On the Defense

Bethenny shares her reaction to part one of the outrageous reunion.

May 13, 2009

 

Well, the dirty laundry was aired at part 1 of the pit viper,  jugular vein-snapping reunion. I know my laundry was aired because my short dress wasn't holding up on that couch, and in the classiest of fashions, my underwear was showing like the tragic washed up Britney I never want to be. That's why I kept fidgeting and the origin of the shimmy-off that ensued with Ramona. Evidently she thought we were in the Wild West, and she wanted to one up me with her dress shimmy. Seriously, what a moron in her Christmas tree ornament of a dress.

Seriously, what a moron in her Christmas tree ornament of a dress.

She really came unglued. Gotta love Ramona. Like gravity, she always gets there.

LuAnn looked gorgeous and held her own, and truth be told, we let her off easy. She got beaten up pretty well this season, so we took it easy on her at the reunion. She's still the countess, we're happy to let her keep her title, and for God sake's what else would I make fun of if she lost her crown. She was well spoken, and she was on the defense with Ramona's rants.

Bethenny, I think you are great! You can read Jill like a book. I think you responded well to Jill at the reunion. I pray that God will bless your marriage.

You are my fav Bethenny! Please be careful with Jill, make her gravel. It cannot be all about her and all on her time. She cannot continue to throw baby tantrums and then expect people to tuen a blind eye when she is ready. Congrats on the new family!

Bethenny, first of congrats to you and Jason and your bundle of joy! I just wanted to say your empowerment and wit are inspiring to me. You handled yourself on the show with class, dignity, and respect. Any thoughts about writing a book of attaining empowerment for women??? I love when you speak your mind and how you communicate! U are just fabulous! Lots of love on your new adventures!

Why was it necessary for you to use the word "retarded" (it was bleeped from the show) in your show last night? I am a huge fan and and feel very disappointed ~

I do think you are smart and like your dry sense of humor--some say it's mean, but hey you're all pretty mean, except for Alex.

I have only watched sporadically intil this past season. It was my best option considering that that I'd already seen all the cooking shows I
like.

After watching all the venom and jealousy spewed, I have to laugh. It does make for good ratings, and gives you all the attention you ALL so obviously crave. After the news of you're pregnancy "broke," you were mortified and hurt. C'mon, it does get you in the papers, right? Poor Jason and his mommy have to see it all smeared all over the press. I have to wonder what kind of man wants his private life broadcasted for all to see. And now you have your own show. I'm trying to figure out what you're show will be about. The other women are fodder for you. I guess it gives your watchers entertainment. B, "love love love--you are the best--I admire you, blah blah" I do t admire anyone that let's their private lives be shown for all to see. But hey, it's good money, right?

Bethanny,YOU are my favorite..your real, straight forward,honest..I just appreciate you..Kelly definitly has a problem with you, she kept staring at you..I think you intimadate her, no fault of your..she's outta her league.
Stay you..your the best, most REAL on the show!!!
Sincerely, debi

Bethenny Frankel-"insert married name here" you better work!!! You crack me up, ALWAYS. I love your sense of humor and your blunt way of speaking. It may be well received, but it's always the truth and that has to be respected.

Finally the rest of the cast gets to see that kook Kelly for what she really is. So no one SHE knows heard of you, so you're not a chef. As you mentioned in one of the episodes, "there's no way that effing broad went to Columbia."

Continue being you and congrats on everything, your new life, family and all the success intended for you. And by the way, we all know you DID NOT argue with kooky kelly about having a one night stand. She made up the story as she went along. It's ok. You're Bethenny.

I feel for you and let me tell you. Something like this happen to me with a friend just like Jill (mean girl) let it go you will feel better and have a better life. She is not a good person and you do not need her in your life. Alex is a way better friend than Jill ever was.

Jill needs to grow . Bethany should not have to be at her side every minute of every day. Jill has a husband for that. Apparently she knew how to rely on him to wish Bethany well on her engagement. Bethany begged Jill to talk to her and she would not,but when Jill tried to be graceful and speak to Bethany she expected Bethany to open her with open arms. Bethany I would be careful of Jill she is self centered and cold.I hope you two can become civil to one another but it should be a two way street and not Jill Ave One Way.

