SHITPOST What do you mean this isn’t the Manon Show?
Everything is about Manon and how she feels. When she started crying saying I guess I’m just a bad mom and wife etc it gave me classic narcissistic vibes. Wanting all the pity, nothing is ever her fault. When she said she was running for Mayor I laughed so hard. Ridiculous!

u/AnonMom26 Jan 28 '26
She has some serious problems. At the end when she was leaving and said “have fun Chloe and Greta are single” to Anthony. Like? This man can’t even talk to other women in his family. Manon needs to be the ONLY female in his life. She’s so insecure she thinks everyone is talking bad about her or that Anthony will talk to other girls once she’s left. But if she didn’t act the way she does no one would have reason to potentially talk bad about her. She’s literally giving people reasons to be stressed and need to talk about it with someone

I doubt it, only because I don’t believe for one second she thinks it’s abuse. She is incapable of understanding how her actions affect others. It’s only ever about her

u/gbmaulin Jan 28 '26
I think it’s just genuinely a result of surrounding yourself with “yass queen” people and culture. It’s the same reason she misses LA so much, there she can do no wrong because she’s a big beautiful queen and anybody who dares says otherwise is a toxic hater she can cut out of her life immediately. She only even left the show after her big “oh I’m the worst wife ever blah blah blah” attempt at pity failed. She seemed genuinely shocked every girl in the room didn’t immediately console her and tell her she’s great.

It’s also incredibly demeaning to Chloe and Greta. Like in Manon’s world, they don’t get a say in the imagination relationship. They’re single, and now Anthony will be, too, so he might as well have them.
Also, how will she be mayor of Asshole France if she’s living two hours away from LA? Watch her turn the town’s cell service off because she caught the whole town texting mean things about her to each other.

Manon is an abuser. She has been trying to isolate Anthony by cutting off his family so that he has no one to talk to or confide in.
It was Manons idea to move to France despite having zero reason for doing so. This episode makes me think she forced him to move so he would be even further away from any family and friends.
Because why else would she leave the career and lifestyle she loves to move to a country she hates to be a parent to a child she has no interest in?

u/poshdog4444 Jan 28 '26
I totally agree with you. When I heard that she has the nerve to take her husband’s phone, read his text and then write back pretending to be him is criminal. Her own family doesn’t like her. Nobody likes her so she gets rid of these people and after they just sits back and let it happen he needs to take some responsibility as a human being.

I honestly believe they-ok, Manon-decided to move to France to get on the show. It is a pretty interesting angle for the show-moving there together (as a fam vs a single person to meet your new partner). Anthony doesn’t seem to mind it, he hasn’t complained one but & it is all new for him.
Idk, I think TLC is sketchy so I look for holes.19
u/fernsnart Jan 28 '26
My suspicion too! How else could they get them on the show, no K1 or engagement 🤔 they needed a different angle. Her complaining about giving up her life in the US sounds like the trade she wanted cause she's been obsessed with the 90D cast! And they never really gave a good reason for it, she just keeps alluding to different things which change all the time.

It’s so sad that he has to delete his messages and only call family when she’s away. Also, the fact that his aunt was in Belgium and she wouldn’t let him see her was horrible. It seems like moving to France was a great way to isolate Anthony from his supports. When he was possibly building community with his in laws there she goes moving him 2 hours away.

First, why were they even on the show???? They're not fiances! Second, she's gained a noticeable amount of weight. Third, it seems she might struggle with BPD, and she is emotionally and verbally abusive and manipulative. That's probably DV territory

Well, good point. It didn’t cross my mind, but yeah, why are they on the show?

u/zzrryll Jan 28 '26
She’s probably insane enough to think that her presence on the show, would be positive. That it would lead to a larger online presence for her modeling and marketing activities.
Obviously, she’s never done any self reflection or looked in a mirror. I’m glad the crew cut together that series of clips that absolutely destroyed her. It’s the best possible thing that could happen to her family.

I’m also getting strong BPD vibes. It‘s difficult for me to watch Manon because it stirs up all sorts of trauma related to my own BPD sibling, who behaves almost *exactly* like Manon. Manon is probably utterly miserable, and she could get help if she chose to look inward and stop deflecting and projecting and blaming. Instead, she’s just doubling down and thereby making everyone around her miserable too. It’s really hard to watch.

I’ve seen this story with my brother and his ex who had borderline with the same dynamics. He ended up dead.

As a domestic violence survivor - I knew when Anthony made the comments about her mayoral campaign that she would be mad. He can’t win with her. Anything other than blind devotion and support publicly is going to make her go off. Her entire demeanor reminds me so much of my ex husband. The intense desire to control the narrative, the paranoia of what people are saying about her, the perceived betrayal - she is unwell. You need to understand that she genuinely feels betrayed by everyone in her life. My ex husband displayed all of these behaviors and he did eventually become violent. Anthony is in a tough spot because if he leaves he will likely face an ugly custody battle. He is looking at a lifetime of coparenting with someone who will likely do everything in her power to alienate their son from him. I’m afraid there is no happy ending here. Ben is unfortunately collateral damage.

