Recently an article popped up on the NY Post were a “media observer” (Jill’s minions?) spewed out that it was all Bethenny’s influence that got Jill fired and that not only is Bethenny a master manipulator puppeteer, but also PT Barnum. “She had done a reality show, with Martha Stewart’s ‘The Apprentice,’ before any of the other housewives, so she was always 10 beats ahead,” this so called insider also states that Bethenny slept around to get ahead. “She dated WireImage’s photographer Kevin Mazur and made sure to get pictures on the red carpet before anyone knew who she was. She is the best publicist-marketer-hustler I’ve ever seen. She is PT Barnum. But the sad thing is the amount of people she’s thrown under the bus to get to where she is.”
The same insider also states that Bethenny is in the habit of chewing people up and then spitting them out when they are no use to her “One of the lessons that Bethenny could stand to learn is that a lot of times when she doesn’t have a use for someone, she lets the relationship fall by the wayside and then they burn her,” When Jill was asked what she thinks about Bethenny’s brand her response was “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to launch a brand,” then she adds “I hope she sees [the bad press] as a mere bump in the road and chalks it up to a lesson learned. Everyone makes mistakes but it is how you handle it that defines you.” Really? Really bitch is that how YOU handle things?
Jill The article goes on to says that Bethenny is a big pain in the ass “Being around her is like having chest pains,” and adds that Bethenny likes to scream a lot and keep everyone on edge “She is a horrible, horrible screamer. Every person around her is feeling the anxiety. She goes from 0 to 60 in a second. You open the door, and you have no idea. It could be a storm, it could be a dozen roses.”
And to stay relevant and in the spotlight former cast member Simon van Kempen put his 2cents in and said that Bethenny is “quite a troubled soul,” Simon states that him and Bethenny didn’t always see eye to eye, but he still fells she is being unfairly criticized “Bethenny and I have certainly had cross words back in the three seasons when she was on ‘Housewives,’ ” he says. “She’s a very forceful woman, very opinionated. But it’s a bit cowardly for people to come out of the woodwork now when she’s had some bad press and kick her when she’s down.”
And according to another gossip columnist Bethenny knows how to pull the strings and manipulate Andy who apparently she’s had in her pocket for the whole time she’s been working for Bravo because supposedly she gets special privileges “she pulled Andy’s strings like a master puppeteer,” the same insider states that Bethenny’s days are numbered and that Miss Bravo and the rest of the Bravo family are getting sick of her and about to pull the plug. “The minute she stops being viable for Andy and making money, he’ll walk away from her just like he walked away from everyone else,” the insider also includes that people on Bethenny’s payroll are getting tired with her demands “More, more, more, mine, mine, mine.” And supposedly the producers feel Bethenny has worn out her Bravo welcome. “I hate to say it, but as one of the producers from the show told me: ‘We’re just hoping it’s going to be, “Bethenny’s Getting a Divorce?” says the insider. “Because how long can this go on for?”
