Bethenny Frankel: Skinny Girl

[SCS]

 We've been going back and forth about the posting of everything with Cookie with Brynn there.  

This just dawned on me:  For the last 3-4 years Bethenny has been in very hard situations- getting divorced and the apartment mess, getting then losing the talk show, rocky love life and then the stalking/harassment case against Jason.  She's been consistently under high stress and just lost it and did the thing that she knew to do.  Maybe it wasn't the next best thing though.

I now work as an RN at an acute care psychiatric hospital and see many patients under high stress for long periods of time who react in many detrimental ways.  Even in our own lives we can all point to a time that stress got the best of us.  

 

Disclaimer:

I am not diagnosing her with anything or at all suggesting that she has a mental illness or needs inpatient psychiatric care.       

 

Heh, no worries, crgirl412. In the PTV sandbox, Bethenny is regularly diagnosed with everything, from schizophrenia to piles with complications. You're good. ?

Wait, y'all's Uber doesn't do this stuff?  'Cause where I live, Uber drops me off at my door, they handle my luggage for me, they keep magazines and bottled water for riders...  And that is just the normal Uber, not the UberVIP. I would probably throw a fit too just because I'm used to that level of service from Uber. Hell, I just took an Uber yesterday that even got my two kids in and strapped my youngest in the carseat for me.  They won't even let me put the stroller in the trunk and make sure that I know they will put everything in the trunk for me and then they will carry it into my house for me.

My husband uses Uber all the time and his driver, he request the same guy, loads/unloads his luggage and pulls into the driveway but he doesn't bring the luggage to or into the house/airport. It is strictly curb/driveway service and he is a nice guy (the Uber driver that is [hubby is a great guy]) and when he is unavailable, which ever Uber guy that picks him up does the same, no more, no less.  LOL

Wow, that would stink if y'all had a long driveway!  Over here, Uber service is comparable to a private car.  All of our Ubers are Lexus cars which are the same ones that the private cars use.

Thankfully our driveway isn't long but it is a gravel driveway, not paved, so pulling the heavy suitcases is a job! LOL The guy is nice, reliable, keeps his car clean and was a taxi driver when my husband first met/hired him. He did the same thing when he drove a taxi. We've used limo services in the past as well and yes, they do come to the door and take the luggage to the car themselves but my husband doesn't feel the need for a limo even though his work pays for it.

Yeah, our transportation government agency runs Uber.  So, the private cars, taxis, and Ubers are all the same company.  If you are good, you move up from a taxi to an Uber and then to a private car/limo.  So, there is incentive to be good!

My Uber drivers have always handled my luggage for me in NYC and NJ. That said, I wouldn't pitch a fit if one didn't.

Exactly. Give him a poor review, don' take to twitter and demand he be fired.

Bethenny uses her twitter and instagram to validate every moment of her life. She needs followers/people to agree with her daily actions/decisions . 

She is absolutely not alone in this. Unfortunately this is the new reality.  

What a sad new world. Makes me feel worried for my grandchildren.

I hope that Brynn wasn't close by.

Ugh.  I know I'm late to the party, but holy fuck.  I have a friend who calls me EVERY SINGLE TIME they have an animal crisis and the last time I straight up told her not to call me anymore because I get LIVID and it stresses  me out so bad.  I worked in animal rescue for nearly twenty years and I'm trying to retire but they keep pulling me back in.  I just haven't got the stomach for it anymore plus I have my own very senior animals at home that need all my attention at this point in their lives.  Said friend waited at her house for over an hour for her son to drive in from out of town to take her seizing, elderly Pom to the the ER vet that was about 5 minutes away.  She just can't deal and it angries up my blood so much I want to punch something.  If you can't organize your life enough to pick up your sick animal and drive it to the vet, you have problems that I can't help you with.   Bethenny makes me sick, she is so vile, so narcissistic that I can't even fathom what it's like to live in her head.  She is a miserable person.

Oh, this is rich, so rich; Frankel is asking questions of her twitter followers as research for a dating app she's creating. ("Me: twice divorced narc meglomaniac into S & M -- Screed & Mindfuckery -- with a wild insatiable desire to torture someone for disobeying me & engage in verbal humiliation, water play,  vegan hotdog eating and terrifying legal games.

I didn't.  I don't like truffles and they were 20 dirhams (so around $5 USD).

Enh, it once operated as a bed and breakfast so I doubt she will convert it back to one.  She probably just wanted a larger place that was closer to town.  She got a great deal on it.

They did -- but I was wondering if Frankel had plans to renew the license (supposedly easily done for this property) and then shoot a Vanderpump-style reality show about the B & B. She can sweep in occasionally, control the editing (to make herself look like a hotshot) stay in reality tv (visibility) but without the blowback from the vicious shit she routinely pulls on RHoNY.

Its real. Though i dont think a premiere date has been set.

I doubt it about a reality show, Summer House has gotten a ton of pushback from filming at various places in the Hamptons.

It would be a smart move for her; she could finally control every facet of her "brand".

I went to Applebees once and the server didn't even pull my chair out for me. I did complain loudly when he refused to do this, but then he was very rude and demanded that I pull out my own chair.

They didn't clear my dishes as soon as I was finished eating.

They didn't refill my water often enough.

Just remembering the entire horrible experience makes me want to lose my shit.

I'll never go back.

And another time, I went to a lovely buffet, but they actually expected me to get up and fill my own plate! Can you believe it? When I complained that I had to get up and get my own food, the employee raised her voice and was very rude to me. I can't believe that that she wasn't fired.

I'll never go back.

Could be bullshit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true - a few months back, several of us (cynics that we are :) wondered if Frankel was gearing up for a custody fight, and using the legal system to gain leverage.

I also wouldn't be surprised (speculation) if the timeline for the custody fight was accelerated b/c Hoppy refused to allow Frankel to take Bryn to see the devastation in Puerto Rico over Christmas (which Frankel said she wanted to do, in a recent interview. A disaster zone of that magnitude is lot to ask a seven year old child to take in - and might cause trauma she can't process at such a young age - maybe Hoppy refused permission and Frankel lost it).

She is pure evil. I don't care how many skinny girl decals she slaps on a fleet of chartered jets under the guise of doing good. She is depriving her child of a healthy relationship with her father who loves her and that is wrong. I'm confident that deep in her head she thinks that because she didn't have a true father, Bryn doesn't need one, and that is fucked up. And she just wants to twist the knife in Jason's back, hurt him and deplete his financial resources even more. At Christmas. She is evil. I hope they throw out the case.

No surprise here! I suspected from the beginning that the stalking charges were nothing more than her setting up another run at sole custody, which is what she tried to get during the first custody battle. Bethenny wants Bryn to be as messed up as she is. She, Bethenny is one sick, twisted bitch! 

[Pickles]

Agree that she is trying to deplete him financially. She is such a control freak. She can't stand the thought of Jason having any influence over their daughter. She is a nightmare. 

[Ki-in]

She won't rest until Brynn is every bit as damaged as she is.

The was no reason at all for Dennis a boyfriend of like an hour (yeah she knew him 30 years, so what, her kid didn't know him from a stranger) to be doing daddy duty and picking Brynn up from school. She did that to provoke Jason and Dennis fell for it. She only knows how to use and abuse people and I hope the court sees through this and denies her claim and make her pay all court costs.

She brought a man expelled from college for rape allegations around her child and he's unfit? 

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

All of the above! Why would Bethenny invite/give Brynn the conflict that Bethenny experienced thru childhood ? Why can’t she foster what’s best for her child AND NOT BETHENNY. Bethenny is disgusting.
