War of Roses: Simon and Tamera - RHOOC

You know, I don't get Tamera and Simon Barney anymore or maybe I never did. It's no surprise that shortly after announcing her concerns on her marriage survivalbility during a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, her shadow and husband, Simon made it known that he was in the process of petitioning their divorce (see here). Now he's crying the blues about his family's business being put in the streets. I can only "side-eye" his intentions because HE was the one who ultimately agreed to have his family's business told to the world when they first signed on for the show (remember Simon, Tamera can't make a decision without you approving first). Now he's threatening Bravo producers to let them breath and back the hell off but could there be more to this story? What nerve!!! Maybe he's working on damage control due to those infidelity claims he made against his wife last week; I'm sure he's hoping that it dies down.

As reported by Radar Online, "Simon says" (no pun intended):

"Hopefully Andy Cohen and Bravo will have some class and dignity and not use my wife and family for ratings.....This is a private matter and should be discussed in a court of law, not on a reality show,” Simon continued. “My entire family and especially my children have paid a very dear price for the success of Bravo's Real Housewives of Orange County. If they choose to exploit my family at this difficult time, it would be disgusting"

First Tamera's son was on Simon's shyt list and now so is she and an entire cable network who once employed him and his family. Times are hard so if I were him, I would seriously rethink biting from the hand that literally feeds you. I don't think it's fair for him to cry foul now that things have become too real for realilty televison.

Breaking up is hard to do and I kind of feel bad for Tamera only because you can see that she was trying to work on herself (and that did include daily shopping excursions) on this past season of the show. I can only be led to believe that she was projecting her lack of independence, relationship woes and financial unstability a little bit on Grecthen's new independence and sudden wealth. Karma is something else. Let's hope they work this out.
