Bethenny Frankel

Place of No

How would Bethenny feel if Danielle was her castmate? Find out.

June 10, 2009

Atlantic city girls weekend. Teresa is a riot with enough clothes to fill up a dry cleaner. I am obsessive compulsive about only ever having carry-on luggage even on a week long trip, so Teresa's weekend wardrobe gave me anxiety. The other girls are sweet in just calling her a Barbie doll. I would be like, “For the love of god, get ready. Let’s relax by the pool.” The family theme prevails, and it is very sweet that she hates leaving her family. I don’t love that she uses gifts, lip gloss and cell phones to quiet her girls down when crying on the phone, but I can’t speak of things that I really do not know. My dog barks and I run to give her a greenie. Hopefully, I’ll be more disciplined with a daughter. Her husband redeemed himself for me this episode. He was loving: “Happy wife, happy life.” He brought his wife flowers for the boobie job and he seems lovable with the little girls. She did need the implants, and I’m glad she didn’t go massive. She really does have a great figure. She is currently pregnant. I wonder if that was intentional. I would think she would have gotten implants after she had her third child. Congrats to her. She really does enjoy being a mother and adore your girls.

By the way, I stayed at The Water Club last weekend in their exact suite. That hotel really is phenomenal. Speaking of figures, I think Danielle has a beautiful figure, a really pretty face, and I don’t think her breasts are too big. Caroline is their cast member with the token G boobs. That’s a lot to carry around, but she seems like she can handle it. Thinking of her in the gym makes me realize she could kick some serious ass. She had a few great one-liners. I love when she was talking about their friend who came to Atlantic City. She said, “She didn’t give me any reason to dislike her.” Way to come from a place of no. I fell off my couch when she said she could get hit by a bus tomorrow and how she wished she would have had that freaking piece of cheesecake when she saw that bus coming. She seems unconcerned with anything material and just loves her family. Everyone loves Caroline.

I think that Jacqueline has a serious dilemma with the Danielle situation, and given that it is a very new friend, they won’t be bosom buddies any longer. Danielle is delusional in calling her a sister. They literally met when they started filming. Danielle craves love and acceptance, which is why she has been engaged so many times and endures a self-destructive relationship with that seemingly sleazy younger man. We’ll get to Danielle in a bit. Let’s stick with Jacqueline. Why was she so insistent upon making her daughter be comfortable while holding a black sheer piece of fabric in a photo shoot? Why is a car dangling over her if she expresses herself freely for a camera? That was confusing. The girl is in high school. Pressuring her about schoolwork is one thing. Modeling is another. That was confusing, and I happened to think that the photos didn’t do her justice. This seemed like a manufactured scene just to have something to shoot together.

Bethenny, Cong. On your pregnancy. O dreamed you had a boy born June 11, 2010 Is that not weird. I pray for life to be poured out in blessings You are my favorite of all the Housewives total You are the real thing. It a pleasure to watch you on TV. God Bless You in all that you do. Lots of Love to. You and your new hubby and baby. Deedee

Bethany... you are the funniest girl!!!! you have a sarcastic sense of humor ... I love it!
keeps on busting balls!!!!!!

Let me start off by saying I love all the housewives from every show. They are all different and that what makes me watch. I myself am a housewife so I can understand what the day to day battles are. Now i can honestly say that when Bethenny and Kelly were talking you let her run over you. I think Teresa was justified in everything she did and she not only stood up for herself but also for her family. You talk of class... In this situation it was not about class but it was about whether or not the lives of these ladies and their families were at stake.
If I found a book like that about anyone that I associated with then you are damn right i want other people to know about it. It was bigger than anything you have ever had to deal with. What you dont know about you shouldnt have such a strong oppinion. Danielle was not wrong for not telling them. I think she should have never dont it there where their was kids and she was invited only because of Teresa's loving heart. She should have realized that this was not a place for that and that the appropriate time for this was when they were alone. It just the same as when the drama was going on with Tamra and Gretchen. Tamra was acting so stupid, all you had to do was tell her that someone was calling and say that he said things about her. Not accuse her of what you rightfully dont know. Im sorry but all props to Teresa... NJ was one of the realest reality shows out.