You guys argue too much! I use to enjoy the show when there was a story line. Now it's drama every week. If you guys are fighting just to get ratings, well you lost me.
Having friends should never be this taxing!

Bethenny
Congratulatins on all your success, the hubby, baby and your business. You are my favorite housewife but I can't help but think you had a short fuse this season. I think you were wrong for not seeing Bobby in person when he was sick. Sending flowers was not enought for a friend. That being said I trust that there is more to the fight with Jill then we see. I just hope you guys patch things up even though I think Jill was wrong.

B when you put on your black girl additude it is so funny

"no he di ent" I am a black woman and I think its cute
not offened

love ya

ok....girl I'm back and forth with you. I love you I hate the way you are...but seriously this season I'm really hating Jill...what a biotch man. You two used to be my favorite girls on but now she's totally acting like a low class boitch. Ok with that out of the way. I agree with the writer that said run girl cuz you don't need all this drama in your life. I do wanna keep watching you though.....gosh I wish Bravo would give you your own show. I still can't stand Kelley...good bit of advice girl. Stay away from her....she's meant to hang out with Jill and the Countless one...they're made for eachoter. Do not re-hash or revisit anything with her. Airhead will never get it that she was wrong and if she wasn't than what she said came out wrong. Girl I started to not like you cuz of the way you are, but at least you're the same to a person's face as you are to their back. I think Ramona is the best fit for you but you can't take this b*tch serious either, she's such a loose canon. Girl just run from these bunch of fakes. Andy if you're reading...get this girl her own show away from this negative nancy backstabbing girls.

I have never blogged nor have I commented on any show before. I admire and respect you as a business woman and fully believed that although you have very dry sense of humor that you never mean ill will to others. Congrats on your new and what will be a very exciting life with a new baby and a young family. I also feel compelled to say that you have been capable of hurting some of those who loved you most, i.e., Jill, and hope that you can realize that true friends can usually be counted one hand and that she was one of those. I am certainly not saying that you should ever compromise on what you can define as true friend, but by certainly common standards and from what was revealed on the show, you two were sisters born of different mothers. That is a rare and special relationhip and should not be so easily dismissed. You time is valuable, choose those who are worthy of that time and that add components to your life that you will cherish long after your children are grown and your career has taken a back seat. Remember those times spend in Jill's bed with the two of you talking and sharing good girl times because, as your life changes, you will begin to miss those times. Wishing you nothing but the best to you, Jason and your new baby -- but you will need your girlfriends, if not today, in the very near future. Take it from a mom of three and who cherishes my very dear friends who can I count on one hand. I have hundreds of acquaintances, but very few I trust with who I actually am. Congrats and best wishes always

Last season, I loved you all "equally". This season, I'm so disappointed in the other ladies of how jealous they are of you. It's really disturbing to see. Forget about Jill. You don't need friends like her. She's only married to Bobby for his money. Who travels around the country, obviously spending her husband's money when he is ill. JILL. Shes fake and jealous. She has no success story of her own.

You are smart, funny and very quick on the uptake! I'm sorry about what happened between you and Jill. Frankly, I'm surprised at how Jill has changed. Jill was wrong to let other people listen to your private conversation, and she's deluding herself that she wasn't lying when she didn't disclose that LuAnne was one of the people listening. That was rotten and very disappointing! Wishing you the best life has to offer with your new husband and best wishes on becoming a mom (soon!).

Bethenny,
Separate yourself from these toxic woman. You have it all a great man a new marriage and a beautiful baby...RUN...RUN..as fast as you can from this toxic group..Except Kelley, I really hope you guys are friends. I do like her. She needs a friend like you.

Carol aka Tarry
PS
Jason is so cute!!

I think speaking your mind is great. That way people dont have to wonder how you feel about them. on the other hand when it comes to friends you love, you should think before you speak(Jill).At a time when she needed you the most you were'nt there (Bobby). I think that's what hurt her the most. ( A friend in need is a friend indeed). She was there for you and all your issues. How bout a hug instead of giving diggs, oh by the way you threw her(jill) under the bus when you told LU Ann what jill said about her.

