Doing a rewatch of RHOC season 5.
In one of the episodes, Gretchen took Alexa Curtin out shopping, as she was concerned for her and had doubts Lynne was setting boundaries or even listening to her, and Lynne which is usually a pleasant but dull blanket flipped out. I just think now, after all these years and recent stories with someone interviewing Alexa in 2026, she has now lost fingers, is homeless and on drugs and sleeping with dangerous men and selling bric a brac to survive in Lancaster CA (a low socioeconomic desert town behind LA) I wonder if Gretchen picked up something ALL those years ago? I’m no Gretchen fan but it’s fascinating how much she picked up on this. All the other RHOC Ladies were just let it go, don’t interfere, but maybe there could have been a change to divert from the toughest life Alexa has today? And Lynne appears not to speak to her nowadays. RHOC is more than a time capsule
EDIT: I reserve my judgement on Lynne her breaking down S5 E10 when they had the claws out at Alexis Jims dungeon when she Howled she always tried to be a good mom, broke me 💔