B,
As a college student emerging into womanhood I've respected you and tried to emulate your drive and personal objectivity. You always admit when you are wrong and confidently stick to your guns when you know you're right. You appear a true friend and that is something many people strive for. However, why are you so harsh with Teresa. She is absolutely adorable and so loving towards her children. Yes she may be a bit doting, but I watch their interactions with a feeling of hope that I can one day be as good of a mother. I absolutely agree that Teresa's children should have left the room and respect her for making that decision. Children that age clearly don't know what she was laughing and giggling about in reference to her "boobie job" but the yelling and tension is a different matter. These girls are of age that that could have been their firs memory...and what a tragic one at that. So, PROPS TERESA!
It seems to me that YOU are the insecure one who attacks women of your age who are beautiful and have something to offer. I think confidence and maturity are genuine when they are not compromised by the presence of another individual. You are wonderful the way you are and putting these other women down only makes you look bad. I know you "call it like you see it" but come on, stop seeing so much negative. There's too much beauty in this world for you to be saying these nasty, unproductive things. Stop being so critical.

Bethenny, I love you! You are by far my favorite housewife ever! You always tell it the way it is!

Bethany you are so right! you are the REAL DEAL!!! I feel like you were the best on your season by the way! but these ladies remind me of the female version of the SOPRANOS! Granted that they are in New Jersey, but the way the run things it just seems like im watching the cliche italian drama.

Bethenny,
I love your perspective on life. I love your attitude. I wish I had the balls that you have! I just think you are so fantastic. I tend to hold things in and you just put it out there and I admire you for that.

Hi Bethenny,
What did you think of the reunion show last nite? Those jersey girs are meaner than I remember. They don't have any compassion for anyone who makes a mistake! I am glad my family is scattered about so I don't have to hear so much bull-- every day. Still waiting for your next book Honey Girl.
Love & Hugs,
Patty

I totally agree with you on this blog. I feel as if you nailed it one each one of the housewives. Good luck with everything! Can't wait until the next season with you on again!

<3 another Beth

You are hysterical Bethany.Love you lots. ANyway, I do agree with you on this.Most definatly DANIELLE is a man stealer as well.Girls, no man is safe from her black widow assaults.She is there to use naive Jacqueline as her tool to sneak into the family.Jacqueline is a weak link and will regret her association with this woman.I used to have a snake friend like her. She envied my husband and the salary/position he held in his work.She tried to keep me exclusively as her friend and it turned out badly.I had to move to get away from her.Anyway,Your take is pretty accurate.Thanks for your posting.

Bethenny,

Just because YOU call it, at you see it, doesn't mean thats the way everyone else sees or views it. You are intitled to your opininion but not everyone has to agree. We all see things, as we see things...get the drift!

Hope all your dreams come true!

Bethenny, I really admire you...I love how your honest and straight forward BUT not in a nasty way. I agree with you about Danielle being insecure, she totally is way too insecure. She puts this front like shes so secure and loves herself MEANWHILE its totally opposite. So sad.

Bethenny, you really keep it real, girl! You need to have a sit-down with each and every Jersey girl on the show. I like Jaqueline and Teresa, and love to hate the others. Your common sense and frank language is what they need to hear, but you'd probably be talking to the hand, because they are for the most part delusional! Can't wait til the NY girls are back, you are my favorites, especially you & Jill!

Bethenny,

You are hilarious!! And your blog is soooo right. Danielle is beautiful, but a sad person. I think she needs real help. Jaqueline is in no way shape or form Danielle's best friend. Until Danielle gets help, she will never have true friends. You have to love yourself first to love others and she doesn't. She needs attention like you said and confuses that with love and friendship. Anyways, I want to see you in another season!! Can't wait.

Betheny
I do not agree with you about Jacqueline and Danielle. I think Jackie is a good friend and she is very genuine. Danielle is not pretending to be somebody she is not like Theresa, Caroline and Dinna. Dinna needs to stop hiding behind her sister Caroline.

