You read my mind. I don’t see Frankel’s features in Bryn at ALL. Yes, mothers love their daughters unconditionally, but Bryn looks exactly like Jason and Jason’s mom!! I doubt that would’ve been Frankel’s first choice.

Hotwire come they are still married?  What are they fighting about now?  Wtf, not Hotwire, I meant “how come”.  Auto correct not correct.

Hi All, my PVR says that Bethenny is scheduled to be on the Drew Barrymore show tomorrow.

Where I live that's 2 PM EST on Fox, but I think everywhere is different.

Thanks.  Drew is on here in N. Y. 9 am, ch 2 (CBS).  She was on The Real this morning talking about her new Pod cast, or whatever that is.  She had work done on her face.  Lots.

     I thought Byrn looked so much like Jason ever since she was a toddler.  I wondered if Bethenny saw him every time she looked at her.  
     I can’t understand why the divorce is going on and on, it’s ridiculous!  Bethenny just doesn’t want Jason to have any say in decisions regarding Byrn.  I hope B is paying Jason’s legal fees.  I feel sorry for Jason.  Wasn’t one of her issues with him that everyone thought he was such a great guy?   I don’t think he knew what hit him after the marriage.  Yes, the texting and what happened at Bryn’s school was too much.  I can totally see how Bethenny could push someone too far.  I haven’t seen any unfavorable comments from him about her, and Bethenny said plenty of negative about Jason and his parents on the show.  They should both learn to parent equally and amicably but Bethenny is way to controlling to do that.  She knows what’s best for Byrn because she thinks she is a know-it-all.

Yes, but it's just the latest in a series.  Screengrab from the breast squeezing video.  All to sell SkinnyGirl shapewear.  Nothing is out of bounds for this chick.

Jason must just love this picture.  What exactly is she trying to say here?  I think she does this on purpose.

I saw this on Twitter and thought it was interesting.  It’s Bethenny’s mother at her second wedding.  Her mom is really beautiful.  Bethenny adds that this is proof she always had a button nose.  I wonder what the true story is behind their astrangement.  We all know B said she had a tortured childhood and that her mom claimed that she invented the Skinny Girl Margarita.  I just wish we knew the whole story.

She is jealous of her mother's natural beauty.

[bosawks]

Is Beth going for Wraith because unless she is I honestly do not know what look she is going for.

I'll give her credit for going for a different type of too much work look than the typical, points of originality I guess.

[Hangin Out]

There Is one thing that drives me nuts about Bethenny.  Whenever she cries, which is often, she sniffs her mucus back up into her nose.  Who wants to hear that?  Carry a damn tissue or five and blow your nose for goodness sakes.  We don’t want to hear your phlem being drawn up back into your system.  Gross.  She does that all the time.

There’s an old saying.  When hearing a story, knock off 50 percent, then divide the rest by three, and there’s your truthful answer.  We never heard her Mothers side of the story.  She should write a book.  I believe Beth’s version, but you never know.

This photo encapsulates why women like Kelly, Tinsley, Jules, and Kristen trigger Frankel. They are willowy or delicate. When she entered a room with that type of woman, no one noticed her.

I dunno. Remember how Kelly gallumphed into that Halloween party in her playboy bunny costume? Lol

I don't understand why they are still legally married either. It has to be all about the money settlement, but still. You would think at this point, any hit you take would be worth it to disentangle from this person and be free to marry a new spouse or whatever. Some part of them must thrive on continuing this drama or there must be so much spite still there.

The only thing is, I don't believe bifurcated divorces are allowed in New York State, so it's not a state where you can get the divorce and legally no longer be married to each other, then deal with the financial settlements later. My partner had one of those in a community property state and it legit took them seven years for them to settle... but he was legally divorced from his ex. It was all about money and his ex kept getting new lawyers and the whole money thing was complicated and a big nightmare. Like Bethenny, she was the one who made more money than him at the time and she didn't want to write him a check. (And nowhere near the assets in this case.) So I kind of can believe that it's all about the finances at this point and in New York State you can't get a divorce without settling those as part of the divorce decree. But at a certain point, come on....

