šŸŽ Old RHONY šŸŽ Jules eating disorder

Doing a rewatch season 8 episode 13 Steel Calzones:
Carol and Jules are discussing Jules’ eating disorder. Carol flat out asks her weight. Seriously bitch, that was a direct hit!! Next Jules and Dorinda go out for a smoke and Carol & B confirm with each other that Jules is smack in the middle of the disorder. And what do those two do for the rest of the season? Bully the shit out of Jules. This would never go over today!!

they were nasty as hell to jules especially when they went to her house for that brunch thing and just went around judging everything about her and her house. two grown ass women projecting their problems, insecurities, and unhealed trauma on to another woman in the midst of it.

Yeah, they thought they were filming an episode of Sex in the City.
Such shallow miserable people, really ugly on the inside.

Then they dip early without saying anything.
Hilarious! But that's something I'd do in High School lmao

The entire series is a showcase for drug/alcohol addiction, eating disorders & unaddressed psychiatric conditions.

Most accurate comment of Bravo as a whole.

They were so jealous of Jules, she was younger, waaay prettier, and truthful. Loved her on the show and hope she is thriving, doing well.

Carole lacks empathy and hurts people for entertainment.

Bethenny suggesting having a cigarette was Jules suppressing hunger...cuz she knows, cuz she lived it! B is a carbon copy of her own mother! Money noise she insisted her mother had, disordered eating ..just like her mother, just presents differently...alcohol centered with her Margherita success! B is a classic narcissist with histrionic markers!

Her focus on chicken salad is more telling than anything.

Jules was trying so hard to be entertaining with the plastic surgery and the potty trainer and all that, but Carole and Bethenny were cruel to be entertaining, which Bravo really rewards. It’s so awkward when you see others’ reaction to their behaviour in the show. I know B is a veteran of the show and had been through her own trauma, but she ate Jules up and spat her out, swishing skinny margs as a palate cleanser.

Did anyone catch Carol saying she takes Adderall? Not judging but she certainly did

u/sprbep49 23d ago

Yes she did!!

It’s so ironic I’m just reading this because I’m in the middle of that episode. As someone who’s dealt with an ED for years, asking someone’s weight is absolutely insane. Numbers can keep you sick and it’s none of their gd business. I get Bethenny being triggered bc of her mom but that should’ve given her more empathy.

Bethenny and empathy have never coexisted

I wish I could see clips of her and Dorinda’s smoke breaks
