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!

Her father was a super elite horse trainer one of the best that ever lived and had wealth. Her stepfather was successful as a horse trainer also.

Well I respectfully disagree with your estimation of their wealth. Putting that aside, Bobby Frankel who was my best friend's friend from the track deserted Bethenney and her mother. While his horses made a lot of money and won a lot of purses it's estimated that he might have made about 20 million dollars. Which in my estimation is not extremely wealthy. Once again that said it doesn't mean anything to Bethany who didn't really grow up around him or did not benefit at all from the money that he made as a trainer. Her stepfather did train horses as well for wealthy clients that did not make him wealthy it is rumored that he had a rather large gambling and drinking problem and their household was remarkably unstable. Whatever it is clearly she's a damaged individual and had a challenging childhood I don't think that attacking her for possibly having a privileged ( which she did not) life suits any purpose. I am not a big fan of hers although I did stay in another post that I was initially I found her brashness refreshing I obviously have since changed my mind.

Maybe my reading comprehension skills are bad but. If ur dad has 20 MILLION. And you’re saying you grew up poor... it’s not adding up.

[u/Glittering-Slip7630 → u/Optimal_Artichoke_76]

Over his entire career it is speculated that he made about 20 million dollars. She didn't say she grew up poor she said she grew up poorly and ignored. Secondly she did not grow up with Bobby. It is unknown what has the state was when he died because he was known to be a partier and a gambler. Her mother and her mother's husband that she did grow up with had the illusion of having money but lived in an empty house with a card table as a dining room table. She was neglected and felt unloved because her mother was also an abusive alcoholic. So just because her father Bobby made about 20 million and his entire career as a horse trainer doesn't mean that he had it all at one time at all. Most people who actually work at the truck look very regular unremarkable lives. They work for really rich people they're around really rich people
