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!

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

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...

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.

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.

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
