Kristen Taekman: At Least She's Pretty

[Sage47]

I forgot about him telling the trainer to "get rid of her pooch". Meanwhile Kristen has a perfect body! He just constantly disrespects her.

 

I also noticed recently at an event when Bethenny was joking with Kristen and Josh about "rim jobs" that Josh was looking Bethenny up and down and staring at her chest. This is before the Ashley Madison thing broke and I already saw the red flags waving.

 

Early on Kristen said they would be lucky to make it to their next anniversary; maybe she already had lots of suspicions about him.  

 

As an aside, I saw that Dylan Lauren (Ralph Lauren's daughter) also named her new baby daughter KINGSLEY. I'm sorry, but that has to be one of the ugliest names for a girl. The logical nickname is.....KING. Or KINGS. Wow.

[NewDigs]

And every time I hear the name Kingsley I think RHOBH's Kim's dog, Kingsley. It's been distracting in an odd way. More than once I've read a Kristen post and gone, Who???

Geesh, Betthhenny, a rim job joke? If her crass "jokes" were actually funny or maybe even fit the situation I wouldn't mind but...

PLEASE dont bring her back...she has 0 personality, and adds nothing.

I feel like all my wishes were used up on the upcoming RHOA season but I'd give my left arm not to have to watch Kristen anymore.

Absolutely and having her husband have an Ashley Madison account does not make her interesting. Casting by other RH-epic fail.

So both Sonja and Ramona are speaking about Kristen and her issues. Ramona is saying they are very much in love and she doesn't believe he cheated:

 

“I don’t believe Josh has ever cheated on Kristen. I see them as a really loving couple. Every couple has problems – I don’t care who you are. And I think through the show they actually worked through a lot them.”

 

Sonja is saying she believes it and is not surprised:

“I could see it coming,” Morgan told us. “I didn’t like the way he was treating her. He chipped away at her self-esteem.“I was trying to empower her. She didn’t take my advice.”

I feel badly for Kristen but whatever happens, I hope it's resolved before next season.  There are rumors about Kristen being dropped from the cast but if she does come back for another season, I sure as hell wouldn't want to see her become another Shannon.

Ramona is DELUSIONAL she has zero interest in Kristen or Josh this is just more of her phony baloney.  It is fairly obvious she either nods off or fast forwards through last season's Kristen and Josh scenes.  This is really bad fake PR, so if they stay together then Ramona never gave up hope, if they split Ramona can garner more attention by claiming she never saw it coming.

 

After the way Josh treated Sonja, he earned these comments from Sonja.  I do think that some of the other women, apparently Sonja feel that in order for Kristen to strike out on her own and dump Josh she needs the show.  I don't see Kristen coming back as either single Kristen or married Kristen. The best thing that ever happened to her was getting hit with a plastic wine glass, after that she is pretty boring.  At least Sonja was honest about her feelings about the Taekmans.

Separation/Divorce announcement should be posted any day now?

I guess Kristen and Brandi (shudder as I post that name) could possibly have a "starting over" show, and NO I will not be watching.

[zoeysmom]

Here is kind of a strange Brandi/Kristen story-not long ago when Brandi knew she was toast on RHOBH she had the ex-wife of Tori Spelling's husband on and practically begged to be  part of revealing cheaters show with her.  Needless to say lots of hate speak regarding both Dean and Tori. Now you have Kristen jogging around with Tori Spelling, former cheater, who got cheated on and forgave.  So what direction will this show-if it ever comes to fruition go?   Brandi is the ultimate revenge seeker when cheated on and now her BFF is forgiving her husband?  How does this all work for Kristen and Brandi?   I also think the other issue with a Brandi/Kristen show would be the fact they live on separate coasts.

Funny that there have been rumours that Kristen & Brandi were doing a show together. I think Brandi hinted about it on Twitter. It was hard to believe since they both live far apart.

Excerpt-

As for the continuation of Kristen Taekman’s role with the Real Housewives, she may have reason to be concerned. Earlier this month, a source told the New York Daily News’ Confidenti@l that Kristen Taekman was on the chopping block with Bravo, who was eyeing a new housewife for Season 8.

According to the source, Lora Drasner has been approached to come aboard, and Kristen Taekman may lose her job. “She’s {Drasner} been offered a slot multiple times and is speaking with producers, but she is doing her due diligence. She is asking a million questions and asking current cast members out to lunch and shopping trips to try to feel them out… She’s interested (in Real Housewives), but she’s not sure what it entails. Bravo really really wants her.”

