Bethenny Frankel is sure glad she escaped Turks and Caicos early. Of course if Bethenny had been there I doubt a naked random would have been found sleeping solo in her bed.
“Well I certainly left in the nick of time. Turks was the trip that never ended. I’m renaming it #JerksinCaicos,” jokes Bethenny. After watching all the drama go down, Bethenny, who is friends with both Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps, is on Team Countess and feels Heather Thomson and Carole overreacted.
“So Carole gave me the recap that the Countess is back. I respectfully disagree. The old ‘uncool’ countess doesn’t say, ‘Be cool’ when naked men are throughout the house,” the veteran Real Housewives Of New York star cites. “Luann’s only issue was that she felt her friends were ratting her out trying to catch her doing something. Her issue wasn’t that she was trying to hide whatever took place for the eight hours prior to that moment. There is an important distinction.”

“I like this Cool Countess way better. In a way, I’m the old Countess because I’m Switzerland on this one,” quips Bethenny. “I get being alarmed by a naked man, albeit not to the point of dramatic sobbing. I also get Luann’s perspective. Phew. I dodged a bullet on that trip by leaving.”
“And while it was crazy, I came back liking everyone,” admits Bethenny. “Hell, I’d be crazy enough to go away with them again. Maybe it’s me who has changed.” Well – there’s always next season, right B?!
While Bethenny may have dodged a bulled in T&C, she didn’t escape unscathed on domestic soil. After thinking she and Kristen Taekman had found themselves in a Place Of Yes, where understanding was concerned, Bethenny’s drama queen antenna perked up when she learned Kristen had talked about her in the press.
This irks me – I mean c’mon – Bethenny knows all the Housewives talk about each other in the press. It’s pretty much a requirement for promoting the show – and she knows Kristen didn’t say anything demeaning. So while Bethenny is calling out Heather for overreacting, she is guilty of it herself. Oh well, it’s all fine now!
“Thankfully, we made it back to New York to a jeans party where we can potentially stab each other with ice picks, which Luann and Heather wanted to do to each other, staple gun each other, which Dorinda and Heather almost did, and hot glue gun each others’ mouths, which I almost did to Kristen,” teases Bethenny.
“I’m sensitive to people commenting about me in the press. I have enemies to do that. I don’t tolerate it from people that I know,” explains Bethenny in her Bravo Blog. “My issue was that Kristen acts as if she is very green to this process when that isn’t accurate. She has done many interviews and been on many red carpets. What she said in quotes wasn’t kind. I read it, and I know its context. This happens to be something I do have a lot of experience with. Glad we could move on.”
Finally Bethenny addresses Dorinda Medley‘s meltdown and says all the ladies are pretty much guilty where F-bombs are concerned. “That Dorinda dinner was nuts. They all curse like drunken sailors, and Luann acted like some innocent prayer circle girl,” Bethenny complains.
“I totally got what Heather was saying and was backing her up. Dorinda likes to get sauced up as much, if not more, than her saucy Housewife friends, and late at night she gets sensitive, paranoid, and lashes out,” continues Dr. Bethenny. “This is what happened here. You have to just ignore it and move on.”
“Of course karma or irony got in the way one episode after Dorinda told us in her interview that she drinks with the rest of us but she stops. I love you, D, but I hold everyone and myself accountable and that is simply untrue,” reminds Bethenny. Gotta agree with B there!!
