She lost her lower leg in an accident (escalator or something)? Pretty traumatic thing but is there even more than that? I'm sure if it was an accident like that she got a lot of money from it. We all react differently, and maybe there is a lot more to her story, but to make you afraid of everything?
I have a lot of fears myself, have anxiety attacks and can relate to her feelings. I knew how she felt flying, I could relate. I didn't even lose my leg in an accident. However, I have a friend whose hair got caught in some type of machine when she was little. She has a huge scar, a deformed ear and no hair, has to wear wigs. That's pretty darned traumatic and she does not act like Aviva in any way, shape or form. She was awarded a huge settlement for that accident.
I just think Aviva thinks Aviva needs to be pampered and doted on--her family probably doted on her too and now she thinks people should throw parties when she shows up.
I'm not an "Aviva hater"--I really can't take Ramona and Sonja more than the others. It is a tie on who gets on my last nerve more, lol. The whole lot of them are hot messes--at least in the way they are portrayed to us by Bravo. Carol is the only one who seems to be more normal out of all of the housewives.