Or it could be that Paul is not interested in getting engaged or married anytime soon.  It's been 2 years. As long as Bethenny isn't divorced, no one can question why he hasn't put a ring on it. 

Very suspect that Bethenny didn't mention that Dennis gave her an engagement ring until after he was dead. Don't believe that story for a second.

It's not about finances because they had a prenup and the judge was able to straighten out the apartment trust fiasco. This is entirely about custody. Bethenny wants primary physical and legal custody. We know that at one point she really wanted to move to LA and take Bryn with her. Bethenny said that the incident at the school was evidence that Jason was unstable and dangerous and that the custody arrangement should be altered. Jason wanted it to stay the same. It was only when Dennis died that Jason argued that Bethenny's fitness should be investigated. It was petty, but earned. The court psychologist said the custody arrangement shouldn't be altered and that Bryn benefits from having both of her parents in her life. The judge even said that something like 80% of Jason's endless voicemails, texts, and emails were just Jason trying to confirm that Bethenny had the details of Bryn's schedule (when homework was due, projects, upcoming events). Jason isn't some angel. He and Bethenny are both obnoxious and need to put their child first. One would hope that they both love the kid more than they hate each other.

But Bethenny since she sold Skinnygirl thinks she knows better than anybody. She doesn't listen to anyone. She made millions selling booze so clearly she must know tons about real estate. It stands to reason that her real estate decisions must be brilliant too despite Fredrik and Ramona telling her that she was making a mistake. Bethenny lost a solid $1.5 million and ruined her relationship with Fredrik, but it's not like she could ever be wrong. The psychologist says keep the custody the same, but what does a trained behavioral health professional know that Bethenny doesn't. The level of her arrogance and narcissism is astonishing.

I think another example of this would be her trying to make this ridiculous "Food Court" show happen. I'm sure that when she discussed this with people most responded with something like, "nope, don't think so Bethenny, time to go back to the drawing board." Except for her peons who smiled, nodded their heads enthusiastcally, then turned away and rolled their eyes.

I noticed that when she posted this show on Instagram, most comments were "No, Bethenny, horrible idea", even her fans hated it. Soon afterward she deleted the post.

She says that filming for TheBigShotWithBethenny begins in October. You know that it will have to be scripted Her Way. It will be interesting to see how that turns out for her and her big head.

I don't follow her IRL and have no idea what she's up to, but my DVR caught WWHL and I thought I was watching Elizabeth Hurley for a sec. Is it a newer face? I really came here to see if anyone else got that Hurley vibe.  

They did a closeup of her on “the Real”.  Her face looked stretched to the hilt.  No lines at all, like a wax figure.  Ever since then, I haven’t seen a closeup.  I think she looked worse.

So she’s criticizing Kylie Jenner for posting a pic of Stormi in a Hermès backpack.  Hmmmm....can someone please remind her of posting Brynn in a Gucci sequin matching jacket?  Or many of her other flaunts of wealth??   Maybe she didn’t put her kid in a Birkin backpack but she sure has spiked her and spared her nothing.  Shut yo mouf, B!

Alameda Unified School District’s dress code is what I think all schools should adopt:

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/amp/Alameda-schools-new-dress-code-Tube-tops-are-13167331.php 

I appreciate your perspective, Glowbug, but I think that dress code is ill-considered. Fighting slut-shaming by encouraging girls to wear halter tops, short-shorts, and micro minis seems counter-productive to me  (not because it will "disrupt the boys" but because it buys into a culture that objectifies girls - and I say "encourage" because once a dress code enshrines booty shorts,  that becomes the default). But even leaving that aside (a very big aside!) the dress code allows students to wear pajamas to class -  there's so much contempt in that (for both students and teachers) it becomes near-parody, imo.

Regarding Bryn Hoppy -  ten to one Bryn slipped a t-shirt or cami over her sports bra before going into school. 

