EXCLUSIVE

‘RHONY’ cast not surprised Bethenny Frankel ‘orchestrated’ engagement news the same day as trailer drop

https://pagesix.com/2021/03/23/rhony-cast-not-surprised-bethenny-frankel-orchestrated-engagement-news-the-same-day-as-trailer-drop/

Bethenny likes to think she's Machiavelli.  She's more Douglas Haig who chose to keep doing the same tactics resulting in 60,000 casualties in one day in one battle.  Dwight Schrute from The Office is a better tactician than Bethenny. We all see through her inexpert gamesmanship.

No one in Boston is going to be impressed with that gaudy ring. If it's mummy's from 5 generations ago or 6  Super Bowl Rings, well, then Boston pays attention. Good luck with that ring Bethenny it looks like a thick multilayered clear polished male big toenail.

Just because something is estimated to be worth $1 million dollars does not make is beautiful or look like it is worth more than $25.

It sure is ugly and looks so fake. Kind of like Bethenny’s insides.

I think about how different the conversation is about Bethenny now as compared to when she left after season 11. Back then, people were definitely skeptical of her statement that she wanted to work on projects that uplifted women, but now people are openly contemptuous of most things out of her mouth. She's bungled her post-Housewives period in a fairly spectacular fashion:

  1. she spent all of season 12 subtweeting RHONY, which NEVER made her seem like she was too good for or beyond the show
  2. her HBO Max project, the Big Shot with Bethenny, sounds like a less professional version of The Apprentice and it certainly doesn't help that Covid killed that show's momentum
  3. she's spent a decent portion of the last couple of months, when Black Lives Matter had already become a rallying cry, being an undermining nitpicking scold to women of color
  4. she revealed that she and Jason were still married, which only invited people to dig deeper into that disastebacle and figure out what was taking so long--it was her
  5. she just can't keep things to herself; everything has to play out in front of an audience whether it be other Housewives, in front of paparazzi, on television, or on social media. It's the reason people are cracking on her gargantuan ring and saying Paul looks like Jason; she's made it imperative that we know all of this shit. Who is Luann fucking right now? I don't know because she generally keeps her shit fairly low key.

I love how Bethenny had a big post about scaling back her social media from 20 posts a day to 6 or 7. If it ain't her charity work, very little of what she posted merited a damn post let alone multiples.

It looks to me, upon zooming in on the picture, that she’s sporting two nasty, weeping fever blisters on her bottom lip. 

Surely my middle aged eyes are imagining them because B would never let them be seen. 

if there was ever another good reason to wear a mask, it’s was this particular moment in time.

I’ll be interested to see how they “blend” their families.  Especially considering their kids are based in different cities.

Paul's two children are close in age to Bryn. I believe that his daughter Skylar is the same age as Bryn and his son Tucker around two years older. He is extremely private when it comes to them. I don't know how he is going to balance Bethenny's need to be in the spotlight with his need to protect his own kids. I can't imagine him moving to a different state and have them travel back and forth. His ex wife is a very well known and successful business woman in Boston, so I can't see Bethenny moving there and having to live in Ashley's shadow. I also wonder how Bryn would handle being one of three kids when they are all together after being a somewhat spoiled only child for so long.  This is why I think it's going to be a really loooooooong engagement.

They will never get married. Vampire Bethenny needed to be fed on the day the RHONY trailer came out and god knows how she did it but she got the ring when she "needed" it. It's ostentatious and yet another trinket for her disordered thinking. She thinks the Twitter and the Gram followers will be so happy for her Cinderella story on her journey and she just looks like the needy, rich, spoiled brat that she is, was, and always will be.

I would love to know what Paul Bernon's ex-wife thinks of Bethenny.

I will be curious to see what their living arrangement turns out to be, since 'distance' was cited as the reason for their first breakup. Are Bethenny and Bryn moving to Boston? I would think Jason Hoppy would have a thing or two to say about that.

At this point I would think Brynn would have a thing or two to say about it, too.  She’s a NYC girl with I would assume a small and tight knit group of friends (I’m only assuming this because she goes to a small, exclusive private school).   Her little life has already had enough drama!   
 

I can’t imagine moving her to a new city and school where she will have to fit in with her new step sibs in THEIR already established lives. 
 

Yah, I’ve seen this movie before.

I don’t think Bethenny can move Bryn out of state without Jason’s approval unless she won sole legal custody and it wasn’t reported on. Is Bryn still in school in the city or is she going to school in the Hamptons. I thought posters here said she had moved to a Hamptons school but maybe I’m misremembering. Bethenny also bought a house in Connecticut but I’m assuming that’s close enough to the city to be acceptable. It’s also not clear if Bethenny plans to live in the Connecticut home or if it’s another one of her failed flips.

My speculation. I think it's pandemic related wanting a backyard and open space. Also possibly w/ the timing maybe Jason moved there. I think it's always nice when parents live close together in the same communities w/a  split.

Ostentatious is her m.o. when it comes to being enfianced.

The Shields "engagement" ring vs the Bernon ring.  The thing about emerald cuts (Bernon), is that when they are the size of Range Rover headlights, it serves to showcase their flawless (presumably) quality, thereby cementing the fact that much cheddar was shredded for its purchase.

Were I forced while facing the barrel end of an Uzi, to choose one or the other, it would be the Shields oval shape and faceted cut.  Because sparkly.

I freely admit, I love rings. I hope to have a ring one day (I'll probably have to buy my own at the rate I'm going). 

Another shot of the Paul ring: Oh Paul...

Of the three, I liked the Hoppy ring the best, even though she kind of emasculated him and said she helped pay for it because he couldn't afford the one she wanted. The Original Jason Ring The Jason Ring Reloaded

Also, Paul has a type 😬

Not just a little socialite..

