'RHOC': Braunwyn Windham Burke called 'worst mother' after she goes on about herself, ignores Rowan and Sean

Fans were appalled on seeing Braunwyn's behavior towards her daughter and husband and called her out for it

Season 15 of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' exposed an ugly side of Braunwyn Windham Burke, that left many fans fuming at her. On the current season of 'RHOC', the housewife confessed to being an alcoholic and for the better part of the season, we saw her actively working on addressing it. From attending AA meetings to explaining to her fellow housewives about addiction, the housewife is doing it all.

However, battling addiction isn't easy and the housewife's husband, Sean Burke and their seven children seem to bear the brunt of it. The recently aired episode which was filmed at the beginning of the pandemic features the ladies learning about the coronavirus outbreak and it turning into a pandemic. When Braunwyn's daughter, Rowan hears about it she starts to get anxious and terrified about the situation.

Rowan turns to her parents for help and support, she tells them that she is terrified when she thinks about the old people in her life, during the virus outbreak. She also expresses her concerns for the hospitals and medical centers, wondering how the patients undergoing treatments might be affected by it. When Braunwyn hears her daughter's concerns, she instantly turns the focus on herself and explains how she's glad that she is sober, so she can help Rowan through her anxiety. When Sean chips in trying to reassure Rowan that everything would be fine, the housewife snaps at him and asks him to stop being so optimistic and trying to fix everything. Braunwyn then suggests Rowan attend an AA meeting with her. Sean seconds Braunwyn's idea and while he was trying to explain why it's a good idea, the housewife snaps at both her husband and daughter saying they aren't allowing her to talk. 

While both Sean and Rowan looked puzzled and terrified at her outburst, Braunwyn continued to talk about her sobriety and mental health. Fans were appalled on seeing Braunwyn's behavior towards her daughter and husband and called her out for it. A fan tweeted, "Braunwyn didn't want her husband to share his optimism, but it was fine for her to dump her anxieties about relapse on her daughter who has OCD??? #RHOC." Another fan wrote, "I am appalled at how Braunwyn speaks to her daughter about her mental health and then immediately brings the focus back to her without skipping a beat. She wins for most self absorbed housewife ever. A feat. Gross. #RHOC."

"#RHOC wow braunwyn is a horrible wife and mother her poor husband and daughter worried about others and she threw a fit they weren’t interested in hearing about her drinking for the BILLONTH time god she is so freaking annoying please @BravoTV get rid of her!!!," expressed a fan. Another fan shared, "Braunwyn makes me sick, she literally took her daughters anxiety and turned the attention back to her then screams she can’t even talk when that is all she is doing. I feel so bad for her daughter Braunwyn is a POS #RHOC." "Watching #RHOC and thinking to myself, Braunwyn is the worst mother ever. Her daughter trying to get support and she keeps talking about herself, yikes," pointed a fan.
