Kelly married to a narcissist...
Yeah, like she isn't one too?? She's such a mess.
shareAlso maybe he's on his best behavior but I don't see anything wrong with him except that he's freaking skeevy.

Oh my goodness, I think this is all in her head and she's trying to make him look bad on TV so she can get a divorce and a good settlement/favorable custody outcome.
All I saw was Kelly pick on him because he didn't paint the room all the way and then when he defended his side of the divorce, she accused him of being defensive. Well yeah, he's defending himself because you're criticizing something he did that he feels isn't justified.
She's a raving drunk lunatic! I wouldn't be surprised if that test showed that she was the narcissist and she changed the story. Until I see him do something on camera that comes close to the description she's painted, I'm gonna assume she's the only NARC. Otherwise they're both bonkers.
(And get a load of Tamra calling Simon a Narc! Pot, meet kettle.)
They are now in the process of divorcing and it is a mess. He has definitely shown how crazy and awful he is, but she has too! Look up some of the drama since filming ended.
shareI googled Kelly Dodd and all I saw was speculation that the divorce is back on cause the house is for sale.
And I saw that Michael took a restraining order out against HER, and there are documents alleging that SHE was physically and verbally abusive to her fiancé's ex. This woman is bat sh!t crazy. I don't know how folks can point fingers at Shannon when there's much stronger competition for lunatic of the OC.
Wow what a loser!
shareI thought it was ridiculous how she berated him for being an *beep* when they were divorcing. They decided to get back together - so leave it in the past!
Your future is all used up
Kelly is insufferable like Vicki. She and Vicki deserve eachother
shareSo I'm no Kelly fan, but I will say that people with NPD tend to be very outwardly charming and charismatic with strangers or acquaintances. And it's fairly common for people who are emotionally abusive to attempt to convince their partner (and others) that THEY (the victim) are the abusive one.
I mean Kelly is totally batsh*t, but if Michael is a narcissist, his behavior wouldn't be untypical.
I was waiting for someone to say this. I think he is also emotionally abusive. Also abusive people are very charismatic and nice to others. Other people will say oh come on he is great and wouldn't believe the abuse. I do think Kelly is nuts also.

I agree but he is NOT charming or charismatic in the least. He's pretty dorky and awkward.
Really nothing appealing about him, but the only abuse I've seen between those two is coming from her...she attacks him after he tries to do something nice around the house, saying he does things half @ss and only helps after he is urged to do so. He stammered in his response when he tried to defend himself, not the typical response of a smooth narcissist.

I agree. And I think the person you are describing is KELLY, not Michael! The only evidence I've seen of someone being abusive and crazy in the articles I've read and what I've seen on the show applies to Kelly. Doesn't mean he isn't abusive, but Kelly needs to look at her own behavior as well. share
I agree. they are both cut from the same cloth. how they talked to shannon at her 70s party showed me all I needed to know about that relationship. they piggybacked off of each other with the whole mrs roper stuff and behaved like mean girls until they left.
this is why I don't understand how people that divorce get back together.

I totally agree about the 70s party. They both looked steamin' heaps of drunk bullies who were one jello shot away from getting into a fist fight.
I think the reason they got back together, from what I could make out from Kelly's earlier conversations, was that he was getting nasty: sole custody of the daughter, financially etc.
You'd think that if they got back together they'd also make counselling a priority, at least for the sake of the kid, instead of making adding a bar on each level a priority!