Bethany, I agree with you. Danielle has a few issues, Jacqueline is nice but I was also a bit confused about the photo shoot but, I am loving Theresa, Dina and Caroline. I would like to see Dina have another child she is so loving with Lexi, Caroline is the backbone to that family she is truely family oriented.

Bethenny!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your book! I just purchased a copy for one of my six sisters since she does have a tough relationship with food and body image. I think she will enjoy reading it, learning from you (since we agree that you are so beautiful both inside and out!) and practicing the recipes. I am certain to get a few "girl nights" out of your recipes!

Keep up your awesome perspective!
from one yenta to another!!!!

Bethenny, You shout class and I love watching you. You are successful for many reasons and I respect them all. You hit it right on the head with Danielle. She is one messed up woman and needs help! Can't wait to see the new season of NYC.

Bethany Im such a fan of yours!! You are so real and straight forward I love that! The NY reunion had me cracking up, especially the part when you and Jill made fun of Kelly jaja, she deserved it all. Oh and she's the one down there, not you! Dont never change!

Bethenny I adore you and usually agree with you but sadly this time you are wrong. Probably because you haven't seen the whole show and not seen all the dynamics but you are judging from a point of not knowing everything or seeing everything. Caroline and Dina are horrific people. Jacqueline is a doll and Danielle is so wrongly judged & the only way you can understand that is if you see very episode. Dina in fact yesterday did publicly admit that she did it all & told other people about the book but embelished the facts & not once asked Danielle's side. There is always 2 sides to a story & this one definitely has the other side. Also take into consideration the book was written by Danielle's bitter exhusband. So please my friend watch it all & do some investigation on your own before you judge Danielle & most people know by now who Caroline & Dina really are and they aren't nice people at all.

Wait! I love jill.. meant to say Kelly.. soo sorry Jill. I am sure you know who I meant.. lmao!!

Bethenny you rock girl!

Bethenny, no doubt about it! you are the most genuine person of the housewives. Jill is extremely phony and needs a reality check. Stay the strong,humble woman you are.

I think you should have a guest appearence in all of the housevives shows.....everyone needs a little Bethenny in their lives..xxoo

I love you and Jill. Kelly is the biggest phony I have ever seen she is such a liar. You and Jill are good and funny people, and really care about others. Keep up the good work.

Great job on your take of the finale! Bethany are an amazing person and I think they just need to get rid of these crazy ex models the one from your show and the one from this show. I love Jill shes my fav. and I hope you guys always remain friends i look up to your guys ability to make it through the BS. As for the jersey girls well they are all dolls danielle needs to get some counseling. If i was teresa I woulda smacked her for ruining my dinner party! I would have asked her to leave and Danielle shoulda acted like a grown woman and talked to dina one on one from the get!

Bethenny,

I am surprised that you have so much nice things to say about caroline and dina. You gave me the impression that you were better at detecting when a person was full of crap. While I am not the biggest fan of danielle, she really needs to mellow out on the botox, I find caroline's and dina's behavior disgusting. It is one thing to feel protective of one's family, but to act that petty and mean is inexcusable. I find them to be very trashy.

OMG- LOVE you girl!

I'm reading your book.. it's been 3 days and it's already changed my life!! Thank you for opening my eyes!!!

You rocked on Today with Hoda!! Guaranted you get your own show!! You're the BEST!!

Hi,
I am not sure what episode it was, I never watch your show. Yesterday I was cleaning house and it was on. I turned off the vascuum and you said something on a blind date about you being a ball buster. I about died laughing. I am from California and we do not use that term lightly here. I have a dear friend from New York and everytime she says that I bust up. This time though it was that guys reaction. I had to call my son in to rewind the show so I could hear all of the conversation...that was hilarious, thank you for brightening up my day! Not sure if it worked out but i hope so...funny storu to share in the future.

bethenny,

i love watching you, i get your humor, and I can't help but find myself agreeing with almost everything you say. i just hope kelly never returns to the show because unfortunately i will have to stop watching, i just feel as though i lose brain cells every time she comes on screen.

