Bethenny Frankel Says She Doesn’t Exercise

Bethenny Frankel built a whole brand off of the desire to be thin. When we first met the Real Housewives of New York star, she was peddling muffins in a gourmet food shop. But the natural foods chef quickly pivoted when she noticed a gap in the alcohol market. She created the Skinnygirl brand with a signature drink – a low-calorie margarita, bottled up and sold at your local liquor store. It was a smash and Bethenny got rich when she sold the brand in 2011. Now Skinnygirl makes everything from alcohol to deli meat.

Which shows you just how big the market is for those who want to get thin or stay thin. But the five-time bestselling author is now sharing her current beliefs on staying healthy. As reported by Page Six, Bethenny recently made a TikTok where she told fans that sleep and happiness are more important than staying thin.

She stated, “So I don’t exercise. I do what I can when I can. I’ll snowboard if I can, I’ll surf if I can, I walk on the beach whenever I can, but I choose [to] sleep first. Sleep is the No. 1 priority.” Bethenny added, “And being happy is one priority.”

The former reality tv star admitted that when she was in her 30s, she was “always on a diet,” despite being 20 pounds heavier. She shared of her food choices at the time, “I was always good and I was bad and it’s the sauce on the side and steamed.” Bethenny then referenced her 2009 book, Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting. She talked about the book explaining “food noise.”

Bethenny went on to say, “I eat what I want, but I don’t ever binge, and I don’t work out. I don’t do weights. I believe in balance.” She then noted that she “believes in” sleep, French fries, alcohol and “not being crazy” over diet and exercise.

Fans of the philanthropist expressed gratitude in the comments. One user wrote, “I’m 37 next month. You have no idea how badly I needed to hear this.” Another commented, “You have taught me so much about the idea of balance. Diet culture has just distorted our perception of food and what it means to be healthy.”

Bethenny has previously acknowledged her issues with food and diet in the past. She wrote in 2009, “Growing up in an extremely dysfunctional and toxic series of households bred me for an obsession with food and diet and weight. I was in an obesity clinic in third grade because I was slightly chubby. I was on every single diet known to man from that age until about 33 years of age.”

Joe And Melissa Gorga Reportedly “Laugh About” Cheating Rumors

Bravo has yet to announce the premiere date for Season 13 of Real Housewives of New Jersey, but the anticipated storylines are sure to deliver. The season finale has been largely spoiled since we’ve all heard that bombshell rumor about Melissa Gorga allegedly cheating on Joe Gorga by now.

According to Page Six, the gossip about Melissa made it onto RHONJ thanks to the Garden State bone collector, Margaret Josephs. According to the outlet, multiple sources have accused Margaret’s longtime friend turned enemy Laura Marasca Jensen of stirring the pot by accusing Melissa of kissing actor Nick Barrotta after a night out in New York a few YEARS ago. My my.

Sources close to the actor “strongly denied” the allegations, while another insider called the rumor “ridiculous” adding,“[Nick] has been in a relationship for, like, 14 years, and they’re all friends.”

Laura has admitted that she doesn’t know whether the rumor is true, but she is 100% certain that The Marge has been running her mouth about it. “I was told about this [by Margaret], who was not even there, herself,” she explained. “She told me that someone told her who was there that night.”

Laura claims she and Margaret were friends for decades and spoke about the rumor “a while ago” when they were still friendly. Laura kept the secret and even admitted she does not think Margaret was sharing the rumor to ruin Melissa adding, “She was gossiping. It’s what she does.”

The secret made its way to the Bravo cameras after Laura reached out to Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin in February of 2021 to better “align” herself for a spot on the show in Season 13. Classic. Apparently, the women had a four-hour conversation about “life” and Laura thought it was a great time to share the rumor about Tre’s least favorite sister-in-law.

“My intention was never for anyone or their families to be hurt,” Laura tried to claim. “The intention was for me to talk to Melissa alone and let her know what was being said about her because I felt I was probably not the only one that knew. I didn’t think Margaret only told me [the cheating rumor]. It had nothing to do with being on-camera at all.” Just a concerned citizen!

