Rewatching Season 1 :: I still can’t get over Paul skipping Adrienne’s uncle’s funeral to go film at a bar. 🚩
I’m doing a classic Season 1 rewatch, and this specific storyline hits so differently looking back.
When Adrienne’s uncle passed away, she stayed behind from the NYC trip to grieve and support her mother. Meanwhile, Paul didn’t stay by her side or lay low out of respect
he went out to a bar to film a scene with the other franchise husbands.
At the time, they tried to laugh off their constant bickering as "just their dynamic," and Paul’s excuse was that he was just trying to fulfill his filming obligations and stay out of the family's hair. But honestly? Being a supportive spouse during a family death is a non-negotiable baseline. Showing up on camera with "the guys" while your wife is consoling her grieving mother looked incredibly cold and totally exposed the deep, business-minded disconnect in their marriage long before the actual divorce.
It completely foreshadowed how separate their lives actually were behind closed doors.
Am I overreacting, or was this one of the biggest, most overlooked red flags in early RHOBH history? Let’s discuss.
