I think Carole’s take on the show is I’m above all this and all of you and I’m just dipping into this to have the experience and I’m going to observe and stay above the fray. Because really I’m a journalist/author/serious person, not a reality tv star. Let me remind you 100 times about how I used to have real jobs. A long, long time ago.

I thought she was refreshing in the beginning. Now I’m over her. She completely lacks self-awareness.

+1. Agreed.

I’m the PP who asked if this is her true self and I agree with this assessment. And she stopped working for ABC ~15 years ago. She is no longer a journalist

The thing I find odd is how angry Carole is getting about things Bethany said that are basically true.

You are pals with Tinsley.
You have a history of glomming onto one friend.
You are high maintenance.
You don’t have a career.
Bethenny realizes she doesn’t have much in common with you.

I get it Carole doesn’t want to hear these things. But are they so far off the mark?

Agree she didn’t say anything untrue. But I think it’s just that they were BFFs for so long and she didn’t expect Bethenny to turn on her.

I get it. So say your feelings are hurt and Bethany is a bad friend. But instead Carole vehemently denies all of the above!!! Call a spade a spade lady.

She's also a novelist. "What Remains" is phenomenal. I didn't read "Widow's Guide," but it was relatively recent. Isn't it pretty typical for writers to publish books at a slow pace?

Plus, what's been on her resume is very impressive. And she's very wealthy. Why can't she do as she pleases? Why can't she do projects that interest her as they come up, and enjoy her life?

It's not just what you say, it's how you said it. She said those things in that way to hurt Carole and put her down.

Mission accomplished.

The widow book was 2013.

Of course it’s fine to be wealthy and not work and enjoy life. But then it’s strange to be angry when one of your friends mentions that you don’t work and live a relative life of leisure.

She can do whatever she wants. But her journalism career was a long time ago. For a lack of expression, her work experience is no longer relevant. It's like high school football player who keeps talking about his glory days.

Now she's a reality tv star like the rest of them.

She said those things as the explanation as to why she didn't bring Carole to PR and why they were growing apart on a TV show where she is being asked to explain herself on camera. And she said them very matter-of-factly. And they're all true. In an ideal world, I suppose she should have said all this stuff to Carole's face straight away. But she didn't and again it's a TV show. In real life, it would have been a normal cooling off in a friendship. However, Carole gets to see it all on TV months later. Which I'm sure sucks and feels bad.

However, the stuff Carole has said as the show is airing in her blogs and tweets is personal and genuinely hateful and 10x meaner than anything Bethenny has said.

She basically did say it to Carole's face, at that dinner.

This was my feeling as well!
She took Bettheny down, and I was trying to figure out why? Was it what Bettheny said about Adam? Carole went after Bettheny with a dagger, and aside from Bettheny usually bitchiness, she didn't do anything g to cause it. I do think she was really hurt that she wasn't brought to Puerto Rico. Maybe she's feeling insecure about her career. Despite what Carole said, Bettheny is having a rock start career.
