Bethenny,
I just watched Ep. 2 of Bethenny's Getting Married? & listened as you talk about your mother during your therapy session. When you described your mother, I thought, do we have the same mother? You described mine to the 't.' I used to visit her because I needed her (emotionally, to be physically near her). when I met my husband, I realized somehow I didn't 'need' her so much because now I know/understand what unconditional love is. Now that I have my own daughter (she's 5), I hope I never speak/treat my daughter like my mother does (or lacks thereof) me. I used to feel guilty about distancing myself from my mother, but I stay sane this way.

B-
Love you quick wit and biting tongue. So Kelly doesn't do verbal agreements- since her father is an attorney. She signed on and signed a contract to do a show she has never seen??? I find that hard to believe...did she not seek her fathers advice. She is emotionally and mentally stunted at a teenage level. She is like talking to somebody in junior high- who puts her hand over her ears while yelling....I can't hear you!!!! Also she went to Columbia???? Maybe she did a photo shoot on campus.....- no way she attended classes. If so, I want to see the transcript's. She is either on drugs.....or is so stupid....that is like a child who close their eyes and thinks others can't see them. What ever she is on please have her package and sell....I would love to be so detached from reality.......I think most of a America would like to live in Kelly land for awhile.....where cartwheels are priceless.....and you think everything is great. I am going to try and use cartwheels as payment for my VISA- since they are so priceless.......

Bethenny, my wife got me hooked on the show, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching you and Jill. The two of you made the show, and made it enjoyable. You showed your tolerance for ignorance, and true class, when you sat in the restaurant and listened to Kelly's blather. You are an amazing person, and both of us admire you. Keep up the good work, your book is great!!!

Bethenny,

You are incredibly fast paced, quick-witted, beautiful, and intelligent. More viewers relate to you than anyone else on the show. From my perspective, you are still "bachlorette status" because you intimidate men. Its as simple as that. In a lot of ways, it seems you are too much of a competition. Bottom line is, you deserve everything you have and you don't need a man or a child to top off your success. I'm so glad to see you achieve your goals. Its inspiring to me.

Kelly is an absolute idiot, but that was fairly easy to establish after our first glipse of her on the show. My advice to you is to shy away from making so many digs at her. Its a waste of your precious time and it casts a negative light on you. We all know shes self-important. Its almost hard to listen to her speak, it makes my skin crawl.

Don't indulge her, and always remember "THE GRASS IS NEVER GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.. NO MATTER HOW MUCH FERTILIZER YOU HAVE!" Whatever the F that means. She's obviously sprinkling the fertilizer in her grass and smoking it. My nick name for her is, "Hemisphere Tits", because her breasts are literally on complete opposite sides of her chest.

Until next time... Take care!!

Hey Bethany,
Bravo to you, your confidence and restraint! My husband and I agreed that I would have kicked Kelly's ass (at least verbally), after her condescending nonsense. Does she think she makes sense? I was so proud of you, you carried yourself with class and dignity, and although you had every right, you never stooped to her LOWER level. As my late mother used to say "You go girl"
We wish you every success. If your book tour comes through Kansas City, you should come to dinner. We can hang out!
Xoxo,
The Grays

I LOVED your book! Thank You for showing gals like me how to stop the insanity!

why are you on Real Housewives? You are not married and dont have children. Who do you know? And why do you always talk about everyone, like your the greatest?

I think you turned out great! Look forward to reading your books.

Hey Bethenny, you are a riot, and a beautiful woman-inside and out. I have to tell you, it makes me upset when Luann tries to talk down to you, AND when that whack-job Kelly pretends she's never met you before, and her inability to follow a logical, reasonable conversation. You are inspiring to me and I wish you all the success in the world.

Hi Bethenny,

You and Jill are my favorites also. You two are the only reason that I watch the show. Everyone else on that show seems so fake and are really hard to take. I love the way that you don't let the rest of the snobs change how you interact with people. Kelly and Ramona really have serious issues and I believe that they are jealous of you. Oh, and I can't forget the Countess! Just remember who you are beautiful,kind and funny, and the right guy will find you soon.

Bethanny, you are the best. Honest sweet. Love you. The one liners kill me. My husband can't wait for it to come on each week. You and Jill are the favorites. Can not wait for the sit down. Kelly acts like a valley girl.(A california bimbo). For acting so high class she is ignorant like you know. How bout her pompous talk about her boy friend. uggg
You have way more class than all of them. Stay true to yourself. Don't let the snobs get to you.

Bethenny,

I'm sure you're surrounded by people telling you how great you are, but really, you need to believe it. This show is just the beginning and hopefully we will be seeing/reading a lot more from you in the future. Please save some of your acerbic wit for a graphic tell all of your life experiences. You are a star and shouldn't stop creating until you come up with something truly GREAT. Don't burn out or waste your energy with losers. Thanks for making me laugh!