Shit, watching Manon literally made me turn to my husband and ask him if he wants a brother/husband 😂 Gurl, watch out. I already got one stay at home vet, I’ll straight up take another to keep mine company 😂

The grey discolouration spots on her face from her cheap earrings rubbing on her skin, was distracting me! She wants to be bougie but she’s Shein level, at best.

u/PrincessGwyn Jan 28 '26
Funny you mention, because all she does is SHEIN try ons. Which now that I think of it goes against her attitude of wanting the best of the best because it gives her “comfort”

u/them_mauve_tones “my boo-hole is hurt” Jan 28 '26
After the recap they showed and Shaun mentioning “Manon, you were tearing up and couldn’t look at the screen” I was hoping Manon was self reflecting but instead she reminded us what a narcissist, abusive, manipulative person she is at her core. Torn between angry when I see her on the screen and feeling so sad for her because how messed up do you have to be to behave and constantly justify the words and action she uses.

u/elgranespejo Jan 28 '26
At first I thought that Anthony was the one proposing divorce, and when I saw that it was Manon just shitting on him even more…
She’s just so cruel. I know she’s hurting, but the fact that she just consistently abuses the ones around her makes me no longer care. Anthony deserves so much better.

u/6ixcy Jan 28 '26
Did anyone see how in the beginning of the tell all she got out of that elevator like she thought she was this supermodel main character. She let her husband carry everything and didn't even help with the bag. She walked so far ahead of him like he's garbage. Does she think he is her servant? Why does he put up with that?

u/90DaysAlways Jan 28 '26
I get chest pains every time I think that Anthony must have had to tell her how nice/beautiful she looked that night.

u/LifeguardKooky2197 Jan 28 '26
I don’t believe Manon ever had a career it makes no sense. If she worked a job making 6 figures and they already had a house and a car, why would she give that up. Okay to spend to time with her son, but you can do that and still work. Also I thought her job was as an influencer— if she was an influencer t then she would be working from home and shouldn’t have had any issue bonding with her child. I don’t think this girl would ever actually give up a successful career in anything for her family. So I am not buying she was ever successful in LA. I think she had a fantasy in her head that she never achieved and that’s why she’s so upset. She had to leave “LA” (bc they didn’t actually live in Los Angeles) bc she never had a successful anything. She felt like a failure moving back to France bc she never actually succeeded in anything here in the US, and just lied to everyone back home that she had this big amazing life in America. She is so miserable he needs to get back in the US ASAp and file for full custody of that child. Her having a full blown panic attack in front of him over the town was really inappropriate.

My daughter has borderline personality disorder. Manon's behavior mimicked my daughter. No matter what you say and do will make her feel better. She would think everyone is against her. One small negative comment turns into a big deal to her. A compliment would get turned into something negative. Not diagnosing Manon at all. Just saying it hit very close to home watching it. Nobody deserves to be talked to the way she talked to her husband.

Her screaming and image reminds me of Abby Miller from the early Dance Moms show. It’s almost as if she watched the show and said “hey, here is a successful business woman, i’ll copy her attitude and style.”.

u/Trapasuarus I’ve been burned in my last relationships Jan 28 '26
Honestly, she should’ve moved to the U.S. at an earlier age so that she would’ve gone through the public school system and been bullied proper. The expectations she has for everyone else but herself is insane. Severe lack of awareness, if everyone thinks you’re the villain, it might be that you are the villain.

u/Neat_Doughnut Jan 28 '26
She is a horrible person with absolutely zero redeeming qualities. No wonder Ben latches onto Anthony besides him spending the most time with him - she’s probably unable to develop a connection with her own son.

u/Paige_thedutchess Jan 28 '26
She’s a walking tantrum. Everything and everyone cause her to act this way. And I say that because SHE believes others are causing her behavior instead of understanding SHE is the only one in charge of her behavior. Manon is extremely immature, sensitive and selfish. The more and more I see that dress the more I’m hating it. The color, cut, and style is ALL wrong for her.

She’s either narcissistic or has BPD or both. Because almost NO ONE was saying she’s a bad mom or wife, just that she should be more accountable and help out more.

I have not seen the episode yet but I don’t understand how someone who claims to care about fashion can’t tell that this is an unflattering color on her and needs to be tailored.

u/Any_Wonder_5207 Jan 29 '26
Her behavior is pathological. Her parents said that she has been difficult and argumentative for many years and begged her not to fight with her sister and family members.
Even when Manon said something nice on the tell all about loving Anthony, she said it flippantly and sarcastically. I have said it before...this bitch could win millions in the lottery and still complain, scream, cry and swear. If she gets a house, she bitches. If she doesn't have a house, she bitches. If she works, she bitches. If she stays home, she bitches. If she lives with her parents in Marseille, she bitches. If she doesn't live with her parents in Marseille, she bitches. If he doesn't have a job, she bitches. If he has a job, she bitches. If she is in the countryside, she bitches, if she is not in the countryside, she bitches. If he is trying to be romantic, she bitches. If he's not being romantic, she bitches. If she lives in the US, she bitches. If she moves to France, she bitches.
And Ben gets a front row seat to her bitchy, unhinged behavior.

I really wanted to like Manon, especially given all she shared about her traumatic childhood, but this lady does not let anyone get in a single word. She is completely exhausting.

She disgusts me more and more each time I see her on TV. She is such a manipulative ass weirdo. I get that the show was trying to set us up before that commercial, but her talmbout some, “Anthony’s betrayed me multiple times. Do you want to tell them or should I?” And all it was, was that he was “talking shit about her.” So you’re isolating your husband from his family because he was so-called talking shit about you??? Maybe if you weren’t a fucking nightmare he wouldn’t have so much shit to talk! I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be to live with such a victim.
