In case you were wondering, Carole Radziwell is done with Real Housewives of New York. Done. Season 10 of the show brought us the frightening boat trip in Colombia, Carole running in the marathon, and Dorinda Medley’s drunken heckling of Luann De Lesseps’ cabaret show (Jovani!) Most of all, fans remember the slow, torturous death of Carole and Bethenny Frankel’s friendship.
Fans still do not know exactly what fracturedBethenny and Carole’s friendship. It seems that Bethenny was jealous of Carole’s friendship with Tinsley Mortimer. And then, there was a dispute about Carol’s ex-boyfriend, Adam Kenworthy. You know –the guy that Carole had sex coffee with when he stopped over.
Of course, Bethenny was joking that the ladies were “wanting to poison” her. Perhaps that “joke” was only directed at frenemy Carole Radziwell. But now, Bethenny’s allergy is no laughing matter. I wonder if her health struggles will be part of RHONYSeason 11, which is set to debut on March 6?
It always feels like Christmas morning when a Real Housewives of New York trailer drops. The RHONY ladies consistently strike that perfect balance of craziness, friendship, laughter, and drama. This show deserves an Emmy!
Last season mainly focused on the deterioration of Carole Radziwell and Bethenny Frankel’s friendship. Luann de Lesseps got arrested in Palm Beach. Tinsley Mortimer also took the ladies out for a boat ride in Cartegena that almost turned deadly. What will Season 11 bring us?
Then, she became unconscious. Now, she credits her boyfriend, Paul Bernon, with saving her life. It sounds like he is a good man to have around in a crisis!
Mr. Feathersby (was that his name?) and his assistant met their demise on this week’sReal Housewives of New York alongside the friendship of Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwell. It’s been a slow death for this duo, played out mainly in talking head interviews and passive aggressive commentary. Usually Bethenny is the clear heavy hitter when she decides to tear down a cast mate, but Carole has the wit and vocabulary to give her a run for her Skinnygirl money!
I’m not going to lie (and I’m sure I’ll get a lot of heat for it), but I have been a tried and true Carole fan since she joined the show. However, this season she’s turned into, well, a Bravo “housewife” completely caught up in her own world, ready and willing to participate in all the petty drama. Perhaps she learned from Bethenny, who has been making petty drama her job since she burst (back) on the scene. Either way, their feud has been a long time in the making if only for the fact that Bethenny sabotages every relationship she has. If someone is as “strong” as she perceives herself to be, they become her competition, not her friend. It’s at that point she focuses on the Sonja Morgans of the world to remind herself that she is superior. It’s a whole emotional case study, and nobody has time for that!
In her latest Bravo blog, everyone’s favorite #BeCoolCountess dishes on dueling brunches, ladies’ night out at Beautique, her visit to Ramona’s apartment, and Bethenny Frankel‘s unwelcome run-in with Kelly Bensimon on this week’s episode of the Real Housewives of New York. Commenting first on Ramona Singer stealing a dress from Bethenny’s talk show back-in-the-day, Luann de Lesseps says, “Ramona does have sticky fingers when it comes to that, though. Looking back, if you remember a dressSonja (Morgan) was buying in Season 2 and how Ramona asked to “look at it” and ended up at the checkout line with it…She took it right out of her hands! Oh, Ramona…you really are a piece of work.”
As for Brunchgate, Luann maintains that one can never have too many brunch invitations, dahhhhling! “You know, I figured having two invitations to two brunches isn’t that bad of a problem, so if we went to both, we’d make everyone happy.” Lu loves Bethenny’s Hamptons home, herSkinnygirl-sponsored meal, and free giveaways!: “I really like Bethenny’s Hamptons house, and I love the red accents! Her brunch was a classic breakfast with, of course, great cocktails. B was great to entertain me and my guests with all of her SkinnyGirl flair. I thought it was really nice of Bethenny to give us some parting gifts. I took some energy bars but kept it simple and didn’t grab her appliances. Tacky much?” She’s talking to YOU, Radzi. “To each her own…” says the countess, adding that Bethenny also sent her a blender a few weeks later anyway. #wheresthefreetoasters?
I'm not going to lie, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the previews for next week's Real Housewives of New York with Aviva Drescher telling Heather Thompson that she felt raped by the way Heather had treated her. To say I was appalled was an understatement. Imagine how horrified I was to watch Aviva on Tuesday's Watch What Happens Live, and, when questioned about her accusations by a caller, she said it was no bigger deal than to have people make fun of her prosthetic leg. Even Andy Cohen looked like he wanted to crawl in a hole! I'm going to go out on a "limb" here, but likening your hurt feelings to being raped is absolutely disgusting and is in no way comparable to someone making fun of a fake leg–and I wanted to tweet that to Aviva, but I was too much of a chicken. 😉
Anyway {steps off of soapbox}, I am happy to holla' with Heather as she schools the Vassar grad in all things Webster's in her Bravo blog. Heather also calls out RHONY's version of theJerseyKims, beginning, "Bye Mindy. Or was it Amanda or maybe better Minion? I just don't understand why this woman has so many opinions about people she doesn't even know — but I wish she would stop sharing them because we just don't care. (She was so annoying that Jon actually thought she might push me too far and stepped in, just in case. But, she didn't. I kept my cool and I would never hit someone — especially a someone who can't even stand up straight.) Reid has her back, so maybe he can walk his dear friend to her car while his lovely wife Aviva threatens to 'Defame me.' Yep, next in line. I actually think the two of them plan this stuff."
