    Bethenny Frankel: Skinny Girl

    She must be seething that she didn't get the "host" gig. On this show, she has the VPR status of "Guest"

    I agree. She most definitely would have preferred to be host. However I do believe it's just embarrassing for her to be part of this. I wonder what spin she will put on it as she tried to portray Money Court as an amazing show and The Big Shot as better than The Apprentice. Both huge fails.

    I also have to side eye Paul as he is this  "Producer" and yet he is backing Bethenny in these silly projects. What a sucker.

    There is a new game show, hosted by David Spade coming to FOX, airing at the end of September. Isn't a game show, reality TV?

    Bethenny has bragged about walking away from multiple TV show offers. Why did she choose this ridiculous one? It just reeks of desperation.

    Does she not realize that this will make her look like a joke? After this who could possibly take her seriously? She went on about what a fabulous show Money Court was going to be and that they were already talking about a second season. Now this? It's just embarrassing at this point.

    Well folks, here she is in all her glory. She is basically admitting that she exploited Rachel to make her podcast NUMBER ONE! And she can't help but namedrop at the same time.

    I honestly wonder about Paul (who just aimlessly follows her around in her Instagram posts with a dumb look on his face). I'm starting to think he must have something wrong with him to support this crazy woman. I can't believe that he is okay to have his kids be around this kind of manic personality. They must be so embarrassed. 

    She's become more and more unhinged. I can't see how she can sink any lower, but then again.....

    Edited to add my favorite response to this:

    "She literally sounds like she snorted some rails, inhaled some helium, and turned on a mic"

    I could see her trying to "partner" with someone who has the money, experience, etc. like Mark Burnett.

    I think Mark Burnett is done with Bethenny. That ship has certainly sailed.

    https://people.com/tv/bethenny-frankel-ended-business-deal-mgm-mark-burnett/

     I'm pretty sure that they didn't let Bethenny take the reins on production because she fucks up everything that she tries to co-produce. She can't handle not being in control but she can't help but try to Bethenny centre any show she produces and each time it fails.

    I'm not convinced she is mad at Bravo, just cutting them loose and moving on.  She has enough money now not to worry about making any and so she doesn't have to ever go back there. 

    No, she doesn't have to go back there but she wants the option to go back there regardless. She's definitely mad at Bravo and she'll never move on.

    She's still doing her ReWives podcast and profiting off housewives episodes while being disgusted with the exploitation of reality talent. What a hypocrite.

    Just six months ago, in March, she pitched a show to Bravo about rich people and their kids in Westport Connecticut, purportedly starring the daughter of Susan Sarandon. The project was "shelved" after a conflict between Bethenny and production. Bethenny conflict? Shocker.

    Bethenny has not forgiven Andy for making comments about her ReWives podcast when she last appeared on WWHL. He and Jeff Lewis both made fun of the fact that she was trashing the housewives shows, then suddenly announces that she's doing a podcast about housewives shows.

    She wanted Andy to comment on her podcast interview with Jill, but when asked about it "He gave a BIG sigh and said it felt very 2012 but he hadn't listened yet and that was old RHONY and now it's all about the new RHONY" (this from a person in the audience at WWHL) That comment must have really pissed her off, basically saying she's just not relevant anymore.

    She's salty because she's always said Bravo's door will always be open to her, but it's not true.

    When it comes to Bravo Bethenny denies that she cares over and over and then goes nuclear.

    I suspect that she's jealous that Luann and Sonja's show Welcome to Crappie Lake is getting very positive reviews and viewers are hoping for a second season. After Bethenny's failed attempt at producing her own TV shows that must really sting. She's made some disparaging comments about Crappie Lake on her podcast, saying that her "YouTube TV Show" has more viewers  than Crappie Lake. (Yes, she actually refers to YouTube as her TV show.) If that's the case then I should tell all my friends that my grandkids have their own TV Shows.

