Bethenny, I am so happy for you that you are going to be a mommy. Your husband to be seems like a great man...cute too :) I am sorry you have to deal with kelly, jill, an lu-ann. You dont need negitive people in your life. I see you are emotional and i can relate to you. I too had friends like that and its better now without them. You tried making things better with Jill but she rejected you, you have the right to feel what you feel and i can see, she starting to regret it but still gave her no right treat you the way she did. You have a brighter future coming and more important, your new true family. I am on your team!

Congrats Bethenny! You are awesome. Get the "toxicity" out of your life (I think you've done that already) and just move on and be happy!!! You deserve it! Jill is a witch and also a b!!!

I am sorry about your dad! Continue to try and forge a relationship with him dont give up. As a parent you will very quickly learn that it is hard and we make a TON of mistakes and you will be surprized at how understanding of your parental units once you start living it. My father just passed away and I am glad we patched things up and I miss him a lot. I hope it will work out for you and yoru dad.

Bethenny, I get you, your humor, your emotion...etc. Never have I seen a "Housewife" so misunderstood. What is wrong with your castmates? I call your humorous remarks, "smart humor." You're either smart enough to get it and laugh or so stupid, you take the comments and run and make yourself look like an idiot. And as far a Kelly goes, her last name should be, Kelly Be-so-phony. Really, who does this woman think she's fooling with that stupid laugh, phony personality. How she even got on the show is beyond me. This is the first time I've written any comment about a show or person on a show. But after last weeks show, I just had to say how I feel whether you read this or not. Hang in there girlfriend, you're my favorite of all the Housewife's and I wish you all the success and happiness you deserve. Remember, "Living Well Is The Best Revenge."

Bethanny, Congratulations on your new marriage and baby. Nothing like to two
together to make a woman's life complete. And, of course, I am sure you all ready know, that you have all that you need to be happy and complete. Jill is a spoiled little Jewish girl (look at how she rolled her eyes at her Mother's behavior while they were
taking photographs together). Well,
I can tell you, you daughter is going to
be doing the same thing to her if she
doesn't grow up. Unfortunately, the world DOES NOT REVOLVE around Jill.
Why doesn't she go to some of the many homeless shelters and donate some of her clothes and bags, and maybe she could take LuAnn with her.
I say that they need to get a real life.

HEY BETHANY, I REALLY LIKE YOU. ALL THE OTHERS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ALEX ARE FAKE.I CAN'T STAND KELLY EITHER, SHES A DOPE!!KEEP ON DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.JILL SHOWED HER TRUE COLORS, AND HOW SELF ABSORBED SHE REALLY IS. IT'S ALL ABOUT HER. THERES NOTHING EVEN INTERESTING ABOUT ANY OF THE HOUSEWIVES IN THEIR LIVES TO WATCH. YOUR ON A NEW AND EXCITING JOURNEY AND YOUR BETTER OFF WITHOUT THEM COMPLACATING YOUR LIFE. GOOD LUCK IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, YOU DESERVE IT!!!!

Jill can't have all this toxicity in her life? Well she created it. She won't own the toxicity. You weren't the one running around sticking knives in her back. She is a hypocrite.

You really are perceptive. Figuring out that Jill never met a battle she didn't like. And worrying excessively if she would criticize your flowers. Only you and Alex can articulate. The other women just spout unenlightened drivel. Like the countless's great line "she didn't even say hello." what a scream she is. But we all felt terrible for you.

Bethanny, I so relate to you on so many different levels. This season I cried when you cried. I applaud you for all the efforts you attempted at mending your friendship. It is clear to me that this friendship was meaningful to you and the important factor wasn't that you were trying to get things "back to square one," but that you were acknowledging that there was no reason to be hateful and ingratiating. Pregnancy will definitely limit your tolerance level for quite a bit and it seems that it couldn't have come at a better time.

Congratulations on everything God has blessed you with. You are so well deserving of it all. All the hurt that you have been through in the loss of your friendship to Jill is unfortunate and I can tell you that it's a pain like no other---worse than a break-up with an ex, but you will persevere. You have a great new journey ahead of you and it's unfortunate that Jill focused so much on the past instead of mending the present while being a part of your future. God bless you and your new family.

