It’s a tragedy if Bethenny didn’t know about Dennis’s alleged addiction, and this news came to her as a sudden shock. I certainly wouldn’t blame her for his ability to hide it. And it’s a tragedy

Is Beth going to post something when Bryn starts menstruating?

LOL (she's already building the SkinnyGirl menstrual hut, HooDooz ; ) 

The logistics around that picture feel very odd  -- did Frankel stage it directly? ("Hey, peanut, go look at Cookie's photo like you do when you're crying") or indirectly ("Isn't that a sweet picture of Cookiedabooboo?") or did she come upon Bryn crying in front of Cookie's photo and record her ("What a perfect instagrammable moment! Bite me, Kodak!") Every version of how that photo came into the world  -- plastered with a big red heart and a live link to a dead dog's insta page -- is emotionally manipulative. She painted her ex as a vengeful monster for giving Bryn a hotdog without her royal approval, but this kind of emotional manipulation is A-ok? You go, SkinnyGirl, you go. Can't wait for your book about mothering.

Now she is being called out, and it's "freaking her out" (as she said to Carole).

Yes - Frankel has gotten so used to bullying people (from slut-shaming Luann to harping on an uber driver -- oh, the irony) she likely thought she could flatten Radziwill like a cartoon steamroller. But Radziwill had receipts and kept showing them (despite Frankel defaulting to the saddest ploy in the world -- "You want a judge here? You wanna go to court?" -- this,  from the woman who runs to court the way the rest of us run to CVS).

 

Quote

Also, I have to wonder why Bethenny feels that she has to document every hour of her life on Instagram? Most people like to take photos and videos of special moments but posting random food, balloons floating around her house and Biggie/Smalls laying around looking bored? It appears that she has a very lonely life. 

And leave your kid out of it. Nobody needs to see Bryn reading, swimming, playing with her stuffed animals, or hearing her voice in almost every instastory Frankel does --  it feels like she's trying to lay the groundwork for that mother-daughter show she wanted years ago, via insta.

 

Quote

Bravo needs to bring in someone new next year who won't kowtow to her, someone who will call BS on her when she tries to lie her way out of situations.

They do need someone to call Frankel out, and Bravo's  best pick would be a Bethenny Frankel type, circa 2008, to take on the person Frankel has become - Skinnygirl 2.0

Say what?

The name "cookiedabooboo" leads to Cookie's instagram page.

Tinsley really better watch her back. Bethenny doesn't like her in the slightest, and any little thing (like daring to look in Bethenny's direction at a dinner table) is cause for Bethenny to snap like the asshole she is. 

The preview clip for this week's episode has Bethenny snotting about Tinsley to LuAnn. Bethenny loves thinking that she doesn't take herself seriously, but if that's the case, she should adore Tinsley since Tinsley is pretty easy going and lighthearted. Instead, Bethenny wants to lament her torturous internal organs, wants to talk about how life is so hard because she didn't have a home, because she's in custody proceedings that are dragging out...all while still believing she doesn't take herself seriously. 

Tinsley is next.   Jill will be back and we'll be back to the OG's of NYC (sans Alex who will never be back).

I love how with one text about Carole, B has kept herself in the news cycle all week. As a marketing professional with over 15 years experience I do admire her ability to keep.her name out there. This sort of thing helps to line her pockets. It's just more brand recognition for her since the average viewer isn't really that invested in the Carole vs. B drama - good and bad it's just so much free branding.

Carole, Dorinda and Ramona will try to pile it on Bethenny at  the reunion.  The result will be endless fan discussion and comments about Bethenny making Bravo and Andy very happy.    In Bravo RealityTVLand the HW who generates the most buzz wins.   So what did all this feuding accomplish?   Carole doesn't have a job anymore and Bethenny will probably get a raise.

So does Vicki Gunvalson. Not necessarily a good thing.

I don't think Bethenny and Vicki are in the same league business-wise. But I bet you Vicki does get lots of insurance business from being on the show. Sadly for Vicki though, "scamming" and "insurance" are two words that should not be connected.

Bethenny is more like, "Wow, that lady who makes the skinny girl popcorn is a real bitch, huh?" Not really related.   If she was accused of poisoning someone I can see it affecting her food sales though.

There's always next season...

And I'm sure after all these years Vicki and Bethenny are crying laughing all the way to the bank

 

I don't really like Bethenny, but I would never compare her to Vicki. Bethenny sold her Skinnygirl Cocktails to Beam Suntory for millions upon millions, got her own Bravo spin-off, and came back to Real Housewives to earn at least a million dollars per season. Vicki has been grinding on this show for 14 years and is now earning $750K, still selling insurance, involved in multiple failed businesses, and is clearly a schnook ready to be taken by any guy who pays her a compliment. I guess that's how the two are similar. Neither can pick a half decent guy to save their lives and even if they do, they often run the guy off.

100% agree.

But, I'm fixated on this:  "I don't really like Bethenny,...: That's don't really like (implying a teensy bit of existing or potential like) vs. I really don't like (no hope).  And you said, I don't really like...so...

