This was almost a month ago, but for some reason people just noticed it today, so whatever. Ricardo Chavira, who played Gabrielle's husband Carlos, had some words for The Actual Worst Character Lynette:

White Privilege. And I saw Eight years worth of it, so I know what I’m talking about. Accountability and Responsibility don’t mean shit to these people. https://t.co/HMIKzGKDbp

I saw Eight years worth of it working on Housewives. I’ve seen a lifetime of it being a halfbreed, and I’ve struggled w the intricacies of it on a daily basis w all the cultural bias I’ve received on both ends. But whatever. Slap on the wrist. Sorry, but this shit

But it’s not about race. Tired of stupid people and their stupid arguments. If you haven’t lived it, you really have no say. Stay in your lane.

Well, he ain't wrong. And now I'm even more curious about what the hell went on behind the scenes at that show. Where's the tell-all?! Or the bad Lifetime movie?!
