Season 1 is GOLD. Alex talking quite openly about social climbing in "higher and higher circles" and Luann declaring that not many people are lucky enough to find their soulmate but The Count is hers, and Jill flouncing out of a fashion week show because she's not in the front row and she NEVER sits elsewhere.

so yeah on WWHL Bethenny was asked by Lea Michelle which original cast member she'd bring back. Lea was hoping she'd say Jill and Bethenny said Jill. A caller asked if Bethenny has stayed in contact with Jill since Bobby's funeral and the answer is yes. I'll be shocked if Jill isn't back next year

R27, even in a show where most scenes are pre-planned, that particular one seemed incredibly staged and phony. Tinsley is a horrible actress.

by Anonymousreply 33May 3, 2018 6:54 AM

I think Tinsely BF is really cute in a bearish kind of way. He also seems very sweet. I'd do him and the fact that he is rich is a plus. Me thinks Tins is a hot pile of neurosis though and I am sure he will get bored of her.

Agree about Dorinda and Bethenny, I think she is the only one who could really take her on..I don't like the kissing up to Bethenny. I recoil when she is on camera. The whole Puerto Rico thing is great, nice job B. However she is doing to for self promotion like everything else.

Ramona and Sonja were laughing during their standoff. You know it's not totally serious but it was funny to watch.

Lastly, this episode was the most Carole Bradshaw of the season or possibly ever! Carole hailing a cab in a trendy pantsuit with a flower attached at the waste was definitely the ultimate of the young, dewey and fresh gal about the city story arc..

I know someone who worked with Scott 15 years ago or so - he didn't have much good to day. Extremely ambitious and would step over anyone to get ahead and smile in your face while he did it. That's what it takes to get ahead I guess - and he was probably young - many straight men are immature assholes in their 20's.

Oh - and his company is known to be a soul-crushing, tons of hours work environment. Again - not unique.

That's all I've got.

I think Tinsely is just a sidepiece for Scott and that he's using her for sex and free promotion/publicity but definitely for sex even though they don't see each other that often, on a regular basis. I don't think he thinks of her as serious marriage material. She's too ditzy and immature and high maintenance and needy too.

She also wears her (fake) hair and dresses like 20 years ago, like she's still in her 20's. She's too girlish; more girly than mature woman. I just don't think he considers her a lifetime partner or someone he would have kids with (of course using her frozen eggs) but that she thinks of him in terms of husband and father of her kids. What they each want or will get out of the relationship are two different things.

Bethenny's comments on Jill

Offsite Link
by Anonymousreply 41May 3, 2018 4:54 PM

Jill is madly campaigning for "friend of" status in Season 11. She said it directly in an interview (maybe eonline; the focus was her "dating life" and choosing Ramoaner as her "wing woman') Unless she's shilling something (and she usually is), her social media posts invariably reference RHoNY. But really, once she allowed Bravo to film her at Bawby's funeral it was clear she has no shame and will stop at nothing.

by Anonymousreply 42May 3, 2018 5:03 PM

I really didn't think Bethenny would ever "allow" that, but last night's appearance changed my mind. And Jill is now also back with Ramona.

R45 No, you're not the only one. I noticed that as well.

I think Tinz is more interested in him than the other way around. Which means it's not likely to work out in the long run. I'd be surprised if Scott isn't seeing someone on a regular basis who lives closer to him or whom he works with and is using Tinz for side sex and free promo. One thing is for sure during their separation, he didn't go 3 months without sex.

I used to defend Tinsley's inclusion on the show because she epitomises a certain era of NYC (the Olivia Palermo/Socialite Rank/Gossip Girl years) but she lost me with that Scott scene (probably the worst scene of the show so far). Not only throwing herself on the floor but then calling Carole and then her mother to repeat the story as if it were truly fascinating was excruciating to watch. She's 42 fucking years old. She can go now, along with Carole and Sonja.

Dorinda cracked me up on this past episode.

First time was when she started laughing during her confessional, when she was describing the awkward tension when LuAnn was making small talk with Dennis, and found out that he was the one that she had been bad-mouthing.

The second time was watching Dorinda play with that toy soldier doll at Ramona's shopping party. She was obsessed with it, and taking selfies.

What is with Dorinda and her christmas ornaments??

Because Missy is a tramp, R102.

She was blatantly flirting with Tom right before he and LuAnn got married. I have a feeling that they were definitely having sex before and during the marriage.

So when Missy introduces someone to LuAnn and claims that they should go on a date, I'd be suspicious.

