She seemed to have moved on with Christie Brinkley’s ex Peter Cook, but their relationship was short-lived.
Peter Cook? Is the Hamptons just a big steaming pile of lyin', no good, cheatin' philanderers?
And at 37, Kasey is a bit long in the tooth for Peter Cook. She's about 20 years past his use by date

Dorinda's acknowledgement of wrongdoing *and* apology for comfort the next time she does the same very thing.
I mean, what's the problem!?
LOL.
One of my favorite examples of Dorinda doing that, is on the boat ride from Hell after her squirmish with Luann the night before. She's sitting on the deck of the boat cozied up to Bethenny and saying something like, "Isn't it weird how we can go on these trips and get all effed up but somehow it just brings us closer together and bonding? What is that all about?"
I dunno, Doris. But nice try.
She sounded like she was trying to convince ten-year-old old Hannah of what a good thing it was that Mommy gave her a verbal bashing the day before.

Re: Carole not knowing what bringing the receipts means
I think she's known all along. Just one more way she pretends to be dumb because she thinks it's cute. That it somehow makes her seem younger via faux naivete. I just don't get it.
Granted, not everyone is familiar with the 'bringing the receipt' phrase. But like you said, she worked for ABC News, was friends with Diane Sawyer. She's also a Real Housewife well, was) and I've heard that phrase used by them, for years. She runs with a fabulous crowd who talks like that. Her pleather pants are on fire. Again.

The speculation (& supporting previews) of how the reunion went down makes me wonder if Carole quitting was a hasty, emotional decision she'll live to regret. I hope so. I've always disliked Bethenny, but this season made me realize I dislike Carole even more. Adios.
I agree.
Except...I think I might miss Writer Girl just a little. I'd rather see Dorinda go. Carole is snark worthy in her boringness and her self-importance, but Dorinda just makes me sad and angry. Sangry.
Carole is a ki'in, that will leave tiny scratches on your heart. Dorinda is a wildcat that will tear your heart out and bat it around for a while before she devours it.

But what I see is Bethenny talking about homeschooling Bryn so she, Bethenny, can travel for work on her schedule and not have to deal with formal school attendance requirements.
In my opinion, if that is Bethenny's intention to drag Bryn with her on business trips and homeschool her, with the intention of maintaining control and keeping Bryn out of Jason's clutches, then I think it's a terrible idea.
And personally, even if Jason and Bethenny were together and wanted to travel and do business and homeschool Bryn - even under the best circumstances - I would still say by middle school it would be important to provide a more conventional educational experience than that. Imo, of course.
So many choices for educating children. It pains me when I see parents being raked over the coals for sending their children to boarding schools. (They are selfish and must hate their kids!) Same goes for parents who choose to homeschool. (Control freaks whose children won't be socialized!) Public vs. Private. The list goes on.
But whatever choice a parent makes, if it's not entirely for the benefit of the child, it's the wrong choice.

I love me a pool party. But my god! that picture gives me anxiety for those happy looking people at hers.
Do they realize that all that fun can turn to crap by mid-afternoon, after the margaritas have been flowing, just by forgetting to thank Dorinda for sharing her sunscreen?
Her posture and demeanor in that picture seems like she's still making it nice. But do they realize that they are just one Margarita away from being poked in the eye and thrown off the premises?

I literally spent half my childhood traveling (had been to every continent but Antartica multiple times before I went to high school) and had many enriching experiences and it could also be tramautic and isolating both when traveling and coming back to school but that isn’t the travel experience Brynn is having. Bethenny herself IG that she could travel anywhere but she would rather be at her second home in the Hamptons.
Well, sure. Again, whole nother story. All the travel in the world or just to the local Hampton Inn isn't going to benefit a child much if the mother is a whack job and can't balance the travel with normal childhood experiences.
I was responding to this:
QuoteSeriously. Tell me what a child learns at the Four Seasons or on NetJets that makes traveling an education in itself.

