nexxie August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 Actually, by including her dog in the picture, and saying MY sweet babies who gave ME endless unconditional love, Bethenny characteristically made the message more about herself than about Dennis. 16 Link to comment
Gam2 August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 nexxie, that’s exactly what I thought when I saw that photo. Can it be about Dennis since he just died instead of about you, just this once, Beth?! 10 Link to comment
BodhiGurl August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 56 minutes ago, Bronzedog said: I don't have a problem with the picture either. Bethenny loved Cookie dearly and Cookie didn't seem to like a whole lot of people but she obviously had no problem with Dennis. The thought of Cookie and Dennis being together again probably brings Bethenny some peace. If that's what the picture means to Bethenny, I'm fine with it. Totally agree. I saw the photo on Insta before I saw it over here and thought it was sweet, the caption was thoughtful, and the fact that she waited until today to say anything via social media was also thoughtful. I do hope she has some close friends to lean on. 20 Link to comment

If she has narcissistic personality disorder (likely imo), she really doesn’t see others as real, separate, valuable individuals, but only in terms of how they help (or hurt) herself. She could have posted a good photo of Dennis doing something he loved, and made it about him and his life - including Dennis as a father, which was probably very important to him. 12 Link to comment

Sure. No one would be complaining that Bethenny the other woman, posting a picture that emphasized Dennis as a father of children with you know, his wife Jill, wasn't in good taste. But I admit to not being shocked that a tasteful photo with a kind sentiment is deemed terrible. *for the record, I think she went with this photo despite the flaws in the eyes because while she probably has better pictures, but they are likely of Dennis and *her* and she's trying to express her grief without getting in the way of the wife and kids. 20 Link to comment

Much was made about how Brandy made the tribute more about her versus Monica’s tribute, which was about Whitney.

I think the idea here is someone accidently dropping the oxy in the sink, taking the tablets out of the water and then taking them *later*. The problem being once the water hits the early release coating it starts to work even if you dry the tablet off, thereby screwing up the release of the drug. 16 Link to comment

Popular Post gundysgirl August 14, 2018 Popular Post Share August 14, 2018 So sad all the way around. My two cents, which are not worth that.... Fuck anyone that tries to say anything Bethenny did contributed to his death. That is the kind of thinking that makes this whole thing something that is misunderstood and stigmatized. The picture of Dennis and the dog was sweet We still, after years, have zero idea what was going on with Dennis and his wife. No idea that she was hurt, saddened or displeased with his relationship with Bethenny. She seems to have moved on. For all we know, she moved on first. We know that they cared deeply about each other which is wonderful for their kids. We know that they still felt love for each other, but there are many types of love outside of romantic love. His addiction (if it was that) didn't have to be caused by family issues, financial troubles, or dealings with M. Cohen. He could have simply become dependent on them. I am dealing with a smart, beautiful sister with the same problem. A girl who lives a life others only dream of. With a loving husband and 3 beautiful kids. Has never had a drink of alcohol or an illegal substance in her life. Yet she became addicted after a back injury. We only just found out 2 years into her addiction. And only because she didn't have unlimited resources and turned to stealing from her church that she loved and attended faithfully for 10 years. Her husband and family had zero clue. And now she wants nothing but the feeling Oxy gives her. RIP Dennis 38 Link to comment

bagger August 14, 2018 Share August 14, 2018 The mystery of the umbrella holder: a driver normally carries the umbrella because they’ll hold it while they open the door so that the occupant does not get wet. They will continue to provide cover for the drivee until they are under cover. They will then keep the umbrella so that the drivee never has to deal with what to do with a wet umbrella. Yes indeed I have written that SOP for a hotel I worked for many years ago. ? 13 Link to comment

Bethenny is extremely fit and can hold her own umbrella or wear a trench coat/rain slicker and a hat. Bethennys outfit was tasteful, modest and not attention getting.

I remarked about it once before, when she was photographed (not at a funeral) with an official umbrella holder (may have been her previous driver) and was told that it was no.big.deal. Uh huh. 5 Link to comment

Certainly we can make it as big a deal as we want. All drivers hold umbrellas. All doormen hold umbrellas. I can always spot the professional umbrella holders because they have the biggest umbrellas. The MM is not a professional. He had a personal size umbrella. Interesting development on PageSix - they have started pulling the Dennis stories from display. So someone finally hired a publicist and told them to get this under control. I’m guessing Bethenny but it could be Jill or Dennis’s firm. 6 Link to comment

And better than the Zarin funeral ensemble I did not care for the Squeaky Fromme hat if I am being honest here bless me lord for I have sinned it has been one day since my last shallow confession. I can beat this! Beth’s dress was modest, tasteful, and appropriate in design (Victoria Beckham?) but hot dog is it tight. She’s built like a tween athlete with big implants but...up a size is not an offensive phrase. Separately, I am also open to the idea that Dennis’s wife’s “side” or people could be floating stories. I think the theory that they may not have divorced to keep a forensic accounting permanently at bay is a good one. Law Cash is apparently super great for covering happy family European vacays for 6, and can pay for many Permanently Surprised “procedures” as sported by a $$$ girl of a certain age in parts of the tri-state, to boot...then again, maybe Beth hasn’t learned her lessons from Jason, that tabloid bs can hurt both the leaker and the leakee.