Bethenny, what a talent you are! Glad life is treating you well with your book and the exposure this TV series is offering. You have an enviable wit about you, not to mention your contagious sense of humor and then you top it all off with being drop-dead gorgeous. I admired your restraint and class in dealing with Kelly... who I believe needs some tutoring to see if there's any chance to raise that IQ of hers.

~girl come see me~ I live near louisville kentucky and we go to the Derby every year! ~gittie up~

Bethenny,
You are my favorite on the show and by far the prettiest one. You looked great ont the cover of the magazine. You show lots of class on the show. You will fine Mr Right soon.

Bettheny.....I am looking forward to reading your book.

You seem very sweet and endearing ...and you were right...that was a nasty comment LuAnn made about retouching...and you nailed her on it! Yea!

You are my favorite Betheny. You and Jill LOL!!! The pink dress looked fabulous on you for your Social Life Magazine shoot. Mr. Right is out there. As soon as they do one thing wrong: that is it. That's what my mother told me and I'm telling you she's right. Get rid of them and move on without a second thought. Ramona is wasting your time introducing you to a "friend." Don't inconvenience yourself by going to her house. Let them all meet you somewhere close to where you are if Ramona insists you meet this guy. Sure doesn't sound interesting at all and I'm sure you have better things to do with your time.

love you cause you are real and sorry for calling you a desperate hoousewive best of luck with everything

Hi Bethenny. I wanted to tell you that you're making your Pine Crest alums proud. Little did I know that my fellow Singing Pines chick would be making me giggle every week on Bravo. You make that crazy show so entertaining. Keep it up! And I just wish you could smack "The Countess" around... ugh. What a cartoon character she is!

So, be well. We're all happy for you and your successes.

I love your style and your attitude!

I love, love this show. All of you are so honest and in your face. Im from OC girl but enjoy this show.

Bethenny! I love your simple sense of style! You pull it off so effortlessly. You always look so put together..even if it is a pair of shorts and a tank. Can you please tell where you bought that rockin pink Maxi dress you wore to the Hampton Tea Party.

Like other comments... you and Jill are the bomb. You in Jill's wigs, with her laughing, was great. Oye!

Bethany you are the only reason i watch housewives...you are so funny and down to earth! Dont change for anything or anyone

Bethenny, in a video online, you referred to Wheeling, WV. I'm from Wheeling and am proud to call it home. How do you know Wheeling? I'm really curious!
Sally

NY Housewifes are really no different than the OC or Atlanta Housewifes. You all are shallow, self-centered caddy women who do charity work to cover up your shallowness.

I just have to reinterate that you and Jill are my favorite out of all the Housewife series. Both of you are caring, honest and real.
And you definitely don't need airbrushing!

You rock Girl!

You'll meet the right guy when you're least expecting it. Just keep doing what you're doing - you're a very successful woman. As for you feeling you're psychotic - join the club. I think all modern women must feel that way some or most of the time. We're pulled in so many directions and are so many things to so many people. Sometimes as you said you just need to concentrate on yourself - but as I'm sure you know it's easier said than done. Thanks for making the show a joy to watch. You and Jill are my favorites. Ramona is strange and Leann is disconnected with the real world.

I also watch the show because of you and Jill. I hope you remain life long friends. Remember to forgive each other - is to love each other! Don't waste time. Get on with the fun times adhead. I would love to see Brovo give you YOUR OWN COOKING SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Jill could geust star and mess everything up. (Love you Jill.) Maybe Brad could be your sur chief and give dinning & designing tips.

When and Where is your book tour coming????

TO:Bethenny- When people look at you in your face and tell you they are better,they really are saying;"I wish I could be you, but I don't have what it takes to be you and that why I don't like you. You make me feel bad about myself. I wish I had the self motivation to be an accomplished person in my own right like you." A self accomplished person never has to depend on others. They don't have to marry(old)rich men and ride their backs so they feel instantly successful. That is why LuAnn has to stress constantly that SHE IS a countess. I don't think her book will do well. A person who needs a book to learn about manners, is a person that doesn't care about having manners.OH!OH! and Kelly getting arrested for domestic volience can you say White Trash or Jerry Springer. THATS KARMA BABY! Schools out.

Bethenny, You are a joy to behold on this show. Such a beautiful combination of all things good about a woman, but with the frankness, honesty and humor more common to a man. I cannot wait to see what happens between you and Kelly. From the teasers, it looks like she thinks she's in a class above you, and you take her down a few pegs, as only you can and something she needs. I so look forward to Tuesday nights at 10 because of you!!

I love your style. Continue displaying the open free spirit that you have. It's great when a woman have a group of friends and remain true to herself and express her honest feelings.

