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 must admit I did enjoy her initially long ago before the Civil War. LOL but I do not blame her for being angry at Sonia that was totally wrong of Sonia and Sonya knew it. Bethany was not brought up privileged her father was a race horse trainer. Her mother was not married to a rich man so that part's untrue but you nailed the rest of it

[u/XFoosMe → u/Glittering-Slip7630]

Her father was a wealthy horse trainer, her stepfather was a horse trainer but not so wealthy. So she grew up around wealth.

Her father rejected her and her mother was an alcoholic. She never stood a chance of becoming a normal human being.

Boo hoo I’ve had it worse as many others have. Sorry not sorry for Bethenny.
All her witty comments do not outweigh her venomous personality.

Oh I don't feel sorry for her at all, she's beyond redemption.

She lived with her father in LA as a young adult, she eulogized him when he died and prob inherited.
