In a joint interview with , the TV star who was let go of the Bravo show ahead of Season 16 to get sober spoke alongside Rowan on the latter's "terrifying" eating disorder.

“All I wanted as a mom was to fix it. What can I do to fix it? And there was nothing I could do,” Braunwyn began on her daughter’s struggles with her body image.

“Once she hit 18, it was becoming harder. … When you’re a parent and you see a kid who hasn’t eaten for, like, 30 days, is 25 pounds underweight than they should [be], literally on the brink of death, and can’t even eat a single vegetable, that’s scary, it’s terrifying,

The ex-RHOC star added on Rowan, a dancer who would exercise daily for hours on end in addition to forgoing meals:

“I was so afraid we were going to lose her. She was so close to dying. I remember begging her to eat this carrot, holding her baby sister who’d just been born, saying, ‘Please eat this for her.’"

Rowan spoke on her own journey compared to her mother’s and how she now lives nearby in LA with her girlfriend, strengthening the mother-daughter bond:

“I feel like, with everything that you’ve been through and everything that I’ve been through and the amount of self-growth and development that we’ve both been doing, you’re able to understand me a lot more than you ever have."

Per Page Six, mother Braunwyn is now three-years sober and after becoming the first openly LGBTQ Real Housewife, daughter Rowan was inspired to come out as pansexual.

“Some of [the stories] are about my sexuality. Some of them are about my own battles with food,” mom said.

"[Rowan] didn’t realize that I had struggled with a lot of the same things that she did."