The poster was specifically responding to the fact that Brynn’s recent travel desintations on IG have been Disneyland when B was in LA and hanging out for a few days at the Four Seasons pool in Miami.
I'll try to stick to only a couple of examples of how even that kind of travel is educational. Flying anywhere, staying anywhere that isn't home teaches a kid Independence, resourcefulness and self confidence that can't be taught in the classroom. I am not saying that a child who doesn't get these experiences can't be those things. What's educational about going skiing in Vail for Christmas? Learning to ski or snowboard probably sounds like just a lot of fun. But children who do this, become risk-takers. Which will benefit them their whole lives. (or, taken too far can lead to disaster.) But one of my points is, even riding a roller coaster at Disney World, or being allowed to be a big girl and order room service at the Four Seasons teaches them something. Those, indirectly, may not be necessary life lessons but they are experiences that round a kid out. When my kid was about 7, we let him go to the kiosk at a hotel pool by himself, as we watched from afar, so he could get a pool towel. Came back holding that towel all puffed up like he'd just bagged a 6 pointer during deer season.
Now most little kids, can obtain that same feeling by completing their own transaction with their allowance money at the local Target. And that's great too! These are all valuable experiences for a child. I just can't devalue the lessons Bryn learns by traveling. Even if it's just to Disney World or the Four Seasons. Now if all this travel is a ploy to keep her away from her father, that's a whole nother story.

I do think Jason loved her and he wanted really badly to give her the "home" and family she never had. That's what I think the trips to Hazelton were rooted in. I think he tried too hard to show her another way of life that she just could not accept/understand and didn't want to be a part of. And he couldn't understand why she wanted nothing to do with it. And then it just blew up in their faces. I think she could have loved him, but she wanted everything 100% her way. It really wasn't fair to him or her. At the end of the day, I really do believe she is/was far too damaged to accept the kind of love and more traditional type of relationship he had on offer. And perhaps the more non-traditional relationship, like with Dennis, was what she wanted. One where she could shut him out when she wanted to, but could call any time. I think everything went really fast after she got pregnant and they never had a chance to evaluate if they truly wanted the same things.
I agree with it all. I saw an episode when they were on their honeymoon and I saw love. Deep caring, similar humors. I didn't like Bethenny much, never have, but I was really rooting for them. And of course their baby. It is just a tragedy how this has all worked out. Or, rather, not worked out.

Faaaaaar be it from me to defend Bethenny about anything. And I'm not even disagreeing that the type of education she wants Bryn to have isn't entirely rooted in control.
But the education a child gets from/while traveling is priceless!
Loads of lessons learned that can't be taught in a classroom.
10 hours ago, RedDelicious said:Oh dear. I wanted to say something positive and I went looking for the scene where Bethenny and Jason introduced newborn Bryn to their friends (all time favorite Bethenny scene) and I wound up watching all of these old clips and now I'm all teary. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh And Gina was the BEST.
I saw some of those old episodes a few weeks ago.
So. In your opinion, was Bethenny really in love with Jason and vice versa? Or was she just looking for a sperm donor and he, a meal ticket?

More fun between hockey crush and I. Last night between 5 and 8, a lull in communications.
Hockey Crush: Ah just left gymnastics class
Me: Oh that'll come in handy for us.
Me: Oh, you probably meant your daughter's class.
Hockey Crush: Ha ha, you freak -- I like it!
Sasha! You little vixen!
What position is it that you play on your hockey team?

Bethenny was right - Carole is the one who pursued a friendship with Bethenny even though her allegedly BFF at the time, Heather had issues with Bethenny.
And now that Bethenny is her ex-BFF, will Carole pursue a bestie friendship again with Heather?
Interesting that she just posted an IG Story pic of herself and Heather after a 3-year-ish radio silence about her on social media.
She called out for transparency in the last episode at Lu's Cabaret. This is pretty transparent, Radzi. ?

