WHAT WOULD JESUS [JUGS] DO???

In an overly telling episode of RHOOC (Real Housewives of Orange County) last night, we watched the women at their best: FIGHTING.

These women are angry and you best not get in their way.



See?? I told you. That's Tamra, and girl was real angry last night on Bravo's Monday night lineup.

And ladies don't back down from a fight.



That's Vicki. She's ready for it.

The storyline of last night's episode and so far this season has been mending relationships.

Last season ended with a lot of angry words. Teresa Giudice from RHONJ (Real Housewives of NJ) sums it up best:



Thanks Teresa.

Back to RHOOC, these women have set out to mend fences with each other and move forwards. Last season these women had a lot of anger towards each other.



Tamra was very angry. (Judging by this season so far, she still is...)

And then there's the new addition of Heather Dubrow:



Heather's always giving side-eye to her castmates.



See?? And don't act like you don't know she's an actress...



Needless to say, these women have a lot of issues to get through. The issues I want to focus on today are Bullying and Jesus Jugs.

These might seem like completely unrelated themes, however they are far too close for comfort.

The cast member most at odds with the rest of the women is Alexis Bellino, photographed below:



Alexis has had a rocky start since the beginning, with many of the women accusing her of being phony, pretentious, and hiding behind her Christian beliefs.

Shortly after her addition to the cast, Tamra coined the title of "Jesus Jugs" when referring to Alexis.

This is not to be confused with the following:



Finally, last season, Jesus Jugs' castmates confronted her with their issues.



Jesus Jugs did not take well to their criticisms.



She cited their complaints as obvious bullying. With the term "bully" being such a hot button these days, this opened up the sympathy card for Jesus Jugs.

I want to start by saying that bullying is never acceptable.



That being said, I'd hardly call this situation bullying. I was bullied all throughout my childhood on the basis of being different. I was taunted, beat up, threatened, alienated, and secluded with my sadness. There were days that were too much for me. It was a hard time and I felt like I had no escape.

"Bullying" as described by the American Psychological Association (www.apa.org) is: "aggressive physical contact, words or actions to cause another person injury or discomfort..."

While I think Jesus Jugs was attacked/assaulted verbally by her castmates, I don't think it was bullying.
Bullying can be overwhelming and paralyzing. When you are paid to be a member of a Reality Show Cast, you open yourself up to criticism and ridicule. You take a home a meaty paycheck for fighting with these women. Anyone who has seen a Real Housewives of Anywhere episode knows that a large part of the franchise's lure is the FIGHTING. It's not something retained in the fine print of their contract. It's on TV for the world to know.

All of this talk of bullying and heavy topics makes me crave the good ol' days of RHOOC when we had Lynne. Lynne was mostly plastic (many procedures, some of which were documented on the series), constantly stoned, and living in another world.

Unfortunately Lynne was evicted.



Both from the series and her Newport home.

All of this said, I LIVE for these women and their fights.

The real question now is:



"What would Jesus Jugs do?"



Well, it seems she's not spreading correctly. My advice:



It works wonders, girl!

And on the topic of Jugs...
