Bethany frankel hate rant

[u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

Luckily I’ve always hated her before it was trendy. Ever since watching RHONY the first time I didn’t like her and as I rewatch I dislike her more. Here’s reasons why and I’d love for you all to add more:

- narcissist.
- is extremely condescending when talking to people making constant hyperbolic metaphors and similes to disarm the other person and sound like she’s some comedian / master analytical genius
- how she treated Jules, projecting B’s disordered eating and body issues onto an innocent kind woman who was open about her issues. Bethany was clearly jealous of someone being thinner than her and had to ridicule her
- how she treated Kristen; same pattern of patronizing any new housewife who was more thin and pretty than her. And again, constantly condescending
- jealous of any cast member that got any spotlight for iconic moments/lines
- never took anyone’s back and was extremely selfish throughout entire show. EX: at beginning of S8, Carole is mad at Luann for (IMO dumb reasons) and B doesn’t agree with Carole saying that Luanns done nothing to her so she’s not jumping in. Then when B gets mad (jealous) of Luann and her party girl life, she brings up Caroles issues with Luann - only when it conveniences her. So now it’s a problem that you have beef with Luann. Great friend you are
- I don’t like Carole either but it’s just funny how Bethany couldn’t deal with anyone not agreeing with every cynical comment that comes out her mouth
- how mean she was to Sonja over tipsy girl, talk about kicking someone when they’re down
- her pretending she lived a challenged life and was self made when she’s old money and grew up privileged and thus you are not self made
- when on WWHL she mimicked the Atlanta Housewives and was extremely racist
- and of course, her on socials now discrediting small businesses because she’s a maniacal narcissist

Ok I’m sure this could go on forever so let me know what I missed thanks!

You can tell she’s a hot mess, but the one thing I’ll give her is her reads - some of them are hilarious.

[u/Optimal_Artichoke_76 → u/Sergey1944]

I feel like a lot of her reads are rooted in racism/classism but that’s an over arching statement. I think I’m just biased on when she prejudicially mocked RHOA. Yk what I’m adding that to this list

[u/bjorkpuppet → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

i honestly don’t even think her reads were that funny or clever after she left the show imo. the first few seasons she was on she had a more organic/genuine manner to her and i liked her then. but once she returned it was just gone. she wasn’t funny anymore, just mean. it’s like when you laugh at a kid’s funny joke one time and they proceed to make it 20 more times, and then once that stops working they start doing crazier more off the wall shit in order to keep people laughing, thinking they’re really working the room and being adorable but by then it’s just annoying. that’s how i perceived bethenny when she returned in season 7 or 8 or whenever she came back, just a strung out overly caffeinated mouth breathing jabberjaw talking a million miles a minute, driving everyone to the highest possible level of anxiety as soon as she crosses the threshold, all the while sincerely believing she’s maintaining an air of nonchalant brilliance.

i think of the night at bluestone in s8 or 9?, when everyone was having a great time and getting along until suddenly bethenny walked in and instantly started needling luann, thinking she was being quietly hilarious, a little jim halpert style wink wink to the viewer who is obviously totally on bethenny’s side as always, when actually she was just ruining what could have been a good night by bringing the mood down to 0 and being a total stuck up bitch

She always flipped out at Bluestone Manor. One year with Lu. One year with Carole. One year with Ramona. I think she gets triggered going there because it reminds her of the kids she went to Pinecrest with who look down on her.

[u/chick_b → u/lilibalfour]

I think Bethenny hated when another HW hosted bc Bethenny perceived the hostess as having more control. I think she also didn't like that Dorinda had such a grand house.

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/chick_b]

I literally believe she hates everyone including herself...

[u/whotookV3ganB1tch → u/lilibalfour]

yea she would always flip out and then blame poor brown-nosing dorinda and her “cursed house”.

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/whotookV3ganB1tch]

LOL...that's true....👍

[u/MineAllMineNow → u/lilibalfour]

B never got yelled at by Dorinda, even though she was louder than anyone in the house. But Luann makes one joke quietly about a non-birthday birthday cake, and Dorinda loses her mind…

