Bronwyn 👗 Bronwyn is the Phoniest, Most Manipulative Housewife We’ve Seen in Years
I’ve known exactly who she is since the very first episode. I’ve never seen anyone try so impossibly hard (other than maybe Brittani, who is so woefully ill-equipped intellectually she doesn’t stand a chance).
Her “vulnerable” moment on the yacht was Machiavellian. She threw everything against the wall in that moment to see what would stick. She doesn’t care about any of these people or having real friends. She wants to stay on a TV show, and she can’t do that if she’s completely iced out. She seemed like a cornered animal.
She is so completely full of shit, and I hope the rest of the cast becomes wise to it and quits placating her.
I honestly can’t tell if this is good TV or annoying TV, but I think the latter. I’m so happy Jen Shah is gone, and I don’t miss her. I think Bronwyn needs to go.

u/farmerpeach 1d ago
Her drama is too convoluted to even follow.
Also what’s annoying is that she tries to play the part of the chill, goofy, above it all smart person, but she’s the most insecure and cold person out of all of them

Op is 100% mad that someone shared the Browyn post about her speaking on trans rights, and that everyone is appreciative of her.

u/PinkChip28 1d ago
What a crazy reach. Yikes. As both you and OP said in later replies, even her “haters” tend to think that her support of the trans community is “literally the coolest, best thing about her.” This post has nothing to do with her advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community, which the vast majority of bravo and housewives fans overwhelmingly appreciate and agree with.

u/Maleficent_Tiger_151 1d ago
In my short time on here I’ve seen transphobia and homophobia, heck racism and sexism too.
To act like it isn’t a thing or to be dismissive of it because “the majority of the sub is supportive” is fucking WILD.
And I stand by what I said. OP even admitted that he only made this post because there was a post about Bronwn that was getting a lot of love for her.
The only person that showed up for me in relation to what was her support for trans lives.
You may not be trans but I am and I’m not going to be shut down for any reason.
Just because you’re ignorant to the transphobia that occurs doesn’t meant it’s not there.
The only good thing I will say is the mods in the sub are doing an amazing job keeping the trash out.
At the end of the day it’s fucking ridiculous to make a post to shit on someone because other people like them. How much of a loser do you have to be to do that?

u/PinkChip28 1d ago
I read all of OPs comments on this thread and didn’t see anywhere where they said they made this post because there was “a post where Bronwyn was getting a lot of love”. And they never alluded to it having anything to do with her advocating for trans rights. Maybe it was edited after the fact, that I can’t speak to.
Transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and racism are absolutely real and this community is not immune to it. I am not trying to shut you down by any means, and I will continue to advocate for trans rights for you and all others. However, OP even commented explicitly that they considered Bronwyn’s advocacy for trans lives was the “coolest, best thing about her.”
OP is allowed to have an opinion about Bronwyn too and voice it though provided that it doesn’t contain hate speech or bigotry, which this post doesn’t. I’m sure when you watch reality shows there are people that you don’t love or rub you the wrong way too. It’s ok to discuss that on Reddit. We’re here to discuss our opinions of the show, including the behaviors and actions of the cast members.
I (mostly) like Bronwyn by the way 🤷♀️. A few things she has done have rubbed me the wrong way, but like OP her showing up for trans lives ranks at or very near the top of the things I love and appreciate about her. Just my take.

u/Maleficent_Tiger_151 20h ago
It’s funny you offhandedly mention OP maybe editing their comment after I call OP out for editing their comment?
Well you did try and shut me down with your initial comment saying people in the sub aren’t transohbic and implied because of that there’s no way OP is in the wrong. You’re doing the same thing a lot of “allies” do. You claim to be an “ally” but you refuse to listen or believe trans voices and dismiss their experiences.
And OP claims to be an ally. Doesn’t mean he is. A lot of transphobia people claim to be allies just to try and reinforce their transphbic views. “I’m an ally but that stuff should be kept away from children” “I’m an ally but trans sports players shouldn’t be allowed to play” “I’m an ally but non-passing trans people make me cringe” “I’m an ally but when I see someone I don’t like getting praise for being inclusive of trans lives I have to shit on them”.
Oh and as I said OP admitted to seeing that post and making this in retaliation.

u/PinkChip28 13h ago
With all due respect, you don’t know me. We aren’t going to get anywhere here because you keep putting words in my mouth and misrepresenting what I actually said. My take from reading your exchange with OP is that you were putting words in their mouth, too.

u/Maleficent_Tiger_151 11h ago
It’s funny how you and OP reply to me on a dead post at the exact same time.
And you both said the exact same thing.
Funny that.