Not that this mitigates anything Josh got up to…but it IS funny, thinking of him eagerly checking his empty mailbox and sending emails to bots. The chances of him meeting the kind of woman he was looking for was pretty much non-existent to begin with.

 

The more I read about AM, the more I think it was just a front for adult services. (Not that the customers knew that going in.)

I met a guy who was on AM and he said it was a joke.  9.9 out of 10 were men and that odds of getting what they wanted from that site were slim to none. I guess if that's true, I could see how Josh and others may NOT have cheated despite efforts in that direction. 

 

On the flip side, maybe call girls are involved...that would make sense given the amount of transactions he made.

I actually would watch this show.  I think Kristen and Brandi don't fit the HW mold and would come across better in a different format.  I would enjoy seeing two pre-middle agers try to establish careers, businesses, etc.  and without all the fighting.

Josh treated Sonja line the delusional, half wit that she is and not the head of a global luxury lifestyle brand that she thinks she is in her addle brained head.

Regardless if someone is a half wit or delusional one with any amount of manners would never treat a friend or friend of one's wife the way he came down on Sonja.  His great advice was to dump $30,000.00 into branding.  Josh chose to behave that way and now that he has is tit in the proverbial wringer, Sonja gets to throw a little of her observations back his way.  Similar situation with Mario calling Luann, "countless" shortly after her husband dumped her.  It hurt her feelings and she was able to address his bad deeds with little regards for his feelings.

 

Sonja is head of a global luxury lifestyle brand-its success has yet to be established.  The first article of clothing that ships out of the country makes her international.

I can't figure out Ramona's comment, it's not like she really knows Kristin or Josh that well to be opining on their marriage.

Ramona had a moment of identifying with Kristen last season because they both marrried charismatic men. To paraphrase: People take notice when Mario or Josh enter a room (as opposed to Jonathan, who may as well be invisible).

It's still ridiculous that she's weighing in on the Taekman marriage. But I'm guessing that - having gone thru the media scrutiny herself - she felt badly for Kristen and was trying to diffuse the question.

Seriously, when did Sonja try to "empower" anyone other than herself? LOL

 

Neither Sonja or Ramona know Kristen outside the show and filming. Its not even as if Sonja and Ramona hang out together after filming ends, let alone hang out with Kristen. LOL

That's not true. A business can only be considered an international brand if they are sold in retail establishments across the world, or even a few. Selling a dress on the "world-wide-web" to a customer in, say, England, does not mean she's an international brand. It just means her website business ships overseas. More of Sonja's delusions.

[jnymph]

I hope Kristen announces her divorce soon.    Nobody deserves that piece of vile shit.    Go to hell, Josh.  Take David Beador with you.

[AnnaMayWong]

He really did treat her like a doormat, didn't he? I'm still trying to think of a time when he treated her with respect. He DID agree to go to counseling but even while there, he slouched down in the sofa, legs wide apart, acting like he wanted to be anywhere but there. Even back then I wanted to slap him upside his head and tell him to sit up like a grown man and pay attention. Now I just want to slap him.

He wants a newer "MODEL".

There are millions of businesses that are mail order only overseas.  If they ship internationally they are a global brand. Many, many catalogues have few retail outlets-it does not mean that are not used internationally.  I don't think Sonja's brand will really take off as it is almost as if she used all her energy and resources to get to the fashion show.  However, technically the minute she has buyers in St. Tropez, or Winnipeg she is international.  Sonja places too much importance on who her customers should be instead of letting the marketplace decide.  Her clothes may be great for a polo match but who says the same pants can't be worn to a NASCAR race?

My guess is after getting handed her hat by Josh and all of Kristen's whining about Josh Sonja probably did encourage Kristen.  I don't know that their is a video record of it but the rest of the women seem to really like Sonja for the most part on a personal level and I could see Sonja encouraging Kristen.  They seem to hit it off at Sonja's with the facialist.

 

Just a note-the media was in Sonja's house doing a photo shoot when she was asked about Kristen and Josh.  Just like Kristen who wanted to be friendly to the press and fell for the sarcastic question, Sonja answered the question that was relevant.  Just like Kristen didn't say no comment about the toaster oven or even try with we are here today to see her lovely fashion line, Sonja answered the question posed to her in her living space about Kristen and Josh.  Sonja owed Josh ZERO, as he was a first class ass to her.

A brand is something you identify the clothing or whatever by-it has nothing to do with the success.  Tamra Barney sells her clothes on e-bay after she wears them I have never heard of either brand of dress-it does not mean they aren't a brand.  Sonja Morgan, New York is Sonja's brand.