Quote

 @Emmeline I can’t understand why the divorce is going on and on, it’s ridiculous! 

I agree - it's absurdly ridiculous.  She claims Jason Hoppy used her, emotionally abused her, stalked her, mocked her, terrorized her,  ignored her maternal rights by allowing Bryn to say her prayers at his home,  she screamed and ranted in court that he drove her to the very brink of madness itself ...but they're still married?  WTF. Doesn't pass the smell test.

Yes, I don't pay attention to Kylie but I believe you...

Ever since the term "Humblebrag" was coined (by Harris Wittels, may he rest in peace) people keep using that term incorrectly.  There is still just bragging, and people do it all the time!  That's not humblebragging!  Sigh, they're two different things....

The former default was "Skirt/shorts X length" and the new default is "Skirt/shorts any length" as long as your underwear isn't showing (unless it's your underwear waistband,  which is allowed). The only caveat is "Nothing pornographic"  (which is ludicrous, imo; the Supreme Court couldn't define porn, but girls can?) That said, if you're telling me no girls turned up at school in micro minis, tube tops, or pajamas, good for them! They have more sense than the schoolboard tasked with educating them ; )

Frankel's  (cover-my-ass) defense of her criticism: "I commented on a 12k backpack on @KylieJenner  daughter. I’m no stranger to an @Hermes_Paris bag & have a daughter & luxury cars, but flaunting(under the guise of a back to school post)during a pandemic & the greatest unemployment crisis in our lifetime is a choice."

Of course it's " a choice", Frankel -  you also chose to share images of your financially secure, high-end life during "a pandemic & the greatest unemployment crisis in our lifetime", so stop playing the moral scold.

Bethenny is simply not good at being a partner.   Perhaps she can control her know-it-all mentality for a while but eventually that dominant, controlling behavior comes out.  Who would want to deal with that!  Poor Bryn, since birth she has seen 3 men in her world, 2 of which are gone.  Bethenny should just stay single.

Jason was fighting that pre nup. Bethenny didn't have anything when they got married. Her wealth came after the marriage and Jason said it was because of his guidance and support  in the business that she became so successful. I think that was settled but I'm sure B had to pay a pretty penny to resolve that fight. Now it is about custody. I don't know why a judge can't straighten all that out like he did the finances. It's ridiculous, Brynn will be old enough to make her own decisions by the time a resolution is met.

You can finalize the divorce without finalizing custody because custody of minor children and child support is something that can be continued to be challenged and changed.

I think it's four men,  Emmeline - Bethenny and Bryn had "family vacations" (and lots of paparazzi photos) with that creep (Michael Cerussi) who was credibly accused of rape  (the same man Bryn saw naked in Bethenny's apartment, and when Hoppy complained to the court,  the court dismissed his complaint - why she needed to expose Bryn to that man is beyond me).  Bryn cycled through three men, after her father: a credibly accused rapist, a drug addict (who drove Bryn around while high) who was still married to his first wife (but engaged to Bethenny, while also trying to force her into the light from the great beyond, so lovesick was Dennis for her) and lastly, Paul Bernon (who seemed normal - or as normal any man can be who is interested in dating a self-involved train wreck  like Frankel).  And through it all, Frankel  remained  married;  for all the incendiary, reputation-ruining shit she talked about her husband she ditched, she's still Mrs. Jason  Hoppy.  If a man had done one tenth of the things she claims Hoppy did to her, I would be free of him - come hell or high water - instead of spending nearly a decade still legally bound to him.

I had forgotten about that conversation. Even Ramona saw the writing on the wall. For the years that Bethenny has spent in therapy you would think that something might have sunk in about working on herself, changing life patterns or making better decisions. I hope her therapist has taught her to be happy with herself, because it isn’t her daughter’s job and I just don’t see her as happily married. Nobody is capable of giving her the amount of attention that she seems to crave.

Bethenny "blind-to-irony" Frankel criticizes this terrible world we live in, y'all - she is shocked, shocked to find it vulgar!

