For years she pushed Rebecca to achieve academically in order for her to secure a succesful future. However, Naomi's overbearing and critical nature strained her relationship with her daughter. Her first appearance was in the Season One episode "Josh Just Happens to Live Here!". She is portrayed by actress Tovah Feldshuh.
Character history
Although Naomi was raised Jewish she went against tradition to marry an Irish Catholic man and took for herself his last name Bunch. They settled down in Westchester County, New York and had a daughter together they named Rebecca. The marriage was a stormy one and the conflicts between Naomi and her husband git worse especially when she believed he was having an affair. Their incessant bickering reached the boiling point during a PPV party a twelve year old Rebecca was throwing for a few of her classmates. After years of threatening to walk out on her, Naomi's husband finally did it creating an embaressing scene for his wife and daughter ("I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!").
With her husband gone Naomi devoted all of her energy into making sure Rebecca would become a succesful lawyer. She was a very harsh crittic of her daughter trying to instill in her a mental toughness to overcome any adversity. Naomi also pushed Rebecca into a rivalry against a fellow classmate Audra Levine to become the top student. When Rebecca was 16 she got her dad to convince Naomi to send her to music camp instead of mock trial intensives. When camp was over, Naomi went to pick her daughter up only to find she had been fooling around with someone. Naomi told Rebecca that nothing was going to get in the way of her future and if need be she'd take her to an abortion clinic.
A decade later, Naomi daughter was the top attorney at a prestigious New York law firm.

Naomi passive aggressively informed Rebecca that her rival Audra Levine was now living the life her daughter should have had. Audra accepted the promotion she turned down and on top of that was also marrying a successful hedge fund manager ("I'm Going on a Date with Josh's Friend!")