I would hope that Bethenny would be done with these shenanigans before it starts to embarrass Bryn.
I would hope she would be done with these shenanigans, like, this week.
Beth's traumas started in childhood. The baggage has followed her through her whole life. Culminating in this, the tragic sudden death of someone she loved. That alone, would bring most people to their knees.
Just stop. Concentrate on your kid and the businesses you have. Continue doing good work for people less fortunate than you. Get yourself right, so your daughter isn't be embarrassed by a mother who unravels weekly on national television. Get this custody mess sorted out.
Today, Bethenny posted on Instagram a simple heart with the words 'Thank you' in it. My hope would be that those are parting words for a while. To social media, to reality TV. She just needs to get herself right.
I'd like to think that Bethenny won't be back next season. It would be the right thing to do. She doesn't need the job. But I have no confidence in her ability to step out of the spotlight. Even for her own mental health or Bryn's. :-(

But if my ex demanded sole custody -- in the wake of this weird troubling loss for our child? -- I'd play hardball. Because it's one thing to be able to legally curtail the worst instincts of your ex (on both sides of this marriage); it's another to have free reign over crucial decisions and parental choices in Bryn's life.
100%.

This made me laugh. When I was in kindergarten I apparently said something to one of my teachers that she later told me as an adult she had to know it was false because it was crazy (she was friends w my mom). I am always tempted to ask her what I said because maybe it was false, maybe not.
You should ask! I taught at the school down the street from my house. Still live there. I run into my old students and/or their parents all the time in the neighnorhood.. Grocery stores, waiting rooms, backyard bbqs. I always tell them the funny memories I have of them. They get a kick out of hearing them and I love telling them. Ask her!!

I heard someone, besides Doris, screaming "Jiovanniiiiii". I think it was Tinsley. But it was only once. Even Tinsley realized how obnoxious it was and stopped.

So y'all share a locker room?!
As far as his fluffiness, good on you for looking beyond that. So many people don't, only to pass on some really lovely humans. Attraction is attraction. Sounds like you are attracted and the feeling is mutual!
Whatever it is or isn't, just enjoy it. Sounds like so much fun.

Actually, Luann sounds worse.
Wow wow Wow! /moaner
Lu sounds much worse.
She just sounds so hoarse this season. I thought maybe she had a cold or perhaps overtraining for her show. But it's possible that age and strain and smoking has just taken it away.
In her THs, her voice is so low. And it's not like she's talking with a sore throat - she looks completely comfortable. I think that's just the way it is now.

Lu mentions Jovani. LOL.
I think Lu's voice is shot, for real and possibly for good. Any singers up in here? Opinions?

I just hope for the kid's sake, that this is settled before she graduates from high school. I'm not going to hold my breath.
Right?
Reading through these posts about the custody battle and psychiatric evaluations and overall dysfunction has me saying to myself, over and over:
"Hang in there, lil BrynBryn. Only ten more years..." :-(
So sad considering the other path this family might have taken.

I also loved the take down of Holla at the pool when she called Beth a Know-it-All.
"Well, if you ever need to know something, come to me. Because I...know.it.all!
Spontaneous, perfect. Like her response to Moaner the other night.

Trust me, they tell you everything even in kindergarten. Parents would be horrified if they knew what their kids were telling their teachers. LOL.
I used to joke with the parents of my kindergarten students: "I promise to believe only 50% of what they tell me about you, if you promise to believe only 50% of what they tell you about me.
This is one reason why I loved teaching the littles. Innocent, active imaginations. <3

Carole Radziwill: She's a Real Princess!
in The Real Housewives Of New York City
I get it, Hoo. None of these housewives are all good or all bad.
This is the way I feel about Sonja: I think she's pretty and looks fun to be around. Off color but relatively harmless.
Once in awhile I will post these thoughts in her thread. And then I duck and run. :-)
