During the rare moment for theHousewivesfranchise, cameras rolled as Robert Jr. confessed to abusing a variety of substances.

“Robert was like, the perfect child,” she said in her confessional. “He was very good in school. He got straight A’s all the way up until he graduated. When he set his mind to do something, he did it. He was like our prize, very smart, very advanced. That’s the Robert I know, and that’s the Robert I’m trying to reach.”

“Sometimes, I feel like, I don’t know, just life is like this chicken without seasoning,” he explained. “But when I get high, it’s like seasoning.”

The 21-year-old went on to share that he first took Xanax at 16 and since then has tried a variety of other hard drugs. He also shared that he “wanted to die at the time.”

Wiping away his tears, Robert Jr. said, “I just barely started being happy again.”
