B also creates the same drama with everyone she is close to. Maybe she is actually realizing it a bit and it is making her unhinged. She started last season to make digs at Carole and they were nasty. I wouldn't be friends with someone who started negging me like B did. Then B attacked Adam. Whether Carol was with Adam or not didn't matter. Carole was disgusted by B's attack on someone she cared about. B needs to continue with therapy because she hates and belittles anyone close to her. |
Agree, agree. It's laughable that she accused Kelly Bensimon of "collecting celebrities as friends." Bethenny was doing that even before she was on Housewives. She writes in her book about allllllll her celebrity friends and clients. I'm sure she had a friendly rapport with the celebrities she was cooking for and working in high-end events with at the time, but I hardly think they were all legitimate friend-friends. But that's how she talks about them. Then, when she got more legitimately successful and famous, it was ramped up even more. |

Is no one going to bring up Lou being sued by her ex AND her children? It sounds like Lou, in effect, stole from her kids. This is very disappointing to hear. It has been sweet seeing her son and daughter supporting her, but I guess not any more. |
I can't help but think there are some mistakes and misunderstandings here. I think she may have thought that taking the money and investing it in another property was a good idea (remember, she bought that property before she started seeing Tom; her kids clearly knew she purchased that property, as they were living there with her). Where I think things got tangled up was when she married Tom and they renovated together, and when her minor children grew up and then moved out. Anyway, the other thing I don't like about this situation is that clearly LuAnn has been the primary parent this whole time. The count just seems to breeze in and out of their lives for visits, and now he's kicking up trouble for the woman who raised his children. The whole thing is just a mess, and sad. |
All the comments that B makes about Carol may be true but they apply to herself as well. Look at B’s Instagram feed full of bikini selfies. Bethenny May be successful, charitable and witty but she is always alone and that says a lot about her. |
It was already discussed several pages back. |
First, she didn’t primarily raise the children. Her nanny did. In one interview on the street Her nanny said in nyc the nannies raise the children. The kids also mentioned something about that. Ramona also said something like that to Luann - how she was always leaving her kids. Not that Ramona’s an expert except for the fact that Luann was upset bc kids should be off limits - not bc it wasn’t true. She instead said in her interview she wants adult time (around the time her kids were upset she was going out again and she wouldn’t be eating with the kids. She instead went into the city with her niece to see a new band. Second, presumably Luann’s violation was pretty clear for the lawsuit to happen. Also presumably they (kids, the count, a lawyer) said something before the lawsuit (show that you followed the agreement and she couldn’t). Regardless, she can’t just revise what a contract requires. The count probably agreed to giving her the real estate but only to use and provided the kids for the money from the sale, in a trust for them when it sold. Unless I’m mistaken, she came out with no statement or counter suit saying she wasn’t in violation of the contract or had no obligation to do what the lawsuit claimed. |
I agree with this about Carole. She seems to find one friend a season then acts like them. |
I agreed with B that the house was meh and they could have stayed in much better accommodations. Where did all the cocaine money go? She was right! A lot goes to real estate. Fail Tinsley. |
Carole is insufferable. I read over the Instagram comments and man she is getting trashed but deserves it. She is hard to look at and her clothing choices seriously are the worst I have ever seen. Does she not have money for a stylist and an orthodontist? |
B has made more money than she will ever need. Nothing lasts forever but her ride with Skinnygirl will keep her comfortable forever. Plus she's a smart cookie, very sharp and likely will thinking up the next big thing. Carole is insanely jealous of B. So obvious. |
Carole is never running out of money either. |
True, but B's jealous of Carole right back. Money can buy you a lot, but it can't buy you Kennedy connections. You think B hasn't salivated over the photos of Carole attending black-tie events with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and doesn't listen with great interest whenever Carole mentions Mrs. Radziwill? Bethenny's books and even her novels are full of outsider-looking-in encounters with celebrities. She craves fame, but there's only a certain kind of fame that she has attained. |
NP I do not agree at all. Carole was considered by most in that clan to be a "hanger oner". She is loathed by that bunch now that she has crossed over to the dark side of reality TV but keeps that Kennedy association in her pocket to remind people that at one point she was relevant. How do I know? My sister went to school and is still very good friends with one of them. They vacation together, she was her maid of honor, etc...so yes we get a lot of the inside scoop. I think Carole comes across extremely insecure and threatened by Bethanny's admittedly "tough shell". C is trying out a new personality and to say it is not faring well is a major understatement. From her horrible and tasteless clothing choices (that only a 22 year old could get away with) to her mean girl antics right down to how she picks a friend of the month and brown noses them to no end is very off putting. She is no prize in the girlfriend or friend dept. Adam made a very wise decision in moving on. She almost looked like she could be his mother. |
