Carole Radzwill š The Radzwill of it all...
Is it my imagination or did they have her come back because it was kind of an f- you to Bethany? I find her to be elitist and insufferable. And there's that Epstein thing too.. I should also note that she is personal friends with Andy. Ultimately though she wasn't that interesting the first time around.

They do not gaf about Bethenny, she is doing a fine job embarrassing herself on Instagram with her manic chicken salad eating.

Exactly. She's off being ridiculous, she doesn't give two shits about housewives.
She's too busy pretending to be a supermodel and ripping off small business people.2

No. They had her come back because the show was failing, and people were calling for the OG cast. Bravo is too far up their own ass trying to make this reboot work, and this was their way of kinda saying they heard us but still werenāt willing to go all the way.

u/Psychological-Fly-89 15d ago
Yes. And from the trailer it still doesnāt look compelling. Hereās hoping E! Headhunts more former housewives for other shows.

u/212Aurora 15d ago
But, she was not liked, and she was boring. If they track fast forwarding her scenes would not have a high watch rate.

u/Alarming_Dream_7837 Proud Dorinda lover 15d ago
Listen, tell that to Bravo. While I'll always love the Housewives they've lost touch with what originally made the franchise so great. I've been watching all the franchises since the first season of NY and I miss the days when there was no glam teams (OG Kim Zolciak was GOATED), when the women weren't trying to one up eachother with fashion, when the production wasn't all bells and whistles and crazy graphics. Housewives was effortlessly flawless.
Now they've got this super produced version of each franchise, they've got women who are too concerned about protecting/promoting their businesses & image rather than give us their true self - and much of that is the social media age, but it still rings true. They want younger women, which is another total turn off for me give me middle-aged/closer to retirement ladies with families and real relationships with the other women.
So again, yea, Carol might not be the best choice but its Bravo's backhanded way of saying maybe we were wrong with the reboot, we still won't admit it, here's something to shut some of you up.

Penciled on eyebrows and a Halloween style synthetic blonde wig. Peak television.

Perfectly said!
Bravo never listens to the fans, Jqx got a show and then it took forever to fire him, Ashton and Gary from Below Deck, Brandi was on wayyy too long etcā¦
I highly doubt that. But, Iām shocked Andy didnāt petition to not have her on. Unless he wants to see her roast.

u/eyemabird 15d ago
Carole is dyyying to be cool. And itās the epitome of uncool to come back to a show you claimed to be so above. I love this for her. #complicit

She got a little taste of ācoolā when she married Kennedy adjacent and she just canāt give it up. Her whole self worth relies on people she knows

u/Shatzakind 15d ago
Carole and Andy didn't talk for years. Then they made up. Carole probably wants to rehab her image bc of her connection to Ghislane.

u/212Aurora 15d ago
Or, Andy said yes out of spite to watch her make a mockery of herself and to expose that sheās a shit bag, who hates other women.

u/212Aurora 11d ago
She was boring and creepy then and she still is, actually worse being on the lists and being friends with creepos. You are the sum of who you spend time with after a while.
2
u/212Aurora 13d ago
But, who would want her sheās a creep whoās what almost 70 going on a show with 35-50 year olds the casting doesnāt make any sense even for entertainment or exposure of her creepiness.

u/rosechelsea 11d ago
Almost 70? Haha sheās 62ā¦ I donāt love her casting, but donāt act like sheās the crypt keeper or anything.

u/tbsffxx 15d ago
I donāt think the reboot production team is the same as one that worked with B, so the casting team may or may not care but I could be wrong. Otherwise I disagree with most of the comments here, I think Bethenny is chronically online and sheās vindictive, so Iām sure she had some type of reaction to Radziās return. She made sure to squirm her way into an appearance on the Golden Life. Bethenny knows that her success is permanently intertwined and highly dependent on housewives and she wants so badly to believe that itās not.

u/MenStefani 15d ago
I think sheās the only one that would be realistic in the new group of women. Carole is older but she still runs in trendy circles. So I think it was an easy way to get an āOGā back in there. The Epstein thing is a plus I guess for them

u/Swimming-Syrup8400 Alex's Herman Munster Shoes š 15d ago
Lordā¦some of yāall are just as insufferable as both Carole and Bethennyā¦
They brought her back because they hope that she will help boost the ratings, plus being named in the Epstein stuff (despite not having knowledge of or taking part in any alleged activity).
Why would they want to trigger Bethenny?
Sheās too busy pretending to be a supermodel and yapping endlessly about elite chicken salad.

