Having a hard time watching

Absolutely. It is actually very shocking to see them all sitting around so deliberately and calculatingly cackling and positively giddy in their digs into Mary. It is absolutely amazing how malicious and spiteful people, particularly women, can be for no reason whatsoever. How miserable must their lives be for them to get such utter glee and edification from tearing down another person? Wasn't it Gandhi that said that he found it mystifying how others could find enjoyment in the degradation of their fellow human beings? These women are utterly horrendous. Although that ugly over-the-hill homely cow Jody is their ringleader, she is not solely responsible. They are all grown adults who are choosing to sit there and glean enjoyment from the derogation of another person.......the fact that they chose to align themselves with such a despicable indefensible position is very telling of their character and their ability for independent, critical thinking.

If someone on the show gave a good explanation for the Mary-hate then I wouldn't be too bothered with the ladies putting Mary down. The only problem is that we only have a few white lies Mary has told, and that doesn't justify the reactions she is receiving. Without a good explanation, Ronnie and Jody make themselves look bad while Mary seems like a victim.

Also, I'm beginning to not feel sorry for Mary. Why does she put herself in situations where she knows that she will be the target?

It's more upsetting to me that the show brought on women who fall into Jody's corner, but not women who'd be on Mary's side. Ouilia sees the BS but doesn't defend Mary. Robin is the only one and she almsost never does.

I could not agree MORE with YOU!! The stand, WE, as CIVILIZED people WITH a BRAIN,COMMON SENSE & A HEART- do NOT put up with "bullying" of ANY TYPE!! Espcially the children are taught to TELL someone they trust, parent, teacher what have you. That, THIS type of behavior is NOT a secret to carry around, live in fear etc. Yet LOOK @ THESE "refined ladies"(their words NOT myn). What a 'great example' for the children to (possibley) see a bit of or over hear, if mummy/daddy might be watching RHOV @ the time. How DOES mummy/daddy explain THAT behavior?? "Oh,that's just pretend (??) on T.V.?? Yeah, right!! NOT!!

It was interesting the reaction Robin got from Jody when she sided with Mary. That is why no one stands up for her, but it is not Jody that is at fault...it is the by-standards that give her the "power". Out of all the shows, this is the most disgusting and I have stopped watching. It just is too ridiculous to.

We have only just started getting this show in the UK which is why I'm so late in responding.

I find the picking on Mary really strange from grown women with children, jobs and homes to run.

I find Ronnie the worst because she was friends with Mary for so many years. She must know Mary's kids pretty well, so why would she want them to seeing Mary being treating in such a malicious way is beyond believe.

Ronnie would often say she thinks Mary is jealous of her. But from watching her talk about Mary, I think it is the other way round. Ronnie is an at home mum, which I know is a busy job within it's self, but not if you have housekeepers taking care of your home and cooking meals. Where as Mary has raised 3 kids and managed to have a singing career at the same time. I noticed when Ronnie was trying to start up the Rehab wine business, that she did not have a clue about anything business related. Her son didn't have a clue either and the fact he was involved in the whole thing in the first place makes me think he doesn't have anything else to do. Yet Mary's son is interning with ex-president Clinton. I think Ronnie the the jealous one and for good reason.