Although I totally agree that this fight with you and Jill got blown way out of porprtion, I still think it would be nice if you apologized to Jill and her hubby for not being there. Emails and flowers are ok for casual friends but not best friends and cancer is a big deal, not just a root canal.

I watched the "inviting LuAnn for a drink" and my jaw dropped on the floor. I totally agree with you Bethany - so if you suggest to do a certain thing together you are supposed to pay for everyone on that activity? Come on, what part of the world does the countess live on. I used to like LuAnn OK on the previous seasons but definitely not this one.

And rock on with your skinny girl car. I thought it was so cool you were driving a car that is branded with your own brand. That is an accomplishment that no Hermes bag can compare to. And you actually found a man that is willing to drive the car around on his own! Good job :) Best wishes!

I do hope you and Jill reconcile some day though. It seems to be a genuine misunderstanding.

Bethenney

Take it from someone who had to weed out toxic friendships in my life, cuz really life is short why fill it with people who LIVE for drama.
Jill is acting like a spoiled teenager and wants the drama of the fight more than talking like a grown up to someone who claims they love you so much. She is passive/agressive and when you get upset they get calm so they can say "U R getting so upset, I don't need this drama in my life."
U know U R a bad friend when you keep a phone message for months about a comment that was made while U were fighting and plays it when she as she say "starts to soften" No Jill when you soften that usually means your common sense has kicked in and you realize that your friendship with this person is more important than a petty fight and your pride. But I guess the pride is more important than the friendship, I get you know and all I can say is petty.
Keep rockin Bethenney and just know motherhood changes you in profound ways so just listen to your gut and cut some people some slack but just know that it isn't U in this Jill fight this is all her!

You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!! You have worked hard had to defend evey step of the way It is your time to shine and whoever supports you and is on that band-wagon find and if they don't oh! well...Congradulations yes you can have itall and more!!!!!!!!!!!

HEy BEthany! i just want to say you have become my favorite of the ladies, I see so much in your personalioty that i too share like the little one liners and quick comments its so irrisistable lol i speak without thinking first alot atleast its right from the heart! Im so happy for you to be getting the chance to start a family its truley amazing, the best feeling of achievement is watching your children take all their firsts and know that you created them, Again i just want to say I admire you so much you Are a woman that i could only home to be as strong and sucessful as.... YOU GO GIRL!!!!I think that its crazy that the viewers especialy seem to overlook that you are a just a woman like any other woman, just because you have become greatly successful and found strenght to put your life on the TV. They seem to be failing to give you the right to be a person, we all have moments when we might not say the right thing or in the right way or go to far or say something that we shouldnt we are all guilty of getting wrapped up in how we feel and speaking out from that!!!

BETHENNY, IF JILL CANT FORGIVE THE COMMENT (GET A HOBBY) MOVE ON, SHES CHILDISH AND MAYBE THATS NOT THE KIND OF FRIEND YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE. I LOVE YOU SWEETIE JUST CONTINUE TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND YOUR NEW LOVE/HUSBAND JASON. HE DOESNT NEED THAT DRAMA THAT HAS BEEN CREATED. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!

Hola Bethenny!
Love your personality! I think the other women get jealous because of the true person that you are! They can't handle it! Life is tough and you need to be just the way you are to handle it! I think you're so funny!
Congratulations on your baby and Jason! Yes! Go with yes people and environments, don't live in negativity! Misery loves company! Best wishes to you and Jason!

You got to this point in life because of who you are, so why change it?

Don't worry, be happy!!
;-D

First of all I would like to congratulate you on your successful relationship and pregnancy. God bless you and your family.

Hi Bethenny

I fell in love with your personality from day one. In my opinion you are above it all when it comes to dealing with phony divas. I'm very aware of how annoying it can be having silly know-it-all people trying to criticize or to censor you because of your quick wit. That's why your life is the most interesting. You're a real people-person and don't go changing. Enjoy your new baby and Baby Daddy. You've inspired me to start my own business with your go for it attitude. thanks alot!!