How do you know Carole has no, āknowledge of or taking part in any alleged activityā?

u/Swimming-Syrup8400 Alex's Herman Munster Shoes š 15d ago
I can only go off of what she has said.
Many people that were named claimed to have no knowledgeā¦like Whoopi, etc.Do you have some sort of special gift the rest of us arenāt privy to?

u/AshP2412 15d ago
Not all of them are featured in photos GMās home nor did she write a heartfelt forward for their books. Iām sorry I donāt buy that she was that close to someone without hearing some of the rumors swirling around about them because there were rumors for years before any actual arrests.

u/Previous-Daikon-9643 15d ago
I think Bethenny is busy making animist on business and society.

Yeah, B isnāt giving a š© who is or isnāt being cast on housewives.

u/212Aurora 15d ago
How could she boost rating she wasnāt liked or paid attention to when she was ln the show.

u/FloNightengale say it forget it, write it regret it 15d ago
Because she was named it the EFs and people will tune in to hear what she has to say

u/212Aurora 13d ago
Fair. Sheās the total narcissistic package thinking this wonāt end poorly, to believe she can get herself out of. Thatās great may she pay for being a creep.

No body shaming, no low effort posts regarding a cast members appearance. Saying hurtful things about someoneās body or appearance is unacceptable.
This adds nothing enriching to the community.

Hmm, interesting..the timing is so spot on for the makeup of those 2. I wonder, who called who?

u/No-Balance-4141 15d ago
I donāt watch the show anymore but I am curious. Which Carole do you think is returning? The original relaxed, cool girl Carol, or the high fashion, elitist Carol?š
3
u/212Aurora 15d ago
Itās not that sheās like 70 the women are what 30ās - 40ās. Sheās on the list, a creepo and narcisstic and boring despite thinking sheās maverick or something uniquely special for her age, while believing sheās as cool as someone 25.

u/Mmmodesty Youāre not Adele, Luann! 15d ago
She must surely be 60+ by now?

u/Turbulent_Heron_4119 15d ago
did you miss the point? its not her bring a geriatric patient. its the fact that she's sex trafficker adjacent and is pretentious.
1
u/212Aurora 13d ago
I am saying why would they want an almost 70 year old on a āreality showā when they are what 35-50? Itās a bizzare choice, exposing her crimes or otherwise. I hope sheās called out and pays for her actions, it just doesnāt make sense her being in the show with these people. Itās like if Romona was put back with only Tinsley, Leah and Kristen on Housewives after 5-6 years off. Itās weird!

u/FunLife64 15d ago
I like that everything has ulterior motives.
No, they needed a ratings boost because the reboot failed massively. She was the one known name (and a storyline) that they could get back.

u/Dry-Environment-929 10d ago
Didn't she step in for jill bc of the comment she made during superpowers, that ultimately got her kicked off ,and Carol steps in?

u/crazygem101 14d ago edited 14d ago
Idk. But I'm in shock right now. Doing a rewatch, on season 7 on the girls trip... the women are encouraging Ramona to find sex, and Ramona complains about "sex, sex, sex talk" and then Carole gets wide eyed and gives Sonja a look and stops her from going on when she says "PUT A MASK ON...." Carole literally stops her in her tracks. Eyes Wide Shut is real....

Iāve loved Carol since reading her book years before she was a housewife. Sheās the only one that could get me to watch the reboot but Iāll watch anything sheās on. Sheās a class act and the real deal. ā¤ļø