    I don't know if anyone saw it but this week Carole was on the Juicy Scoop podcast with Heather McDonald (I know Heather is not very popular) Carole dropped a tidbit about the It's About Tom situation, saying that a few months ago she ran into Michael Cohen and he told her that he was the one who took the picture of Tom and the woman at the Regency. Bethenny immediately posted on TikTok that it was in fact a woman who took the picture and that she still has the text. (which she did not show). Soon after she deleted the post when people went back and watched the episode and Bethenny was heard to say that it was A GUY that sent her the pic. So she was caught in a big fat lie. She does tend to post and delete when she gets called out in the comments. 

    The timing of her turning on Bravo is suspect. I believe that the debut of the new RHONY made her realize that she can't say Bravo wants her back anymore. She really loved reminding us of that.  Just recently she said that she would do Ultimate Girls trip for a million dollars. She's such a flip flopper.

    Love this description of Bethenny's response. When I heard that laugh "at the top of her lungs" all I could think of was this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLtFUWzpKQE&ab_channel=ogrebeast64!

    Bethenny Frankel's daughter, Bryn, is getting real about what it's like to have the Skinnygirl founder and former "Real Housewives of New York City" star as her mom.

    "You can tell the truth," Frankel told her daughter.

    "It's crazy," Bryn, 13, told Hoda Kotb June 27 during TODAY's fourth hour.

    After hearing her reply, Frankel, who was filling in for Jenna Bush Hager, laughed at the top of her lungs.

    "What's crazy about it?" Hoda asked with a smile.

    "Like, all of the stories and everything," Bryn said.

    (Yes Bryn, we have heard all of the stories and everything. We know, we really do)

    She posted six photos of her, her daugher, and Paul on IG, and she wished him a Happy Father's Day. 

    I'm sure that would have made his own kids feel great. He has a daughter the same age as Bryn. I saw Bryn's recent birthday photos posted by Bethenny. She had a getaway with a group of girls. Paul's daughter was not among them.

    I would not be surprised if Paul's kids have very little contact with Bethenny, if any.  On Reddit Real Housewives there was a question once asking people if they had met any housewives in person and one response was from the wife of Paul's cousin.  Someone asked about Bethenny's relationship with Paul's family and the answer was "It's been......interesting".

    She hated Jason's family. I doubt that she has been welcomed into the Bernon family with open arms. 

    Paul has a large family, many siblings. He was partnered in business with his brother. I don't know if that's still the case. It's not hard to imagine Bethenny causing a rift there. His mother runs a school for people with disabilities. He has a brother with William's Syndrome. I wonder how they felt when this brash, know-it-all woman who loves to brag about being the first to do "insert anything and everything here", and has experience in every business possible came around.

    S12.E24: Reunion, Part 3

    Andy Cohen said that Rinna's envelopes contained “receipts" relating to the Elton John benefit, so I guess Rinna didn’t lie about it after all.

    If the envelopes contained "receipts" relating to the Elton John benefit, why did Rinna post this on her Instagram just before the reunion?  u8p1vxyqmyi91.thumb.webp.2e0c0a7a29197f9a2570fd62f6d65e01.webp

    S12.E14: Shameless Not Ruthless

    in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

    16 hours ago, realityplease said:

    Several times this year & last (gotta love you, you're tenacious) we explained to you that as to Erika & now, Rinna, NO ONE is required to use "indisputable facts" to form their beliefs.  It's not "audacious" to base our beliefs on what we're shown -  what they say & how they act.  Even in civil lawsuits, for most claims, a jury needs only to find a "preponderance of the evidence," i.e., "more likely than not" or 51% certainty as opposed to merely 50/50 --- NOT INDISPUTABLE FACTS.  NONE of us have direct evidence of what's in Rinna's heart/mind, so we look at her words, her demeanor, her prior & current acts.  And many of us have decided that she's not believable.  You decided the opposite. (Without, I might add, indisputable facts.) No need whatsoever to place such a high burden on us to justify our conclusions.  It's not required in the course of human dealings or even in courts.   

