Jules Wainstein Regrets Her Comments About Bethenny Frankel

Jules-Wainstein

I was absolutely loving Jules Wainstein during her first few episodes of Real Housewives of New York. She gorgeous, funny, and vulnerable. But then again, no one is perfect, especially on a reality TV show. And we all know that the second a person slips up and says something out of turn, that is something that will definitely end up on the show.

Needless to say, last week’s episode of RHONY was very awkward to watch. When Jules was discussing how rude Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel were in her Hamptons home,  I got vicariously embarrassed for the woman. I adore Jules, but I just knew that she was going to receive a lot of backlash for an offhand comment that she made the second that I heard it. I’m sure you know what I’m referring to and the only good news here is that Jules knows it too. She feels horrible about it and is owning up to her words.

I know that I am not the only person who cringed when Jules said that she and her husband were “old money” and Bethenny was “new money.” Not only did it not make sense, but it was also a pretty antiquated reference to make. It was the first time Jules really looked bad on this show and to be honest I felt bad for her. I know that my reactions doesn’t really make sense, but I just knew that people were going to hate on her.

So of course, Jules addressed what she said in her Bravo blog: “The comment about Bethenny’s home, the ‘new money, old money’ … I was upset and felt offended about what was said about me, my life and my home, but it was wrong to say what I did, and I own it!” It’s pretty rare for a Real Housewife to apologize for anything, let alone to do so right away, so I feel like we have to cut Jules a break on this one. She is new to the reality show life. It seems like she is nervous most of the time when she talks on camera, so I feel like she just got caught up and spewed out something random.

Jules also wrote, “As I watched it on television, I was horrified and embarrassed–I wasn’t raised that way. But I was caught off-guard and felt hurt. We are all human and say things we don’t mean.” This happens to everyone. I don’t agree with the comment that Jules made, but it’s clear that Jules doesn’t even agree with her own comment, so let’s just all agree that it was wrong and move on without giving her even more of a hard time about it.

Jules even clarified how she really feels about Bethenny when she wrote, “After the one-on-one time I had with Bethenny, I did feel a connection with her and was relieved to get to know her better. She was very receptive, and I appreciated that.” It seems like it’s all good in the hood… well, at least for now.

I say stupid things pretty much every single day, but nobody is paying attention to me the way they are when these RHONY ladies talk. Let’s just let this one go and enjoy the rest of the season. It looks seems like this will be an exciting one!

Tonight is an all new episode of The Real Housewives of New York. Sonja unveils her “Tipsy Girl” to the shock of her co-stars. Carole invites the ladies over for a psychic reading that really hits home for Dorinda, but Bethenny isn’t having it! Tune in at 9/8c!

TELL US- DO YOU THINK THAT JULES TRULY SORRY ABOUT THE COMMENT?