I could absolutely believe that Bravo would give Sonja a spin-off series. Bravo is like the welfare network for reality tv people who don't want "real" jobs. But want to remain on television in their own series even if the ratings aren't that good.

Look at kim Zolciak! We all know if it wasn't for Bravo she wouldn't have shit. Her show is how she stays afloat financially. Big papa is no longer in the picture? Kroy dosent have a job? So what would they do with Bravo? It would be right back to the townhouse in sugarloaf. And that tacky faux mansion they live in would be put up for sale or go into foreclosure.

Sonja is definitely in the same situation probably.

Its just like I said. Bravo is the welfare network for former reality show HWs. None of them wants to work.

Now they are the ones laughing, not her. All the way to the bank. She has already filed for bankruptcy and of course is blaming her ex for that when she acted on her own against his wishes. He had warned her.

R115 is absolutely right. Sonja is the type of grifter that unfortunately can be found traveling in all economic circles. Only the level and amounts of the scams vary.

All of Sonja's business 'endeavors" - from the toaster oven, to the wine, to the restaurant, etc - are all designed to find investors and then defraud and bilk money from them.

If you read the article linked in R115, the people who filed and eventually won the lawsuit against her were not inexperienced in that type of business. The level to which Sonia ran the scam by developing her con, covering her bases, and carrying it through to the very end all show her scam was very well rehearsed through years of practice.

Sonja's hair looks stringy and messy. I guess she had her hair extensions removed or whatever. The only way her hair looked halfway decent in this episode was when she had it tied up. Otherwise it looked terrible.

And, what homeowner selling an expensive piece of property doesn't have their house professionally cleaned BEFORE the photographer arrives? I don't believe her housekeeper cancelled last minute. I think she was behind in payments or maybe stiffed her and couldn't afford to have her return. Sonja could have called any number of housecleaning services last minute and got someone over there to clean even if it was last minute, like the day before the photographer arrived.

She was not only unprepared she was lying to them. She seems to be keeping up appearances when she's really broke. Dog shit on the patio, really? Well, at least she collected the dog shit and left it in a nice pile.

R205, what are you talking about? Dorinda shamed and embarrassed herself. Bethany remained composed during the dinner and would've been justified if she had made a scene and told Dorinda to leave. The next day on the plane she showed her more compassion than any of the others would have afforded her. She didn't call her a drunk to be mean. She did it so she would get help and stop embarrassing herself to which Dorinda admitted she probably did need help. What Bethenny isn't is an enabler like some of the others are for making excuses for Dorindas behavior. Getting drunk at a nightclub with your girlfriends is far different than being at a dinner discussing life altering issues and being a messy drunk.

r220, exactly. That's why it's all sketchy. Had Bethenny not been with Dorinda earlier drinking, then I would understand. But don't drink with someone, get her liquored up, and then call her out under some self-righteous pretext.

by Anonymousreply 221May 10, 2018 1:34 PM

Dorinda doesn't need therapy. She's just sad and depressed.

She's going through a mid-life crisis, where everything is changing. She basically said it. Not to mention that the biggest change was the death of her spouse and partner. And it takes years (maybe more) to get over it.

She also said that she met John only 6 months after Richard's death, so it sounds like she was lonely and desperate for companionship. The way she spoke about not wanting to die alone in her apartment, just proves that she just wants another person with her, and doesn't really care who it is.

I feel bad for her. It's strange, because she has a daughter, a relationship, and a big circle of friends, but she's still depressed. Most people would love to have her life. But everyone handles stress and loss, differently. So when Bethenny said, "well everybody's got problems," she's right, but everyone doesn't handle those problems the same way. Some people can deal, and some can't.

So Dorinda's drinking is most definitely tied to some kind of depression, unhappiness, and anxiety about the future. I don't think she's the type to take medication either, because when Sonja told her about all the meds the doctor prescribed to her, Dorinda shook her head and mentioned how bad they are, because of all the side effects. I tend to agree with her.

Additionally, she could be going through menopause and other hormonal changes, which just make any problems that she has, even worse.

Not sure what Dorinda can do about all of this, but hey - at least she still has money, friends, and family.

Btw, it was really shitty of Bethenny to say "I'm going to be super kind, but you're a drunk." Prior to that, she also said "I'm not a doctor."

So she's "kind," but calls her friend a drunk, and she's not a doctor, but she's diagnosing Dorinda? Give me a break. She is honestly in no position to give advice. Being rich doesn't make you wise or smart. It just makes you rich.

