I agree that she should have kept her mouth closed, too much time had passed between her dinner with Dorit/PK and mani/pedi with Rinna. That said, she did tell Dorit about it, in private, before they got to Rinna's dinner tonight but Dorit wants Erika/Rinna to dislike Teddi so she has them to herself as she doesn't have LisaV to herself.
And this is why I see what Teddi did as different from Dorit. She told Dorit when they were ALONE. Perhaps her timing could have been better, but it's not like these two ever get together for coffee. I suspect she legitimately felt that, having repeated what Dorit and PK said to Rinna, she needed to let Dorit know about it. Normal people wouldn't go to Defcon 4 over this.
The person who dragged this out was Dorit, by bringing it up to the group. And she could have ended it when Teddi and Rinna both spoke calmly, but NO.....
Erika, girl sit down and shut up! I get that Teddi did call you a liar (though she may not have thought of it that way), but you CANNOT tell other people what they can and can't say. I want to call you a liar, I damned well will do so! That was a helluva over-reaction, which makes me wonder why she does it? Hmmm.....
Dorit is a designer in the same way Sheree was a designer. "I want a fashion line....I think..... swimsuits." "Yes, I'd like a bikini......in black." "Oh, and in.....white....." Shakes hands for other people to do ALL the work. That was embarrassing for her, not that she'd ever recognize it. And she certainly stood up to PK on everything didn't she? DORIT: "I want this name, this price point." PK: "No, different name, cheaper." Dorit: "OK"

Not true. If Bethenny is awarded sole & primary custody, she can move Bryn anywhere without petitioning the court. Which, IMHO, is her end game.
She's an utterly selfish twat who really shouldn't have procreated with anyone.
I don’t think in NY she can move out of state without agreement or court order. Visitation can indeed be decided by the Court, but usually the parties manage to agree.

Except it absolutely IS within her rights to limit this kind of thing.
If NY is an “at will” employment state, she can fire someone for no reason. She can’t discriminate re race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation. Drinking off the job? Not a protected class. I also notice the article mentions no drinking “especially on” the job, so it’s possible she is not really trying to ban all drinking.

I agree -- I guess the only bright spot is that Bryn is doing so well, Frankel couldn't find any custody issues regarding Bryn's emotional/physical situation, so Frankel had to make it about how she and Hoppy communicate with each other. (Which they absolutely need to resolve as parents going forward, but not at the expense of putting Bryn through another custody fight.)
And for me this is the down side. When joint custody started, a number of times people avoided it (and the primary point of “joint custody is shared decision making, as opposed to one parent having NO input in the decision making) by claiming the 2 parents couldn’t get along well enough to make decisions together. The one parent who tried to make it work was undermined by the jerk who refused to cooperate. Lucky that doesn’t happen as much these days.
sole custody, if B gets it, doesn’t mean Jason will have no involvement in Bryn’s life. He would likely still have ample visitation rights. But he wouldn’t be involved in decisions like school choice, religion, doctors, etc. It’s VERY difficult to stop visitation completely, or require supervised visitation. That the parents can’t get along ( lol, they got divorced, obviously they don’t get along!) isn’t what supervised visitation about - it’s about danger to the child.
Now the standard of proof in a divorce court is different from criminal court, so to possible the judge won’t just look at the fact the charges were dropped re these emails. But Jason will be able to bring in B’s responses or failure to respond ( to reasonable requests).
The custody evaluation is pretty standard. Very useful for the court that it’s the same person as before. It’s as much about the parents and their interaction with the child as an eval of the child herself. The psychologist is usually pretty experienced in these kind of things, and it’s not usually de vastating for the child. Obviously Brynn is far too young for anyone to ask her where she wants to live.
on the hearing report, how does someone decide Jason “angrily” drank the water? Sounds over the top as a description to me. Heck, do the NY courts allow folks to bring bottled water into the building at all?
For those who say Jason isn’t “normal” because he had a child with B, didn’t she get pregnant pretty quickly? I doubt either of them realized much about the other before their lives were dramatically changed by the pregnancy. They both at least tried to make it work, perhaps it was always a relationship that would have ended, but far earlier had B not gotten pregnant.

There’s nothing I found appealing, but I’m not a fan of Dorit’s personal style (or Dorit) either. I also dislike the name and the font, I would expect something more high end.
What is with these housewives thinking each and every different color requires a separate photo/ordering page? Dorit has 8 different swim suits (assuming we count the tops and bottoms separately which, yeah,, no), but she has 42 different photos. Same thing with the very basic hats. Do they not invest in a real website where you can see one swimsuit on the page, then choose the color and size? And the photos of a "jewelry" don't show off the product at all.
I didn't mind the main font for the name, though it's not my favorite. The other font was off-putting to me for reasons I can't really describe.
Just screams vanity webpage to me. Maybe she and Sonja can get together on a clearance sale later.