Come to the dark side, Hunter! We have popcorn and diet margaritas that taste fine by the time you get to your third or fourth one, and provided you have a mouth full of very strong peppermints first. What are you going to get from Carole besides seven freezer burned Totinos pizza rolls that have been in her freezer since 2015? Dorinda -- frankly, the risk of injury from one of her "falling" objets d'art is too high. Tinsley? How much "girl time" French braiding and doodling boys names into notebooks can one stand really? Luann, count on frequent lectures on appropriate forms of address while you attempt to run from police: "One correctly says, "I'm going to kill you, Officer Johnson."" Sonja or Ramona, the official "and the rest" Gilligan's Island equivalent? No.  That leaves just one housewife...

Lack of food doesn't bother me because I can cook...more than just sexy salads too. For dinner tonight, I took some homemade chicken demi-glace, bacon, onion, garlic, ginger, bonito, kombu, sake, miso and soy sauce to make a lazy ramen broth. I boiled some regular spaghetti with baking soda to get a ramen noodle texture. I took some pork and shrimp meatballs that I made a while ago, Trader Joe's pork belly, and bok choy and threw them in to make a fairly solid 20 minute ramen. 

And Friday was pizza night for me. I brought homemade dough, marinara, pesto, meatballs (onions, garlic, zucchini, ground turkey, bacon, breadcrumbs, egg, oregano, basil, parsley, and parmesan), faux nduja, some sausage, bacon, pepperoni, arugula, spinach, and brussel sprouts over to my brother's house and let the kids go wild. We used my pizza stones and cast iron skillet.

I've got my own objets d'art including some Jean Cocteau and Felix Idubor pieces. I find Tinsley to be a mostly amusing curiosity, but she'd probably annoy the shit out of me in real life because we kind of went to high school in the same social set and I have always found those assholes to be awful. I've always thought Luann was an insufferable poseur and snob. Sonja is a snob with no receipts; there isn't even a SKU to ring up her shit. I have even made meatballs in my toaster oven. And Ramona...I'm increasingly of the belief that she's on the spectrum.

I'm going to try to tempt you to the Hunter-side. We've got homemade food, crafted cocktails with custom infused alcohol and bitters and custom mocktails, and the freedom to find any of the housewives to be an insufferable asshole depending on the episode.

Well, in the end, it's not about how large your bank account is.  It's about how happy you are.  Vicks, Carole and Beth may have different balances but none of them are suffering for lack of money.  Carole may have some stuff but it's no where on the same scale of Beth or Vicks.  At least, she gets that it's time to get off.  Beth and Vicks are addicted to being housewives. 

On another note, if my ex wife was posting stuff about my daughter looking at the photo of a dog every day, I would be kind of livid.  Especially since that daughter was exposed to her mother being a freaken lunatic on SM about the dog having seizures and not knowing what to do.  Talk about traumatizing your kid.

Well thanks HunterHunted! Now not only am I starving, and obsessing over your menu, but I will be spending the next few hours googling Jean Cocteau and Felix Idubor! I want to live in your world.

It was so hot tonight, all I could eat was a bag of Smartfood -- YES OKAY A BIG BAG   (stop looking at me all judgy, like Sonja eyeing her own pudenda & sizing up her mound o' venus for a deer monogram -- as if none of you ever found yourself covered in popcorn dust, an empty bag rustling on the table, your hand searching madly in the bag for another handful of kernals as you wonder how you got to the bottom of the bag so fast -- Fuck! Maybe the Borrowers are real after all?

When Bethenny says Carole wants "young, light, no responsibility", Lu cleverly chimes in, "like her men". This is why I have no problem with Carole's tweet about Lu earlier this week. The former Mrs. D'Agostino has no leg to stand on when it comes to shading romantic partners.

Also in the second clip Bethenny talks up Sonja and how "fun" she is, lamenting how Carole takes herself "very seriously". Looks like someone renewed their subscription to Convenient Theories for You Monthly (tm Miranda Hobbs).

It is quite funny that Bethenny has chosen Sonja and Lu as her allies. 

Sonja: Delusional, ass exposing, toaster oven maven, dirty, gross....etc.

Luann: stealer of kid's money, reunion skipper, ....etc.

Carole has not really chosen any allies. She is good to go all on her own. She needs no one.

One giant difference between C&B is that Carole is very comfortable in her own skin - and Bethenny is allergic to herself.

I wonder if her toilet water is a Skinny Girl red instead of the plebian blue.  It would make for a rather sobering morning after pee, wouldn't it?  ;-)

For some reason, that sounds like something Sonja would proudly hawk.  She could pair that with a product called 'The Jitney Jumpsuit.'  It comes complete with a built-in diaper for those long rides out to the Hamptons.  The shit-and-go product of the year.  

ETA:  I'm not making fun of people who need adult diapers.  Sonja lives in shit at home, but yet she won't use the toilet on the bus.  Go figure.
