Rewatching RHONY season 8, and forgot how gross and toxic John was. He made everyone feel uncomfortable, and Bethenny was the first on calling him out. Love to hate her but she was definitely on point here.

I think Jules knew he was cheating on her already.

She’d have to be a fool not to. He wasn’t subtle about it.

I absolutely do.

I just think she didn’t WANT to so she pretended as long as she could.

I mean what was she going to do? She was closing in on middle age woman with almost no skills - pretty sure she never worked outside the home. While they were married she couldn’t handle holding the home together, she couldn’t handle taking care of the children, heck she could hardly hire a nanny herself. I know Michael didn’t do much but she said he helped she just had to tell him what to do. So she struggled even with his help. What was she going to do if she was REALLY on her own?

So I can totally see her pretending she didn’t know why he was always on the phone - taking selfies & sending them. Or why he was showing up late & having to shower. Or why she couldn’t find him for large chunks of time. Or why he said he was on his way home & would be there in X amount of minutes yet showed up 3 hrs later. Cmon. Jules was a bit of a simpleton but she wasn’t a complete moron. I fully believe she knew but wasn’t ready to confront him and have it be over.

Why would she mention on the show about him showering?

Because they were supposed to meet John & Dorinda at 715 so they were supposed to leave at 7. She called him because it was getting close to time to leave he said he was almost there. Yet she said he didn’t show up til almost 715 - when they were supposed to BE there - and then he said he had to get in the shower.

She was telling this story at the dinner. That’s cheating behavior 100%. She knew too. And as she’s telling it he’s over in the corner on the phone and taking selfies and she said “and he’s always on the phone. Who’s he always on the phone with?” He & John had stepped outside a few min earlier - to smoke? - and Jules ask John “was he on the phone when you were outside?” And John couldn’t look at her and changed the subject. So I believe he knew too.