R246 Being cruel to be kind. Most of Dorinda’s onscreen character is being a drunk, slurring fool who the audience laughs at. I felt embarrassed for her as soon as the subtitles came up to translate her drunken rambles as the production always does with her. She is being mocked and exploited by the show and clearly has an alcohol addiction.

Isn't Bethenny so magnanimous? She drank with Dorinda all afternoon and then allowed Dorinda to go in front of cameras "bombed" (Bethenny's words) only so she could call her a drunk the next day. What a friend.

I still love Dorinda after her dinner performance. She showed a bit of fallen showgirl syndrome in that her husband w as invlved in international development for the USA gov and he used to discuss these matters with her and take her on biz trips She seemed a bit left behind in the conversation - out of the loop And then she became aggressive in her drunkeness Poor baby

She's admitted John's not a proper partner so it'll be interesting to see where that goes

it's just odd. Dorinda is clearly a somewhat intelligent woman. She knows she's filming a tv show for work yet she repeatedly chooses to get drunk. Sometimes she shows up drunk and other times she gets drunk while filming. The fact that she has no problem doing it over and over again means she obviously has a drinking problem and should get help ASAP

Dorinda keeps me watching.

Luann I still like. Bethenny has her moments but she's intolerable IRL and gets the "voice of reason" edit for the show. Carole and Tinsley are neither pluses nor minuses for me. I really find Sonja and Ramona just nasty, mean-spirited bitches. Not funny at all.

Does Dorinda drink too much? I don't know that she drinks so often, she just gets hilariously shitfaced when she does drink. In any case, she's not out getting arrested like Luann so I'm not worried about Doris. (I wish she'd visit BH next season and raise hell.)

I think most viewers feel the same way as the person above who thinks Dorinda gets “hilariously shitfaced.” Whether she is an alcohol addict or she binges for the sake of being a TV personality, I personally can’t find much entertainment value in laughing at drunk people. There’s a good amount of alcoholism in my family and so it’s not really a laughing matter to me. I understand that opinions on this sort of thing differ...laughing at anyone’s self-abuse just isn’t enjoyable for me. I know that reality TV is a phenomenon with a life of its own, but I really have grown to resent Andy Cohen for his whole career, from exploiting middle-aged women’s addictions, illnesses and desperate attention-seeking to making straight viewers think that all gay men live to snort coke off the asses of 19 year-old “pass-around party bottoms.” Way too many random women have made casual remarks to me that make it clear they expect me to have the same interests and lifestyle as Cohen, and I find it really dehumanizing. I play it off because I don’t want to come across as humorless, but insinuations that because I am gay, I am all about working out, fucking young guys indiscriminately, doing drugs and selling myself out to marginally famous or wealthy people really offends me.

by Anonymousreply 266May 11, 2018 11:47 AM

In previous seasons Dorinda has been drunk in the early episodes and group trips and then she mellows out a bit. I don't think she is an actual alcoholic but she seems to get really fucked up. I am thinking there is some form of medication in the mix? The slurring is incredible to me. I know Dorinda naturally speaks with a bit of a slur but jeez she was unintelligible. She seems very vulnerable for such a seemingly strong woman. John is just an anchor it seems.

"I'm not a doctor."

If you are anyway affiliated with these women: child, parent, relative, friend, co-worker, I would suggest removing yourself form their orbit. They are disloyal, damaged beyond repair, needing false fame for validation with no core - which will take precedence over concern for others, of needs of anyone else in their lives.

everyone talks about Dorinda, her alcoholism, but also how real, genuine she is....have you seen her daughter? She's a fucking twit, weirdo, bizarre young woman with no direction - so how real is Dorinda apart from dealing with her own neediness and boring everyone with how the death of her husband was so much more monumental that anyone elses experiences? If I were her husband, I would have wished death on myself to get away from her.

Considering we live in such a youth-oriented society, when they are old and post-Bravo (only 5-10 yrs away, really) they'll find themselves alone unless they spend time with other disordered crazies and narcissists like themselves. Otherwise that circle of friends they now have, most of whom are using them for some reason or other, will be gone.

Once that happens they'll no longer be relevant and no one will admire or look up to them. I just watch the show, I do not admire them, but some viewers do. They do have a fan base, at least for now, until they are post-Bravo and old. Then their fan base will shrink and eventually disappear. Their social media followers will be gone. Once they are older their reputations as fame-whores and disordered women who create crazy drama out of thin air like a bunch of high schoolers, will seem more real to those who currently admire them and no one will give them a second look or time of day. They'll be admiring the younger and beautiful ones, their replacements.

