Simon Says

 Simon Barney

Season 4 of the Real Housewives of Orange County was pretty rough for  Simon Barney  Both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, his wife Tamra behaved like a mean teenager jealous of the new girl in town, Gretchen Rossi. Quite unbecoming behavior for a mother of four in her forties. 

Unfortunately for the Barneys, you can’t put  worms back in the can.  Simon lost his job selling Mercedes-Benz, partly because of the show, and because of his own bad behavior(allegedly)  Since then, he has been pimping some tequila brand, how much can he make doing that?  To compound matters, he also got one of those mortgages built on smoke and mirrors, and is losing his home.

Problem is: fans of this train wreck remember his behavior at Lake Havasu, remember "Naked Wasted", and all the pettiness exhibited by his wife, both before the season aired and  throughout the season in the form of blog postings and message boards.  They became involved , and are still involved, with Jay Photoglou, who is  putting out pictures and messages to this day  Jay's Blog

Now he’s trying to gain some control over Tamra’s behavior...which is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. Neither Tamra nor Simon seem to realize that if they back away from bashing Gretchen, her story will play out as it should.  So what if  she lied about her relationships with Photoglou and Jeff Beitzel?

No, Tamra is still obsessed with Gretchen, and that makes her lose fans, not gain them.

As for Simon’s professional life, it is rumored he has a job at another automobile dealership, but he’s keeping the show away from it.  Too late.
