I believe she'll be devastated, too. Which brings me to Bryn. I hope Jason does the right thing by his daughter and supports her mother through this in whatever way she'll allow. Not so much because he cares about Bethenny, I'm pretty sure they hate each other's guts (and no lost feelings between him and Dennis either), but because Bryn will be sure to be cognizant of Bethenny's grief and angst. Bethenny and Jason both need to put their crap aside so Bethenny can grieve this without leaving too much of a mark on Bryn. All I could think about today was Bryn. And how Bethenny surely fell apart when she got the news this afternoon. Where was Bryn? God, I hope she wasnt there.What happened to Bryn, afterwards, if she was? Please Bethenny let her go to her daddy this weekend and stay off Instagram.

Beth will be treated as the outsider and the wife will have to put up with endless articles in the news about how Bethenny Frankel's boyfriend died. Lose/lose situation for any, and all, concerned.

Maybe Bethenny doesn't really know-it-all. But I think regarding this, she did know. Because it does seem like she's dropped some hints in her dialogue about Dennis.

Got money? Get anything. Last year or whenever Trump started talking about a War on Opioids and his Administration declared it a crisis and a national health emergency, I remember thinking, how big of a crisis can opioids be? Because I'd not often heard of anybody addicted to them and didn't know anyone personally (or didn't think I did at the time) who had a problem with them. Now that the subject is out of the closet, turns out I know three people who have struggled with Oxycontin and almost every day there is something in the news about an OD or a death. I really had no idea there was an attraction or a problem. Meth, heroin, cocaine - those seemed to be the mainstream. No relief or pleasure from Oxy for me. It made me throw up like a RHONY on a boat.

I loathe Bethenny but damn, if my cold, black heart didn't just thaw a little bit toward her.

97.5% of what we all talk about here is petty AF. I mean, think about it. :-) 100% are sorry/not sorry. I liked the big print in Bethenny's apartment that looked like it might've been a Bryn original.

Purposely making a false or misleading statement is telling a lie. Doesn't really matter if you're telling a lie about someone or something. Different degrees and types of lies, for sure. Some lies will spare someone's feelings and others will get you put in jail. Carole lies to make herself look better, cuter, cooler. And dumber. (Which I just don't get) Bethenny lies to make others look bad. All of them lie. But usually it's only Sonja who gets called out for it.

I don't dislike Tinsley but every time she opens her mouth, caterwauling commences. Ugh. That voice. I understand why Scott needs to take breaks. Agreed. Beth's was much more interesting and definitely more high end. But if Moaner is going to use it as a rental, I don't blame her for using less expensive furnishings. Dorinda kinda said about Beth's apartment the way I feel - it's fabulous, but it's not so much about the fancy furniture as it is about the amenities. The closet, the windows, the make-up room, the closet, the elevator. I died.

At Byte Lab, when Lu was describing how awful and sterile and white Ramona's renovation is, she could've been talking about Beth's new place. Then she goes on to diss Moaner's white, white kitchen. Beth looked down and away like, "sounds like mine". But you know Lu is going to sashay into Beth's kitchen and say, "This is gorrrrrrgeous. The white is so chic."

Like Dorinda said, she's never known a person to grow so much in six years, as John.

I see it, for sure!

Me, too! Speaking of her Cali life: Cassandra Grey, the friend that Carole consoled after her husband, Brad died is selling their family home in Holmby Hills for 77 million dollars. That kind of money plus DJ Ronson and Grey connections might make Carole's post RHONY life interesting. Brad Grey, the deceased, was the CEO of Paramount. Maybe he had something to do with the projects Carole is working on. If I don't come back in my next life worth tens of millions of dollars I hope at least I'll have a couple of friends who are. https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/business/realestate/hot-property/la-fi-hotprop-brad-grey-estate-20180221-story.html%3foutputType=amp

To be fair, the season isn't over yet. And then the reunion is good for a couple more weeks snark. I imagine she'll go the way of Heather, for instance. We continued discussing her for about a month after the show wrapped. And then it was nothing for many months. Holla was history until things got messy with her business partner. That's probably how it will go for Carole, too. Except suing the business partner part. You need to have a business or at least an occupation for that to happen.