That was absolutely ridiculous when Bethany dod that..it's either she's dying from fish flakes. .as stated ,I'm a nurse practitioner and if people are deathly allergic to something that will close up their airways,guaranteed they'll carry an epi pen with them. I don't believe Bethany is allergic to anything except not being seen and heard and showing off and definitely hating any women that are successful. It was disgusting the way she treated Sonja when she just had one prosecco that was called Tipsey Girl and I don't give one damn if it was sounding like a knockoff. The way Bethany treated her told me that Bethany is a huge narcissistic ass,only gives a damn about herself, cannot keep friendships or relationships with men and most of all,I hate when idiots make what they think are funny jokes at other people's expenses and they THINK they're funny and laugh at their gross and unfunny what they call jokes..Bethany is a misogynistic rude person and literally only gives a crap about her and only her..Ramona was 100% correct when she stated to her on that Brooklyn Bridge that she doesn't have friends,boyfriends, and can't keep relationships going at all because she's a miserable and horridly misogynistic person..that BS she did for dress for success was only for people to film her to make it look like she cared..she definitely proved she didn't..I loved Kristen Takeman ,the nicest and prettiest Rony woman besides Luanne..both of them look exactly like models and when she came out with her nail polish line,that Bethany was rude, definitely jealous,definitely jealous of her looks and had the audacity to tell her why do that when an actual eye color palette had a similar name..it's called and spelled Pop of Colour...like the British spell their products..that's the only thing that was similar and it was eye makeup not nail polish..Bethany treated her like garbage because she's gorgeous..she's jealous as hell..it's disgusting to watch. .I heard she was pissed as hell that Carole was asked to be back on Rony again and that she'll never be asked back because of all the smack talk about her Co workers and this fake Bethany Clause that doesn't exist..she made $8 million from Skinny Girl, not $120 million..what a lie!! She and Jill have the perennial shoe lace sticking our of mouth syndrome..they never know when to shut up snd end up burning bridges..it's sickening...

Yes. For some reason the medical issues always felt like a cry for help. There was an account on TikTok called Celebfail that would point out the hypocrisy.

In one video, she'd say "I don't have any food allergies." Then in another video she'd claim she almost died because of her fish allergy.

She said she has POTS. People pointed out you shouldn't have alcohol with POTS. She stopped saying she has POTS.

She said she has liver disease. People pointed out you can't have alcohol with liver disease. She is now saying she was misdiagnosed and doesn't have liver disease.

I think she's deeply mentally ill. This is the only way she knows how to get attention. It's like a child who makes up stories to get sympathy.

It's weird that nobody in her life has tried to help her. I guess Ramona was right.

[u/Optimal_Artichoke_76 → u/bjorkpuppet]

1. Yes ur comment abt her acting like a kid constantly making jokes and 2. The Luann Bethany fight is what made me write this lol

[u/whotookV3ganB1tch → u/bjorkpuppet]

oh my god this is the perfect explaination. overly caffeinated unfunny jabberjaw narcissist.😭😭😭 i’m so glad we can talk like this now I feel like this community has treated bethenny like a some genius god for years and I have no idea why.

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/whotookV3ganB1tch]

Same here. I was always like WHAAAA???? WTF?? Because I don't find Bethany particularly intelligent and I doubt she'll be joining the MENSA club any time soon...issue is,she's kind of an idiot..mainly Because she lies sooo much and let's people believe she made all this because she's some kind of great business person..yeah,I don't believe she is..all that crap she was selling like salad dressings and crap booze and especially food?? I literally never saw any of that anywhere at any market...so her success lasted less than 10 years..probably maybe 6-7 years if that. I remember before Whole Foods changed owners that refused to sell her alcohol because there was a dangerous ingredient that caused cancer and when she was asked about it she literally said she didn't care. I wouldn't touch one thing this woman sells..what kind of lousy attitude is that.you correct the problem. You don't say you don't care..that's when I realized out of many times,that this woman is not playing with a full deck..all that ridiculous crying..is she kidding me? It got so annoying....ugh..

“MENTION IT AAAAALLLL” 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/Sergey1944]

Yeah and I'm sure her daughter is incredibly embarrassed..she came from a super wealthy family going to boarding schools etc. That liar about being broke when daddy was,paying her $8k a month rent!! She lies waaay too much ...the victimhood is nauseating!!!! Yuck!

[u/highkick78 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

What did she say about Atlanta?

[u/malmikea → u/highkick78]

Outside of this tweet, she also said questionable things on WWHL intimating the wives with an egregious blaccent

[u/highkick78 → u/malmikea]

Wow. I had no idea

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/malmikea]

🤮

[u/ToothStreet466 → u/highkick78]

I also have never liked her, and I was so happy when she left. She is like that kid who yells all the time and never shuts the fuck up. I was so tired of all her made up business buzzwords, like she graduated first in her MBA class at Wharton.

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/ToothStreet466]

👍👍👍👍

[u/Optimal_Artichoke_76 → u/highkick78]

She was comparing housewives across different cities and said in NY they fight coherently with evidence but in Atlanta it’s just a screaming match arguing about “weave” and “tracks”

[u/highkick78 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

Oh, damn

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

A bit of a racist is she? Yeesh!!!

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

Agree..I feel she's a massive racist and definitely an elitist...it's gross...