All I'm saying is Bethany does not want to post for Playboy, but she does the practically nude seen on the show. Aaah correct me if I'm wrong, but did she not show alot on the show.

Bethenny - I think that you are a very honest person,,,, I feel like this season they are trying to paint you as a snarkey person but ---- I think that what is most important to note is ---- you would "say anything" to anyone's face if they would give you the opportunity. Keep on keeping on.... and do not second quess yourself (yes, I know that you normally do not do this anyway). Love the show,,,,, It is the only "Housewife's show" that I enjoy....

YOU ARE THE BOMB, GIRLFRIEND!! RIGHT FROM THE FIRST EPISODE, I KNEW YOU WERE HEADS AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THOSE PETTY, SUPERFICIAL BITCHES. THEY CAN'T COME CLOSE TO YOU IN EVERY AREA...YOU ARE THE MOST HONEST, (ESPECIALLY ABOUT YOURSELF,) THE HOTTEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL, THE MOST CREATIVE, NOT TO MENTION YOUR WICKED, WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR. (LOVE YOUR ONE-LINERS.) I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN JAY LENO'S PLACE.

FROM WHAT YOU SHARED ABOUT YOUR NON-RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PARENTS AND HAVING TO RAISE YOURSELF, I THINK YOU DID ONE HELL OF A GOOD JOB.

FOR WHAT MY 2 CENTS IS WORTH, I THINK THAT ALL THE OTHER "CREATURES", YOUR "CAST-AWAY MATES," ARE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS OF YOU. I THINK JILL GOT SOME KIND OF PERVERSE PLEASURE IN PERCEIVING YOU AS "THE UNDERDOG." SHE IS TOO INSECURE TO BE SINCERELY HAPPY FOR YOUR SUCCESS AND THE LAST THING SHE WANTED FOR YOU WAS A HEALTHY, LOVING RELATIONSHIP. THAT YENTA MUST HAVE "PLOTZED," OR HAD A BREAKDOWN WHEN SHE FOUND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT.

JILL SUFFERS FROM "AFFLUENZA," THE DISEASE OF MORE. SHE IS SO SUPERFICIAL..I NEVER SAW HER AS YOUR BFF. AND WHAT'S UP WITH HER PLAYING YOUR MESSAGE TO LU ANNE? HER LIFE IS SO VOID OF ANYTHING MEANINGFUL. HER LIFE IS COMPRISED OF GOSSIPING, STIRRING UP ALTERCATIONS, SHOPPING, ETC.

I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ON ALL THE OTHER CRAZIES ON YOUR SHOW.

I DON'T KNOW YOU, YET I FEEL AS THOUGH I DO. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR GUY. YOU SEE, BETHENNY, YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL.

YOU MENTIONED A SPIN-OFF...CAN YOU SHARE ANY INFO ABOUT THAT?
I'D LOVE TO BE YOUR NANNY...I AM HIGHLY QUALIFIED, LOVD KIDS, BUT I'M A DISASTER AS A COOK!!

I KNOW HOW VERY BUSY AND FULL YOUR LIFE IS AND I'M SURE YOUR INUNDATED WITH REQUESTS FOR EVERYTHING. HERE'S ONE MORE...WOULD LOVE TO SPEAK WITH YOU...HAVE SOME INTERESTING THINGS TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.

IF YOU TOLD ME 3 YEARS AGO, I'D BE WATCHING A SHOW LIKE YOURS RELIGIOUSLY, I WOULD HAVE SAID YOU'RE NUTS. YOU ARE A HOOT!!

ONE LAST QUESTION..YOU MENTIONED LAST SEASON ON YOUR BLIND DATE AT PHILLIPPES, THAT THEY HAD IN FACT INVENTED THE "SKINNY GIRL MARGUARITA." DID THEY ASK FOR ANYTHING FROM YOU FOR THAT?

YOU ROCK, BETHENNY!