The other thing is that disordered people get worse as they age/over time, not better or more mature. No, they get worse, just like with any medically diagnosed brain disorder. No legacy here, and they will not be forever admired like some real actresses are; "OMG, I know you, you used to be a HW, can I have your autograph. please?" No, they will be irrelevant and no one will pay any attention to them. Miss Cohen will be done using and exploiting them and busy with the new batch of young and beautiful crazies. No one will look up to them. They will look down on them. They will be mocked and remembered as the drunken crazy ladies among other nasty, negative labels.

Another interesting feature of RHONY compared to the other franchises is that the cast members all have at least one their HW with whom they share a fatal flaw.

Dorinda and Sonja are deeply sad women who can’t let go of their pasts and escape into altered states (whether it be booze, coke or in Sonja’s case straight up delusion of grandeur) to insulate themselves.

Luann and Ramona, who despite opposite life philosophies (Luann’s “just be cool” to Ramona’s “I’m sorry but can I be honest here”), are both hopeless narcissists who will never consider any perspective but their own and who will spend the rest of their lives completely at a loss as to why anyone would have an issue with the breathtaking selfishness that just comes naturally to them.

Tinsley and Carole, the world’s oldest debutante and junior at NYU, respectively, will probably go to their graves with nothing on their minds but party dresses, boys and pets that just coincidently happen to be the size of the babies they’ll never have.

Bethenny at her worst (which she is more and more frequently) is Jill Zarin 2.0 - an exacting tyrant who requires constant validation, perceives any human weakness in her friends as a personal slight and who is never happier then when she is devising punishments.

I think that the second quote, answers the first.

When I think about why Dorinda would want to stay on the show, it's because there's an exciting element to being a reality celebrity.

It's not only the Housewives, but Survivor contestants, Big Brother contestants, Amazing Race contestants, the Duggars, and even the Little People on TLC. Once they get used to the intrusion into their lives, they discover a life of celebrity, fame, and perks.

Dorinda is on radio shows, daytime talk shows, I've seen her make commercials, she gets flown out to LA for Andy's show, and I'm sure that she's interviewed by numerous magazines. She's probably recognized everywhere she goes, gets told how much people "love her," and want her autographed, and is photographed, etc. And who knows how many freebies she gets, just for being a reality star. For all intents and purposes, they truly are treated like celebrities.

That's the part that's very addictive.

Jill Zarin was a Housewife when it was still new and ratings were huge, so her taste of fame must have been on an even larger scale.

Once they learn how to navigate the bad press, I'm sure that the perks of the "job" outweigh the negative stuff. Just like any other celebrity, they learn to deal with it. Even better, it's like a fast-track to being famous, without having had to pay their dues, like Hollywood stars had to.

Being a shy person myself, I have never sought out (not wanted) attention or fame. But for a person who doesn't mind being in the spotlight, living the life of a well-known reality star, must be pretty good.

I don't even know that fame was "sought out", at least not in the early stages of Housewives. I think it enveloped all of them and some (like Jill) got way too caught up in it.

Bravo re-ran a very early season a week or two ago. In one episode Jill schlepped out to Darien to be part of a radio broadcast her sister Lisa was doing, and part of that was a one-on-one interview between the sisters in which Jill said very plainly that she was unpopular in school. I think that explains everything about her thirst for the spotlight.

The difference between them and actors R342 is that actors are in the public eye and are tabloid fodder, with their appearances criticized etc., but few of the talented celebs (with exceptions like GOOP) are liked or loathed for who they are as people. There’s a clear distinction between the job and the human being.

Sorry but I didn’t read the whole thread but I just caught one of the episodes and Sonya is renting her town house. They showed the front door of her neighbor’s, not hers. Hers is next to parking garage!

I work nearby and know the area, have even seen her in the past.

by Anonymousreply 371May 13, 2018 7:25 PM

^ Why did they use the neighbor's front door/entrance and not hers? Was it in need of updating and repair?

Aldo to add here, stupid Sonja didn't even have the townhouse or patios professionally cleaned before the realtor arrived with the photographer. She was running around in a frenzy trying to organize the clutter and last minute putting things away. She even scooped up her dog's dried up shit into a neat pile on the patio. I was embarrassed for her.

She had been told months earlier that the decor was too specific and most potential renters would not like it. For $32K per month they are going to expect better than that outdated decor and wallpaper everywhere that is also very specific to her personal tastes. You'd think she would have had the wallpaper removed and everything freshly painted and the repairs made and a thorough professional cleaning. All she did was make her bed, do the dishes and put her clothes and sex toys away.