I think it might be more of an indicator that Carole isn't this vivacious, worldly seeker of new experiences that she sometimes try to portray herself as. Look, I like eating pizza and ordering pizza at home so if thats what she likes, ok. But I admit, I find it odd that someone who has lived in NYC for a serious portion of their life, who has been something of a socialite and celebrity etc, has never ventured to Chinatown or had dimsum because its actually a pretty common thing to do in NYC. I've only been to NYC three times in my life and on two occasions, I had dimsum in Chinatown because the friends I was visiting cited it as a "New York experience".
As for being a crappy friend... I genuinely don't know that we know enough about their friendship but I can see where it can be frustrating when one side of a friendship perceives the other as dominating the friendship with their choices. So, if spending time as friends means they're consistently ordering pizza at Carol's because thats what Carol wants and Carol doesn't want to try anything new... I can see where thats frustrating in a friendship. And please don't think I am bitching out Carol in defense of Bethenny. I am most often the "Carol" in my friendships - if I find something I like, then I like doing and eating *that* and I bristle a bit at new things. But friendships are a give and take and as much as I like my own way, I know if I want to keep friends, I have to be willing to try other things. I try to make sure that my getting my way is fairly even with my friends getting their way... and frankly I can see all the real housewives having some problems with that sort of give and take.
I see your point on the worldly seeker of new experiences, but its possible that she doesn't think eating Chinese food in NYC counts; eating it in China is a different thing. And you might ask your friends how often they go to Chinatown for dinner when out-of-town friends aren't in town....going to a touristy place tends to happen to NYers only when an out-of-towner wants to go. See how many NYers have been to the Statue of Liberty, for example (Native here, though no longer live there, we went once, when my parents decided we needed to "do" NY like a real vacation, most of my friends were never there).
I also don't think we know that Carole insists on ordering pizza (or any other particular food) EVERY TIME people are over at her house. Heck, in NY each person could easily order from a different restaurant; I just don't see Carole as someone who insists on her own way each and every time. Now Bethenny? Yeah.
I have friends who like Mexican food, I don't. They go out for Mexican food they don't invite me, and I'm not offended.

So the two of them were in B’s insta story this summer. Carol had never been to Chinatown. Carol had never eaten dumplings. Carol preferred just ordering pizza. She didn’t want to eat new food. And I thought, yeah dump her. Anyone that lives in NYC for most of her adult life and has never even ventured to Chinatown is a boring loser.
Ha! I read that and thought, who cares? People like what they like.

alright Ann Wintor .......the Designer wanted her in his show so thats all that should matter. this isnt a democracy where everyday people get to deiced who walks and who doesn't...i mean point blank period it was his choice.
Well, did he want HER in the show, or was putting her in the show a way of getting on TV? I
don't want to slam a child's looks, and won't. But I too wonder about this trend of the children of famous people suddenly becoming models.
I have already forgotten the actual reason for the dispute between Lisa and Kyle (and Dorit), but I think what Teddi was getting at was, if you value the friendship, apologize even if you're not sure why, because it will make the friend happy. Not a good thing to do repeatedly, but once won't kill anyone.

Ericka made it known right away she wasn't impressed by the John Mellencamp connection by saying, "you aren't defined by your father" and then making the point she didn't have a father (i.e., and look where I am.") Because she is so superficial, Teddi's lack of interest in material stuff and how she looks bores her. She made a snide comment when the were gambling about deciding her budget and sticking with it. even if it was 10. At first I thought Ericka was jealous because of her raging daddy issues. But it seems like Teddi has daddy issues herself, and I don't know think she saw her dad that much growing up. She has access to a trust to buy homes, but otherwise, she really doesn't have that much money, and to me, Ericka can tell this and she looks down on her. My biggest question, is why does Teddi want to live in Beverly Hills? It's like going to a Catholic Church regularly and then insisting you don't give a shit about religion. Well, why are you there?
She may have said that, but I don't have to believe her - on either the Mellencamp connection or the budget. I find it hard to imagine someone who takes her music "career" so seriously not being impressed with Mellencamp's decades long career. Yep, it's not Teddi's career, but it is her family. And Mr. Girardi seems to control the purse strings to a degree that's likely tighter than Erika wants to admit.
I haven't figured out Teddi either, no idea why she wants to be in Beverly Hills if she wants to ride and wear jeans all the time. Her husband prefers it maybe?

