In AA you don't share to help others, you share, you do service to keep YOU sober. That's the point, in order to keep it, you have to give it away. Luann is selfish and maybe that's why she likes to tell her story; on the other hand, her story could help someone else. But we now know that was all a facade, as Luann was not staying sober while telling her story at the meetings that she did attend (apparently, not many if recent reports are correct). And, you are 100% correct in that, for most people attending meetings, people share their stories to help others. But, personally, from what we have seen of Luann over the many seasons of RHNY, Luann hasn't accepted or realized that part of the AA method. I truly think that Luann tells her story so that she will get praise from other meeting attendees. I think that Luann thrives on attention, and AA meetings are just another means to an end for her with that attention seeking. Of course, YMMV - this is just my opinion. 1 55 Link to comment
ancslove June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 With Sonja, it's not so much that she got sloppy drunk two nights in a row. For me, it's that the second night (sans paramedics), she intended to rein herself in and not get sloppy drunk. But she couldn't manage that. It's a bit concerning that she can't keep her own intention. 1 13 Link to comment

That's true, but if they don't do it, you certainly don't lose your cookies like BetheME. There's a saying in AA that "resentment is the number one offender." I mean BetheME probably did have a legitimate beef with Luann, but BetheME was yelling, screaming, standing up, acting like a fucking nutcase. People in the restaurant were looking at her like, "WTF is wrong with this chick?" Meanwhile Luann sat there, cool as a cucumber, while BetheME looked like she needed to be put in a strait jacket. Quote I think that Luann thrives on attention, and AA meetings are just another means to an end for her with that attention seeking. True, but how is Luann any different from the other women? They're all attention seekers. If they're calm and quiet, they'll be considered "boring" and get kicked off the show. Edited June 13, 2019 by Neurochick 1 15 Link to comment
Popular Post Bronzedog June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share June 13, 2019 15 minutes ago, SailorGirl said: okay, I'm going to take a different thought on Bethenny here. It sounds like she did a LOT more for Luann than anyone (except Barbara?) knew about, and it sounds like she saved Lu's ass from going back to freakin' jail, and all that happening just before/in the midst of Dennis OD'ing? That's a lot for anyone. So, the person she went far and above for (Lu) basically said "fuck you and the rehab you setup for me, and keeping me out of jail, I'm leaving to go do a BS cabaret show, clearly showing exactly what my priorities are" -- basically giving Bethenny a big ol' middle finger. At the same time, the person Bethenny was unable to help was the person she was in a relationship with and he died. So basically, what Lu thumbed her nose at and acted like the assistance wasn't a big deal was something Bethenny probably wishes she could have done for Dennis and then maybe he would have lived -- that's a lot of guilt to carry around. And Lu treats it like its nothing. She probably feels like if she'd be able to do for Dennis what she did for Lu he might still be alive. She's probably feeling guilty because she backed the wrong horse and that horse turned around and shat all over her. And then after all of that, the person you were able to help acts like Lu's been acting? I'd be ready to rip her throat out too, especially if I'm dealing with all the custody bullshit and attacks from Jason on top of trying to help addicts whom she loves. She's held her tongue about what she did for Lu until tonight but clearly it was a lot and Lu has been ungrateful and unappreciative about the whole thing. Then complaining tonight because she got the last massage and the hair person was tired because everyone else had their hair done first? Someone had to be last bitch -- just as long as its not you? GTFO with that bullshit. Sometimes it really is the littlest thing that breaks the dam wide open. Clearly, that was Lou's making fun of Tinsley's slurring on one word in the midst of making a valid point is what Lu jumped on in order to try to diminish and discredit everything Tinsley was saying was some serious deflection bullshit on Lu's part and I think Bethenny was just done keeping it all in. I totally get why Bethenny snapped. I agree with this entire post. I also think that because Dennis apparently did so much for Luann, Bethenny needed Luann to have a better understanding than the others of how much Bethenny lost when Dennis died, and, be of some support to her. But, Luann, being Luann, didn't give a shit. There are givers and there are takers, and, Luann is definitely a taker. And, although the masses may disagree, I think Bethenny is a giver. And, that can take a toll. 83 Link to comment

bravofan27 June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Girly friends, I don't blame Luanne for not wanting to hang with any of these ladies. These are not ladies to hang with when you aren't drinking. I'm was raised to believe that people don't owe people. Like, if I help out a friend, it's not right to expect payback. My mom always tells me, and she's in her 80s, that my I don't owe my husband anything. She doesn't want me to get hurt or taken advantage of. If you want to help friends and expect a return, then be a a lawyer says my dad, cuz you will have to sue, and suing is expensive. That's what my dad always says. But my dad is a sweetie, and he always helps people out when he can and he never expects anything in return. I think that's a healthy way to approach friends and helping them. Or you can circle around them, so EVERYONE in the group, and ALL the cameras can hear how you saved this person and they didn't appreciate it. It's just so ignorant. I couldn't even watch I was so grossed out by how disgusting and low B has gotten. No wonder no man wants anything to do with her. 1 22 Link to comment

