Bethenny, you rock girl! I am so happy for you! I hope you put things a lower gear and take time for you and your family. dont overload, to avoid moments like thanksgiving??? mmmmmyes, your shrink is great! i wish i could have my own! Bryne is beautiful, you can see jasons eyes in her....you and alex are the only two of that show that are level headed, genuine and sincere. i do think that somewhere along the line, you should make small bit of time for Jill. not as a HABIT, but just to enjoy a lunch and then let the months roll by. there was love there and honestly, i do know understand you were very hurt. she is like what sonja is becoming, getting caught up in the fame. continued success to you and your family!

Betheny, you have alot of excuses. I am not sure on where you and Jill stand but you need to forgive her. Maybe you need to change

Bethenny,
What kind of advice would you give to one of us -so called statistics-, that has been divinely inspired with an idea but does not know what to do with it or how to get it out there.
What are some of your secrets to starting your own line, except with zero capital and no marketing skills?
Thanks,
Ohmi

I love you Bethany:) I wish i'd have been on that cruise w/ you ladies... Cause i truly would have taken that lunatic and thrown her overboard!!!! I do have to say that you handled yourself with class. I don't know how i would have acted if it had been me in your shoes?!!!!
She's a wierdo!!!!

Congrats on your prenancy! You are going to be a wonderful mother& wife:) Love ya and best wishes:)

Hi Bethenney

I watch the show every week, the two real lady are you and Alex, the rest of them they not impress me it all. They are to loud to be on the show. Good luck, for what you wish for, be happy.

You are awsomne! Its seemsto me that you and Alex are the only ones who do not backstab and think you are better than everyone else. Lov ya!

I do believe at times that there are situations added strictly for more drama for your viewing audience. It sure does keep us watching. After the one episode of Betheny and Ramona walking over the bridge, I need to say this to Betheny. This MAY be the first and last time I ever write a suggestion. Please get for yourself a book called "Boundaries." You need it. Written by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. Set up your BOUNDARIES girl, so you won't get hurt by others. Ramona never thinks before she speaks and looks so foolish on TV. There is a 5 second rule she should use. Before you talk, count to FIVE and gather your thoughts and speak slowly. You may never have to regret speaking out of turn. I do hope that Betheny will read this blog. She is far more normal in real life than some of the others. In fact, ALL the Women and Men should get this book. Being married for 30 years; I NEEDED this book so much. It has helped me with my marriage, my relationships with others and also with my three sons. I will say that all the women on this show are very pretty and quite intelligent. They have a lot to offer the world. Thank you for the time you took to read this blog. I hope to hear from you at your convenience. From Chicago to you in New York; WE still have the best Pizza in the WORLD!!!

I love you and I am soooo happy for you. Who's life falls in line like this. You go girl!

I just watched the "tell all" episode and have to say that Bethenny, you are fantastic!

I am trying to remember your saying - it was something like "make --- your motivation"

stay fabulous!

congrats on the engagement bethenny!

Betheny
Just want to say love ya you are crazy. I can't wait for a new season. Take care.

So I heard that Bethanny tried to get her book published through Nautilus Press but they didn't take her on as a client! I'm trying to get my book published with them but if they didn't even take on a celebrity client, I don't know how I will. They're so exclusive! Bethanny is so funny and I just started her book and I am loving it!

Bethenny,

You are proof to me that the truth really does set you free. I love what I just read in your blog... literally sparks came out of your words and lit something in me. I am honored by your authenticity. When you talk about artificial sweeteners, I mean I thought I was crazy because I was just telling my trainer that it seems crazy that I can't put at least some real sugar in my coffee - that's the only sugar I purposefully have. He was telling me to drink diet sodas only and then to drink these protein powder drinks with a lot of additives and I have been feeling so depressed and bloated. Its kinda like I am trying to lie to my body by tricking it and its backfiring as lies usually do. I am going to get your book because what I hear you saying is I am not crazy. So I will check back with yah FOR REAL. **Can you tell your publishers to print the same book but gear it to guys!!** (might say I am buying it for my sister) not kidding. I'm gonna give it to my trainer when I finish reading it and fire that lil bitch!

Bethanny,

I just wanted to say how much I am LOVING your book. Although I haven't finished it yet, I am at least feeling "lighter", like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders b/c finally I feel YOU GET IT! I have bought so many diet books, delivery meal plans and have always at the end beaten myself up for not losing the weight or rather keeping it off. We're close in age & the years that I have waisted on my diet struggles and night time binges makes tears come to my eyes. I know I am finally on the right path using what you've learned and now live by....my skinny girl can finally shine again someday soon. THANK YOU AGAIN YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!

