional meltdown has been the focus. This about a guy claiming to no longer wanting to participate in the show.
Poor Tamra. Not a Tamra Barney fan, but she put up with mucho bullshit over the years. Simon certainly didn’t appreciate the truck driver with tits becoming the main breadwinner, lol! With the loss of his job at Fletcher-Jones Mercedes, he spun out of control. We saw hints of it last season, especially during “Naked Wasted”. Funny how the character traits he married Tamra for became the things he tried to change in her. Isn’t that always the way?
The Limo conversation on the way to the finale was something. I’m surprised they were able to stay together for 3 months after that. But it was real, and it let us see the impending separation.
Blaming all his troubles on Vicki Gunvalson and feeling so threatened by her success shows how fragile his little ego is. Then bitching and whining everywhere, first on his Bravo blog, then on his Facebook page, put the icing on the cake. Would we know about Eddie Judge were it not for Simon? Probably not.
He won’t appear on the reunion show, so we may have seen the last of Simon Barney. Maybe.