Last time I saw them, the urn was sitting in her window sill as a decorative item after the 2nd (?) remodel?

Annnnnd.... this is also the episode where we first see Doris slurring and flying off the handle. It's at John in the Italian restaurant. Says she's not one to get angry very often but...LOL. Damn, her eyes are like drunken little daggers. She also looks like she's aged about 15 years since then. Now Bethenny is telling Carole and Dorinda that they need to remarket Widowry. And that Anthony's ashes being moved around is like her dog going to doggie daycare. WTH? Now a fight with Heather. This is kind of epic.

While we're discussing, Dumb Things Carole Radzwill Lies About: The laced gummy bear. Sigh. Either she really is dumb, and took a single gummy bear from a stranger at a club or, she's lying. No, she wasn't joking because the next day she went into very great detail with her bestie, Heather. So, why would a smart woman do that? Either take a single candy from a stranger or lie about doing so? And then go on to brag about it the next day while saying that guys aren't grossed out by puke and "as a woman it makes you seem really vulnerable and they like that." LOL. Oh, Carole. I'm gonna miss you. Season 7 episode 4. The scene is toward the beginning and totally worth a rewatch. Heather isn't buying it anymore than I do. She was fake laughing and looked uncomfortable. Like she was in the presence of a fraud.

I can buy that Carole was joking about pink cigarettes not causing cancer. Because nobody can be that stupid.

The same reason she lied last winter when she pretended not to know that lavender could be used in food. Blueberry and lavender ice cream? What's that? She exclaimed, "Lavender is a spray". However, the summer before, she was quoted in a magazine saying she had lavender honey gelato and a butter sablee for dessert. Pick a lane. https://people.com/food/real-housewives-carole-radziwill-food-diary-diet/ That's my major malfunction with her. Or any woman who is smart and purposely acts like a dum dum because she thinks it's cute. Then doubles down with a lie.

I don't know if Adam was thanking Carole for funding the video as much as he was thanking her for being his partner in that other business they tried to get off the ground. Remember the indoor herb garden? You can see one of the little pods in the video that he snips the herbs off of. Now if he ever needed funding, it was then. The Kickstarter Program they used to raise money failed to reach its goal. They needed $60,000 to start the business and they fell short by 25 thousand dollars. I wonder why more of Carole's A-list friends didn't throw in a couple bucks.

I agree with you, rap. I don't think calling Adam an operator was all that. I think Carole has a whole lot of other baggage stored between those be-feathered ears of hers, that got stuck in her craw. But I learned long ago, it's better to just keep your pie hole shut when it comes to the demise of anyone's relationship. Especially on TV. No bueno. Of course there's a caveat to that: If your friend gives you permission to trash your ex on TV, like Bethenny gave to Carole re: Jason. Then apparently, the rules change. Funny how that works.

It will be a tent. A Red Tent. Skinny Girl Red.

Bethenny is funny, Carole is not. Carole is calm, Bethenny is not. Bethenny is a hard worker, Carol is not. Carole seems to be able to maintain friendships, Bethenny cannot. The only things these two have in common is they are mean. And even in that, they have their differences. Carol tries to hide her meanness, Bethenny does not.

And the more politically correct the country becomes, the 'Girl' part is probably going to have to go, too.

I'm starting my Monday morning by zooming in on Bethenny Frankel's crotch. Certain kind of special, indeed. The wrinkles, whiskers or whatever they are, look odd. The way her fingers are positioned, almost look like she's raked them hard, from her crotch to her hip to create those lines. So where are those plus sized models she was talking about?

I'm with you. Takes a certain kind of special to sign up for putting your life on display for strangers to discuss and disseminate. Agree! But my hubs says it also takes a certain kind of special to watch these shows. Disagree! And then there are people who, like you, think it takes a certain kind of special to join these forums to snark these shows. We're all here, so guilty as charged, your 'onna!