We have very different definitions of funny. I don’t know OP. I replied to your reply to me 6 hours after you posted. Not exactly a dead convo. But think what you want.

u/Maleficent_Tiger_151 1d ago
Because there’s a post that’s “hot” atm about her support of trans lives and she’s getting a lot of love, even from her haters.
Clearly OP doesn’t like that so HAD to make this post.

u/Maleficent_Tiger_151 1d ago
You know “what the fuck” I’m trying to say. Stop playing a dumbass.
You’re salty that people like Bronwyn and she was getting support for being a supporter of trans lives.
So you had to make a post to diminish her in some way.
It’s pathetic.
5
u/farmerpeach 1d ago
So to be clear, your thought process is that I saw people praising her on Reddit for her genuinely awesome support of the LGBTQ community, and I felt like I needed to knock her down a peg because I disagree with her? That’s not just stupid, but it’s offensive to me. I can think she’s pretty great for supporting basic human rights, but also go online and post about her disturbing behavior.
I don’t trawl this sub the way you might. I watched the most recent episode last night, thought her behavior was abhorrent and posted about it. It’s insane of you to draw any other conclusion. It says way more about you and where you’re at.

u/Maleficent_Tiger_151 1d ago
You’re clearly not part of the community so for starters, don’t act like a victim because you’re not one.
And in your own words “I saw a post where Bronwyn was getting lots of love so I made this” a conveniently editted comment, just because you want to gaslight me into looking like the bad guy.
Even if we remove the supportive stuff, it’s fucking bottom dweller mentality to make a post to shit on someone because “other people like them”.

u/farmerpeach 1d ago
I can’t track anything that you’re saying. It’s inscrutable and all over the place. If you want to get mad at me because I’m not a fan of the same person that you’re a fan of that’s perfectly fine. But don’t leverage the plight of marginalized communities so you can dunk on someone that isn’t a fan of the same character as you.

I think Bronwyn is a tryhard but all of these women are tryhards. All of them are motivated by clout and status. Bronwyn is just not as skillful as say Lisa or Meredith at manipulating appearances. Heather and Whitney from day one have manufactured drama and manipulated the cast playing producer. All of them are trying to sell something or climb the ladder to dunk on one another. When it comes to Bronwyn I think she’s just a bit annoying and naive. She wants a spot like the rest of them she’s just not that great at the game. As Lisa Barlow said about Monica once you play all your cards, you’re out. Also, I do believe Lisa has been one way off camera to Bronwyn, offering her more support and a stronger alliance and then pulling the rug out from under her. I’d rather have Bronwyn back than Lisa. There’s more story there and definitely the potential for more growth.

I do not like Bronwyn’s personality. At the same time, I think she has been a good addition to the cast. Lisa needs a foe that isn’t Whitney.
Let’s give her at least one more season before we suggest she loses her snowflake. I think she’ll calm down a bit after the newness wears off.

Yeah that’s fair. I was thinking in the context of Jen Shah. I feel like there’s a line. I think for me what’s annoying about Bronwyn is how she pretends to be chill and goofy and above it all.
Everyone pretends to be people they aren’t on this show, and everyone is lying to themselves and others. But Bronwyn is far and away the most egregious. The gulf between who she is and who she wants us to think she is, is fucking enormous

u/Inevitable_Pack6694 1d ago
She’s been a snake in the grass from day one. Literally from the first episode she’s been a cruel and bitchy mean girl, the only problem is she fully expected Lisa to back up her bitchiness and when she didn’t she started spiralling, not just against Lisa but everyone else. And you’re right about the yacht - she must have instinctively sensed that time was running out for her to appear like a warm, emotive, well rounded person, and to get the ladies firmly back on her side and therefore secure the snowflake for next season - hence her weird speech that came out of absolutely nowhere. But at this point she’s so far gone that as soon as she built up any goodwill with that scene, she demolished it a few seconds later by claiming lisa didn’t show her enough sympathy. Exhausting!
16
u/farmerpeach 1d ago
YES! It’s absolutely unbelievable to me that people are falling for this! The yacht speech was exactly how you described it! She just went through her Rolodex of trauma trying to elicit sympathy. She wasn’t trying to make a connection, if she wanted to she wouldn’t have approached everything like this.

