Bravo Edits 'Significant Device' Gun Remark
17 Aug
Summary
- Bravo edited Pinky Cole's gun talk to a vague 'device' reference.
- Cole mentioned having a 'significant device' for protection off-camera.
- Phaedra Parks alluded to the RHOA setting not being 'The Wire'.
During the airing of the second part of the Season 17 reunion for 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' Bravo executives appeared to sanitize a heated exchange involving cast member Pinky Cole. The network edited a reference to Cole possessing a firearm, instead describing it as a "significant device" to protect herself.
This incident originally occurred off-camera earlier in the season when Cole spoke to fellow cast member Phaedra Parks. While Cole stated she was discussing the need for protection and not making threats, Parks expressed disapproval of a firearm being present on set, remarking that the situation was not comparable to the crime drama 'The Wire.'
Parks herself brought up the comment during the reunion, though both she and host Andy Cohen denied that Cole was attempting to get Parks in trouble with Bravo. The network's decision to obscure the firearm references is likely a response to past controversies regarding gun discussions on the show.
