Jewish Journal not a BGM fan

Article from the Jewish Journal.

Let me begin this blog by saying that I think Bethenny Frankel is mortifying, and should no longer be on television. I watched her wedding, and wished her well, but seriously people, this chick is out of control. If you love her, just don’t read it. It’s probably best.

I’m not saying anything about her wedding because it was her special day, and good for her. The peeing in a bucket, whoring herself to the paparazzi, being rude to her new husband, self-absorbed outbreaks, and overall nastiness will not be commented on by me.

We arrive in St. Barts with Bethenny and Jason for their honeymoon. God forbid this chick does anything in private, so here we go. Her voice is grating in my nerves and I can’t help but think that the piecing screech of Jill would be welcome right now, if got Bethenny to shut up.

They decide to take a swim and Bethenny strips down and jumps in naked. How is it possible that Jason was annoyed she would walk around in a thong in front of Max, but she can strip down in front of a cameraman and skinny dip? This show screams, “watch us! we’re fake!”.

Bethenny is complaining about how ugly she is, and Jason is being charming. He calls her Mamma, which is sweet. You forget for a minute that he is a celebrity whore just like her. Sidebar: A reader of mine wrote to say he has already moved out of the house. Interesting.

An animal of some kind has wondered into their room and pooped on the floor. She is freaked out and thinks she might puke. Really? Wait until your baby starts projectile vomiting while having diarrhea. This chick needs a reality check and I’m not sure she can handle it.

Jason is waxing her stomach and all I want to do it shut off the television. This chick is out of control and nothing reads authentic about her. She is an annoying caricature and incredibly rude to her husband. I think he’ll be out of there pretty fast, or he’ll stay and be miserable.

They are talking about babies and have no clue. They are incredibly unprepared for what their lives will become. You can love your baby more that anything on the planet, but that does not make it any easier. Raising kids is hard, and it gets harder with every year.

Jason is taking a wind surfing lesson and Bethenny has another fake cry episode. She is a poser. I don’t buy it when she cries. She is always complaining about how hard her life was. Blah, blah, blah. I think Bethenny has created stories in her head, which she now believes.

Question: If Bethenny’s mother is so horrible, why isn’t she talking smack about Bethenny for money? It makes no sense. Perhaps her mother is mortified by her daughter, and wants nothing to do with her? Maybe Mommy Dearest is more classy than trashy.

We are now going to spend forever watching Bethenny and Jason eat. For ten minutes, we are watching them eat, with nothing to really say to each other, and both of them so aware of the camera that you half expect them to turn to the cameraman and offer him a taste.

They are at their last dinner in St. Barts and I’m bored. It’s the same thing over and over because they have nothing to talk about. The entire time, Jason talked about how he wants to be involved. Cut to New York and Bethenny is doing everything for the baby’s room without Jason.

She selects every single piece of furniture for the baby’s room, without Jason. This chick is just not cool, or interesting, or nice. I think that is the bottom line with Bethenny. She is simply not nice. She is selfish and garish and I really hope there is not a follow up to this show.

We’re now back in therapy listening to Bethenny complaining. Does she think she is the only woman to have a baby? Get married? Have issues with her parents? She’s a loon who lives in Bethennyville where the only thing that matters is Bethenny, which is not that cute.

It’s yet another naked photo shoot with Bethenny. I’m going to go fold some laundry and make a cup of tea. I’ll be back in a minute. Okay good. Bethenny is at a doctor’s appointment and surprise, surprise she decided to let Jason go too! So sweet. Whatever.

Next week the baby comes. It will be interesting to see how she makes the birth of the little girl all about her, and not at all about Jason or the baby. She tells Jason the baby’s room is apple green and he is surprised. It’s sad that he finds out she did it all without him, in front of us.

I wonder if Bethenny’s mother was at her first wedding. I’ve gotten emails from people who know Bethenny from childhood and think she is full of crap. We’ll never really know and it’s okay
