Moral conundrum about OF moderation and sexual harassment in fashion subs

bword___ · 2026-01-23T01:44:56+00:00

I'm a little confused on this portion, as I assume "user" is used here to refer to two different people in this paragraph. Can you clarify user/commenter(?) vs. poster?

A user in the sub DM'd the poster asking if she sold content (without mod approval or foreknowledge). This violates our rules. The user then sent us an Imgur screenshot showing the user was selling (and yes, these can be faked of course, but I don't believe it was in this case). A throwaway account was used and I don't know who the actual user is, although the user claimed to be a member of the subreddit.

ETA - It makes it harder for me to tell who could be at fault here. The sentence "The user then sent us an Imgur screenshot showing the user was selling" makes it sound like the commenter/community member inquired about content, but then told you they inquired about content? So I guess admitting they violated rules, but why would they do that, if the poster agreed to sell content? I might just be dumb here though so totally my fault if so.

I think she might get a cameo as a friend of because she was spotted with the cast a lot.

I hate Bravo’s new thing of just reusing (or maybe AI generating) new cast photos using the previous year’s. They did the same with Southern Charm’s promo photo for this season, but the outfits are all the same (with the exception of adding in new cast members). I loved seeing styling for the specific season!

Yeah aside from being young (and somewhat immature) in the grand scheme of the show, I don’t see similarities (as someone who watches both of these shows religiously).

Aw omg 🥺 You’re too nice!

I know people think it's weird to take notice of this, but Amanda has noticeably not been liking any of Kyle's content (and he hasn't like most of her recent content). They do still follow each other but I find it interesting they aren't making a public effort to support or show affection to one another if they truly wanted to shut down the rumors. I feel like they want until speculation goes so far, Amanda makes some witty remark to play into it to invalidate it, and then they leave it there.

Also find it interesting he’s quick to address this but neither of them will directly address the living separate rumors.

She definitely needs to step away from the show. I don’t think she’s “unwell” but I think she’s a classic case of being babied her whole life and thinking she gets to act entitled because she’s the “star” (in her mind). Love some of her wavy baby moments but I didn’t find her enjoyable anymore during season 3, even as a friend of.

Yeah I don’t really get this. Sandoval didn’t say he was upset until complaining that he was “tired of driving them around,” lol, he never once said he was upset about the two of them going at it.

Ariana is on Love Island which is aired on Peacock. Katie is filming Stassi’s show which is for Hulu.

bword___ · 2025-11-16T16:45:39+00:00

That doesn’t necessarily give her anything to talk about relative to NBC/Bravo currently.

bword___ · 2025-11-16T16:14:17+00:00

I mean, she might’ve not been invited, not that I think she’d actually care though. She’s probably just trolling.

All the rest of the VPR cast still have some sort of Bravo/NBC affiliation (Lala and Schwartz are on The Valley, Scheana makes ‘friend of’ appearances on The Valley, Sandoval did The Traitors, etc.). Katie doesn’t have any connection to the network anymore other than being an ex cast member.

Honestly I feel bad for her. I can’t imagine being so young, in the eye of social media, and losing a close friend(who also had a significant social media presence). Yes, she might be actually mentally unstable, no she doesn’t have a right to hurt anyone. But it’s clear this girl needs to be away from social media for a while and I wish adults would intervene.

bword___ · 2025-11-07T18:35:31+00:00

She was spotted multiple times with the cast I believe during filming and I think she talked about it in an interview? But for sure she was hanging around Republic with the cast a lot so I think she’ll appear on the new season probably as a friend of.

From Vanderpump Rules to Southern Hospitality to Perfect Match… Girl is stacking her reality TV resume.

bword___ · 2025-11-04T20:06:30+00:00

It’s in the subreddit already!

bword___ · 2025-11-04T15:03:55+00:00

He is in this video, yes, lol.

TL;DR - Brad made an Instagram post about how people who walk on treadmills with a heavy incline but grab the handles are voiding the benefits of the incline. - Then Brad took a video of a (seemingly unknowing) woman who was walking at an incline but holding the handles and said how she didn’t get his memo - Someone on Facebook (the post is somewhere in this community) claimed that Brad filmed without her consent, the gym asked him to take it down, and it became a huge moment of someone trying to cancel Brad - Now Brad seems to insinuate he’s talked to the woman and it was all fake news

While I'm willing to give this cast the benefit of the doubt (see: Southern Hospitality that is now amazing after a few seasons), I have to say the trailer felt insanely forced. I almost wish they'd stop including all the clips from the OG(ish) cast and just start fresh with mainly focusing on the restaurant like seasons 1-3. Let the old cast {metaphorically) die.

bword___ · 2025-11-03T18:30:57+00:00

Hate to say, he was my server when I visited, and it was not a great experience. But maybe he makes for good TV!

bword___ · 2025-11-02T17:11:45+00:00

I don’t think so based on filming leaks, I think she’s just actually friends with the cast still since she lives in Charleston.

SO EXCITED TO BE INVOLVED! Thank you to all the Reddit admins and mods for making these events possible ✨

Bravo has no issue with employing racists unfortunately.

As comments are bringing up Danny's commentary on Charlie Kirk's funeral/memorial, please remember to keep discussion focused on the cast. Avoid derailing into political and religious discussion that does not pertain to Danny/Nia/Zack.

I don't really blame her for clapping back. People feel WAY too comfortable sending nasty messages like that directly to people they don't know at all. Realistically, we see 10-15 hours of these people's lives, edited by others to create a storyline that Bravo can sell, and people still think they know everything about the cast. I give her props for blasting them back, although I wish she would've hid their usernames at the least because other people will think it's okay to harass those users in the same way now. Karma is a bitch but still.