Hi Bethenny! I'm Agustin of Argentina, I'm 17 years old and I'm fan of Real Housewives, I watch everyday and I love,but here goes for the second season, your wedding was not seen for example.
Well, I want to say you're a beautiful person and that you are my favorite housewife. Cost me much writing this, I'm still learning English, but I hope that you can understand.
I would love to answer me, thanks.
Kisses. Agustin.

Bethenny, I am thrilled about the successes in your life! You have so much potential! The other housewives (and househusbands) could not display their jealousy in a more evident fashion. Go forward and enjoy all the blessings coming your way! Ignore the small minded people in you life! You're fabulous!

Bethenny, you are terrific. And right, why do the others seem compelled to attack you at the bar. Excuse me Countess but your good manners are a joke. The only person who thinks the Countess is well bred is the Countess. Am so happy for you and Jason. Best wishes on your marriage and much happiness with your new baby to be. Keep being Bethenny...you are the best!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Bethenny, LuAnn could be more likeable if she was not such a snob, Jill is OK when she is not out of control because things didn't go her way, Alex is OK-I think she means well, Kelly is fake and thinks she's better than anyone else and I don't care about her being on the show at all-snob. Ramona-OMG she's CRAZY and gets on my nerves. She needs a downer to calm it down a notch or 2.

Love the show- I watch ALL the Housewives shows-
I admit I'm totally hooked......

I'm glad you found someone and you're happy, but you & Jason remind me of Tamara & Simon from OC. He tells you what you should or shouldn't do or say and is embarassed by your comments. It's like you have to live the right image to make him look good.

Oh yeah, some of your 'friends' are definitely envious! Congrats on the baby!

I love love love you! You are honest if somewhat harsh and I adore the 'Jill and Bethany' connection! I truly hope the promos for this seasons show is all hype and you and Jill are not fighting (or worse she's befriended that cat Kelly!)........that would way ruin the show for me!

Bethenny - you are the reason I watch the show! You...and to see how crazy Ramona will get! You crack me up every time - and as a business woman who didn't get married until her early 40's, I could totally relate to your dating saga. I couldn't be happier for you with your new arrival and your sweetheart!

like hell i'd watch the show without you on it. keep up the good work. id like to awkwardly say, "you my girl" bc of all cities and all seasons i wait to watch you. your one-liners r those to be put in the books. and please for the love of god entertain us with some awkward kelly fights. i love watching you not know what the hell is going on and her well...i'll be nice. i look forward to watching you do your thing this season.

You are the it girl! You think so quickly on your feet, I just love it! You say some people don't gety your humor? It's awesome. You are an intelligent, well spoken, secure and beautiful woman. I still can't get the "incident" with Kelly out of my head. You handled that so well. You didn't react - you responded, YOU ended up in control in the end. Bravo! Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the new season!

What is going on with the stories that your being eased off the show and the annoying one "Kelly" is going to become Jill's new protege.That will do it for me. I know its only a television story,but that will ruin the storyline for me. It was fun watching,good luck in your future.Enjoy your little angel.I know you will be a great mommy.

OMGosh!! I saw your prego pictures, and you're gorgeous! I couldn't be happier for you. I loved being pregnant, even at 41. You will make a great mommy. God Bless you and your baby. Good luck.

"Jill was strong and honest and nit-picky and protective. She was the den mother, the queen of accountability. We are family. We can fight, but no one else try to take either of us down. This is a bond that neither bravo nor bitches can break. She got my back."

what happened? please go ack to being the best friends you were. you two tuly family and i really hope you and jill will go back to having that strong of a friendship. She would be a great auntie to your baby :)

bethanny,
You are my favorite on RHONYC. You are so real! The other ladies seem so fake. you always speak your mind and i honor and respect that. There is one thing about the ladies on RHONYC that i cannot stand and it is that damn snootiness!!! You and Alex are the only humble ones on the show. By the way congrats on the baby! I am so happy for you! guess you can really have it all! Well ttyl for now cant wait for the new season!! LOVE~~~~ samantha

