Eileen Davidson appears so poised and confident that you would never know she grew up struggling. In an appearance on “State of Mind with Maurice Benard,” she shared that growing up with six other siblings resulted in a “lot of laughing or a lot of screaming.” Davidson elaborated, “Doors slamming, fighting, and hair pulling.” On top of that, she described feeling shame, which stemmed from her childhood and Catholic upbringing. “My father was manic-depressive. He wasn’t diagnosed, but his behavior was pretty bizarre. And there was so much shame attached to that,” she stated, adding that her dad would disappear into his room and not speak to her for half a year at a time. Davidson also revealed that her “mother was an incest survivor” and that she didn’t find out about this until her 20s.

Sadly, Davidson’s mother died before the “RHOBH” Season 6 reunion, which she hid from her castmates. “I knew it would rob everyone of their ability to be honest with me if they were all walking on eggshells. Moreover, I couldn’t even talk about my mother without breaking down,” she shared via Bravo. In 2021, she posted a tribute to her late mother on Instagram. “My mom would’ve been 99 years old today. Happy birthday, mama!” she wrote.
