If filming really starts the day after Labor Day, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she bails out entirely, or wrangles a deal with Bravo to start mid-season. But by then she'll be gearing up for her custody hearing.
I'd sooo skip it, if I were her. Why did she drop out before? I can't remember.

You think the reporter deliberately left out something in the judge's statement that would reflect poorly on Bethenny? Really? <Scrunching up nose and tilting head sideways> Reaaallly?
A reporter omit information? What is this impossibility of which you speak?! ;-)
If we can't see the transcripts, I'd at least need to see the article where the reporter said that. Because even what you posted, is not complete.
QuoteBut the judge is quoted to have said (he was glad to hear that Jason) "is taking steps to get past this anger which is poisoning their ability to co-parent."
In the article did the reporter omit the whole bit before "is taking steps to get past this anger which is poisoning their ability to co-parent."
Why'd he do that?

Have his children indicated their feelings publicly in any way?
No. We haven't heard from them either way. And I hope it stays that way.
I think about the kids standing at the graveside, possibly being distracted. By the paparazzi being there or distracted by knowing that under the umbrella that stands head and shoulders above the rest because she has an umbrella holder, is my dad's girlfriend. Who I'm pretty darned sure my mother doesn't want there.
I italicized the word 'possibly' because maybe they didn't even know she was there. Or even if they knew, they still didn't care.
Alls I know, is I'm forever grateful that as I laid my beloved dad to rest, there was no distraction - before church, after church, at the graveside, or at the luncheon following.
Hopefully, Beth skipped the luncheon?

I wonder what Dennis would have wanted Bethenny to do. In my head, if he was a decent guy, I imagine the conversation on the day of his funeral would have went like this:
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry this happened. I loved you, I'll always love you. I want you to take care of you. Stay home - it's a miserable, rainy day. Stay in your pajamas and curl up with a pot of Earl Grey that we so enjoyed together. Play our favorite music and remember all the good times we had. It doesn't matter to me if you don't go. I'll know where your heart is. You know this."
I mean, Dennis might have wanted her to go. Shrug. But I think if he thought it would cause one iota of pain to his children, he would have pleaded with her not to attend.

That sounds like the judge thinks Jason is the main problem with respect to the daily ins and outs and compromises required for amicable co-parenting. If there's another way to interpret that statement, I don't see it. Maybe someone could enlighten me.
Oh, oh! Pick me!
I interpret that statement as:
"Jason is taking steps to get past this anger which is poisoning their ability to co-parent. (I'd advise Bethenny to start doing the same)."
Or...
" (Living with Bethenny was sure to be rage inducing.) Jason is taking steps to get past this anger which is poisoning their ability to co-parent."
LOL. I'm not a Frankel fan, @Jel so it's easy for me to interpret the judges words differently. I'd have to see the full transcript for context.

I believe there was some animosity between Beth and JillSS. Even if it was just a smidgen, she should've stayed away.
But she made the conscious effort to get up that morning, pick a dress, carefully do her hair and make-up and put on her killer heels before walking out the door. And that's sometimes what we do before going to a funeral.
The difference is, 1.) I don't believe she was wanted. 2.) She knew that her presence there could possibly create distraction at best, and a shitshow at worst.
Knowing these two things, she still chose to go. She put her right to publically pay her last respects, before those of his family. Not just his wife and their kids, but his parents and sibling.
It was her right, but imo, a bad choice.
I do hope, that if her intentions were pure by attending, that it helped to heal her. That said, I'm not sure how pure her intentions were and pehaps more healing would occur by going someplace that was special to the two of them and privately paying her last respects there instead of taking that risk of causing a distraction or a shitshow. I know that she's not a private person, but there's a time and a place.

The conversations about Carole’s friends and who her BFF is and who she calls BFF is funny in light of what Cassandra IG’d for Carole’s birthday hours ago.
OMG. They are amongst us. ?
Cassandra sounds aware that Carole has/had 3,604 best friends.

We have no idea who Carole considers her BF if she has one specific person or several, we only see her show friendships which with her seem to spill over when not filming but none seem to be her real life BFF. She is super close to her sister in law but that is hardly mentioned and she never really pops up on SM but that doesn’t mean they aren’t close.
You are correct. We have no idea.
How do you know she is close to her SIL?

I was basing that off of the comment before you mentioned Cassandra's inheritance:

Carole befriended Cassandra before she was ever dating or married to Brad Grey. Unless you're suggesting that Carole could see into the future that her friend would marry a producer who would die relatively young and leave the widow some money that would be of use to Carole?
Huh? Never said that. I'm speculating if Carole's BFF is, now, willing to help Carole in her new endeavors.
Because Cassandra's husband, during the six or seven years of their relationship, wasn't able or willing to.

If it weren't for Beth and Dennis's involvement, Shield's death probably wouldn't even be a local news story.
I disagree. Here's a headline I saw:
"Man found dead in his room at Trump Tower"
I think Dennis's death would have gotten some traction even without the help of Bethenny. Because, Trump.
Not a whole lot of pictures from the funeral. So it's hard to tell how much the press intruded. Hopefully the lack of pictures is a good thing.

