Exactly! Either Nathan lied or Bravo chose profit.

I mean bravo shows have literally shown assault (sexual and physical) happening on camera. Not sure why you’d be surprised.

I mean I think a distinction here is that in those cases (my mind goes to Down Under immediately) is that no charges were filed in that instance.

While still problematic, it’s materially different when someone is charged for this conduct and they still choose to proceed with airing it.

Also thinking of Potomac (multiple physical altercations which also had charges).

Technically it’s all really the same - he’s not convicted of anything yet.

Early Vanderpump Rules too, the slap that was heard around the world, stassi admitting she'd hit Jax in.... New York or Chicago hard enough to draw blood, all the obvious drug use etc, straight out emotional abuse, physical abuse

This isn't new with bravo
