Well, you're talking about her. You're thinking about her, and giving her attention. So you might as well learn how to spell her name. |
Oh, PLEASE. I am actually not a big Bethenny fan anymore. I used to like her very much, but after the Jill stuff and her divorce, I haven't liked her since she came back onto the show. But seriously, name a Housewife who has as much widespread fame and recognition. I think you can make an argument for NeNe Leakes, who has been on Broadway and on real network television. But that's probably it. And there's no way more non-Housewives watchers know who she is vs. Bethenny. Bethenny had her own talk show, has been covered widely in both mainstream and business press, has several NYT bestsellers under her belt, and has a strong product line. She was on "Skating with the Stars" and has made appearances on numerous other talk and TV shows. You don't have to like her, fine, but seriously--name a more generallly popular and recognizable Housewife. And--I'm about to blow your mind--you know she didn't choose her name, or the spelling of her name, right? You do get that, yes? Pretty sure her mother and/or father is responsible with that. |
They are all crazy in their own way and I feel the show kind of curses them, friendships and often marriages. Wonder if they ever feel it's just not worth it? You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to put my life out there like that. |
And you're talking to one PP who is not the PP who misspelled her name. ![]() |
Not the PP, but you seem just a tad too invested in someone you don't even know. Who cares? She's a loudmouth who talks over everyone else, without an ounce of sensitivity or grace. I've never watched any RH show other than BH, but I know who she is - only because she's been on RHOBH several times and is incredibly obnoxious. |
+1 I always wonder what their kids and extended families think of them for doing these shows. |
I'll take your word for these things. I like her/enjoy her on the show but I don't see her on any other show than RHW, haven't read her books and I get my gossip on this site/don't read mags or stuff online- so I literally don't see her name in print anywhere enough to commit the spelling to memory. If I'd never heard the name before I'd spell it the way I first saw it and would probably get it right. I have seen "Bethany" as in beach for years so it doesn't occur to me to spell it differently/doesn't occur to me that someone (other than her) would care. If she was a real life friend/coworker and I was dealing with her name a lot I'd get it right. Again, I have a name people get wrong a lot, even when it is in my signature and is also my email address. It's a litmus test for an idiot, at that level. *shrug* And I might be about to blow your mind- I would have spelled it Nene. I saw your spelling and googled it and realized it's in fact NeNe. It's great you care about these things. I hope you are rewarded for your attention to detail in life. And I'm not joking or trying to be condescending. I should hire you to help advocate for the spelling of my name. |
Agree, her sharp features looked good with it short, instead of witchy, the way it looks when it is long. Also looked a lot less slimy/had more body, and was less aging. |
I just find it odd that viewers/fans can't spell their names when their names are shown in the titles and in the show itself when they make their first appearance every week. Every week! |
NP. This is what I find odd as well. Their names are shown on the show regularly. Although I have a name that has two common spellings and people will email me and see 1) my name spelled correction in their inbox 2) an email from me with my name signed and spelled correctly...and they will still go on to misspell my name. I guess some people really aren't paying attention. |
I’m 44 years old and my parents gave me a creative spelling and I have family on both sides that still spell my name wrong. It’s just the curse of having your name spelled differently. That’s why all of my kids have the standard/most common spelling of their name. |
This wouldn't matter to me because I DVR everything and haven't seen the openings to any of my shows in YEARS. |
+1. I watch RHOBH and RHONY regularly, but I don't follow the Housewives in tabloids or in any other shows, etc. But I know LuAnn is LuAnn, and Erika is Erika. Why? Because the show literally spells it out for me every week. |
This discussion has been fascinating, ladies but can we get get back to complaining about these women per normal. I mean if the Dorit superfan was spelling her name incorrectly until recently when someone called her out on it, what hope is there for the rest of us? |
I think the earrings are from Ken and Dorit made a joke about borrowing them and was upset because Lisa responded she would have let her borrow them a week ago but not now . . . |