The existing RHONJ cast filmed their Season 12 reunion in late March, so Tre and Jennifer did show some loyalty by keeping the secret despite “all the Housewives” knowing what was going on behind the scenes…I guess.

Page Six is now reporting that the rumor has finally risen to the surface, blowing up the Season 13 finale filming event. According to the outlet, a source close to the Melissa and Joe shared, “They’re laughing about it.” They expressed that the very idea of Melissa and Nick having a tryst is “ridiculous” adding, “[They’ve] all been friends for years.”

According to the insider, Melissa and Nick have always hung out in group settings and that Joe is a good friend of the actor. I personally can’t imagine Mel or Joe knowing anyone famous and not posting thirst traps, but alright.

Sources close to Nick revealed that the “Divorce Court” star is “shocked that someone would make up something so nasty in an attempt to destroy two families.” Imagine traumatizing someone famous for their time on Divorce Court. The gall! Through it all, Laura says she “stands by her truth.”

“I never said [the rumor] was true. I said I was told by Margaret that someone saw that. I never said that Melissa did that.” Whatever, hun. This is friend-of energy at best.

Sources close to Laura claim that she has auditioned to be on RHONJ a whopping three times until she got desperate. “She went to two people who didn’t like [Margaret] crying to them and telling them all these stories,” they revealed. “Things with an ounce of truth, she twisted it. So were Margaret and Melissa ever out with these guys? Yes. Was there ever any kissing? No. No one made out with anybody.”

The cheating rumors are reported to come up on the upcoming thirteenth season of Real Housewives of New Jersey thanks to Jennifer Aydin bringing them out on camera. Bless this mess!

Shep Rose’s Ex Taylor Ann Green Wants Andy Cohen To Set Her Up With Tom Schwartz

Things seem to be done-done between Taylor Ann Green and Shep Rose from Southern Charm. According to People, during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Taylor confirmed she is no longer with Shep.

When she was asked if things are amicable Taylor responded that she’s not planning to foster any kind of relationship with Shep moving forward. “He wants to be, but that’s having his cake and eating it too. So, no,” she told Andy Cohen. “I’m not about that. Not for right now, at least.” You go girl.

Taylor admitted that she doesn’t “assume” Shep has been entirely faithful to her during their relationship. And that was not including the infamous stairwell kiss moment discussed during the show. She also seemed unimpressed that Shep included details of his previous hook-ups with Kathryn Dennis in his latest book.

And though Taylor says she’s not dating yet, she may be about to take us down a path of yet another chaotic Bravo cross-over rebound. During the WWHL episode she told Andy about a  crush she has on none other than Tom Schwartz! The girl has a type. Color me impressed she found someone less employed and even more scuzzy??

Andy asked Taylor if there is anyone he could set her up with from the Bravo universe, to which she replied, “Blonde Tom.” She added, “I met him at NBC and Friends and he was just a doll. He’s very lovely.” Andy seemed pleased, and said they will likely cross paths at the upcoming Bravocon.

Tom Schwartz is also newly single and literally always ready to mingle. He and Katie Maloney announced their divorce following Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules.

“Katie & I are separating. I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D’ word because it’s too painful,” Tom wrote in March. He added, “Fully respect[s] Katie’s decision and we’ve had healthy, productive conversations about it. It would be far sadder if she decided to stay with me whilst not happy.”

Tom and Taylor are both set to appear at Bravocon in October. Andy Cohen will almost certainly be arranging a meet-cute following his excitement at Taylors admission during WWHL. Are we staring down yet another rebrand/cross over?

90 Day Fiancé Recap: Tell All Part 1

Last night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance was entertaining to say the least. For a group with so many issues, they seemed to have a lot to say about everyone else. It was like the battle of who is worse off. I was surprised some participants were so confrontational. But I have to admit I enjoyed every moment of it. This episode was so messy.  I can’t wait for Part 2 because it looks like things are just getting started.

The cast of 90 Day Fiance Season 9 comes together to relive their biggest moments and hash out unresolved dramas. This includes a surprise first for 90 Day. Jibri spent more time being confrontational with everyone else than he did on resolving his own family issues.  Shaeeda throws shade when Bilal’s ex joins the conversation. Let’s get straight to the recap.