IMO, her townhome is not ready for showings. She was informed months ago exactly what needed to be done (which wasn't major renovation type of work) to get her asking price and yet she did nothing. I don't believe she'll get $32K rent per month for that place, at least not in that condition with cobwebs and outdated, tacky decor. Where's Bethenny and Fredrik when you need them?

by Anonymousreply 372May 13, 2018 9:33 PM

I just noticed this recently, but when Bethenny is not in a group setting with the women, she is only ever SELLING SOMETHING.

She's either selling her SG product, or some "charity" she's organizing, or some event where she's being honored, but it's always some sort of SELLING MACHINE going on with her.

I mean, I guess it should be obvious, but she's really on the show to sell herself, which really sucks.

The other ladies are talking about their lives and relationships, and all she does is hawk her products on the show like that DUMP CAKE lady on the infomertial.

I think Bethenny would be better suited for HSN, rather than the Real Housewives. That's the truth.

How many more episodes of "Bethenny Frankel, Patron Saint of Puerto Rico," are we going to have to endure?

by Anonymousreply 391May 15, 2018 1:01 PM

A Manhattan judge Thursday said he wants Bethenny Frankel’s daughter to see a psychologist, but he won’t change the custody agreement she has with her ex-husband — for now.

The decision came following yet another fiery court appearance for the estranged couple, in which lawyers for the “Real Housewives of New York” star invoked ex Jason Hoppy’s recent stalking charges while his attorneys claimed the Skinnyg​i​rl ​creator didn’t actually care about their 7-year-old’s best interests.

The Post exclusively reported that Frankel, 47, sued for full custody of Bryn in December 2017, after Hoppy struck a dismissal deal in criminal court for approaching the former reality star at their daughter’s school and allegedly hissing, “I will destroy you, you can get all the lawyers you want, you’ve been warned.”

The two currently co-parent.

Judge Michael Katz said that while “on the surface it appears the child is doing well,” he wants an undated evaluation from a psychologist to ensure the parents’ venom isn’t warping her youth.

“What is very clear to me is that there is a terrible environment for communication between the parties,” Katz noted.

“This is a case where joint custody is just not viable,” Frankel’s attorney, Allan Mayefsky, told Katz earlier Thursday. “The harassment, the stalking, the 500 emails in 90 days, in which he called her a ‘sad, miserable, bitter old woman,’ and said, ‘I’ll pray for you,’ while asking about life insurance — a veiled threat — there’s no way these parties can be joint custodians.”

Mayefsky added that, during his email crusade, Hoppy had also mocked Frankel’s newfound Jewish faith.

“He wants joint custody because he wants the child support and he wants to be able to continue to see and harass my client,” said the lawyer, as Frankel stared straight ahead clad in a tight, green frock.

Her ex spent the hearing angrily sipping from a small water bottle.

Hoppy’s lawyer, Robert Wallack, argued that in all the court papers there hadn’t been a single mention of the 7-year-old.

“She’s smart, she’s happy, she’s healthy, and she’s doing well in second grade,” boomed Wallack. “The child is thriving under the current custody agreement.”

Hoppy’s attorney also said the duo just needed to “grow up” so their daughter didn’t have to read about herself online.

“You made this agreement, you’re going to have to grow up, you’re going to have to act like adults, and you’re going to have to make it work in the best interest of the child here,” he said of the 2014 deal currently in place.

“Does this mean Frankel has to wait until the child is 18 to stop receiving these derogatory emails?” Katz smirked.

“As far as respectful communication, that would certainly be a goal,” Wallack backpedaled. “But I want to note the current parenting plan has been working for five years.”

The estranged couple will return to court in early spring for an update.

“Bethenny’s claims of verbal abuse and harassment are untrue and are not borne out by the evidence,” Wallack said after the hearing. “The judge today simply acknowledged that the parties have had difficulty communicating with one another. And, while I don’t believe that re-opening this custody case is in Bryn’s best interests, the fact is Jason Hoppy is a great dad, and I fully expect that we will prevail if there’s a custody hearing.”

The surprising thing was Jason going off the rails. He seemed so grounded, and so did his family. She must be doing something, for him to go completely batshit crazy. I'm guessing he just feels used by her, not to mention all the work he put in to help build her business. And then she was like, "ok, bye bye. you're gone."

I agree. But would like to add that if one is married to a sociopath they create drama and make it impossible to keep the peace because they thrive on drama. Being cordial doesn't change them. I am not saying Jason is a sociopath as I know nothing about him other than the stalking stories, etc. But that behavior sure does fit sociopathic behavior. And if he is a sociopath no matter what she says/does there will be chaos and drama. There is no way of working around that. Can't work around the crazy. I was married to a sociopath for 5 yrs. It's impossible. But it's also very possible that they are both crazy and both are equally part of the problem.

