Braunwyn Windham-Burke has been embroiled in a scandal after a series of leaked text messages showed her attempting to seduce a gay boyfriend. The bold comments are sparking a storm of criticism from fans

Braunwyn Windham-Burke has found herself at the center of a firestorm this week after a string of explicit leaked messages allegedly sent by the former Real Housewives of Orange County star surfaced online, revealing her attempts to seduce a gay friend in what fans are calling one of the “most manipulative and attention-seeking stunts” they’ve ever seen. The explosive texts, laced with flirtatious and suggestive language, include one now-infamous line that has since gone viral: “I could make you change teams.”

The messages, reportedly sent over several weeks, paint a picture of Braunwyn relentlessly pursuing a man who had been open about his sexuality. Sources close to the situation claim the messages were “unwanted, uncomfortable, and borderline predatory,” and that the recipient had to block Braunwyn after repeated failed attempts to establish clear boundaries.

As the scandal gains traction, backlash has erupted across social media, with many accusing Braunwyn of fetishizing gay men and weaponizing sexuality as a publicity tool. “This is not just cringe — it’s calculated,” one Twitter user fumed. “She’s playing with people’s identities for clout. It’s disgusting.”

Critics are also calling out Braunwyn’s history of contradictory statements about her own sexuality. After coming out as a lesbian in 2020 and publicly dating women, this sudden turn — attempting to seduce a gay man — has left many questioning her authenticity and motives. “Is she even who she says she is?” one fan commented under a now-deleted Instagram post. “Or is this all just performance for relevance?”

This isn’t the first time the controversial former Bravo star has faced accusations of manipulation. From her chaotic on-screen relationships to her public fallout with ex-girlfriend Victoria Brito and her messy divorce from Sean Burke, Braunwyn has built a reputation for chasing headlines — and this latest leak has only intensified scrutiny.

Neither Braunwyn nor her team have issued an official statement, but insiders say she’s “panicking behind the scenes” and scrambling to do damage control. Meanwhile, the LGBTQ+ community and longtime fans alike are calling for accountability, with some even urging platforms to stop giving her visibility altogether.

As the fallout continues, one thing is clear — the backlash isn’t going away anytime soon. And if Braunwyn thought this scandal would put her back in the spotlight, she may have seriously miscalculated.