Dear Bethany
You are the bomb!! Love, love, love you!!!! I can't say enough good about you....I love watching you, think you are a scream, think you are both sexy and beautiful and know that straight men are idiots cuz if I weren't gay I'd be all over you like white on rice. You and Jill are my favorite housewives. Thanks for making us laugh and cheer for you in your hilarious sparring with that bimbo Kelly. Don't let that wench rattle you at all...the only thing uglier than her on the show is the men she dates. That one dude, I think his name was Max, I was glad he was straight cuz we don't need mutts like that on our team. And Kelly needs to date someone or something.

hi bethenny,

a very big congratulations you deserve all the happiness you get, good luck with the bub and your wedding.
this is my favourite saying and thought you may like it, "a lady never forgets who she is not what she has become". stay true to yourself because you are fabulous!!!!!

xxx

love you Betheny you are only real person on the show

Bethenny - I have to say that you are the greatest! I think I am a pretty objective observer and although I didn't watch the show on TV, I got it on DVD and watched many episodes all at once. I love your wit and I think YOU actually conduct yourself with grace and dignity vs. another unnamed person who is a complete fraud. "everyone" is "a very good friend" of this person's and really, I think you have more of a handle on what a "good friend" really is as you are that to many people.

keep doing what you are doing and best of luck.

debbie

Bethenny I'm so happy for you, a wonderful fiance, pregnant and a hell of a ring. You go girl. You waited long but you didn't go wrong. Your old boy friends missed a heck of a girl. Best of luck

You are my favorite.. Ijust love you, I think you have handled yourself with complete respect when it comes to Kelly...I wish you only goodness

Bethenny love ur name i watched the show for the first time and i would have to say there is a lot of drama with u ladies , but out of all of u you are truely the most perfesional , i dont think u act like a spolt bratt the rest do , ur not married and mybe thats why , but i think u deserve to be spolt you look great and keep ur composure about ur self , u have truely got it going on

bryan

Bethenny, My sincere sympathy over the loss of your father. I saw him at Saratoga and he was kind enough to pose for a picture for me. Not the "hard ass" some think he was. Only hope you and him got to reunite and bury hard feelings before he passed.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Best wishes to you in the future.

Sorry to hear about your father.

Bethenny,

Just want to say congrats to you on your pregnancy and engagement! I'm so happy for you girl! You are my absolute favorite on the show. You're hilarious and beautiful! Your fiance is one lucky guy!! The best to the both of you and may you have a loving and blessed life with many years of happiness, love, and health!!

Mrs. A.

Bethenny, you're great, very fabulous and full of humor.
Every girl you're the most charming. Love!
Oh, Jill is also my favorite, you seem sisters.
Kisses

this show it s fun and thinking Bethenny it a god friend and Jill to! i am from Paraguay, kisses bye.

I'm just adding to the chorus - but Bethenny you're hilarious. Someone I'd love to spend an evening giggling and gossiping with. Second season just finished in Australia so we're a bit behind....and I hear you're attached, with child, and with own show. Well done. I'm off to NY on Saturday for work so seeya there. inevitably not, but here's hoping. Enjoy what life and this show are bringing you - hope it's all good stuff. You deserve it. Mads

Betheny you rock girl !!!! you are the best in the show, classy, funny, real .... and the list goes on.

greetings from México

Boy, that was fast work (or so it seems)... The first season, you were about to be married to the short, bald Jason. The second season, you were alone. Over this summer you found love with a taller, handsome Jason and have a baby on the way. You definitely know what you want and make it happen. That's empowerment. Good for you! I am very surprised and disappointed to read that you will not be back to RHNYC for S-3. Your Greek chorus bon mots about the sleazoids made for much comic relief. (What a bummer!) You will be greatly missed. I'm not sure it will be watchable without your zingers.

Catherine from Seattle

Bethany, I love, love, love you, I always have, you have always been my favorite. I just wanted to say congratulations on the new baby on the way, good for you, as I am so happy for you. You are a breath of fresh air.

Take care of yourself and that new baby that's on the way.

Congrats to you! You have waited a long time to find love and I'm very happy for you. You both deserve happiness. All the best.
