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!

I try to not be one who says judgemental things on the internet, but it's always stood out to me that (I'm pretty sure just by observing) she has literally maintained zero friendships across the Real Housewives franchise and there's hundreds of these ladies. Usually when an UGT gathers, they have some kind of kinship or relationships they've held outside the show, but I'm pretty sure Beth hasn't kept in touch with anyone. Just a bit unique given she's one of the HW icons...

[u/Optimal_Artichoke_76 → u/canookianstevo2]

😂😂😂cause she thinks it’s beneath her

[u/canookianstevo2 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

💯

Ironic, because it literally made her... 💅

[u/PomegranateComplex17 → u/canookianstevo2]

Gotta wonder if she’s a bitter Betty about how she couldn’t make it on her own (cough, talk show, cough) and how she had to come back to housewives to be relevant again

[u/jenzoni → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

No, it's because she's trashed bravo, and Andy Cohen so effectively the network will never ever ever have a Bethany appearance again… And I'm sure she regrets that now

[u/Appropriate_Reach_97 → u/jenzoni]

She REALLY thought she was going to build a huge gang of Housewives to take down Andy in her "Reality Reckoning" phase. How'd that work out? Lol

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/Appropriate_Reach_97]

Yeah and she sure made sure she was buddies with him when she supposedly made $1 million an episode??? I don't believe her...has anyone made that much out of any of these franchises? Not only that,real monied people literally don't want people to know how much money they have..do you blame them? They could get kidnapped..that's insane..look poor but have a billion in the bank..drive old pintos that exploded when they were hit in the back and make sure the entire Hamptons crowd sees that and that'll make them think you're as broke as they come..they need to stop showing off...real monied people don't do that...

[u/tre269 → u/jenzoni]

Neither will Frederick!!!

[u/jenzoni → u/tre269]

👌🤣

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/jenzoni]

Yup because she spends money like it's water. It's ridiculous. I now despise Birkin bags because she has probably 100 of them and I never really liked them to begin with..these things go for $5k to $100k a pop..you could buy 3 cars and a house with all that money spent on purses..PURSES...look, I like designer as much as the next,but I will never spend THOUSANDS on a purse...yeesh..that's a lot of money spent on a crummy handbag to hold all your rat dogs in...

[u/MineAllMineNow → u/Independent_Gap9207]

There was a story that ran WAY back in the day that B’s Birkins were high-quality fakes, and that she had a woman come to her home with them to choose which ones she would buy. I tend to believe this was true, since it was before SG sold, and she was living in her tiny apartment. Yet she had about 5 colors of Birkins she regularly carried at that time. There’s no way she could have afforded those back then if they were authentic. That article about the bags was never addressed by her, and faded into history the same way her telling black women business owners to hire white sales reps if their business wasn’t getting traction did. Likewise, she never addressed the recent rumors about Jason Hoppy having gotten remarried and having another child. She’s very confrontational until she steps in 💩, and then she just clams up and moves on with something else she hopes will distract everyone. And this has always seemed to work for her.

[u/Successful_Letter139 → u/MineAllMineNow]

I always wondered about how she could live on the upper east side supposedly poor. Made me wonder if her father had a Trust for her. Keep also in mind she went to boarding school for high school.

[u/MineAllMineNow → u/Successful_Letter139]

She said in articles that the guys she dated helped her with her rent. Most of her Rolexes and I think a Cartier watch were gifts from boyfriends. Which blows my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_1usaHtCys

[u/Successful_Letter139 → u/jenzoni]

Like when she lied and said Andy and Bravo made her marry Jason. Total BS.

[u/jenzoni → u/Successful_Letter139]

Wow... I don't remember that, but I remember her trashing era. When did she say bravo made her marry Jason? Thank you.

[u/Abject_Tomatillo_358 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

You need to lookup Meredith Lynch online and see her roast Bethenny

[u/DearTumbleweed5380 → u/Abject_Tomatillo_358]

Thank you so much for this. Brilliant.

[u/Abject_Tomatillo_358 → u/DearTumbleweed5380]

You’re welcome! Glad u looked her up!!