    There's much we can't know. You stated in prior postings, with certainty nonetheless, that Rinna loved Lois & grieves for her & Girardi paid Erika's bills & she was clueless about the money.  None of that's a given.  You want to err on the side of benefit to them - fine.  We don't impugn your statements as audacious or question your right to reach those opinions -- despite YOUR lack of indisputable facts - we just don't agree.

    So if Rinna didn't seek charitable contributions in Lois' memory (as many do) but instead, shilled lipstick to "honor" her (with profits to Rinna, not to any charity) & sobbed in a way that seemed performative - we CHOSE to question her motives. No need to rag on us. You just came to a different belief after seeing the same things.

    THIS 100%. 

    I have watched many court trials where defendant/witness have cried or lied on the stand in the same manner that Rinna does, with no tears or signs of real emotion. The purpose is to elicit sympathy and distract from their wrongdoings. The jury and in many cases the judge sees right through it. It's safe to say that it's fair because a person is judged by a jury of one's peers.

    You are correct, there is nothing wrong with us coming to our own conclusions and commenting on Rinna's credibility based on what we've observed. We are a very mixed group here and it's fair of us to judge Rinna's actions. It's also just as fair for people to choose to believe her. 

    Based on what I've seen through past episodes I also felt that Rinna was exploiting her Lois for camera time. This was reinforced by Rinna's complaint about wanting more focus on her greif storyline. It's all good that she is doing her job, but if she's putting herself out there she will have to deal with an angry backlash from viewers. She also has a tendency to lash back in ugly ways, which makes it all worse for her.

    I just rewatched that episode (S5E6 Medford 90210). Rinna talks about not feeling like she belonged in Medford, her daughters point out different fast food restaurants and ask if there are a lot of chub chubs. Lisa says, "I try to get back to Medford about once a year with the girls, and now more often because of my parents" (there's then discussion of her parents' age and failing health).

    I'm not a fan of Rinna, but I think it's important to put the rumor to rest that she admitted to rarely visiting.

    She tries to get back to see her parents about once a year? That's just so vague. Sounds like "I try to see them but I really don't". About once a year could mean maybe every couple of years, depending on her filming, QVC, practicing her Instagram dance moves etc.

    Just because she feels like she doesn't belong there is no excuse for rarely visiting. She even admitted that her half sister takes care of her parents.  I'd love to hear Nancy's side of it. She must be livid that Rinna is using her mom as a prop for the show. 

    I'm definitely not buying Rinna's "greif"

    ( She really needs to learn how to spell, now that she has all this extra time not visiting Lois)

    Yes, Rinna. Lois deserved much more, when she was alive and living in Medford. Shame on you.

    Bethenny is certainly circling the drain.

    All of her solo enterprises have failed. Talk show. Cancelled. Sirius FM Radio Show. Fired. Bethenny and Fredrik. Cancelled after one season .Big Shot with Bethenny. Cancelled after horrible reviews.

    Recently, her book has failed. Her podcast has tanked.

    She has now realized that she cannot make it on her own and is so desperately trying to become relevant by attaching herself to other people. Kevin O'Leary's ridiculous Money Court that failed after a first four episodes. Griffin Johnson, 21 year old tiktok kid who is suddenly her adopted son and big brother to Bryn? 

    And then this
    :"Speaking of the franchise in #11, one of the stars who will not be returning had a big meeting with this A- list actress/snake oil salesperson about how they could work together selling crap products.

    RHONY/Bethenny Frankel/Gwyneth Paltrow"

    She is now calling herself a "beauty influencer" promoting cheap dollar store cosmetics. Now she comes up with a wine?

    Oh Bethenny. To quote the words of another housewife "If everyone says you're dead, then it's time to lie down!"
