Bethenny Frankel Organizing Aid for Miami Condo Collapse with BStrong Initiative: 'Please Help'

What an incredible woman.

What an incredible attention whore.

R2

Don’t be like that. She’s doing an incredible thing for people in need during a tragedy.

Bethenny is really coming through.

Wow, what she’s doing is phenomenal. Going above and beyond to help these people.

The people that live there are rich. They don't need money. This is for her. She should have put that attention and money to people who actually need it.

“...working intimately, immediately and directly with city officials...”

Something to tell us?

Ambulance chaser

Exactly what r6 said.

$500 cash cards and necessities kits to these particular displaced individuals is really rather ridiculous.

This is clearly an attention grab and what she sees as a PR opportunity. Bad look.

I don’t know…I was way more impressed by her Puerto Rico relief…these are all homeowners with insurance. She’s basically making noise…making connections between city officials and local housing resources…asking her followers to shame retailers into donating furniture. The biggest obstacles survivors have now are short-term bureaucratic issues…eg “all my ID cards and credit cards were in the apartment so how do I drive and get cash?” and long term mental health issues. So, yes, what she is doing is something, but it’s shallow. I’m sure everything she herself has done has taken her all of 90 minutes.

You bitches are being unnecessarily cunty. What are any of YOU doing to help these people?

They're rich. They're fine.

Wait...what? Are these people really rich? Because I thought it was a cheap condo that housed many underprivileged Latinos.

They're not rich, and she is doing a wonderful thing. A real mitzvah!

She's getting ready to return to RHONY

this emaciated broad will do anything for publicity.

[quote]"Our warehouse happens to be in Miami - I mean we help all over the world including Australia and we've been all over the world - but this is where we can help the most because our warehouse is in Miami and it's a Costco-sized warehouse filled with aid: medical, pets, babies, you name it, lumbar, all of it,

Her warehouse stocks pets and babies? And lumbar, as in lower spinal vertebrae? Ghoulish.

[quote] I thought it was a cheap condo that housed many underprivileged Latinos.

Lol. Miami Cubans “underprivileged Latinos.”

I heard her warehouse also stores Botox by the palette.

Yes, many underprivileged Latinos live in beachfront condos.

[quote]They're rich. They're fine.

I live in Miami (not on the beach) and this incident has not come up once in my conversations with people in the last 3 days.

The people with condos in that building are very rich.

R21 I'm intrigued. No mention? Why do you think that is so?

I wondered who didn't bother getting repairs made after the 2018 inspection highlighted all the safety issues with the building.

10 years ago I lived in a building @ 6770 Indian Creek (Collins Ave). People were mostly working-class regular people...that applies to this building as well.

On no planet was this a building full of "working class regular people" R25

Is she pretending to be an expert on condominium collapse and disaster relief? I find her really annoying.

The building was full of rich South Americans and rich Orthodox Jews.

I'm going to also give them some of my Skinny Girl Margarita mix!

BStrong = BS

r23 I think its for all the reasons mentioned, people in beach side condos obviously live pretty comfortable lives. I think the general population feels terrible, but these victims and their surviving families have tons of resources available.

We've had an extremely violent summer so far with gun violence in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Mayor Cava has been on TV practically every week because of mass shootings. People discuss this all the time, Im guessing because your chances of getting shot and killed randomly are way greater than having the misfortune of your home collapsing around you.

Also Miami/South Florida is full of transient people who don't even live here all the time. Its difficult to feel a true sense of community. I think that's why the Jewish population has converged on this event so people can feel like someone is doing something.

r31 Thanks. Valuable insight from someone who is actually there.

Can I share your post over at our little thread linked below? Far better, would you be willing to post this over there? We are starved for genuine insight and not just conjecture on these dynamics.

Done r32!

I looked at some of the dead people’s information. Many of them don’t seem that rich. Some retirees, a nanny, a family who came to America to get the vaccine...

R34 In that case they truly have no use for gift cards.

[quote]a nanny

[quote]Some retirees

heading a ring of insurance fraud

Bethenny does do some incredible things like her work for Puerto Rico (while Trump did nothing). But she is absolutely a narcissistic egomaniac. Just look at how she conducted her own talk show (which iwas a terrible idea and never should have happened in the first place).

She's very good at this but I agree, these aren't people in need.

Puerto Rico is still struggling. Why not keep an ongoing relief effort there until things are genuinely improved?

[quote] Many of them don’t seem that rich. Some retirees, a nanny, a family who came to America to get the vaccine...

That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. A family who had enough money that they could go to ANOTHER COUNTRY to jump the vaccine que

STFU “bad look”. What are you doing for anyone ever. Shut ur trap.

I’d like think JUST THINK she is try to do this to help her own… rather than for attention. Just this once!

Is Bethenny Frankel distributing this money equitably between the Methodists, Presbyterians and other denominations harmed in this calamity?

Are they filming ?

R43 And the Seventh Day Adventists!

I love that one of Bs poodles started this thread she's getting her ass rightfully handed to her.

She fucked up making her pledge Jewish-centric too, and should have known better given she's supposedly so Miami savvy.

