At this point in the season, Peggy Sulahian doesn’t have much going on in Real Housewives of Orange County. She’s not close with any of these women and her main story line is still abundantly unclear. Hopefully she brings it because at this point the insensitive jokes are just falling flat and pinching Meghan Edmonds’ lips was far from iconic. Give me a table flip or throw a dish.
Even though Peggy is picking at (and pinching) Meghan in her quest to befriend the OG of the OC Vicki Gunvalson, at this point she is pretty much dispensable even though she’s the topic of some horrible rumors outside of the show.
Peggy continued to defend her lip pinching from two episodes ago in her Bravo blog. She insisted, “Meghan kept feeding fuel to the fire and went on and on about Vicki’s behavior and how invalid some of her actions were. When someone keeps pushing buttons to a point where it becomes immature, somebody has to stop that person.” And grabbing someone’s mouth isn’t immature? Alright, Peggy.
She continued, “People are overreacting about me touching Meghan by physically shutting her lips, but it clearly had no malicious intent. I was smiling while I was doing it and laughing in a harmless way after I did it. I did it to squeeze her pretty lips together and stop talking about it and pushing Vicki’s buttons to avoid having any sort of drama at our event.”
Peggy wrote, “I could tell Meghan knew what she was doing when she kept going on and on about the topic, and I just cringed watching her ask all those questions when I watched the episode. She kept dragging on the topic when Vicki was clearly over talking about it.”
Peggy slammed the whole cast when she wrote, “I made a comment about losing my parents on top of losing my breasts as a symbol for how short life can be. These women dwell on things that happened in the past, as if it’s the only thing they have to talk about in life. They fail to look at the bigger picture and choose to be so sensitive over the smallest things.” Clearly she’s never seen this show. All that they do is cause drama and talk about it incessantly during outdoor lunch dates. “Dwelling on things that happened in the past” is the cornerstone of this show.
Peggy said, “I’m aware things I say are misinterpreted at times, but I want everyone to know that my heart is in the right place. For some reason, I’m always put in uncomfortable situations.” That’s what she literally signed up for when she joined this show. Of course she’s “put in uncomfortable situations.” She added, “Anytime I feel tension in the room, I try to break the tension by saying something silly or a joke they may or may not understand, but sometimes it does not work in my favor.” Like when she “joked” that her husband “beats her every Friday.”
The new girl preached, “All in all, people need to just learn how to ignore things and let certain things go. Don’t try to relive the past in every moment of your life and try to correct everything and everyone. Let go of the toxic emotions.” This show is about reliving the past. They live, discuss what happened, discuss what happened again, and hash it all out again at the reunion taping and on social media. It really is the premise of this franchise.
And then Peggy (very vaguely) addressed the allegations that have been circulating about her father’s funeral. Mauricio Umansky’s mother (yes, this is a Beverly Hills and Orange County crossover) posted on Facebook about Peggy alienating her brother from their father’s funeral because of his homosexuality. She says that he did not get notice about his father’s decline and that he was only informed “after his father died.” He was “not allowed in the chapel until once the service had started.” She also claims that the brother “was not even allowed to [sit] with at special place they have for the family in the chapel” and his fiance “was not allowed to [sit] next to him.”
Peggy did not get into any specifics, but she did write, “On another note, as I deal with the loss of my father and my health battle, I am choosing to focus on my family and on my own recovery and not on personal attacks against me. I will not further engage in a public exchange with anyone, but it must be stated that the accusations against me are false and my actions have been grossly mis-characterized.” It will be interesting to see if this comes up during the reunion.