No, Sonja owes Josh nothing but Kristen was supportive to and about Sonja for the most part. I don't believe for 1 second that Sonja ever took the time to talk to Kristen about her marriage, either before or after the AM scandal broke. Sonja couldn't even be there for her good, long time friend Ramona and instead turned the conversation to her own divorce and problems every time, so I doubt that she did/said anything to help Kristen.

 

As for the press question, she could have easily said that she supports whatever Kristen wants/decides because she likes to "empower" women. Being asked about a TO that Sonja talked about on the show during the filming of the show and the possible cheating scandal going on outside of the show about Josh are 2 very different things IMO and I highly doubt that Kristen called the press to question Sonja about anything like Sonja did the press for her fashion show.

I understand what you are saying, but I was trying to make a slightly different point. Sonja doesn't appear to view her "brand" as 'I named the clothing line Sonja Morgan NY." She thinks she IS the brand, selling a lifestyle, not just clothes. In a similar way, Ralph Lauren means something to people above and beyond the name of the brand. RL is also clearly selling a lifestyle (think the incredibly annoying - to me - commercials for the brand before each episode of Downton Abbey). He is just far more successful at it.

Well, of course anyone can be more successful than Sonja, as it hasn't been proven that she has sold any clothes (other than pity buys by other HWs).

There are very few brands that are on par with Ralph Lauren.  If you ask Bethenny she believes that Skinny Girl is lifestyle brand.  To me success is being confused with branding.  It is strange that Spanxs by Sara Blakely and Yummie Tummie by Heather Thomson are how they choose to brand their products-shapewear.  Let's hope neither of those become lifestyle brands.  If Sonja produces anything for the home from a toaster over to towels she enters over into the lifestyle brand.  I can see wear people interchange success with brand.  Heather, Bethenny and Josh all use the term brand in a rather unusual way-branding meeting, branding summit.  Heather even called the picking of the models a branding meeting.  Kristen is using Pop of Color by Kristen Taekman as her branding -I assume just for cosmetics?  Don't know if that is a universal brand.  The name of her product struggles to fit on the bottle of polish.

Look there are people I know who seem like the nicest people in the world.  Do I know if they are cheating on their spouses....of course not.  I do not follow someone around 24/7 and Josh has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  It does not matter that it was empty...dude totally wanted to steal a cookie.

Look there are people I know who seem like the nicest people in the world.  Do I know if they are cheating on their spouses....of course not.  I do not follow someone around 24/7 and Josh has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  It does not matter that it was empty...dude totally wanted to steal a cookie.

 

I have no idea why Heather is so blind to Josh's faults.

I think Heather will always score high in the friend department.  To me, and I don't believe he and some friends did it as a joke-where is the big laugh?  You pay money to have someone interact with you?  Hmm. . . I am having a hard time seeing the entertainment value in such a endeavor, let alone $1,500.00 worth if entertainment.  The idea that he wanted to explore an affair is far more insulting than the idea he went on the site.  I am always reading he, she or they should have broken up with their spouse before pursuing an interest in so and so.  So if the rule applies to all of those who have affairs and especially Brandi's BFF, I would think the day he signed up, he should have filed for divorce.  Clearly he was ready for some action.

 

Just a question-on this Ashley Madison site you pay for only making inquiries about someone and not retrieving inquiries?  So if I am Mr. Big NYC and I want to talk to Shandalear-I pay to contact right?  If I am Shandalear I don't have to pay to retrieve the inquiry?  I mean I could see if both parties paid it would be a beyond huge money maker for the site.  They could just randomnly choose contacts.  So if you don't have to pay to retrieve contacts could there not be 600 conversations?

I think Heather knows Josh far better than any of us, the viewers, do and she is only saying what HE has said publicly, that he did not cheat on Kristen. So I don't think she is blind to Josh's faults but is sticking to his public stance. Now if Heather defends Josh, if it is found out that he did indeed cheat on Kristen, or it is found that she was not sensitive to Kristen's pain in all of this, then I will be disappointed in her but until then, IMO, Heather is standing by her friend(s).

 

I would be furious at my husband if he joined a cheating web site even if he didn't actually cheat on me and so far Kristen has said nothing public but instead is, IMO, making Josh face the music alone, maybe that IS her punishment for him. 

 

Think about this, had Heather been asked about this and said "no comment" or something along those lines, people would be up in arms that she didn't "defend" her friends.

Great way for Heather to destroy her credibility. 

 

From the above article:

 

“The Ashley Madison thing is unfortunate because Josh is completely innocent,” Thomson, 45, who has been friends with Josh for over 15 years, tells Us Weekly exclusively.

 

If you ever need to know it all, go to Heather, because she knows it all!
