I thought Jules anger and confrontation of Bethany was bizarre and misplaced. As Carole said, she was the one who was talking and had shared/was more of a friend to Jules yet still talked about her.
You could see Bethany's wheels turning like "what is she TALKING about? Best to just let her talk/ventilate because she is going through some STUFF". I could just imagine her oversharing her marriage stuff, then getting all weird and paranoid that Bethany would care enough to talk about it. She's going through her own shit, look at her face. She doesn't have the energy to care about you enough to talk about you, Jules! It doesn't exactly arm your "my past anorexia isn't a problem'" argument to be all "yeah, I barfed three days ago- I'm owning this and I'm fine...." jeebers... Jules reminds me of a Jerry Springer guest from back in the day "yeah I cheated on you, but this is YOUR BABY!!" |
Bethenny has been a childish bitch to Jules from day one. Criticizing her weight, that she talks about being Asian and Jewish, her house in the Hamptons, talking to her like she is stupid and on and on. I'm pretty sure Jules will be off the show because Bethenny and Carole were talking recently about who the new housewife will be. Yes I have no life. I may be done with the New York ladies because I'm really tired of Bethenny and Carole. |
Totally agree with this! |
Thing is, like or hate Bethany (sp?) she really has treated her no differently than the others... she does unintentional impressions of everyone and gives her unsolicited feedback to everyone. Maybe I didn't get offended cuz I tend to agree with her comments and recaps. I do think Bethany IRL would potentially be an annoying friend... it would wear on you... but I feel the same way about every single one of the others, esp Ramona, Sonja and Luanne... but not knowing her and being able to turn it off is just the right amount. |
Let's not forget that the camera doesn't catch everything, though what it has captured of Bethenny and Carole has been pretty atrocious when it comes to Jules. They didn't even try to hid their disdain for Jules - while they were guests in her house - so you know there were plenty of other comments made out loud, meant to hurt feelings, that they made toward Jules. That anger wasn't coming out of nowhere. I think Bethenny directed residual bitterness from her relationship with her mother to Jules. She needs a team of highly qualified therapists on retainer. But then, she wouldn't be on this show if she had that much sense. Good thing those Skinny Girl margarita's are so tasty. Not. |
True but I also think this is also how many people feel about women with eating disorders. The behavior is extremely narcissistic and it's frankly boring. The older I get the less patience I have for someone who willingly chooses to not eat or barf. You can look at jule's life and as how privledged she is and that she needs something to occupy herself with. She seems extremely focused on herself and needs to volunteer. |
Okay, you don't see the irony in your posting about another woman's disorder? |
Eating disorders aren't narcissistic. For people with eating disorders it's about control, particular when external forces are out of their control, and self-loathing. |
| Jules spent 2,000 dollars for a two day potty training expert. Is that really a thing? I am floored. |
| Agreed! So lazy and frankly embarrassing. Way to out source parenting when you don't even have a job!!! |
Floored? What a dumb word. |
She seems incapable of almost everything. She can't even handle basic parenting tasks. She can't keep her husband around. She has an eating disorder and she seems to have a hard time with friendships. She needs a reality check. |
| I'm another who is over Carole. What's her storyline? Writing a vegan cooking book with her cheffie boyfriend? The one who's only sticking around at this point to get a cookbook deal? |
I know. I think she is so mean this season because deep down she knows she is being used and is angry. She was never like that before. That or Bethenny is rubbing off on her. |
She "can't keep a husband around"? WTF, she is guilty of many of the things you said above, but she is NOT responsible for that greasy little troll of a "man" cheating on her! |