She's kind of a blonde Bethenny in the looks trajectory.. I liked B's looks after she polished herself up a bit but before she started going overboard on the injectables. They both look like they could be Paul's aunt because he's so gosh darn nerdy.

In conclusion, I don't even know what to do with this.

She is also gearing up for the release of her show The Big Shot with Bethenny. She needed to shake off the dirt from her recent tweets regarding Meghan Markle. Bad press just before Big Shot comes out wouldn't bode well for potential viewers. She needed to do something huge to give people a different reason to talk about her. It's all about the damage control. Her publicist must be hauling in the overtime calling Page Six and every other gossip spreaders all day and all night long.

Every single person in Bethenny's life, paid or unpaid must serve a purpose and Paul is, just as the poster above noted, just a prop. She is the worst user ever.

I would expect her announcement of the Big Shot show very shortly while her name is still hot in the press for something other than taking shots at other women.

Edited to add, just found this:

But of course she hasn't "confirmed" the engagement or announced it, and just posts her dumb instastories ignoring the whole thing. She's so obnoxious and looooooves the drama and speculation. If you get engaged, great, share it, move on. But Bethenny has to go around sporting a ginormous ring you can see from space, and purposely flaunt it, want it reported on, want the articles to come out, and "fans" to "notice" it and speculate and talk. Because has she even announced it? Other than "People Magazine" confirming it... And then she plays coy. And knows people are coming to her instagram to look for info, but she just posts ridiculous stories of her face and dog and food and knows exactly what she's doing. It's so manipulative and lame. She's as fake as they come.

It is like the beyond basic bullshit that I'd expect out of a 26 year old posting on Instagram: "I'm loving Starbucks new oatmilk unicorn frappuccino" with a shot of her be-ringed hand holding the frappuccino. B Real? Real basic.

The Daily Mail is now referring to it as possibility, not a fact ("reportedly engaged"  and "her alleged engagement"). If she fucked with People magazine, they are going to be pissed.

No confirmation of the phantom-engagement yet, but continued confirmation below that Bethenny Frankel is an elitist asshole who sees herself as more royal than Meghan,  and far more special than the rest of us plebes searching for vaccine appointments (god bless this person for picking the perfect RHoNY gif to respond to Frankel's bullshit):

But the moral of the story is, Bryn isn't ready to sell her work.

I'm not arguing for Bethenny to move to Boston and I doubt she'd want to anyway (she strikes me as someone who thinks Boston is too "small potatoes" for her) but I've never heard of the ex-wife, so she isn't that very well known. Looking at her bio, she strikes me as someone who isn't really that important to Boston's power centers, but has found a niche in Boston's very small style elite. As a city, Boston isn't that obsessed with people who are into being the style elite, so they don't have the same kind of power that other kinds of business and civic leaders have. 

That being said, Boston is ultimately a pretty small town so if Beth did move here, she would undoubtedly have to run into her because Beth probably would also want to be involved in that kind of style elite.  But if Beth did move here, by sheer virtue of her celebrity, she'd likely be better known that his ex-wife.  (None of this should be read as a defense of Bethenny, just my thinking as someone who lives in Boston).

Does BF's choice of words actually work on people? It's so funny that she states Bryn isn't ready to sell her work - as if there are interested buyers out there and Bryn's work is good enough to sell.

Her cart-before-horse speak is her way of trying to make something have life that isn't real.  She's very manipulative - but also very transparent - and becoming more so as she scrambles to stay relevant.

I honestly feel her time is done. I don't think she could carry a show anymore no matter how much she throws herself, her daughter, and others in her sphere at the media.

Oh, but one good thing??? Have we heard boo about her and Jason's divorce? I wonder if the judge put a muzzle on both of them (if so, thank you!).

Sonja's daughter is an art student and she recently made her Instagram public. She has sold some of her artwork on IG. This is yet another example of Bethenny being unable to handle when one of the other housewives gets attention of any kind.

In other words, she paid Romero Britto to teach one of his classes in person to Bryn and told her she was an excellent artist.

I was bothered the most by the fact that there were two other perfectly good chairs available and she chose to sit on Paul. It seemed inappropriate for that setting and of course like she was trying SO hard, but that’s Bethenny. I fear for Bryn and what she’s learned about relationships from her mother’s overt behavior with men.

Excellent observations. Honestly I think it is funny that she thinks she is fooling people. 

Her divorce and engagement hit the news for one day, and then "poof", she's got nothing else, until her show drops. That will dissipate quickly once it fails as her other TV attempts have. She will have to resort then to posting "controversial" comments on twitter again. Likely she will drop hints about her wedding here and there as teasers. I doubt it will really happen anytime soon and even when and if it does, it will make the news for a minute, then nothin'. She will disappear into former housewife oblivion.

Her fans will still be able to see her on Instagram and HSN. So there's that.

 She just scrambles so hard to see her name in print. She must be so mad at Jen Shah right now for stealing attention away from her.

Bethenny is 50 going on 15. No one is trying so desperately to snatch Paul up that she has to sit on him to claim him. "This is MINE!" She seems to have confused everyone else with the incestuous RHONY women. We're not all out here dating the same 6 guys. Beyond the fact that Bethenny has fairly terrible taste in men, there's a global pandemic out there. Most people aren't trying to get too close to anyone they don't know, especially if they can't confirm if the person is vaxxed.

Seriously. It’s a canine behavior. Dogs sit on things over which they want to exert dominance. It’s cute when it’s a puppy playing and sitting on another puppy. Not cute when it’s a 50-year old woman sitting on her boyfriend with whom she only recently reunited (at the time). What message does that send to her daughter? Here’s a man that’s been out of our life for however many months but now he’s back and I’m making up for lost affection in front of you and the world because I’m that desperate? 🤮