If what she’s doing is PR motivated then shame on her. If these people are extremely well off and have other means to survive comfortably then I’m appalled and sickened by this behaviour.

Goes to show that people who actually need help will never matter in this world.

It’s also hateful in some way if you ask me..

It is r47 Her elitism is showing.

I sent people there. I sent a whole crew to the site and we’re sending another 125 there today. They said it was terrible, all the bodies….bodies like they’ve never seen before, in all kinds of shapes. My friend Bebe — he loves me by the way. Really loves me — is sending in people from Israel who will help them out because he’s very concerned. He called me and asked if I could see anything from Maralago and I said, “Bebe,” I said, “it’s a tremendous tragedy and Governor Sedantis is keeping me updated every minute on all of it.” And Bebe said, “Thank you Mr President, I’ll be sending a crew to help out because I respect you so much. He really does respect me. And I said, “Shellac shalom, Bebe.”

But I’m telling you, nobody has ever seen anything like this here. I have experience of course. I have experience with 9/11 when I sent my imaginary construction people down there. So they’re asking me quite a bit about my knowledge & experience they’re saying “Mr President, help us. We wish they hadn’t stolen the election from you. We wish there wasn’t tremendous voter fraud, and stealing, and all that. We wish you could be more open about your help,” and I said “Don’t worry, the right people know what’s going on, you know what I mean? The losers & haters have no idea how hard we are working here.”

JFC r49 For a bit there I thought you were doing Bethenny, and I was like wow, that's pretty spot on.

R49 [italic]bodies like they’ve never seen before, in all kinds of shapes.[/italic]

Oh B, I can sympathize: I’ve seen those shapes of bodies before…In the 1990s, while I was waiting for a town car on Lexington Avenue, I glanced into the window of a Curves for Women. It was harrowing.

[quote]Don’t be like that. She’s doing an incredible thing for people in need during a tragedy.

An incredible thing would be just donating shit herself. "Not if people other than myself pay we can help."

It's like a grocery store asking you to buy stuff for other people instead of taking say, whatever is going to expire in a few months off the shelf and just giving it away because it will just get tossed anyway.

She just doesn't seem like an authentic person.

R52, she was raised by abusive narcissists and became one herself.

lol "lumbar"

Gurl the CNN producers have to keep pulling Bethenny out Wolf Blitzer's camera shot

What R11 said.

The immediate aftermath of a tragedy is not the time to judge the victims or someone trying to help.

The sweet little bunk beds in the photo. Words fail.

Frankelstein is making a PR play. She knows Jews like to be buried quickly and that they prefer rocks on their grave versus flowers.

Nothing to see or do here Bethenny.

Bethenny is such a soulless whore. I’d be surprised if her daughter turns out normal

Have any of you judging the victim's supposed resources and money, have you ever lived in that part of Miami beach? It is a place to live for people that live and work in Miami. Go to the local Publix and you will see regular people, leading regular lives. You're all a bunch of cunts for being so awful.

Regular people, leading regular lives in millionaire towers.

R61 it’s a good thing we’ve been at our 4th house this week. I hope Iris is okay!

Hey, leave Beth alone. She's discounting her Skinny Girl by ten percent for the first responders.

Condo tenant relatives get twenty-five percent, because well, you know.

Bethenny is a bad bitch. I've written at some length about her before. She's polarizing as fuck and very hard to fit into a political pocket - but she's never going away and she's best on the ground running or scrapping. She doesn't set up bogus foundations but neither does she do all the work or take all credit for herself. But without her - none of this would ever happen. She's a 100 percent control freak organizer and cut to the chase woman. No detail escapes her and she does most of her work in her pajamas. Smart as a whip but not particularly nice. She gets shit done. She's funny and not afraid to offend or go rogue. Not too many famous people around like her anymore. I likes her as we say in my homeland.

Yes, the downtrodden and penniless shul of BAL HARBOUR.

She did a lot of good at the beginning of the pandemic last year, getting PPE for hospitals when it’s at was in short supply.

Elton John is releasing a reworking of his song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" accompanied by Ricky Martin, Gloria Estefan, Vanilla Ice and Pitbull: "Goodbye, Miami Condos". All proceeds go into their checking accounts.

The irritating type a personality is suited for this. Her org came through with direct outreach for Puerto Rico while the Pres showed up to toss paper towels at citizens who were without running water and electricity.

Has Melania visited the site to render comfort?

I believe the condo was built in 1981, so these are not going to be million dollar and up condos - the rich and somewhat rich aren’t moving into 70s style condos. I haven’t looked at the list yet but I’m guessing it was a lot of elderly Jewish middle class residents on a fixed income.

[quote] An incredible thing would be just donating shit herself. "Not if people other than myself pay we can help."

Exactly!

It’s a struggle to take anything seriously from someone who spells their name as “Bethenny”.

I know that it’s not her fault - blame her parents, but FFS, “Bethenny”?

Weren't these condos recently selling for a lot of money? This are rich Jews, Italians and well connected South Americans. If they want gift cards make sure they aren't from Walmart or Target.

And Pretty Poison is rereleasing their hit with all proceeds going to buy more Skinny Girl.
