I, too have leaky gut syndrome/ wheat and gluten intolerance, and it sucks. Maybe Bethenny will develop a gluten/wheat free bread that doesn’t taste like cardboard! ( not holding much hope). Instead of Skinny Girl she could call it Shitty Girl.....

My body doesn’t process gluten very well, gluten intolerant (which is much better than Celiac). And I totally agree almost all gluten free/wheat free breads suck.  

I like the gluten free pasta that is a combination of corn and rice.

There are lots of yummy gluten free crackers, Nut Thins are awesome (they already have thin in their name - so that should either annoy Bethenny or make her happy (betting on the former).

Pamela’s and Annie’s have excellent gluten free snacks.

I am, however, a skeptic of Bethenny’s ever growing food allergies.  

Bethenny makes me sad. She has brains, money, intelligence but she’s still miserable. She also makes others miserable. 

She, like many real housewives and people in general, will remain miserable until they decide to get real with themselves, get counseling, break down and then build them back up. I speak from personal experience.

Yeah, it seems money can’t buy happy, healthy, stable relationships. It’s interesting that none of the women are currently in long-term stable relationships (I don’t consider John as Dorinda’s actual boyfriend because I don’t think she does). These women have more money and connections than a lot of people and yet they all seem unhappy or unfulfilled.

I love Ancient Harvest Corn/Quinoa pasta and CrunchMaster crackers—and I don’t have a gluten issue, they’re just delicious! oh—and Pamela’s Whenever Bars: also delicious. I ADORE Don’t Go Nuts bars—and I stockpile those for traveling to make sure I have a nut-free snack. They’re also GF.

If Bethenny can enter the Top 8-free market with good snacks, more power to her. (She’ll act like she invented it, but whatever)

message, Frankel added, "Well, something is amiss. I will not explain how I know her because that would betray confidence but something is off here. That I can assure you."

Frankel later deleted all three tweets about Jackson.

No one else but RHONY and Shark Tank will allow her actual face or voice. She cannot sustain a show on her own (her failed talk show/Sirius radio show) or with one other (Fredrik).  Production is fine for her, because she isn't on camera, even then they will not tolerate her annoying voice, bossy, stupid advice for very long.

She won't give up RHONY. It provides her with all the camera time that she craves. Without this show, she would die of thirst rather quickly.

They most likely do have a water source, the green design foam which makes it heavy.   Tinslee‘s did look like a funeral spray. The design style is Pave which was a European influence many years ago, but looks like its back.  I think it’s a shame to cut stems, but then again broken flowers don’t get tossed they get jammed into an arrangement.  Everything has changes, hair ,clothes interior design.

I doubt Jill has any interest in that ring.  She has bigger issues and probably needs Bethenny to keep some of Dennis' business secrets.

I think the reason Dennis and Jill were not divorced was because of his business.   It's a common practice and likely that Dennis used Jill's name on some of the incorporation, LLC, partnership agreements, etc. he had as well as joint income tax returns.  Knowing how business savvy Bethenny is, chances are she knew at least some of the details.   We can't forget that Dennis was friends with Michael Cohen and lived in Trump Tower.   Jill is probably hoping Bethenny doesn't tell anyone what she knows about his business which she now owns.

No I do not have any proof.  I keep reading posts that state what Dennis had or bought (like the ring) now belongs to Jill.     Typically the wife inherits.   Are his children old  or experienced enough to take over his business?  Partnership arrangements vary but I'm sure Dennis provided for

Unless she is also a lawyer she can’t be a coowner of a law firm or get a part of the profits the partnership agreement would need a buyout.

She can’t be an owner “partner” of the firm if not an attorney.  But his partnership share (ownership %) would be paid out to the estate.

but did he have a law firm?  I thought I read that he had a business loaning plaintiffs money for during their lawsuits, and they got their money back (with interest) after settlement.

some of these companies have branched out to, with the assistance of personal injury plaintiffs lawyers, pay for various surgeries for plaintiffs, and again, get the money after a case settles.  It’s been happening with the vaginal mesh cases, and many of the women end up far worse than they were, with little or no settlement money at the end (because these cases can drag on and the interest is. High).  It’s predatory, IMO.

Edited to add:  I hadn’t seen AnnA’s comment about the source of his money, thanks!

That he was worth $11MM makes me even more suspicious about the ring.  I swear I’ve seen her with 2 different rings, one square shaped, one oval or rectangular.  Both humongous and must have cost a fortune if real.  Just seems out of kilter for his net worth (half of which he was likely to have had to give to the wife in any divorce).  But aren’t the apartments where he lived very expensive (refuse to type the name!😇😈).  

And yes, generally you can’t disinherit your spouse.  If you try, the spouse can still get their share.

I know -- eleven million does seem like bullshit money given his wife,  four kids + college,  his apartment (in that place; ) and as you said, two big diamonds (the one Frankel flashed on Instagram, and this one on the show). 

Maybe the rings are as fake as their engagement? ; )

It's a trade organization for legal financiers. The most important thing that the association does is lobby to exempt legal financiers from banking regulations and regulations in general. The other thing the association does is come up with their own voluntary code of conduct that legal financiers should follow.

Aren’t most of them finished or close to finishing college? The oldest is 25 and the youngest 18ish.

According to one of the articles about his passing:

Quote

2016 separation and have four children, college student Kelsey, Zachary, 23, Tyler, 24, and Darien, 20.

unless it’s a poorly written sentence only one of them was in college at the time of his death. Tyler’s birthday was shortly after his dad died. It’s the Daily Mail so 50/50 on whether it was a poorly written sentence.

Since so many college kids are on the 5-6 year plan now (even those who are wealthy and don’t need to go part-time and work), who knows how many are still in school.

that apt is both non-descript and tacky.  I know “he who shall not be named by me” loves those gold fixtures, but everywhere I see newish construction it’s nickel plated now.  And I know marble can be expensive, but it seems kinda cold for living space.  It’s a good size for a NY apt, even high end, but a lot of space is wasted on the foyer and hallway to the living room.  Now I can’t recall if there was a hall closet. Don’t get me started on the bathrooms.  The crown molding seems skimpy.  Lord I do love to rip on real estate!

Either the reported $11MM is way off or he was living off credit.  How do you even own a $4.5MM apt if your net worth is $11MM?  I assume the wife stayed in the marital apt, which is likely larger and more expensive.  Or maybe the $11MM is his half.

And Dennis died in it. It is creepy and sad. Addiction is such a tragic thing. To live in a palace that 95% of the world's population could never have access to, and die of an addiction in said palace, it was something that was ahead of his riches and his 4 kids. Just sad.

The apartment looks dated.  Trump Tower was completed in 1983.  The gold trim around the tub sliders are old as well as all the faucets.  Looking very early 1990's. 

Just an fyi:  I believe Jill lives out on their estate on Long Island.  That could be part of his supposed wealth.