Bethenny- Congrats on your new love Jason and the upcoming birth of you sweet baby. I am thrilled that your life is going so well and you business is a huge success. You,Jason and the baby have the promise of a wonderful life together, your future is bright. Good Luck. I saw the pain in your face when you saw Jill at the style show,I hurt for you and also for her.She is hurting as much as you are. Jill has been a great friend to you and you have also been a great friend to her. Ya'll do share a lot of love and precious times together and hopefully ya'll can get away from the "girls" and the camera and make things right between you two. From the beginning I felt that you and Jill were really the only ones on the show that had a true friendship. Jill is a kind person and Im sure she would love to be there to share in the joy of your new love Jason and your baby. When you are real friends you don't owe one another,,anything done or given should be give with love...girl you never had a debt to Jill...just be her friend and let her know that you still want her in your life. I am pulling for you both. Kelly is the needy one...and a true pain. I had a very negative opinion of her after her ugly fight with you when she first came on. You are her big competition girl, Ignore her and her drama.. LuAnn just needs to be in the middle of something right now to give herself worth... It is so obvious how hurt Jill is to save the message and to have to play again and again...she almost cried when she played it on the show for luAnn. ( LuAnn really in her most proper way fueled the fire with " that is so mean") This needs to be between you and Jill and no one else. With Bobby being sick, you not needing her as much , Jill is a little vulnerable...you are the strong one..give her a hug..You have all going for you girl..and you heart will be content if you can mend this tiff. Your baby needs as many people as possible to love him/her and Jill would truly love your baby. Hugs

Looks like the show is 'trying' to take a turn. Jill can't get air time unless she's dogging you. Luann is boring and her getting caught up with the 'proper way' of running her life and getting called out by everyone is quite amusing. Your such a gem Bethenny and everyone is behind you. Can't wait to see pics of you with your baby.
Take care and you are the best on the show!

Hi Bethenny... You are so real and that is important, but to honest I do miss you and Jill friendship, that was the one true connection in the last season. I know you both miss each other and the show is not helping. You know what is the right thing to do.....

I love the show, you do seem a bit on edge and now that I know you were pregnant its understandable. i was an emotional rollercoaster when I was pregnant and the smallest irritant would send me off on a tangent. I like you, I do think that you probably got caught up in all that was going on and expected Jill to understand but I have to say that you should have come to see her or at least maintained regular phone contact during this period. Its hard work to maintain good relationships both romantic and friendly and I hope you and Jill work this out. I like you and Jill togehter. I hate seeing Jill be fake with Kelli and Luanne. Please rescue her! LOL.

Bethenny I think ur a little to aggressive now which makes me like u less than before. Everything is good 4 u now but u shouldn't burn bridges u never know whats going 2 happen!

Bethany,
I really liked you and rooted for you last season. This thing with Jill is so sad. Please do not pretend like you are above it and something is wrong with Jill. It takes two people to argue or have a misunderstanding. Jill was a very good friend to you and all of a sudden you dumped her and acted like she is the needy one. This is completely ridiculous. YOU HURT YOUR VERY CLOSE FRIENDS FEELINGS. Jill truly cared about you and the friendship you shared. This is not hard to diagnose or fix. Swallow that big lump of pride and be real again. I wish you all the best with your relationship and baby. I am very happy for you.

Bethanney- you are the real deal- your blog is classy and right to the point- goodluck and happiness to you.

what is up with you? You were my favorite but it seems this new love in your life switched on this "I'm too good for you now that I have it all" . . . Jill was good to you and there for you when you needed a friend. Don't loose a great friend and take important relationships for granted... you def need a reality check. Very disappointed!

Bethenny,

I think you're the realest housewife I love you to death and I'm so happy that you found true love I'm so happy for you and everything you have done I think your amazing!!! I love the whole skinny girl thing I cant wait till I can find one here in TEXAS!! I've been looking but have yet to find it!! I have your book your amazing!! I LOVE IT !! I hope the best for you and jason!!

KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!! LOVE IT!

= STephen

Bethany:

I really liked the post-season recap show where it was apparent that you really took to heart and saw some truth to criticisms Alex gave you. It showed me that you could in all candor look at yourself and acknowledge an adjustment might be good. It seems to me that you often think out loud and sometimes aren't as cognizant about who's listening as might be best for you. I've also suffered this malady... it's my opinion it's a leading reason for people to misunderstand.