I haven't been a follower of the NEW YORK HOUSEWIVES, but I am now. Can't wait to watch the new season. ROCK ON GIRLFRIEND!

I must say that I loved you on the RHNYC show, and now that I've read your book and learned more about you, I love you even more! As a woman who struggled with both anorexia and bulimia for close to ten years, I can identify with the turmoil of always trying to achieve the perfect body through irrational dieting, unhealthy behaviors, and excessive exercise. I had read a book, "Overcoming Overeating" which really changed my life and perspective on all things food-related. Many of the ideas are the same as in your book. Love your body, love yourself, care for yourself, eat when you're hungry, eat only what and how much you truly want, and you will return to your naturally HEALTHY weight, not SKINNY weight. (The use of the word skinny was perhaps the only fault I found with the book....skinny isn't always healthy!)

PLAIN AND SIMPLE, YOU GO GIRL

Hi, Love you on the show.. Why did they add Kelly to the show???? She's such a phony & sneak. She wants everyone to think she's this nice sweet person.. You can see right through her. She LOVES the attention, thinks her shit doesn't stick. Don't trust her. Stay close w/Jill, she seems like a really nice person. Good luck with you book. Take care, Theresa PS Please take Kelly off the show, you guys don't need her on it. Did fine before she got aboard.

Love you. Wish you much success with ALL your business venues. Look foward to next season and I am getting out to buy UR book this weekend.

Dear Bethanny!
My name is Josephine I live in Israel and thanks to you I like the show very much. It is refreshing to watch you because you are so sencere and honest. YOu are realy the best , you are the real countess. Thanks for your dieting tips and I hope that your book will be sold in Israel as soon as possible I cannot wait to buy it . Again thank you very much. (I am sure you will find mr. right because you really are mrs right).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU. you are my favorite and you're such a strong beautiful woman<3

Hey Bethenney,
I first learned the “taste everything, eat nothing” catchy phrase from the Scarsdale Medical diet book, some twenty years ago. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you cant’ really take the credit for this rule.

Betheny, Hello. You and Jill are definitely my favorite on the show. You are just straight up and that is refreshing with so many back stabbers in the world.

I havent been able to get your book, but I want to check it out. I have been overweight all my life and have tried to get help and nothing works. I am afraid sometimes that I will not live long enough to beat this addiction of food. I wish there was an inexpensive way to get help for this problem. Thanks for giving some hope to some of us.

To viewer Dwala,
I read your comment and it brought sadness to my heart. I lived in Texas for 18 years. (father is retired Military) I had to leave my family in search for better opportunities. I left when I was 29 years old. If I could go back, I would have done things differently. I can't! I hope your daughter finds something she likes in Texas, where she can make something of herself let alone support herself.
Bethenny is an inspiration, but she is living in New York where there is a ton of opportunity. I know that, it is where I moved to. I do however regret leaving my family. I feel like I broke a bond with them no matter how much I call them.
Please make it in Texas!

I Left New York 6 years ago to Move to California...I regret it. I feel stuck right now with the economy.

I recently saw the lost footage and I loved your trip to Fire Island.I loved watching you have such a great time...I don't think I've ever seen you so happy and you really let loose. Good luck with all your endevors. Just edit what you say now and then...It will keep your foot out of your mouth.

I went to Brookfield Square Mall, in Brookfield, WI (Barnes and Noble) specifically to find your book and it wasn't there. Can you tell us where to find your book? What stores in otherwords does your book get sold at? I would have that Barnes and Nobles which is one of the biggest book dealers here would have sold it.

Please advise as I have a vegetarian boyfriend and I am looking for that type of a cookbook.

Hi Bethenny,

I hated RHNYC before I watched it. I thought it was stupid and anyone who watched was stupid. By accident I watched one day. Now you are my hero!!! I'm from TX where everyone is polite and nice; so when I saw you handle your business and how you live your life with such honesty and integrity I was in love. Not with you...with what is possible for my daughter who is 26 yrs. old. So, if you see this comment, I'd love for her to come hang out with you for about a week and get some life lessons. She doesn't get what's possible. I try to get her to watch the show to see you and Jill. You two are my favorite but you are my FAVORITE. Love you strength and spirit and fight for life.

God bless you in all your endeavors.

Hi Hun! I hope this message reaches you.I just love you! You are my favorite cast member of ALL the the shows! I am a Cali girl.......I also really liked Jo from the Orange county show. Anyway, I am reading your book right now (who isn't). Love how you throw in the random recipes for us! Thanx! :))!
OMG! I just love your wit and humor! I was rolling when you were on that blind date (french guy I think) I was LMAO!!  He just didn't get your jokes....LOL!  And, was pretending like he did!. So, I don't normally do this sort of thing. But, you are just one of those people that I'll look at and say.....I could be her friend.

