Spot on. |
Carole is obnoxious, and I find her clothing choices beyond ridiculous, but when it comes to this carole/bethany bullshit, I am #teamCarole all the way. Bethany cannot stand to live without conflict. She created this conflict all on her own. She's stressed out about the restraining order expiring? DON'T GO ON THE TRIP!!!!! Isn't she still an exec. producer and Andy Cohen's bae? She goes so she can be a bitch, create conflict, and then cry and self-induce a panic attack to get more attention. There's a reason Carole is turned off by her crying, and it's because even though she used to be her close friend, she probably hates her toxicity and wants nothing to do with her or her crocodile tears anymore. Same, carole. Same. |
I wonder if B does the show for the free advertising for Skinny Girl. |
I think skinnygirl is over. She sold the only successful part of the brand right off the bat (good decision) and was never able to elevate any of her other branded products to any comparable level of success. The only time I see skinnygirl stuff is at the clearance isle at marshels. |
I was confused about the fish allergy situation with Bethenny. It's not funny or something to jack with- it can be life or death- even if previous reactions were arrested with Benadryl, that can change in an instant. So why DIDN'T she ask about all food to be sure there was no fish? And why haven't we ever heard her check food safety before around this issue- all these years, you would think it had been mentioned in passing as they ordered at multiple venues.
Anyway, having an immune response like this can bring on the emotional lability and explain some of the over the top emotions/panic attack etc in addition to all the restraining order/custody drama. I do feel it was beyond rude to mention the dirtiness of the home- even if it was true- why say it, especially on camera, especially to a sh!t stirrer like Dorinda. Not nice to Tinsley. Carole just looks like a high school girl not hearing or wanting to believe that that red scarf guy was into anyone who was interested. Bet she feels like a dumbass now that the episode aired. I was over Ramona's whole wheelchair thing and miraculous recovery. |
It came up during her first Berkshires trip, when Dorinda had a sushi chef. That's what started her fight with Heather; Heather was trying to "tend to her" too much/offer her a meatball/find her something else to eat. Bethenny probably thought they should have remembered that. Well, anyway, Bethenny, if you have a serious allergy, don't go eating soup in a foreign country without at least asking what's in it. |
Ding, ding, ding! I feel bad for Betheny, but there's a pattern here. She feels rejected by Carole, and so she's going to take every opportunity to try to make her feel bad. Obviously Carole was tickled to get some male attention after her break up, but Betheny had to go and s*** on it, to take her down a peg, not because she was really trying to warn her off Mr. Red Scarf. It is like High School, but Betheny is the one playing childish games. Carole is over it. I would be, too. I don't have space in my life for "friends" who see me as competition. |
I agree with a lot of this but...coming off of TOM in the mix, for God's sake, how does Carole not see this guy coming a million miles away? Bethenny's already frustrated at Carole for being rather blind about Adam, probably. It IS frustrating that coming off of Adam and with the spectre of Tom lurking about, that a grown-ass woman as worldly as Carole portrays herself to be doesn't see Red Scarf for the operator that he is. |
Her fish allergy came up at a dinner party at the Berkshires and caused an argument between Heather and Bethenny, who ended up in tears (hmm, I'm sensing a theme here). |
I thought she did ask and Ramona told her it was chicken? Carole looks kind of sad and desperate for male attention with this speed dating guy, which she never did before, even with Adam. But she's spending a lot of time with Tinsley, and you become what you surround yourself with ... |
I thought she asked Ramona about the main dish. |
Here is my lowdown of this cast of characters-
Bethanny intense, wounded but bright and has a good heart Carole the biggest joke of them all, looks 60 and haggrered trying to look 20 and has the most clown like outfits thinking she is "high fashion" my sister was behind her in line at a coffee shop in NY and said she looks even worse in person Dorinda used to like her now she is a total pot stirrer and an ugly drunk Ramona, what can you say...she is Ramona. To know her is to love (and accept her) and her quirks, etc... Sonja, love her, think she has a huge heart, very giving and kind Luann fingers crossed for her as she navigates what is obviously a diffulct time, will leave it at that My takeaway, this is a toxic bunch and I have somewhat lost interest but when I need to be reminded of why it's nice to have grounded friends, I tune in haha |
Oh and Tinsley, adorable, harmless, fun and good hearted |
Carole said she didn't get to talk to red scarf because the other 2 women were all over him, yet she believes he was interested in her? How? He never even spoke to her or seemed to attempt to do so. Also B saying she and red scarf weren't friends, yet she warmly welcomes him to the speed dating and also said they went out once. Fine, so how do you characterize that? She just HAS to have the last word. ![]() |
It's always about the money. B's brand is worthless without the tv notoriety. If she loses that, her brand is empty with 2 or 3 years. To most of us, she should be able to bank enough now to last forever. Her level of spending probably won't allow it. She doesn't ever want to be a regular person again. For all of her fake fronting, she hates and is crappy to anyone who isn't a celebrity. She and Ramona are the same in this regard. |