Bethany I love you! You keep it real and that's the way it should be

The wasn't car dangling over her if she expresses herself freely for a camera. It was dangling over her because of the way she snapped at her mother at the photo shoot. She could have just said "Mom, you really making me more nervous/distracted." However, she just snapped and yelled at her mom and her mom looked embarrassed that her child is yelling at her.

Please don't give your dog greenies or any other hard dental bones. They have been known to lodge in the dogs' throat and choke them to death. They won't dissolve and get stuck. Dogs have died and I'm surprised they are even still on the market.

"I can’t always be a snarky hater just for the sake of it. I really do call it as I see it."

Really?!

Ms. B,

I like your comments from the time you were on NY to the comments on NJ.

I can't wait for Tuesday and the final and see what you have to say.

talk later

Bethenny

Well, I just have to say you are wonderful on the show and I can't wait for the next season. I also like you can't stop laughing when I watch ALL the Housewives shows! They should make a reality show out of regular housewives or single moms like myelf! It would be soooooo funny! By the way where does bravo find these characters?

You go Bethenny!
I personally think they should do one in Texas.I can see it now..
"Everything's Bigger..... In Texas"
*Texan Drama*
"Coming Soon.."

OOOPS. Called TODAY show, Good Morning America. Sorry NBC. Whatever the channel, you were great. Keep it up!

You were great on GOOD MORNING AMERICA! Would you please repeat the name of the skin care line you use when you get a pimple? I need some help!

Great take on the show Bethenny. I can't wait until you guys NY housewives start the new season.

Bethany, you rock! Def. the coolest! I think it would be hysterical if you did a cameo on the NJ reunion show and just gave us all your thoughts...I would be rolling...you should write more! I am flippin stoked for tonight....Go Jersey!

I am a tad bit tired of Caroline's protective attitude. She made a huge deal out of Danielle dancing with her son- why would she come off so harsh. I am sure that Danielle was not going to rape him in front of her! They are always playing the clip of "if she wants to mess with me, bring it on!". Get real, is that how you really act? I liked her in the beginning, then realized she was not as she seemed. Dina is two faced, yet I agree with you that the dynamic with her daughter is great. Danielle is the girl in high school that wants to be a liked but is not accepted by the "in crowd". This show, more than any of the other Real Housewives brand, is boring and childish. I will watch to the end, than no more. If it returns again next year- I'll skip it. I can not wait for NYC to come back.

Bethenny you and Jill are my FAVORITES!!!!! You were correct on you description on Danielle! She does have some MAJOR issues. Danielle doesn't have any confidence in herself. I can't wait till you guys return, and to see what kind of "conflicts" you and the "model" will be having!!!

So I recently met up with my 3 sisters for annual visit. Two of the three watched Real Wives of NYC and we had such a good time talking about the episodes. All agree that Kelly's and idiot and you're cool. Just thought you should know :)

Hi Bethenny,
Saw you on the Today show and didn't miss an episode of The Housewives. You would be a natural with your own talk show. You're so honest, quick witted and of course very pretty.
Congratulations on finding love.
I'm enjoying this blog very much. I agree with your take on the Housewives of New Jersey.

Wow! Wonder what happened?

hey bethenny i have an idea. why not arrange a party where danielle and kelly both attend. then danielle can meet kelly, say she's her new best friend and kelly can do her stopppp thing. Now that would be a reality show all in itself. i think i'd pay to watch that one.

Give daniell a break what ever happen was a long time ago

The lonely bored other wives need to check in on there husbands they never seemed to be around then maybe they
would mind thereown b only worth watching is to see how nasty they will be to daniell
and as for bethany dont forget you used to be without
man just like danille so dont be to quick to think your
Dr. Phil

I agree with you about Danielle and I must add on to it she is not right in the head...she's a drama queen and thats probaly why her husband left her and why she has no girlfriends...she has to much time on her hands.....