" I was telling my boyfriend Paul the other day how trashy is very in now. Just like just being slutty and talking about dick, that you want dick, that you haven't had enough dick lately."

....as opposed to the Keepin' It Klassy road Bethenny always takes (especially around Bryn   - posting vid of her eight year old daughter twerking, and an instastory of Bryn fondling her mother's breasts to sell lingerie - such respect shown for the innocence of girlhood!)

"The Skinnygirl mogul decided to focus on Cardi's lyric about her vagina. The specific line was "park your mack truck in my tiny garage." Bethenny said she didn't believe Cardi had a "tiny garage." She believed Cardi "has at least a two or three-car garage." Bethenny continued making comments about Cardi lying about being tight."

Jesus. Discussing the "tightness" of a woman's vaginal canal? What a trashpig Frankel is. 

"Bethenny said she was concerned about her daughter hearing the song on TikTok. She said she understands freedom of speech but wanted to know if there was a line. Bethenny asked if the next song would be about anal sex."

I believe the next song, Bethenny,  is called "Wanna blowjob" ("asking all the hicks - can i suck on your dicks?") courtesy of your m'ladyhood ways - your Dowager Countess of Grantham example! - on RHoNY.

It's not about finances because they had a prenup and the judge was able to straighten out the apartment trust fiasco. This is entirely about custody. Bethenny wants primary physical and legal custody. We know that at one point she really wanted to move to LA and take Bryn with her. Bethenny said that the incident at the school was evidence that Jason was unstable and dangerous and that the custody arrangement should be altered. Jason wanted it to stay the same. It was only when Dennis died that Jason argued that Bethenny's fitness should be investigated. It was petty, but earned. The court psychologist said the custody arrangement shouldn't be altered and that Bryn benefits from having both of her parents in her life. The judge even said that something like 80% of Jason's endless voicemails, texts, and emails were just Jason trying to confirm that Bethenny had the details of Bryn's schedule (when homework was due, projects, upcoming events). Jason isn't some angel. He and Bethenny are both obnoxious and need to put their child first. One would hope that they both love the kid more than they hate each other.

But Bethenny since she sold Skinnygirl thinks she knows better than anybody. She doesn't listen to anyone. She made millions selling booze so clearly she must know tons about real estate. It stands to reason that her real estate decisions must be brilliant too despite Fredrik and Ramona telling her that she was making a mistake. Bethenny lost a solid $1.5 million and ruined her relationship with Fredrik, but it's not like she could ever be wrong. The psychologist says keep the custody the same, but what does a trained behavioral health professional know that Bethenny doesn't. The level of her arrogance and narcissism is astonishing.

Bryn is 10 now.  Doesn’t she have any say concerning custody?  I think she loves her Father and Grandparents, so it seems.  If Bethenny had full custody, how often would Jason and his parents be able to see her?  I know nothing concerning custody.

I don’t have answers, but I’d hope that the judge could speak with her privately and see what she is comfortable with. Even with full custody I believe grandparents have rights as far as seeing their grandchildren. Poor Bryn has been exposed to so many things that a child of that tender age should never be privy to.

In some places grandparents have the right to ask the court for visitation but it’s up to the judge and isn’t necessarily granted.

I think it's four men,  Emmeline - Bethenny and Bryn had "family vacations" (and lots of paparazzi photos) with that creep (Michael Cerussi) who was credibly accused of rape  (the same man Bryn saw naked in Bethenny's apartment, and when Hoppy complained to the court,  the court dismissed his complaint - why she needed to expose Bryn to that man is beyond me).  Bryn cycled through three men, after her father: a credibly accused rapist, a drug addict (who drove Bryn around while high) who was still married to his first wife (but engaged to Bethenny, while also trying to force her into the light from the great beyond, so lovesick was Dennis for her) and lastly, Paul Bernon (who seemed normal - or as normal any man can be who is interested in dating a self-involved train wreck  like Frankel).  And through it all, Frankel  remained  married;  for all the incendiary, reputation-ruining shit she talked about her husband she ditched, she's still Mrs. Jason  Hoppy.  If a man had done one tenth of the things she claims Hoppy did to her, I would be free of him - come hell or high water - instead of spending nearly a decade still legally bound to him. 

