Until this day, no housewife has ever made me laugh as much as Bethenny. Her confessionals were so iconic. And her dynamic with Ramona and exasperation with her … Old RHONY is everything to me, everything. She can be condescending, problematic and shameless, but a bona-fide top-tier housewife.
This is one of the best episodes, the conversation just flowed perfectly I was hooked the whole time.
Mad respect for Bethany Frankel. She’s a survivor, and a warrior. When life threw her lemons, she made lemonade.
Love bethenny’s raw and honest answers - no wonder she is so successful now.
"Andy wasn't my boss." I LIVE
When I met her she was really rude but then apologized and said her anxiety was bad and then gave me a huge hug
Wow to see Bethany actually get teary-eyed and so emotional about her divorce that it was worse than her childhood that’s gotta be absolutely horrifying
You broke the cycle of generational abuse! BRAVO to you girl!!
THE BEST HOUSEWIVE EVER!!! They all laughed at her and then she stood there with her own brand SKINNY. She is worthy of everything. ❤❤❤
