The NYT article had whitewashed dates wrong in Tinsleys favor. Met children in Jan 2022 and moved in soon after.

I can't imagine he has enough money for her.

I can’t believe this man thinks Tinsley would make a good wife and be a good stepmom to his young children. No way.

The south has a long history of tolerating functional alcoholism

It’s dreadful and cringeworthy.
And of course, what they will see on the internet about her. She has overshared a lot. And it stays.
Everyone is terribly concerned.

The poor kids. Dealing with their mothers death and then the dad just immediately shoving this woman into their lives. And everyone knows all this embarrassing public information about her. They will be vilified in school.

How about y'all stop contributing to the trauma by social shaming the father? Sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut and let people make their own decisions.

I have still yet to see any harm to these kids. Tinsely didn't invite TV cameras into their lives.

Widowed dads re-marry quickly...a tale as old as time.

I'll also add - the dad made a good move by marrying an older woman who has no kids of her own. The existing kids won't be competing for attention with a new baby.

Given the dad's social circle, he'd be hard pressed to find a woman who (1) doesn't already have her own brood of kids or (2) is younger and is OK not having a biological baby. Southern women from society families have kids young or if still childless REALLY want to get busy having their own babies.

In this sense, Tinsley is a unique "catch" in that she's happy to dedicate her attention and love toward the existing children.

I could see her demanding surrogacies and nannies in a way that’ll be splashy and embarrassing for the family in Augusta. But hopefully I’m wrong!

Haven’t read the whole thread, but it really isn’t that uncommon for men, especially the more traditional ones, to remarry very quickly upon the death of their wife. They lose their footing without the stability that everyday home life with a wife brings. Not saying I agree with it, but it is definitely something I’ve observed. These marriages don’t usually blow up dramatically. I think Tinsley is the unknown variable here.

This is from the NYT write up of the wedding, I’m sure haters are gonna hate but I thought it was respectful and lovely:

Mr. Bovard proposed with an emerald ring because emerald is his former wife’s birthstone. Ms. Mortimer and Mr. Bovard had established the significance of the gemstone beforehand.
“I wanted to do something that felt like I was incorporating her because I was coming into her family,” Ms. Mortimer said. “I wanted her to be a part of it because it hurts me so much that she’s not there for them. I thought that doing an emerald in some way would just bring her in.”

You are dumb. Wrong person.

She was designed to be a southern housewife married to a man with a net worth somewhere between 5mm-20mm. Going to the country club, kids in private, runs the local philanthropy/social scene in her smaller southern city, travels first class but not on private jets.

I wish them the best and hope they stay married.

That’s from 2017, from a tabloid. Sure.

1. After she emceed the circus: https://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city/season-11/episode-9/videos/bethenny-frankel-needs-a-break

My issue here is that it’s good to express your emotions, it was so unprofessional to be videoed doing this while still at the circus (work). Who would hire you again?

2. Her ex surprised her. This is so dramatic and stupid looking

3. And 4.

Is only dating a man (not engaged) and goes on tv to try on wedding dresses which she’s knows he’d see.

Has her eggs retrieved, not fertilized, and sobs just seeing a picture of them.

I don't disagree with your examples being dramatic and perhaps even ridiculous - but this is Real Housewives. She can't be mild-mannered or milquetoast or she wouldn't last on the show. I guess I'd be interested to hear what housewives you found more likeable than Tinsley who were less dramatic than she was, because I can't think of any. Most of them are equally if not more dramatic, and much more cruel/nasty and problematic in other ways (drinking, arrests, racism, etc.).

NP. Eileen Davidson.