Aviva was liked pretty well at the beginning of season 5 because she seemed to have that cool New York sensibility that Carole has, but as soon as she started getting into mindless tiffs and having privileged temper tantrums, viewers quickly turned on her.

R434 Yeah but the woman in charge at Cosmo knew Carole from a party many, many years prior; one night, all those years ago, when they got smashed and were so drunk they didn't know how they got home. So all these years later, she finally contacted her co-drunk drinking buddy, Carole, to author a short article for Cosmo. Makes perfect sense to me.

Carole is a 50 year old anorexic real life carrie bradshaw. She clearly has issues with food with the way she ordered those eggs and the food wasn't allowed to be touching etc.

Adam seems like a entitled boy to me but it was a fair question of he couldn't really afford or didnt want to take a week off without pay. Either way by saying Adam is an opportunist, Bethenny casts a cloud of opportunism over Carole's and Adam's relationship. Not nice.

Miss Carole Bradshaw has some choice words for B's shade about her career (or lack thereof)

"All I’ll say about the latest bunch of insults, including the bizarre claim that I don’t have a career, is this: I will put my resume up against Bethenny Frankel’s any day of the week. When Bethenny was auditioning for B movies, I was travelling for ABC News to places similar to what you saw in Puerto Rico. After that I worked in publishing and wrote for national magazines, and now yes, I am on Reality TV. The irony isn’t lost on me that while Bethenny is gossiping about me over pizza with Dorinda, I’m working.

The entirety of Bethenny’s career, other than some minor success she had as a caterer, has been in Reality TV. From Apprentice to Housewives and all that it has brought her — including launching her Skinnygirl business — Reality TV has been very good to her. "

R457, I think you're right! but also, I think Bethenny is such a narcissist that the moment Carole stopped trailing after her and agreeing with everything she said/did, she turned on her. I think she felt like she'd lost control of Carole and resented she didn't have her complete attention anymore. I don't know how fair the idea of Carole as a 'puppet' is, and I find it ironic that Bethenny made the claim when she was the one appropriating Sonja's issues with Tinsley in order to attack her in public about an argument that had nothing to do with her, but I kind of feel like Bethenny has absolutely no problem with Carole being someone's puppet, as long as that person is her.

Conversely, I feel that Carole actually has her own control in her relationship with Tinsley and that is more of an equal friendship. As usual, Bethenny has no self-awareness and seems to be projecting her behaviour onto other people.

by Anonymousreply 462May 17, 2018 8:54 PM

Adam totally seems like an opportunist, so I believe Bethenny on that one. The fact that he's demanding payment for charitable photography work, is totally scummy. It's DISASTER RELIEF, you selfish asshole!

Now his being with Carol makes total sense. He was with her to boost his profile, and nothing more. He might have gotten some old lady pussy for a while, but once he used her for as much as he could, he was done and moved on to a younger woman. Naturally.

The fact that Carol was defending his asking to be paid for relief work, just shows that they're both selfish cunts.

I think Dorinda's going to be in trouble next episode, because Carol is going to blurt out to Bethenny, "so I hear that you were mad at Adam for asking to be paid for his photography work...." Obviously Dorinda blabbed.

Haha she has such a big mouth. First she repeated what Sonja told her about Tinsley, which created problems, and now she's repeating what Bethenny told her about Carol - again, creating problems.

LuAnn jumps on petty insults to facilitate drama, she rarely ignores it. Plus, no woman who is being called a man is going to take that shit, let alone LuAnn. I doubt "LuMan" let that one go.

And like someone mentioned upthread, it's one of the rare times we've seen the devastation that still remains in Puerto Rico TO THIS DAY. The Trump administration, FEMA, and Congress should be ashamed.

I only wish that Dorinda had been drunk and/or coked up during the gift card deliveries. It would have been fun to see her walk up to a family and go, "Aaah, yer showe boooteeful. I'm unna gib yoo all dish moneee cuz yer sho booteful an aye wish yooo wer marfandl aopenn adrun dour grun…"

But Rick and Nicky who had originally agreed to do the show backed out the day it was supposed to be the Hilton's VS Kardashian's family fued show.

I despise Bethenny, but in that conversation with Dorinda she did say that Adam HAS MONEY, while these "nurses and teachers" volunteering "have nothing".. Charming and elitist statement. But the way Bethenny said it, I totally believe that Adam is worth 1 million.