Popular Post whydoievencare June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share June 13, 2019 (edited) I get why Bethenny (especially and Dennis too) and Barbara are fed up with Luann's attitude. They both went to a tremendous amount of trouble for her - she was really out of control. And they went above and beyond. It's not that Luann should kiss their asses for the rest of her life - but she doesn't seem to show any amount of gratitude at all. She hasn't exhibited (I don't think) any shame about ANY of her behaviour - the arrest, her kids taking her to court, begging Dennis for 6 million to buy a house - she just seems to pretend that it never happened. After all, she told one of the women that she's a different kind of alcoholic (meaning: I'm not really an alcoholic). She dabbles in going to AA meetings - which were court ordered. She dabbled in not drinking - now she's taking Antabuse - also court ordered. I don't think I've ever seen her be actually empathetic with any of the women over all the years of this show. In fact, she actually doesn't respond at all when anyone expresses any kind of unhappiness or pain - she's so incredibly shallow and egocentric and floats along in her own little bubble. I can't imagine how successful she was as a nurse (or RNA or whatever she was) - how the hell did she interact with patients - you know, when it's actually about someone other than her.

It was her way of ingratiating herself to the group, so well-played. I agree with this 100%. My opinion on this is that Bethenny grew up in a very volatile household. I'm sure there were plenty of knock-down, drag out fights in her childhood, and that is the only thing she knows. One person gets mad, yells and screams...the other person gets mad, rants and raves and maybe throws something. Then, they move on. Not the healthiest way to resolve differences, and not the healthiest way to grow up. Bethenny, imo, does not know how to deal with calm when she gets angry because to her, the other person doesn't care enough to fight back, and given the toxic way she learned about relationships, she thinks that you need to fight back to basically prove you care. I also get the feeling that Jason also may have been the same way with her when she was angry about something, so it's another trigger for her. Bethenny is a complex jumble of all kinds of angst, anxiety and pent up frustration. I sometimes dislike her, but also, at times, I really feel for her. Seeing her have such a visceral reaction to Luann tonight made me all kinds of conflicted in my feelings about Bethenny tonight. On the one hand, I agreed, to a point, with her about Luann, but on the other hand, I also agreed somewhat with Luann. It was interesting to see that tonight, for the most part, ALL of the other women were stunned into silence (except for tipsy Tinsley), when Bethenny went off the rails. I think they were just as taken aback as the viewers were. 33 Link to comment

It's an estimation of what someone is worth given their bank accounts and assets, which could be real estate, trusts, property, businesses.... who all knows.

My take on Sonja's reaction to the stories she heard at the AA meeting was not totally unselfish or altruistic. I think that maybe, just maybe, some of the stories hit just a little too close to home for Sonja, and she was having a hard time digesting that, except for the kindness of her ex-husband with his divorce settlement, and her gig on the RHNY, she could possibly be one of those people at some point. I think as Sonja was replaying some of what she heard in her head and out loud to Luann in the car after the meeting, it really dawned on her, and that is why she had that little mini-breakdown at the hotel, although, she couldn't/wouldn't put those thoughts into words with the other women. I think that Sonja, even with all her bravado and "I'm the straw that stirs the drink" b.s., is very, very insecure about her future, and seeing the reality of what could be at that AA meeting is kind of like Scrooge traveling with the Ghost of Things to Come in "A Christmas Carol".

