Have any on you heard about the flack BM was getting from their casting and portrayal of the girl on Real World who is anorexic? They provided her a therapist on the show after her housemates told her she really needed professional help (She also seems to have a major drinking problem, lots of screaming and emotional breakdowns as well as constant picking at her skin until it formed scabs).
For those who aren't familar with the show they put up 7 young people in a beautiful mansion, give them a small project they call a job, that requires little time or effort, and then film them as they go out every night, dance, drink, get drunk, hook up, go home, fight or get arrested, and start over again the next day. They must also pay them a salary, since they are out drinking every single night. I don't think I have ever seen even one episode that the group was not out drinking. This season is set in Key West.
I usually watch the show, because it's like a train wreck, but, recently I had to stop when this same girl reunited on the show with her ex-boyfriend who sent her to the hospital 3 times in the past with his violence. She claimed he has reformed.
I heard that the girl claims she got the help she needed because of the show. I hope so.
The Real World has been a big hit for BM, however, I don't think it's necessarily the kind of show you can be proud of like SO.