u/DingoNo4205 1d ago
Manipulation is Bronwyn’s survival mechanism. I’m sure she manipulated Todd into marrying her too. She thinks because she has the most money she can manipulate these ladies too. She’s working the wrong crowd. We saw what happened to Monica. The SLC OGs stick together in the end.

u/Prudent-Experience-3 20h ago
I don’t want her to go or leave, but the way she cut Britani to her core, realised that she went too far, then realised she had to snatch that scene from flop Britani, revealed Todd’s infidelity or not infidelity to browbeat the girls into supporting her, and made Britani feel sorry for her was an absolute Masterclass on manipulation.
I’m impressed, she should stay for that alone.

u/mangob0ba 1d ago
I think she's very obviously phony and desperate to secure her place on the show by getting into spats with everyone, which on its own is annoying but not the worst crime. The over the top behaviour of her fans acting like she's the second coming of Christ and she can do no wrong makes her bordering on unbearable. Maybe that's unfair but it's how I feel

u/Immediate_Detail8803 1d ago
I think part of it are paid PR campaign accounts. Accounts like this were used in the Depp/Heard trial and in the Maldoni/Lively accusations. They are expensive, and very successful at propping someone up, attacking/shutting down their opponents and shaping public opinion. They can be vicious and hurtful.
Reddit offers mods a feature to detect the AI signals but I don’t think it’s turned on in this sub - it shows.

u/hotbitch420 1d ago
Weird ass take. It’s kinda sick how you can watch a woman struggling to make friends open up to them in hopes that they will understand her more and your take away is that she’s manipulative? Have you ever had a friend? Bronwyn has done nothing besides stick up for herself and try to bond with the ladies so seeing these takes is bizarre. It’s clear you just like Lisa. You can do that without spreading disgusting and misogynist talking points.
12
u/farmerpeach 1d ago
Incredibly reductive to resort to calling this post “disgusting” and “misogynist”. How is it any of those things? Are you watching the same show? If she actually wanted to make friends, she could have handled every single interaction much differently. This is not the behavior of someone who is well-intentioned and earnest. If she’s as goofy and fun as she says, it shouldn’t be so hard to make friends.
Extremely weird to gender the desire to make friends, too. Just because you disagree with a take doesn’t make it misogynist.
0
u/hotbitch420 1d ago
Because only women get called manipulative for reacting as any normal human would. Men don’t get that label. And yes I find it extremely disgusting.
12
u/farmerpeach 1d ago
That’s preposterous. Men get that label all the time. People of all genders are manipulative! And people across the gender spectrum are called out for it. You cannot possibly be arguing in good faith that only women get that label. If you want to argue some other term, sure. Maybe I’d agree. But manipulative is applied pretty evenly.
I also think it’s very telling that you think her reaction is how any “normal” human would react. It’s also interesting that you’re the one trying to structure a normal vs. abnormal binary while using terms like disgusting and misogynist.

The Bronwyn hate train needs to stop. The constant reaching for issues is tired. Calling her most manipulative when on that same cast we have Heather who is constantly lying. Jen Shah is in jail for actually manipulating people and I'm not even going to mention other franchises.
But seriously she's a housewife : messy, shady, too much, rich and a bit self centered.

I said it episode 1 and got downvoted. She came in ready to manipulate. She tried super hard to ruin friendships and get number on her side but everyone is loyal to queen bee Lisa. Between the dog bite lies and then going back on Todd cheating I’m good with her. She makes for a great watch but I wouldn’t be her friend especially with her need for Lisa approval and backup.

slc local here! my mom hangs in a lot of the same circles as the rhoslc cast (she even has the same brow lady as angie k lol), and we have ran into bronwyn on a few occasions. she has done a TON of philanthropy within the slc area and actively funds a lot of the arts here (ballet west, the hogle zoos conservation efforts, drag out the vote, etc.). every encounter we have had prior to her joining the cast has been nothing but warm and kind, so these reddit posts do nothing but make me laugh. in comparison with the other housewives, bronwyn actually puts her money where her mouth is. the show does a bad job of conveying how the housewives act outside of the cast circle.