I find this season gray and dark. Everyone seems in a dark place. Not enjoying it like the others. Even the early winter setting looks bleak as shit. I am not even liking Dorinda. Sonja is absolutely HORRIBLE to watch. Carol seems desperate and lonely. Tinsley (whom I LOVED last year) is pressed. Bethenny is absolutely transparent and a NIGHTMARE. Lu is probably the most watchable, but she seems tentative and depressed, and her arrest hasn't even occurred yet! The highlight of the season was Ramona telling Lu she looks like a man. And that evil cackle. And after reading that pod cast transcript with Ramona and her garbage daughter. I am no longer a Ramona fab. She sounds like a CUNT on wheels.

If you would have told me that POTOMAC would have been the most watchable of this franchise, I would have told you that you were crazy.

Bring in Jill and Heather, Jill on Bethenny's side and Heather on Carole's - built in drama.

Why is no one talking about the appearance of MTV's "Duff" on this last episode? Why is no one talking about how Duff looks like a typical house frau these days after once being kinda cool and edgy?

Duff was pretty famous in the 90's. She was an IT girl and MTV VJ. She was smart and gorgeous. Looks like she has some kind of debilitating condition.

I mentioned above that Lu is dreary to watch yet the most watchable. Hell, she is completely not likeable this season either.

I find the women to be supremely unwatchable this season on RHONYC.

I always liked Heather and she would have been a welcome addition this season-

Carole - Carrie

Tinsley - Charlotte

Dorinda - Miranda

Luann - Samantha

Bethenny - Mr Big

Sonja - Lexi Featherston

Ramona - Amy Sedaris' publicist character that was in 4 episodes

I agree R544. If they play it down and smooth that DUI over and the assault on the cops I will stop watching too. Because a non-celebrity and/or POC would never get away with it.

She is likely to get 1-3 years probation, court-ordered substance abuse treatment and evaluation and a fine.

I can’t stand Tinsley. I can’t stand her. She has no personality and I don’t find any appeal in socialites in their full glory, much less 15 years past their primes. What is the point of Tinsley?

I used to be the lone dissenter here who kind of liked Carole when she was Writer Carole, but this new Bored Mean Carole needs to be hauled off with the rest of the stinking Manhattan trash.

Bethenny is an opportunistic narcissistic control freak but she is a one-liner generator who keeps things interesting. Ramona, LuAnn and Sonja are all...well, they’ve got issues but they’re all bearable and capable of being fun and I’m invested in their stories. Although if Lady Liberty dropped her lamp on any of the Trump supporters, I’d ask to see the footage before I cheered.

By the way, what the fuck kind of stupid fucking name is Tinsley? Was she a little silvery whisp when she was born and her mother said, “She looks like tinsel! She’s Tinsley!” Or what? Stupid name for a dumb boring whore.

by Anonymousreply 558May 20, 2018 9:37 PM

R557/r558 you're funny. I thought maybe when she first came on she would be somewhat self aware and reinvent herself, but no she so latches on to any remnant of her past glory like she's holding on for dear like (just look at her throwbacks on IG). How she flipped on and couldn't bear the thought that she was "socially at the bottom." If she were savvy about her image she would have said something like "so fucking what I realized a long time ago that's all bullshit anyway." But her whole not to secret wish of "coming back" is to "get back" to being the exact Tinsley Mortimer she was and back in those same groups, which will never ever happen. To begin with, most of her former group isn't even interested in that game anymore. Everyone's moved on but her, basically. That's become really clear this season and it's pathetic.

Agree that everything looks and seems bleak and dark this season, but that mirrors the way NYC felt this fall and winter, so it works for me. With all the Trump junk, MeToo stuff, and assorted problems central to New York, it felt like everyone was going through it this past ten months.

I agree with the Tinsel hate I never liked her. She's dull but unlike Jules or Kristin doesn't even seem the least bit likeable. She's the kind of dumb bitch you want to punch in the face.

R550, Karen Duffy does have some type of incurable disease that's left her partially paralyzed.

According to her Wiki bio, she's written a couple of books about it. In the one she promoted on the show "she describes her ongoing incurable disease and constant pain, using humor and acceptance of her condition to cope."

Ramona and Carole keep alluding via their Bravo blogs that the season becomes everyone eventually icing out Bethenny. This is clearly a catalyst for Bethenny suddenly jumping back into Jill's arms and saying everything while not saying anything that she wants Jill back on the show as an ally.

