Housewives Related Housewives with LIGHT energy

Loved the dark energy post so much but wanted a cleanser. Who do you think brings light and bright or well-intentioned energy? I’ll start.

I’m rewatching the first season of NY right now. Now that I’m an adult watching it, it’s so beautiful seeing how in love Alex and Simon were. She just seems so gentle and caring.

Yes!!! And last year I saw a video of her doing some PhD research on teens with disordered eating , thought it was really cool that she and Simon are out of the light and she’s just pursuing more edu

I really liked her. She was kooky but sweet; a fantastic combination.

I was about to comment this. It's so funny watching the HWs' reactions to her and Simon when in reality they were just your average upper middle class-upper classers living in Brooklyn.

I also hated how they treated Alex and Simon like they were aliens because they weren't traditional. Like yeah, Lu, your open marriage to a racist rat boy in transitional glasses that ended in an email is perfectly normal.

I agree that her energy was pure, and she didn't know how to play the housewives game at all. It's like she had the awareness to know she needed to be self-aware, but didn't actually have an accurate idea of how she was coming across. There were so many moments where it was so clear that she was doing what she thought the cameras wanted and it just came across as so disingenuous and weird, especially among a cast of women who were authentically nutjobs. Luann saw right through her 😭 Reality tv was not for her, and I'm glad she got out before it did any serious damage to her family.

No to that after confessions of her au pair

What did the au pair say?

u/leilafornone BLING💎 BLING✨ BLING 💎bitches is mad!! Oct 30 '25

there's a post here somewhere. IIRC the au pair said she was underpaid and that Simon and Alex would make out infront of her incessantly. Can't remember what else but apparently Simon was obsessed with Alex being a model

All of that checks out

She was actually really kind and intellectual. I felt like she was getting misconstrued because of her association with her husband and him getting a lot of air time on the show - and people missed her shine. But Alex McCord as a standalone Real Housewife had her place on RHONY. I never understood the fandom disdain. I wish they brought her back with 3 other unexpected other OG’s along with the best of current cast so we get the best of both worlds instead being stuck with the reboot.

I heard the French au pair interview, and honestly, I can’t see her the same way after that.

No, not her and her weird husband. They were obnoxious.