I don't think Teddi likes Ericka at all, and I think Teddi is nervous around her, which makes her dislike her more. I do not think that Ericka gives a shit about Teddi, or what Teddi thinks, feels, etc., and when Teddi tried to what she calls "comfort" her, and Ericka brushed her away, I think that was really a clear that Ericka does not give two shits about her. I don't want sympathy from people that I don't care about. Teddi is embarrassed because she showed concern for Ericka, and Ericka did not return it. It's like when you are dating, and the guy you are dating is truly fine with you dating other people, but you really want him to care. But he just doesn't. You act like you don't care either, but inside you are dying for him to care about you. But he doesn't and never will.
Ericka is just hanging out with Teddi because she has to. And I do think Ericka finds Teddi completely insignificant and not worth knowing. Where with the other ladies, they have more interest to her, (though not much). Ericka also, it seems, grew up with little love and was never given any attention. Now she tries to impress everyone with her clothes, hair, make-up, so people will like her. And in all honesty, even with all the make-up and plastic surgery, she's not a great beauty. She's a fairly average looking woman who is trying to pretend she's a fashion model turned pop-star. There may be more to her, but on the show she seems like someone that only cares about money, and having expensive things. She also seems to look down on people who don't admire and worship and want to be her, because that's how she feels valued.
Teddi seems off to me in ways I don't really understand. I am wondering if it's something about her being an accountability coach, and possibly trying NOT to "be" that in her personal life?
But I disagree on Erika not giving a shit about Teddi. In fact, I suspect Erika is jealous of Teddi, as her father has a legitimate, serious music career that has spanned decades. Erika's "career" is a joke that wouldn't exist without repeated infusions of $$ from hubby. I don't know how close Teddi and John Mellancamp were when she was young, but if they were at all, I'd imagine any conversation about musicians she and Erika know/met/etc. would be hilariously one-sided. Yeah, it's not Teddi's career, but still.....

Theoretically - at least in terms of the show - Luann and Ramona are friends, direct personal friends. And under those circumstances neither should be hooking up the others ex, former lover, random side piece, mad crush, one night stand -whatever you want to call it - without making sure it's okay with their friend.
I think the difference is Carol did not see herself as friends with Nicole and therefore was under no compunction to get any kind of clearance from her to date Adam. So she isn't a hypocrite for that reason, I think she might argue.
That being said, the thing that actually bothered me was when Carol dismissively proclaimed "I don't care" in one of her talking heads when asked about Nicole being hurt or bothered or whatever the question was. I just thought that was very cold thing to say. Whether the other person is actually your friend or not, it should matter on some level if you were involved in something that hurt another person.
I never quite got over Carole saying that the way she did.
On Luann and Ramona - I agree with you up to a point, in that you shouldn't start dating an ex-spouse, significant other without informing our "friend" (not sure they should have to give permission), but I don't know that you need to inform a "friend" about dating a former "hook-up/side piece/person the friend dated 1/3/5/7 times." It would be the gracious thing to do, but as to Sonja, did anyone really know she and Tom were hooking up?
On Luann and Carole - I agree Carole was needlessly dismissive of Nicole's feelings, regardless of Nicole SHOULD HAVE been hurt/bothered. Worst was there was no need to say anything other than "I understand they were broken up, {add I'm sorry she's upset if you want to be gracious}." I do think Nicole being upset was the beginning of why Luann was upset with Carole, though she took it to over the top level.

IMO, technically they were on a 'yacht' but many people wouldn't consider it as such. Yeah, for me it was a typical dinner cruise boat. I was on one last summer for an anniversary cruise. Actually, I thought the one we were on was nicer than what Dorit got.
Dorit is all about image. Ya know. The helicopter entrance.... Sorry Dorit. You're not impressing.
I thought the yacht that the housewives were on for dinner in Amsterdam was so much nicer. I loved the 'wood' and finishes.
The helicopter entrance might have been impressive if they helicoptered ONTO the actual boat! But it wasn't big enough to have a helipad, poor things. I thought her performance was terrible, she wasn't singing in unison with Boy George and the "dance moves" were embarrassingly lame. PK seemed genuinely touched at the party, which was nice.
And Dorit, you have NO business complaining that Teddi talked about you when she did NOT name you. Maybe you should consider the fact that, although Teddi didn't name you, Lisa VP immediately knew it was you.
And Lisa VP, don't tell Dorit about the chat with Teddi, you knew you were stirring up a hornet's nest.
Cuddos to Kyle for attempting to bring a rational voice, but it was doomed to fail.

Erika said she went to all of Tom's meetings. A large part of Tom's job is meeting with clients-who are not upper crust they are ordinary people who have to band together to form a class of people who have been damaged. It is not about fancy dinners. So I think she paid her dues. Many of Tom's cases are outside the greater Los Angeles area.
Unless she was an employee of his there is no way Erika should have been at any client meetings. He’d be breaking Attorney-client privilege to allow a third party at the meeting. And at this point at least, I doubt he attends many client meetings anyway. If he’s that “high end” in plaintiff personal injury work, lower level partners, associates and paralegals do all the leg work. Heck, many times the plaintiff isn’t even the most important person/witness in a PI case.