You are the hottest housewife on all the "real housewives" shows and do not need any airbrush.

Hi Bethenny!

I watch Housewives only because of you! You are so real and beautiful and bring such a freshness to the show. I love Jill as well and I am glad that you and she are such good friends. I often wonder how you tolerate the pettiness of the others. Luann is so obsessed with being a Countess and "honored". That girl needs to get over herself already. Kelly, well, just yuck. I have always dreamed about being beautiful and glamorous but I swear, if that is what you turn out to be, I am so thankful for being "just a country girl." Simon and Alex, double yuck. I think they are really brother and sister..... And finally Ramona, God help us all, that woman has no filter.

I would love for you to teach me to cook and I am ordering your book tonight. Don't worry about a man, darlin'. Your fears are well-founded but when it is right, it will all fall into place. Hasty choices are never good. Good luck to you always and keep being true to yourself. You are an inspiration!

Can everyone give Alex and Simon a break? I am refering the next to last episode so far. They do not need to explain anything to you about why they went to the Hamptons and why they prefer St. Barts....and this is for Jill, they never said they "hated" the Hamptons, it is simply not for them. So what I have to say to you Bethenny is "get over yourself".

You are so adorable! You and Jill are the show. Love you guys

I first saw you on the Martha Stewart Apprentice Show. I was impressed with you then as now.
I appreciate your humor (I'm a Southern Girl that has mixed with you Nawtherner's for the past 40 years.) Probably your best line was in regards to "re-touching" - great one!
The Countess has her own sense of measurement as to right and wrong, good or bad manners (not always correct on all) but CLASS??...Class is something you either have or have not. You have class.

Bethenny,
I adore you, I do not know if you have any afro american friends but you are the coolest of all the ladies. You and Jill are my favs, the two of you keep it real and we like that no fake stuff. Luann had better check her self for real you looked great on the cover of that mag too. Keep working it girl!!

I LOVE YOU!! I find you down to earth, straight forward, gorgeous and one tough cookie all in one package! You are hilarious. I love to watch you and Jill. I have seen you and Jill on Oprah and that "invterview" just proved that the two of you are sincere. I would love to hang out with the two of you, you are my kind of peeps!The other womenn seem snooty, but that may just be tv ratings at their best. I wish you all the success!

Bethenny is my fave housewife of all seasons. And she doesn't need any retouching! : )

I am a middle aged man who absolutely hates reality shows, but I can't stop watching you guys. I think you and Jill are my favorites, and I agree with you about the airbrushing remark by Luann. I think it is kind of funny how highly she regards herself for being a "countess." I can't wait for the next episode.

Love you girl! You're funny, considerate, kind, loving and very beautiful!

Bethenny, I think you're aces and I really enjoy the show but tell me, how do you keep from laughing? You're all hysterical lunatics. You're the only person I know, perhaps on the planet, that can say they've have a friend (a very special one) tell them "When you introduce me to people, don't introduce me as Luanne, introduce me as the Countess de Lesseps". That's so real. Thank you!

Bethenny,

YOU ARE THE COOLEST WOMAN EVER! You are my faverite housewife and I love your one liners! I totally see how your feelings got hurt with the situation with LuAnn at Hope Lodge. You are beautiful and you earned the cover of the magazine. You and Jill are hilarious. I adore both of you. She seems to be a true friend to you. You will so end up with the greatest guy ever one day. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being single. xoxoxo BETHENNY! YOU ROCK!

Bethenny , I love the way you handle yourself on the show. You also looked Beautiful in the photoshoot for Social Life Magazine . I loved the Long Pink dress with a small train , purple dress , Black & White - Please tell me who all the designers were for that shoot. As far as the So Called Countess (only by marriage she would never become one any other way , she doesnt deserve to publish a book she needs to learn some of her own manners . We think your Great & Beautiful !

Bethany you and Jill are wonderful, you do not know how funny the two of you are together. I watched you on the Bonnie Hunt show and got to know a little more about you and Jill. I love the show when Jill's mother was giving you advice I had tears in my eyes. Keep up the good work you came very far and worked very hard for were you are now. You don't need anyone.

Bethenny, You are TOOO funny. The DIScountess is an awful example of what is PROPER. She is a bull in a china shop and you are a wonderful breath of air. Love your authentic nature and your brilliant wit. I am so happy for you...as are your FRIENDS. Luann is SO jealous of you...what a shame. Stay your beautiful self and DON'T take to heart wicked comments that are ALL ABOUT envy. You rock.

Don't worry your doing great. Luann seems to be a bit Jealous lately of you. She should practice her etiquette more cause she's really lousy at it. Elbows on the table, talking over others, lying, spilling food on herself. I think you and Jill together are so much fun. Your like sisters.