I really don't think that Carole is making her friendship decisions based on a falling out with Bethenny.
I don't, either. I think Carole makes her friendship decisions on who will benefit her.
Now that Cassandra has inherited all that lovely television/movie studio money, maybe she'll be willing to help propel Carole's career. In a way that Brad Grey was unable/unwilling to do for his wife's BFF when he was alive.
I wonder if his studio was the one that was initially supposed to option the book.

I think Carole likes to have Tinsley around because she makes Carole feel superior. Carole stepped in as Tinsley's protector, she showed her the ropes of being a HW, and even found her a Carole-approved boyfriend with money. In her relationships with B and Heather Carole was definitely the beta. I think she's enjoying playing the alpha in this relationship.
This all day.
Although, I do think that Carole's friendship intentions at the beginning with Tinsley were probably good. She needed an alliance, she and Bethenny were done, Tinsley and Carol have a very similar stunted maturity level (boys! clothes! cooking, wassat? Ovens are for sweaters, silly!) Plus, they were double dating. Fun! Now that Carole is off the show, and Tinsley may/may not be done with Scott and may/may not be as wealthy as she seems, I think Carole will move on.

Whatever that child is made of that has enabled her to somehow withstand being warped by this endless custody battle -- unicorn hearts and pure steel? -- they don't deserve her. There are people who would kill for their child to be this stable after a "normal" divorce, never mind this pointless shit show.
So true.
And there are people who would kill to have a child, period. People who would cherish any child if they were only lucky enough to have one. Who would put that child first and not pull this shit if there was an unfortunate split.
Makes me sick. There's a side of me that wishes we could have all the details of how it got this way. Because I seriously can't wrap my brain around why they can't act like grown-ups and stop doing this to their kid. SMDH.

I think it’s becaise they are on the show not that they are her only friends. I also don’t remeber her calling any of them her best friend.
I didn't say they're her only friends, it's just that she runs so hot with them. Friendship rings, matching tshirts, vacations, tons of pictures on social media. She's "Ride or Die". Until, she's not.
Then on to the next. But the guys? They seem to be at constant. Maybe she needs to share a dog with her female friends for the same magic to happen.
Hey, it just dawned on me. Maybe Cassandra Grey is the woman in California that she shares the boxer with.

I thought she had a lot of longtime friends. She strikes me as someone who views BFFs as tier not a person.
Maybe. Maybe she has a ton of long term friends and acquaintances. Perhaps she only 'advertises' the Heathers, Bethennys and Tinsleys because they are good for her image. Or something. I dunno. I can't figure out her friendstyle.
5 minutes ago, chewycandy said:She’s been friends with Cassandra Grey for years, no?
Has she? I wasn't aware they were friends until she was breaking up with Bethenny and being kind of bitchy to Tinz.
Time to trade up.

I agree. That was an awful thing for Carole to say. This season I was used to and expected negative comments from Carole but I never expected her to be so cruel to her new BFF.
Carole could be one of those women who can't be friends with other women for any length of time. She goes through female besties almost as fast as Dorinda goes through Tylenol the morning after a bender. Nah, just kidding, haha but....
Raise your hand if you rotate best friends out every 2 or 3 years. Anybody?
The only friends who've remained constant through all these years that Carole has been on our Instagram radar has been Eric, and Baby's daddies. Dudes.
Carole gets intimate with her females friends very quickly and then, just as quickly, it's over. What's up with that?

I don't remember that style from the 80s. We had skinny pants. We started skinny jeans so skinny they needed ankle zippers to put them on.
And then some of us added insult to injury by wearing them with stirrups.

What you describe sounds chic, and is what Doris should have been wearing. This season it started to dawn on me how Doris's wardrobe is made up of top quality dated-looking pieces. She trots them out because they still look new, so she thinks nobody will notice.
She probably has the shoulder pads cut out of jackets and tops to make them wearable again. She tells herself they're classics, and of better quality than anything she could buy now (which is probably true). Because she spent so much on each piece, she could never bring herself to get rid of them once they went out of style.
The reason those pant legs are so wide and long is because they were designed and manufactured back in the '80s when stovepipe pant legs were fashionable and were worn with sky-high platform shoes. She probably looked fabulous in it decades ago in when it was new and the latest fashion.
This could be describing her homes, too. I get the same feeling about those, as I do her clothes. Overdone, cluttered looking, slightly musty.

It's...(wait for it) Jovani!
It looks better on Dorinda than the model!

No. You're not alone.
That said, by herself, I thought Dorinda looked great. Teal eyeshadow and all. I liked how it matched the sequins on her pantsuit. And the pantsuit fit her like a glove.
I'll show myself out now.

Bethenny Frankel: Skinny Girl
in The Real Housewives Of New York City
· Edited by ryebread
I'll take a stab at it. I don't know the blonde's name, but she is the one in all the pictures comforting Bethenny. Her foot? Looks weird because it appears her heel is sunk into the grass. That's a casualty of wearing stilettos on the lawn. Graveside service? Wedges or flats, ladies.
That's why maybe that woman looks barefoot, because she is? I just went to a graveside service for someone's grandma a couple weeks ago. 95 degrees and the teen+ granddaughters had taken their heels off to walk to the grave site which was far in the distance. They were also wearing ridiculously short dresses. Ah, to be young!