It was actually 5 because Bethenny was living with billionaire Warren Lichtenstein after she and Jason split. I think she lived with him for 6 or 7 months. Bethenny got dragged into Lichtenstein's custody battle and child support case with Anna Bond. Bethenny denied that she and Lichtenstein were sleeping together at the time; She was also seeing Cerussi at the same time. Bethenny has since admitted in court during her own custody case that she was sleeping with Lichtenstein.

Of course all of Bethenny's parched comments about Cardi B are Bethenny trying to manufacture a beef between the two of them. It makes me think of the numerous ways that Bethenny is a massive hypocrite. Bethenny was fucking her billionaire friend for a place to live. Bethenny dated a guy accused of rape whose defense was that his accuser only claimed it was rape after the fact because his frat buddies called her a whore who had sex with 2 guys at the same time. Bethenny has cavalierly thrown out random comments about blowing people for slurpees and braiding each other's pussy hair. I don't know why she's implying that Cardi's "garage" is stretched out when Cardi has really only been romantically linked with Offset, who she married, and a couple of other entertainers, at least one of whom she publicly castigated for saying they had sex when they absolutely didn't. Meanwhile Bethenny has been linked with MANY men. Bethenny is just a gross fucking person.

This whole thing about Cardi B is probably to get attention to her new podcast.  Did you know she has a podcast?  She has shilled it non stop in her shrillest voice on IG stories for weeks.  It was number one on the podcast ratings list before it even aired; how is that possible, I ask.    She's only going to have guests who can teach us something about how to make it up from the bottom.  First guest:  Paris Hilton.   And Paris Hilton's podcast was prefaced by a little chat with Dorinda who B seems to have glommed onto and hired for her production co.  As several commentors pointed out to her, she disparages RHoNY but seems to go back to referencing it when she needs publicity; they tuned in for Paris but were pretty disappointed when they got Dorinda for 10 minutes.  

As for Paul, he has hardly been around since the shutdown in mid March, so I figured the relationship was done for.  She is in the Hamptons and has Bryn all to herself, as she always wanted.   There were very few occasions that Bryn was not with Bethenny in the last 7 months.  She flaunts Bryn on IG.   This week she is out there alone, so it must be back to fall schedule now that school has started.  I suppose Bryn can do remote from Jason's apartment as easily as Bethenny's house.  In the  summer, Manhattan was just about closed down, so there would have been little for Bryn to do if he doesn't have the luxury of a summer home.

The former default was "Skirt/shorts X length" and the new default is "Skirt/shorts any length" as long as your underwear isn't showing (unless it's your underwear waistband,  which is allowed). The only caveat is "Nothing pornographic"  (which is ludicrous, imo; the Supreme Court couldn't define porn, but girls can?) That said, if you're telling me no girls turned up at school in micro minis, tube tops, or pajamas, good for them! They have more sense than the schoolboard tasked with educating them ; )

Frankel's  (cover-my-ass) defense of her criticism: "I commented on a 12k backpack on @KylieJenner  daughter. I’m no stranger to an @Hermes_Paris bag & have a daughter & luxury cars, but flaunting(under the guise of a back to school post)during a pandemic & the greatest unemployment crisis in our lifetime is a choice."

Of course it's " a choice", Frankel -  you also chose to share images of your financially secure, high-end life during "a pandemic & the greatest unemployment crisis in our lifetime", so stop playing the moral scold. When it comes to flaunting your lifestyle, you're in no position to lecture anyone. This image is from your insta (only nine days ago) ya dumbass hypocrite.

Y’all remember her wearing her Gucci backpack while handing out Walmart gift cards to hurricane victims.  Right?
