I’m totally with you. This isn’t the place. All my best to everyone.

Where are you, though? Access to equipment varies by location.

Lara talked about it on Sexy Unique Podcast. He filed in 2012. Beau is an aka- my assumption is it’s a stage name he took on as an actor. His BK filing used both names- Robert Edward aka “Beau” Clark is how it referred to him, as I recall.

Nope - his name is Robert. Robert Edward Clark. I looked up his bankruptcy filing on pacer.

Those flowers Bethenny's boyfriend got her for her birthday are tacky af

Dorinda has a very nasty bullying streak. I personally think she’d be in her element as a mob wife. She’s envious of Tinsley because Tinsley is just a better person than she is, all round.

Ramona and Tinsley went out partying while the paramedics were in with Sonja. Why isn’t anyone mad at them?

I remember reading the same thing and figured they both may have had addiction problems.

Bethenny saying she would “knock Sonja out” was next level crazy, and proves she hasn’t healed her old abuse wounds. She never got proper therapy. Instead, she became addicted to fame.

Omg Luann with her horribly lame non-joke, “Jaws-vani.” Way to stick with current references, countess!

In some courts, trial proceedings happen not all at once (like an ordinary criminal trial), but in piecemeal sessions when the court can fit the proceedings into its calendar. I don’t practice in this court, but I once had a case in which a three day trial took place over the course of four months- a half a day at a time, when the court could squeeze us in. This custody dispute filed by Bethenny seems to operate the same way. Incidentally, my belief is that Bethenny has borderline personality disorder and unknowingly creates these conflicts, but then perceives herself to be the victim. It’s a classic scenario involving projective identification. She’s the one who tortured Jason, not the reverse, but when he reacts to her histrionics she thinks he’s the aggressor. Anyhow, it would be tragic for Brynn to lose her relationship with the Hoppys, whom I believe to be perfectly ordinary and decent people. I hope the judge sees Bethenny for who she is and that she loses this selfish battle.

Shannon's been hurting ever since we met her - she was in a toxic marriage (of which she was one of the two tangoers, I don't deny), and now she's in a divorce with a guy who has always struck me as emotionally inaccessible and prone to abusive hostility. She's at a low point among low points and is hurting and afraid. The complaint about the house isn't about the practical aspect of having to move, it's the frustration of the endless change, the inability to set roots, and the worry about whether she's falling short as a mother because she can't keep a consistent home. Is she acting self-centered, sure, she's deep in her shit. But she's not a true narcissist; she just seems like it right now because she's in such pain. The difference is that she's capable of apologizing and has the capacity for introspection, qualities you won't find in a real narcissist (ahem, Vicki). The way to change the behavior of someone who's hurting like that isn't to yell at them. It's to listen compassionately. She needs to heal all this hurt with the help a good therapist and the company of kind people. She chose the worst possible "friend" in Tamra. Tamra's the scorpion from the old fable, the one where the frog agrees (reluctantly) to give the scorpion a ride across a river. Halfway through, the scorpion stings the frog. As they're drowning, the frog asks why. The scorpion shrugs: "I'm a scorpion, it's what I do."