So, I just wanted to express to you how adored you are.We appreciate you! Oh! love when you make fun of Jill's voice! Sooooo funny. You are so authentic and real!I also share the same "Father trauma" that you do. So, watching you heal really hits home with me!
I better go.....would love to here from you :))!

~~Gina~~

Bethany - as a Jersey girl transplant in CA, I was thirsty for someone like you to watch on tv. My friends around here think I'm a bit over the top, but once they saw you, they got me! Love that you're direct, passionate about what you do and turned it into your profession. I had NO IDEA you had weight issues but can relate to you 100%. Your commentary on the book is very sensible and I would be honored to buy it as soon as possible and hopefully read more of your Bethanyisms

Rock on, girl!

I would just like to start off with, you crack me up. You're one liners and sarcasm are the best part of the show. I can totally identify with you in so many ways, and I'm sure that's why I like watching you and the show. I too am from NY, had a bad childhood, and I'm still single at 42, lucky me (oh,and a Jew from LI). I watch the show both new and repeat episodes, because it brings me back to NY, and I miss it very much. You have so much going for you and I admire how strong you are and how accomplished you've become. My sarcasm sometimes gets me in trouble, not everyone knows how to take it, so I've had to dumb it down a bit and soften the edges, but I do still have my NY Jap moments and watch out when I do. I'm going to check out your book, as I'm a skinny girl trapped in a chubby girl body, so, I figured hey, what could it hurt, right?? Thanks for making me laugh and smile. Mazel Tov on the book!

I absolutely adore you Bethany. Out of all the housewives I think you are cute, perky and fun but most of all I believe that you are honest in your assessmet about situations that have arisen during the show. I'm so glad that you have been successful and the rest will come. What man would not be proud to have you as his wife and the mother of his children. You might be small but I think you are mighty and you've kept me laughing all season. I felt bad when you cried and didn't like that you had your feelings hurt. But as always you pull throug like the trooper you are. Keep up the good work. Luv u.

Hey skinnygirl
I think the show without you would suck and would be cancelled. You make the show fun and love your personality. keep doing wat yer doin bethanny.. Ohh also i wish you would have dotted Kelly in her eye. That boy/girl is cuckoo crazy.!!! anyhow keep it up ohh you should spell skinnygurl
instead of skinnygirl... woohooo!!

I really feel that Jill and Bethany and the reasons to watch Real Wives NYC. They are hilarious even when they are fighting.

On the other hand Kelly and Ramona need medication. More Kelly than Ramona. This woman is seriously bi-polar. I believe that she DID attack this said boyfriend, and something is going to happen involving her with tragic results.

Now Ramona. I've wondered if she needs the meds and because her husband enables her she has never been diagnosed. After this season of seeing her husband in action I am more convinced than ever. Hopefully they never break up because she will completely come undone regardless to how strong she says she is. And her daughter will end up taking the brunt of everything.

Bethenny, do not change a hair on your head. You are beautiful, have a fabulous figure, you have made your own fortune because of your cooking talent and ability to put healthy food together. Your one-liners are so funny no matter what K says. She is so intense, has no sense of humor. As the jewelry lady said to Kelly when she and Jill came into her store "you are beautiful, can I be you?"

Hello Bethenny. I must say you are my favorite "housewife". You are honest and straightforward. I think you're so cute and have a funny personality, you crack me up. I wish you much success in your business, but most of all .... I hope you end up adopting a child or two, if you don't find the right guy. You would make a terrific mom!

Also, I must say that "yes" Kelly is from another planet. She was saying that you were highschoolish, excuse me but she's the one that is. I so didn't like it when she kept telling you stop, stop, stop, stop, when you two were in the bedroom trying to make friends, ugh. What does she think you are, her child, PLEASE!

well i do have to say i have watched all the seasons and you do have alot to say about everyone behind their backs and when its time to confess u change it all around to benefit yourself you start fights with others and always are cryin about things....listen to kelly when she says big deal let things go......you need to relax and chill....its not the Bethany show!

Bethany, you are a class act. I only wish they were all like you!! You have so much to offer a man and will someday.

Kelly talks out of both sides of her mouth. In part 2 of the reunion she was crying about her fertilizer boyfriend. How did that get forgotten so quickly?
I always say that no one can tell you how to "feel". Our feelings are a result of our nature, our experiences, circumstances etc. You just can't reason with an incoherent person and yes I mean the infantile-I-dont-want-a-tissue Kelly. The audience is smarter than any of you will ever know and none of you need defend yourself. We see it exactly as it is....no explanation necessary.