Raised hardcore Catholic here and I have absolutely never been taught that anyone attending the service should send food, flowers, etc. They come to the service to pay their respects to the dead and to their family and that alone is appreciated (in my family.) Close friends/family send things and people who have local businesses send larger quantity of things such as food and beverages because they are in a position to do so. I feel like my Italian and Irish family can be pretty intense, but I've literally never heard anyone grouse over someone not sending something after they've attended a funeral. They care if you showed up or not and showing up is really all that's expected. Honestly, we've always had way too much food and are begging people to take it home with them. Spending all these years living in NYC, I've been to plenty of Jewish services and there have absolutely been some where I haven't brought anything other than myself and my respects. Little did I know!
I also just can't imagine judging what someone sends. It seems very gross to me, particularly in the midst of losing someone.
Another Irish-Italian NYC born Catholic here. This is my memory too, show up at the wake and talk about the deceased, or re-connect with family you haven’t seen recently. If close family, go out to dinner. Some send Mass cards, but no one keeps track.
10 hours ago, zoeysmom said:Bethenny went to the memorial/funeral. I like the idea that Bethenny sent something to the event. I would never expect to be anything that didn't carry the Skinnygirl label. I am sure Jill enjoyed showing others that Bethenny cared enough to send something.
I do not believe she was in Aspen at the time. She was in Aspen before New Year's and a few days after. Perhaps she flew back to Aspen after the Skinnygirl Jean launch and turned around and came back?
I like your joke.
Hmmm, I thought the article said she chartered a plane to get back in time for the funeral.
the joke isn’t mine (this was a short version), but from a great 1960’s album “The Yiddish are Coming.” Done by the same comedy team that did an album of the Kennedy family when JFK was president. Why my Catholic parents had the former but not the latter is a mystery.

So there are degrees of custody. Jason traveled in the past for his job. So lets say he is now on the road M-TH (millions do this). So a third party (grandparent/nanny) pick Brynn up on Wednesday after school, Jason returns late Th night, spend F-Sun with Brynn, leaves her with nanny M-Wed school drop off. I actually know a parent that got full custody with the other parent just getting alternate weekends and 2 days connecting to those weekends IF he was in residence. The court sees third party custody as wrong. This is parents custody only.
But it’s still BS since there has been nothing to indicate it was true.
I'm not totally following your example here in terms of B and J. But I think B wants to avoid the joint decision making, in addition to changing the amount of time he has with Bryn. If she wants SOLE custody, she doesn't want to have to talk to Jason about any decision in Bryn's life. That sound right up her alley, but unfortunately for her my limited research of NY law would indicate she's got an uphill battle there.
I'd be pissed as a parent if my ex were having the child stay with a nanny (instead of me) on a regular basis. But then you just change the schedule for when each parent has physical custody of the child, not that you move for SOLE custody. People used to think that joint custody meant the child spent 50% of the time was spent with each parent, but that's rarely true (or workable).

Common practice to send food for Shiva. It’s about feeding the masses for days. So anything is welcome. We always send a case of mixed pop and a case of fancy water. We’ve never checked if it was a favorite of the deceased.
I seem to remember the tradition to bring food when you went to the home. Not that people had things delivered separately if they didn't go to the home.
Listen, the woman was in Aspen when Bobby died, she flew back very quickly in order to make it to the funeral. I'd cut her some slack on the shiva food/wine.
As to whether it is a favorite of the deceased, there's an old joke about the dying man whose son asks if there is anything he can get his father before he dies. The father says "your mother's apple strudel." Son comes back, no strudel, tells the father "Mama says you can't have any." Why? Because the strudel is for "after the funeral."

Custody case blurb:
“They’ve been butting heads since the day they split back in 201, and she’s telling friends that now she’s got some powerful ammunition to get him out of her life for good,” an insider reveals in a recent print issue of OK! Magazine."
Virtually impossibly to do. She might bet an arrangement where a third party acts as an intermediary between the parents (though that's rare too), but cutting all contact between father and daughter? He would need to be a pedofile or have tried to kill Bryn or something like that. Horrible parents get supervised visitation, at the worst.
I'd say the entire story was garbage (it's all third hand statements), but has it been confirmed she's re-opened the custody decision?

That might be difficult due to the clients not signing waivers to appear on camera. Or, she might not want to allow filming due to confidentiality, if she's serious about the career. [Looking at you every other housewife who has done fake therapy on camera.]

S08.E13: Crying Shame

From her husband's law firm.