LuAnn looks like a transitioning Bruce Jenner in the pic at R574!!!

It definitely seems they are giving LuAnn the sympathetic edit this season. She goes on an on about her "wake-up call" with the police, and then reaches for yet another glass of wine. Bitch didn't learn shit.

r578, Ramona owns a business where she buys discount designer clothes and sells them to places like TJ Maxx, etc. At least that is the type of biz she had in the early seasons (and we actually saw her at work).

yeah she just makes calls to make deals to buy and the resell clothes.

Living in NYC and being Jewish also helps. A lot. I live here in the NYC Metro area and know that they help each other out as opposed to screwing each other over (Madoff was a whole different story). They want wealth in the Jewish community. No, I am not an anti-semite. Save it Jew troll. I am just stating my observations, not being accusatory or anti anything. I admire them for that.

by Anonymousreply 586May 22, 2018 3:54 AM

R586 actually I fucking wish. My fathers side of the family is Jewish (father was an atheist though) and not only do Jews have no concept of family loyalty but they hold grudges better than anyone. Italians, Greeks...now they're insanely loyal. Jewish people are not generally good to their own, so...not sure where you all get that from.

by Anonymousreply 587May 22, 2018 5:00 AM

^ LOL. "Italians loyal?" Hell no. Coming from an Italian family they are the ones who lack loyalty. I've always noticed Jewish people helping each other and wished my Italian family could be more like them. Learn something new everyday I suppose.

I think maybe some Jews are loyal and some Italians are loyal. People are people. Some are clannish, some are fair to everyone, and some treat everyone like shit. I’m a goy in NYC and it can appear and Jews stick together and support each other while screwing over others, but I think it has this appearance only because they are actually being generous and those whom they know best (and help out) happen to be Jewish.

Isn’t Bethenny half Jewish? She’s full asshole, so she clearly inherited shit genes from both sides.

sonya spotted wasted and humping people at Paul"s baby grand bar.

“She rolled in straight from the ‘Watch What Happens Live’ studio, wasted and humping people,” said a source. “She was making out with blondes [of both genders] and then left with one.”

But Morgan told us: “This always happens to me! I was dancing with a bunch of girlfriends and my friends. Humping? What does that mean? Dancing? Grinding? Humping? That’s all in the eye of the beholder. I was drinking, yes. It’s all so exaggerated. I was having fun.”

She added, “That’s why I like to have my parties on Wednesdays at home because everything gets exaggerated. You can’t even go out anymore.”

The Bravo star’s drinking has been a topic on past seasons of her show.

Morgan told “Page Six TV”: “Bethenny [Frankel] confronted me about my drinking binges, whatever season that was . . . I reflected, went to a therapist, talked to my doctors, tested all my bloods. I wanted to see, ‘Do I have a problem?’ And it came out, ‘No, you don’t have a problem. But, you know, you’re going through a lot, you need to talk to somebody.’”

MJ Javid confirms Ramona is a bitch

[quote] “Ramona’s awful. She’s really rude to people,” she said on a recent episode of “The Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro.”

[quote]“We’ve shot things like ‘Summer By Bravo’ and she’s just — it’s like she doesn’t, it’s become kinda a comedic thing now where she doesn’t acknowledge people,” she explained. “She sees everyone as beneath her. She doesn’t remember anyone’s name who she’s met a million times. I mean, I think that s–t sucks, you know? When do you ever want to make someone feel like s–t who ranks in some professional lower tier? Like, you want to lift those people up…I would never take her personally. I just, I observe it.”

[quote] But when reached for comment via her rep on Friday, Singer, 61, offered up an apology.

[quote] “I apologize that she felt offended,” Singer told Page Six. “I had been working on my marriage at the time which resulted in a divorce. I was very wrapped up in my own world. That period of my life was very difficult. My intent is never to be rude or disrespectful towards people.”

That is actually true. ^ Ramona IS an awful human being. She does look down on people and she is very toxic and rude.

She's also an instigator. At 60 yrs old, her grown ass instigating trouble like a mean girl 16 yr old high-schooler. Ramona hasn't *emotionally* matured a day beyond 16 yrs old. Intellectually maybe, but definitely not mentally or emotionally. She's trash.

If BRAVO edits out or plays down LuAnn's arrest I will be done with RHONYC. I am not going to want anything to do with this if all she gets is a slap on the wrist (probation is a joke and she'll probably just party with and fuck her P.O.) because of her celebrity. If BRAVO plays it down and asshole Cohen smiles and jokes about the incident at the reunion I am done with this mess. I am not going support that shit.
