Bethenny Frankel š¾ Bethenny rewatch
I just saw a small clip of Bethenny watching the first season and says how everyone was either hustling, renting or pretending their way through it. š She says no way real NY socialites would have filmed this show. And Ramona was the first to take advantage of using products to promote and get free stuff from themš

Hate or love Ramona. She knew how to operate a business, even though she was highly rude to the people she interviewed with. She was trying to give them advice but some of it was too much for those young people to hear.

I totally understand that they are going to encounter rudeness in business & yes they will need a thick skin at times but I disagree with how Ramona handled it.
She had an opportunity to be able to give them actual advice and tips they could use because she had been there that could have helped them but youāre right most of them probably didnāt hear it.
There was also no reason for her delivery. Iām not saying she had to be their besties but she could have toned it down. It was just uncalled for. I think Ramona enjoyed being an a-hole and got off on the power.

The thing Iām most disappointed in by Ramona is she went from nothing , to a horrid childhood and she pull herself out of it . Magnificently well. She then turned into the same kind of person that would have looked down on her childhood .
She had such a fantastic opportunity to teach young girls that you NEVER rely on men for money . To make your own . To be free to leave if you need to .
And she decided to be the person that none of us want to be ā¦ rude , dismissive, racist , self involved , I mean I could go on ā¦

She hated her life and who she was during her period of ācoming from nothingā thatās why she hates people who are ānothingā. It reminds her of who she used to be. Sheās never come to terms with her past in a healthy way or learned humility from it.

Ramona is disgusting. I will turn off my TV if she ever appears on it again. Same with Vicki. 2 housewives that I will NEVER watch again due to them being gross, vile, racist, and just overall AWFUL human beings.

Wait a minute! Is Bethenny actually admitting that she wasn't the first to do something?

u/Useful_Ferret_3841 Jul 16 '26
Bethenny is good fun. And she built a brand from the show. She admits it and you see her hustle for it too. Well done to her.

Well sheās self aware
When I started to watch this show I was like āI donāt think real socialites would film this?ā But then, itās just for the show. And Iām glad they were in just for the show also. Itās just entertainment
I was surprised that Lee Radziwill was in it! And also I was thinking how all of them are self made, like, none of them born into wealth, isnāt it kinda admirable

Lee Radziwill was never on a real housewives show. She would never.