The Countess was wrong regarding total white/black rule of he who invites pays. That may be true of drinks or dinner, but that's not necessarily true of wind surfing excursions, shopping dates, etc. Also for her to break the earlier engagement, insist you drive two hours to meet her on her own turf... seems to smack of her having invited you now. She didn't make your invitation. You made her counter-invitation. So, by her own logic... she should have paid.

I could tell you were gobsmacked by her behavior (as was I) and it's always been just a tad curious to me that the person who seems to always stand on protocol, seems to operate just fine without it when the mood suits her.

So sorry to hear about you and Jill falling out. I imagine the reason why Jill was hurt was the implication she heard in you need a hobby. It's all about an inner dialogue. What you said, and what she heard, were different things. What she heard (and what many people would hear) is "you are too needy." What I think you meant is "I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. I've really enjoyed all the times we've spent and wish we could have more of that. My cup is overflowing with blessings lately and I've been overwhelmed with trying to fit everything into a day. Let's keep looking for a time when both of us have more than 2 minutes to get caught up, okay?" Unfortunately, this isn't what popped out of your mouth.

Have you thought of writing Jill a note? I've often found that when people have a chance to sit and reflect and decide upon a reaction (rather than have to give immediate reaction) there's a good chance for a positive outcome. Think on this a while. See if you could see yourself re-integrating Jill into your new life.

Bethenny,
I am so happy for you and Jason...congrat's on the business.
Please what ever you do, don't change who you are, and what you stand and believe in. When you can count on 1 hand how many true friends that you have that is what you have in real life. Jill and the other woman if that is what you would like to call them all need to grow up, congratulations again, love you the most out of all...

Bethenny:

Thank you for taking the time to blog. With your new baby, Jason et al, I am sure you are swamped with work and family. I am a fan of your, and the show.

I loved RHONY up until this season. I am going to write to Bravo. They are now doing what every show does-create drama where there is none.

Jill (who I like) is being unreasonable, as is Luann. I know you and she had a fight but enough already. She should put her feelings aside and try and be a part of your new family.

I still think Kelly is a fake, rude, self centered, anorexic, coke addict. I will watch the show, but it will not be for her. While you seem to deserve your success, she seems to have fallen ass backwards into it. She modeled-big whoop. Her husband was a famous photographer. She fell in with the right people. That gives he invites to nice parties. She still isn't a good person. Duh.

Anyway, I do hope you read this (for what it is worth). You are an inspiration to all of us hot, smart, single, accomplished, women everywhere. ;-)

YOU CREATE DRAMA WITH YOUR "SNARKY COMMENTS" SO I LOVE HOW YOU SAY YOUR ABOVE IT ALL!?? YOU MY FRIEND HAVE NO CLASS AND CANNOT STAND ALONE YOU HIDE BEHIND SARCASM!

You go Bethany. You are my favorite on the show...hands down!

Bethanney Congrats on the Baby and Jason!!!!! Way to Go....
Please fix things with Jill. Maybe she is taking the "get a hobby" comment to seriously or maybe she really is hurt that you weren't there for her (in her eyes) when Bobby was ill, but I know you two can rise above this. She would sooo make the perfect Aunty Jill and I know she really does love and care about you if she didn't then she wouldn't be so bothered by the rift between you and she.

You do seem more Catty shall we say this season, but I know hormones of pregnancy can really mess with you, so we will chalk it up to that. Talk to Jill, the season for you and the other housewives is over, the filming is done, (for us it's just beginning hahaha) so just talk to her and see if you and she can patch things up. I know you care about her too, or it wouldn't bother you either. Or maybe it was all just for ratings?

I am so happy for your new happiness! You are a inspiration to so many young women like myself! Despite that I thought you were being a bit more mean rather than honest but hurtful this first episode! I still LOVE you and you are still my favorite woman out of the entire franchise! Keep up the quick wit and I hope your pregnancy continues to go well!