I'd have been hard pressed to not slap it out of her hand. 37 minutes ago, njbchlover said: I agree with this 100%. My opinion on this is that Bethenny grew up in a very volatile household. I'm sure there were plenty of knock-down, drag out fights in her childhood, and that is the only thing she knows. One person gets mad, yells and screams...the other person gets mad, rants and raves and maybe throws something. Then, they move on. Not the healthiest way to resolve differences, and not the healthiest way to grow up. Bethenny, imo, does not know how to deal with calm when she gets angry because to her, the other person doesn't care enough to fight back, and given the toxic way she learned about relationships, she thinks that you need to fight back to basically prove you care. I also get the feeling that Jason also may have been the same way with her when she was angry about something, so it's another trigger for her. It really seems like nothing else enrages Bethenny quite like someone else staying calm while they're arguing with her. It throws her off balance and she just starts getting louder and talks faster. 21 Link to comment

njbchlover June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 (edited) While I have never been a Bethenny apologist, and I totally agree that you shouldn't do for others to hold it over their heads, I TOTALLY get where she is coming from tonight. If Bethenny truly did all she said she did, then, she should be deserving of more from Luann than we have seen from Luann this season. More gratitude, more kindness, or even, more thanks. Not falling down on the ground, bowing and scraping every time Bethenny enters a room, but just something. I have an in-law that we have done things for time and time and time again. My husband has bailed him out of trouble (not actually bailed him out, like in jail - just other ways of bailing someone out of trouble) more times than I can count. This last time, it cost my husband and I a great deal of money (thousands of dollars), and many, many hours of time and frustration on my husband's part. We did it because he is family-for no other reason, and not expecting or asking for any thanks. For all of this, I have never, ever heard a single word of thanks or gratitude from this person, but still, we continue to get calls for more help - financial help and assistance in other things. This person has no qualms in acting horrible to my husband when he chooses to and shows no gratitude when he should. It's frustrating and annoying as hell. So, I get Bethenny has reached a breaking point. For me, I have decided to not engage with the person in my family, and will not see/speak to him, until I can work through my issues with him and be civil - meaning I will not want to walk up to him and punch his face in. My husband, unfortunately, still is dealing with him, at least for now. Edited June 13, 2019 by njbchlover 15 Link to comment

The ex restaurant hostess lives in NYC where you have every type of person imaginable including homeless. Her story about the subway sickened me. Who the fuck does she think she is. The toast of the town? Sonja wears blinders all the time, and refuses to travel to parts of the city that she thinks are beneath her. And yes, she is completely blind to anything that does not directly impact her life - including the homeless and mentally disturbed people that may be hovering 25 feet away from her doorman guarded front door. 1 14 Link to comment

So those background peeps ignoring or barely glancing at Yowling Bethenny — do we think they’re paid PAs like what’s-his-name from last week who couldn’t talk about being a PA due to his NDA...and then posted about it? I mean, who else would sit thru that kind of screeching so calmly? ETA: also — what ichbin said before me! Edited June 13, 2019 by SCS ichbin said it first, hmph! 13 Link to comment
swankie June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Did anyone else think it was strange that none of the other patrons turned to look at the commotion Bethenny was causing? Only one woman at the end even looked at her. Anyway, Bethenny needs therapy. That was a major meltdown she was having. I was so wishing for Luann to say, "So be cool. Don't be all, like, uncool." 🤣 9 12 Link to comment

Isn't that why she asked Bethenny (or Dennis - I'm not really clear on who she was looking for a loan from) to buy her a house? Luanne is FINE. She does not need Bethanny for anything, thank god. Bethanny waited for her to come home one night and she's losing her mind. The stuff Bethanny was spewing at her, I'm like, "that's not really that unusual." I think Bethanny DOESN'T really care about Luanne, and she did it as an "investment." She determined to make Luanne pay her back. Good luck with that. Tit for tat is a miserable way to live. 3 2 12 Link to comment

If there was a table of women carrying on the way these loons did you can bet they would be getting lots of attention from other patrons. 3 12 Link to comment

I think she'd be interrupting and jumping around screaming after the first sentence. 1 12 Link to comment

She married very well. People need to stop reading those online "The Richest" lists because Countess LuLu doesn't have nearly the kind of money she plays at. If she did, she wouldn't have been begging Bethenny and Dennis for a $6 million loan/gift, she wouldn't have admitted that no bank would lend her that money, she wouldn't have been sued by her children to satisfy the divorce agreement, she wouldn't have satisfied their lawsuit by adding her children's names to the title of her Sag Harbor home, and she wouldn't have used the $4 million that was owed to her children from the sale of the Bridge Hampton home as an interest free loan. And this is all shit Luann has admitted herself (except for the interest free loan, but that's true too). Luann's not doing Sonja bad, but she's doing so much worse than she lets on. Those lists say that Carole "owns" Radziwill properties that were seized in WW II and the communist revolutions. And while Luann might have married well, she's Alex's 4th wife.