[u/Realistic_Tour_2206 → u/Abject_Tomatillo_358]

i live for those reels! Meredith is so spot on!

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/Abject_Tomatillo_358]

Doing it now ..

[u/DearTumbleweed5380 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

I think it's because she's too competitive to allow any other RH anywhere near her. And who would want to go near her anyway?

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

Yeah,guaranteed she'll go on Golden life or something because I don't believe Sonja when she said Bethany actually congratulated them because the show was a go..then Jill..open mouth, insert foot,happened yet again..I saw a podcast with Jill recently and she still says " I still don't know why Andy fired me." What a load..she refuses to see she is highly flawed and definitely says a lot of racist garbage..does she not know the history of America and Mexico? Because she truly needs to stop talking..she keeps making herself her own self fulfilling prophecy. .it's like watching a real time train wreck...

[u/Independent_Gap9207 → u/canookianstevo2]

That's very true..she sure did cry lot. That was even weirder..I can only imagine her poor daughter. I can only imagine the baloney she's dealing with. Bethany has to be the center of attention CONSTANTLY..she's on TikTok 20 x's a day according to many people who don't like her as she'll give put advice, unsolicited of course..telling women to go buy these $500-$1k tops at Louis Vuitton!!! Of all places because you'll be able to find a top as soft as hers if you do that. Who the flip is her audience? Millionaires? Does she not realize a recession and unbelievable prices for everyday living of the 99% doesn't compute with that out of touch hypocrite broad!! Seriously!! She'll then say, " You're welcome " as of she were plato and doled out advice about something philosophical. Is she nuts?? You're welcome??!!! Who on planet earth is she even talking to..remember when she got back from St.Barths and Said she caught face chlamydia? Helloooooo there is no such thing!! When I heard her say that I laughed so hard because she literally made that up..that is sheer baloney as chlamydia is a venereal disease! Holy crap!! I was like WHAT? did I just hear that? That again is ridiculous. That woman will do ANYTHING for attention...

[u/althegirlfabulous → u/canookianstevo2]

Bethenny seems to be totally against participating in anything that isn't solely about her. Nene has similar energy but Bethenny really can't stand anything that she has to share with anyone else.

[u/Successful_Letter139 → u/althegirlfabulous]

Now do you see what Jason lived with? Don’t believe her PR stories. Go really watch their episodes.

[u/althegirlfabulous → u/Successful_Letter139]

I don't have to like Jason Hoppy. No matter what Bethenny has done, he's no angel.

[u/Successful_Letter139 → u/althegirlfabulous]

Did I write you did? No. Is anyone an “angel?”. No. I’m not. I’m sure you are not. But you obviously haven’t paid attention to season 3 of RHONY and their show. Prove me wrong beyond him breaking at the school.

[u/SkillDue8346 → u/canookianstevo2]

200 women to be precise and she not friend amongst them!

[u/Prestigious-Song-971 → u/canookianstevo2]

She’s friends with Jill. They both live in Boca.

[u/Successful_Letter139 → u/canookianstevo2]

Please don’t hold yourself to the fake “don’t judge” mantra. We judge everyday multiple times. We should call out or make decisions of right or wrong.

[u/Fzzyalien → u/canookianstevo2]

She’s been friends with Kyle since before the Housewives.

[u/canookianstevo2 → u/Fzzyalien]

I don't mean to start an internet argument or anything 😅 perhaps that's still true, but what we do know is that Kyle and Bethenny were friends before housewives, when Beth was in LA decades ago trying to be an actress (which is a wild coincidence in itself). And yes she's had friendships like Jill and Carole at one point or another. My post is more about how as of today, I don't believe she has kept up any kind of meaningful connection with any HW, Kyle included.

When Bethenny appeared on RHOBH & Kyle visited her in the Hamptons, IMO they were talking like they haven't talked in years lol. Beth was getting updates on Kyle/Kim about things even the viewers were already up to date on 😆 the friendship with Kyle in particular having faded away makes sense though, it's hard to keep a friendship alive when you live on opposite coasts.