I'm really disappointed to see this side of you. I didn't think you were this type of person. Jill was a good friend to you. You didn't mind her when you were staying at her house and talking all of your problems through. You appear to be a very selfish and self centered person. As long as your issues are the focus you're fine. There's no excuse for how you act. You have a huge brick wall in your future and you'll be lucky if you have any loyal friends left to be there to pick you up after the splat. Ungrateful. Selfish. Childish.

First of all, when you said there's not one inch of your house that's not made of glass, I loved it. I live by that. I love you Bethenny! You speak the truth to people and they don't like it. Most people don't. They walk around with those crazy rose-colored glasses and a skewed sense of the world. When me and my friends get together and talk bout who's personality is your friend more like... They all say I'm Bethenny. I speak the truth, but would go to bat for true friends in a heartbeat. However, no time for drama and unfortunately, being that kinda person brings drama cause seems like people wanna go crouch in a corner in a fetal position sucking their thumb saying poor pitiful me. You know what.. If you're being an ass, I'm gonna tell you you're being an ass. I'm not always right, and I admit when I'm wrong, but dang. Come on people. I love you girlie! Congrats on the wee babe and finally finding that balance between career and relationship.

Bethenny--You are exhausting. Your stories sound like Alexis on RHOC. (Snore) Seriously..listen to yourself!!

Bethanny,

It looks liek you have the NeNee fever. It is never nice to be rude to friends.

Bethany, out of all the NYC HW, you are the most authentic, humble, beautiful, charming, & secure. Romona is crazy; Countess & Kelly are as a fake as they come; & Jill is insecure around anyone who she feels has more wealth, beauty, happiness, & popularity than she. Alex doesn't even seem to fit in @ all. Congrats on your pregnancy. You look beautiful!

I agree with your comment about pregnancy... you do change your perspective and it is a wonderful period to reevaluate relationships that work and don't work and to eliminate the toxic vibes you do NOT need distracting you in the next phase of life. Good Luck!

Way to handle your own, you go girl. It seems like the older everyone on any of the housewives shows get the more high schoolish they get!
You did ruin the surprise that you are preggers but I forgive you because I can't wait to find out how you and your new love handle it!

Don't read the comments. It'll come to no good.

But if you can't help yourself Bethenny, you should know smart self confident people appreciate you because you're smart and self confident. I wish I had your quick wit.
Best of luck to you.

Bethenny, you are my favorite housewife. I think you are more down to earth than any of the other women on the show in my personal opinion. Maybe you do have a biting tongue and the other women don't think that's "proper," but at least you're honest and you come out and say what you really feel instead of B.S.'ing and acting all Stepford. No offense to the other housewives, I'm sure they're all fabulous in their own way, but I really do feel like you're the one for real woman living in a group of Stepford wives sometimes. There's so much emphasis put on customs and propriety and appearances, but it's all so fake. I feel like everyone's hating on you already this season! Don't stop being who you are, and keep it real!
- P.L.

Yo Beth, You are right about Jill and LuAnn. It seems Jill turned on you because you were offered the GMA spot and you now have a guy in your life. About going to see her hubby in the hospital, I wouldn't have gone. I hate hospitals. If I were in her hubby's place, I wouldn't want anybody coming to see me. It's funny how people get soooo offended about little comments. Jill may very well need a hobby. Why get offended at that? Luann is wrong about expecting the inviter to pay for the invitee in whatever activity they partake in. A person should always expect to pay for themselves and bring money for that. If the inviter pays, then great, but it shouldn't be expected. LuAnn was rude to bring up if you were paying for the drinks. I'm glad you blasted her. If people want to bring up stuff, they should expect to have it out. I can't stand when someone confronts another person and then all of a sudden, it's an attack. That's it. P.S. I hope your voice won't become annoying this season. You seem to talking with a faster delivery and a heavier accent.

Motherhood is very humbling.. Looks like its a good time for you to become one Miss Bethany...

Bethanny:

YOU GO GIRL!!!! Keep doing what you're doing. Surround yourself with only the best and leave the rest behind. Your true friends will always be there, the rest aren't worth fretting over.

Congratulations on the baby and finance'.
