Bye girl, bye!
Peggy Sulahian is a newcomer to The Real Housewives of Orange County, but though she was definitely in her share of unnecessary fights with costars, she didn’t make that big of a splash.
Now it’s reported that Peggy has been fired from the series.
We had already told you that, reportedly, three women will be fired from The Real Housewives of Orange County. Peggy Sulahian was one of the names that we gave you.
Not everybody has what it takes to be a Real Housewife.
You need to be affluent enough, interesting enough, dramatic enough.
At the same time, you need to be somehow relatable, you have to have normal elements to your life, and you have to get along well enough with your costars that you can all make the series together.
Peggy Sulahian?
Well … she’s definitely not in the poor-house. But she failed to be interesting enough to grasp the attention of most viewers.
She also failed to be likable.
RadarOnline reports that their sources (plural) say that Peggy Sulahian has been fired from The Real Housewives of Orange County.
“None of the ladies wanted to work with her anymore,” one source reports.
When your much more established costars can’t stand you, it’s not an entertaining feud — it’s potentially toxic to the series.
“After the reunion they were just done with her,” the source continued.
Another source tidily summarized what made Peggy such an undesirable Real Housewife.
“She didn’t bring anything to the table.”
Peggy’s erstwhile costars had a lot of reasons to dislike her, too.
For starters, there’s that time when Meghan King Edmonds and Vicki Gunvalson were talking and Peggy just … pinched Meghan’s lips shut.
As if that were a normal thing to do.
But there’s more.
Peggy, a mother of three, bashed Meghan King Edmonds’ parenting.
Unlike the conflict between Meghan and costar Lydia McLaughlin over Meghan having a psychic at her party and Lydia being weirded out for religious reasons, Peggy’s criticisms were deeply personal.
And they rubbed people the wrong way — costars and viewers alike.
Peggy also seemed to be paranoid that Kelly Dodd and Tamra Judge were making fun of her.
Whether she was really worried about it or was just playing up some paranoia for the cameras, we don’t know for sure. Either way, it wasn’t a great look.
Also, Peggy left early during this season’s girls’ trip to Iceland. To put it plainly: nobody likes a quitter.
But there’s something else:
Fans have pointed out that she gets offended at every little thing and that she tries to pass herself off as a dumb foreigner even though, well, she’s lived in the US for most of her life.
But what really gets under people’s skin is that Peggy Sulahian is a raging homophobe.
We’ve heard Vicki accused of homophobia for negging Tamra about rumors about her husband, Eddie Judge. We’ve heard Tamra accused of homophobia for being bothered by the rumors.
This is on another level. Peggy Sulahian reportedly banned her own brother, designer Pol’ Atteu (he was, like, BFFs with the late, great Anna Nicole Smith), from their father’s funeral.
It’s been reported that she even tried to have him removed from his father’s services by security.
Reality television can put up with a lot of bigotry — just look at the Duggars. But, if you look at Derick Dillard getting fired, you know that there’s a limit.
Peggy’s views were so bad that she got bashed by other Housewives and received public condemnation from Lisa Vanderpump.
All of these factors combine to making Peggy Sulahian a toxic castmember.
The question is: When will they announce this officially?
And who will be the next to get the axe?
