'RHOD': Tiffany Moon has a meltdown over being unable to fit in, fans call the cast 'cold and hostile'

Tiffany, who is a highly accomplished and respected anesthesiologist, immediately rubbed the ladies the wrong way with her lavish lifestyle and impressive accomplishments

It's never easy for a new housewife to fit in with the ladies on the 'Real Housewives' franchise and it was no different with 'Real Housewives of Dallas' star Tiffany Moon. Tiffany was introduced to the series as the first Asian housewife. Tiffany, who is a highly accomplished and respected anesthesiologist, immediately rubbed the ladies the wrong way with her lavish lifestyle and impressive accomplishments.

The other ladies began feeling a bit jealous of the new housewife's career and lifestyle. But no one seemed to be as triggered by Tiffany's presence as Brandi Redmond. Brandi, whose past racist video mocking Asians had resurfaced just a few months prior to filming on the new season, began feeling extremely self-conscious and uncomfortable when being around Tiffany. In the previous episode, Brandi even brought up how she was always walking on eggshells when she's around the new housewife. Tiffany was taken aback and upset by hearing Brandi's words. Later that same evening, Kary Brittingham suggested that all the ladies jump into the water as a bonding moment, despite being fully aware of Tiffany's aversion and fear of water as she didn't know how to swim.

But Tiffany still played along and jumped into the water despite being extremely uncomfortable. But she eventually reached her tipping point and snapped. The new housewife got out of the pool and ran back into her room and had a full-fledged meltdown. While the other housewives ran after her and were puzzled over what might have upset her so much. Tiffany assured them all that they did nothing wrong and it was just her being caught in her feelings.

The housewife later opened up to D'Andra Simmons about how she just couldn't seem to fit in with the ladies no matter how hard she tried. She brought up her childhood to point out how while she was growing up she always sought external validation and always tried to please people to fit in and the current situation with the ladies reminded her of that. She shed a few tears over how her best efforts too weren't good enough for the housewives. 

When fans saw Tiffany crying over not being accepted into the group, they felt very sorry for her. A fan tweeted, "Ugh, this moment from Tiffany is heartbreaking. You can see how much stress she's always under as a doctor, a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter. I love her openness. #RHOD." Another fan wrote, "Tiffany spent her whole childhood trying to be perfect for her parents & these girls are making her feel like she has to continue to do the same thing with them. Tiffany does not have to prove anything to these women! #RHOD." "Tiffany is such a good person and she’s trying so hard to please these women and she can’t win. I don’t get why they can’t just let her do and say what she wants, they’re forcing her to act a certain way and it’s bullshit #RHOD," commented a fan.

Another fan expressed, "Tiffany is breaking my heart tonight #RHOD." "My heart is breaking for Tiffany. she has honestly tried to become friends and build relationships with such a hostile and cold group of women. it’s hard to watch. #RHOD," seconded a fan. "I'm shocked that Tiffany didn't break earlier. Kary disregarding her fear of water, brandi pushing her, kam digging at her over "correcting people" and Stephanie poking about her "bragging". I don't blame her at all. Pressure to be perfect is alot #RHOD #tiffanystan," pointed a fan.