BETHANY,
ALL THAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT YOU; BRILIANT APSOLUTLY BRILIANT. GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES
PAUL

bethann and jill are the most sincere women on the show, especially you bethanny with your quick wit, and humor, you know how to sock ramona and that kelly person right in the knees. you keep up the good work, i wish you all the best in all your endevours in life and in love....can't wait for the next season..you go girl..

Bethenny honey!!!

I LOVE you! You and Jill are my favorite, even LuAnn -- though I agree she has the "put down" well rehearsed. You three make the show. Ramona adds that nice crazy-factor every show needs. But freaking Kelley needs to be pushed off of her high horse [literally AND figuratively speaking, HA!]. She really does kill the show. Biggest headache I have ever seen. I cannot wait to read your book, I have always struggled with the weight AND i just turned 21, so I need those Skinnygirl drinkie drinks!! Again, Love you, hate Kelley. Go YoU.

<33

I LOVE this show and ALL the ladies are great for being so real and honest. Bethenny, you are the best, I LOVE your quick wit and street smarts! You are very insightful into seeing a person's TRUE character and not afraid to be vulnerable in front of America. I look forward to buying your book......you go girl!! I also know you know truly have a great and true friend, Jill. In this day and age, finding a true female friend is like finding the Hope Diamond. Also, if interested, it may help you accept an altered perspective of Kelly if you are even interested by reading some info about histrionic.....she could be the poster child!

HI,

I THINK YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON. I LIVE IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND DOWN HERE YOU COULD PASS FOR A TRUE SOUTHERN GIRL!!!! YOU ARE ELEAGENT BUT YOU DO NOT TAKE ANY SH?# FROM NO ONE. YOU HANDLED YOURSELF PERFECTLY WITH KELLY. I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. YOU HAVE CLASS.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. AND I WANT TO GET YOUR BOOK. I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH WEIGHT GAIN FOR 6 YEARS NOW. I HAD 2 BACK SUGERIES AND I CANT EXCERISE THE WAY I WANT TO AND SHOULD. SO I NEED TO GET THE EATING RIGHT UNDER CONTROL,YOU KNOW BY EATING RIGHT. IT IS VERY DEPRESSING TO HAVE WEIGHT WHEN YOU ARE NOT USE TO HAVING IT. AND COULD YOU TELL ME WHERE I COULD BUY YOUR FOOD. CAUSE I HAVENT SEEN IT DOWN HERE.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU NEXT SEASON.

Bethenny,

I think Kelly is a SNOB!!!!!! She acts like she is high & mighty..She really is not even pretty because of her attitude...Kelly is not even true to herself so, how could she be true to anyone else. You would think after she watched the shows she would be ashamed of herself!!

Keep doing what you are doing you look great, Good luck with everything you have going on in the future!

Hope to see another season next year!!!!

Bethenny-
Love you! You are my fav! You make the show worth watching. I so get your humor. Kelly is crazy. I have watched your video clips on healthy eating and they are great! Can't wait to get your book!

Bethenny do you really think that you are Mother Teresa??? You are the one who looks down on everyone else!!

Bethenny, you rock, you are beautiful and you have accomplished so much in your life. I'm sure you will find that special man very soon.

Hi Bethenny,

You are my favorite cast member. I think you have more class and integrity than any of the other cast.

The two who I could do without is first, Kelly and then Ramona.

I'm alone too. I'm to the point that I don't even want to meet a man. I was married for almost 17 years and it isn't all what it is cracked up to be.

I'm happy with myself. I love myself. It isn't written anywhere that a woman has to be in a relationship with a man to be whole or to be happy.

If it is meant to be, it will happen.

Luv you sis!

A New Orleans Lady!

I never thought I would watch this show but my GF likes it and I don't watch tele... I must admit, since I have, I think your very inspiring. Best of luck and success for years to come!

Bethenny, I agree with the other posts, you Rock. I think you should have your own show. The things you say make me laugh. Romona and Kelly drive me nuts. I enjoy how you tell it like it is. Very refreshing and funny.

bethenny. you are by farrrr my favorite house wife! you and jill crack me upp and you say everything that i would. good luck on your career and future love! and dont settle for anything less than exactly what you want. forget about kelly too by the way... shes an airhead who needs to get a life. i couldnt believe that she called you that one night to just tell you that you ladies were not friends... im pretty sure you already knew that. what a weirdo. haha. soo just keep your head up cuz your great! lol