Emily, 29 (Salina, Kansas) and Kobe, 34 (Cameroon)

Emily and Kobe now have two children. Their second child is a beautiful baby girl. Emily is now a stay at home mother while Kobe works outside the home. There isn’t much revealed in this episode, but I’m sure a deeper dive into these two are coming. Throughout the season they had some serious issues. It was evident to anyone who can read I don’t care much for Emily. So I am looking forward to learning more about their post season life with two children.

Patrick, 31 (Austin, Texas) and Thais, 25 (Brazil)

Since the show ended, Patrick and Thais are no longer living in Dallas. They moved shortly to Las Vegas shortly afterward. In addition, Thais is 16 weeks pregnant with her first child. They were both shocked because Patrick thought he wasn’t able to have kids due to his past steroid use. She took multiple tests and got confirmation from the doctor before revealing the big news.

Thais still has issues with jealousy. She has trust issues because Patrick cheated on her while she was in Brazil. Apparently, he lied and said he was training another woman, but actually had a sexual relationship with her.  He claims it was very early on and he didn’t consider them in an exclusive relationship yet. Thais found out this information on the day they got engaged.  According to Patrick, he can’t even check his direct messages on social media unless she is sitting next to him. Later, Patrick’s brother John joins the cast to shake things up. He ends up having words with messy meddler Jibri almost immediately.

Kara, 29 (Charlottesville, Virginia) and Guillermo, 23 (Venezuela)

Guillermo and Kara surprise everyone revealing that she is 16 weeks pregnant with their first child. Despite her current state, she is put on the hot seat for her controlling nature with Guillermo. She is doubles down by saying he acts like a child at times. While challenging Kara, Patrick gets triggered and says her behavior is representative of American women. What the hell? Did he really just say all American women are controlling? Guillermo admits that he doesn’t feel like Kara reciprocates the respect he gives her.

For the some reason, the producers decide to be messy and bring out Kara’s high school boyfriend. Are they serious? Why even give this clown a platform? Clearly he is seeking clout getting on TV insulting Guillermo. Jibri is so annoyed by the whole situation he tells Kara she upgraded from her ex and calls him Ozzy Osborne. I have to admit that was funny. There was no point in bringing that guy to the reunion. Luckily, that ended as quickly as it started.

 

Bilal, 42 (Kansas City, Missouri) and Shaeeda, 37 (Trinidad and Tobago)

The topic of the prank Bilal played on Shaeeda about his house is revisited. Shaeeda explains she was hurt because when he would visit her she would treat him like royalty, she was shocked that she arrived to a van and worn down house. Many of the cast members felt that he overreacted to her playfully hitting him in the car. Some of the cast, like many of the viewer’s feel he was always putting her in a position to be tested or her motives to be questioned. Patrick even accuses of Bilal of using sales tactics to manipulate people.

Bilal’s ex-wife joins the cast to set the record straight on several topics. She admits she wanted a divorce because she felt like he acted like more of a father than a partner.  Although Shaeeda admits she sees some of the same patterns in her current relationship, there is still some obvious tension. When she is questioned on why she won’t even look at Bilal’s ex, she explains she has felt hurt and disrespected by her.

Yvette, 48 (Albuquerque, New Mexico) and Mohamed, 25 (Egypt)

Yvette claims that since she and Mohamed have been married he has loosened up a bit on his traditional expectations of her. He no longer judges her on her clothing choices. He credits his new mindset to understanding American culture more. But as they continue to talk, the cracks begin to show very quickly. It’s clear they still have a long way to go on working on their relationship.  Mohammed admits that his family still gets upset about some of the pictures she posts on social media.  It looks like things heat up on Part 2, when a special guest arrives to give more insight.

Ariela, 30, (Princeton, New Jersey) and Biniyam, 31 (Ethiopia)

Ariela and Biniyam are now married, but they still have some of the same issues. The only difference now is that he has a green card which will allow him more freedom. Many of the cast members call Ariela out on her jealousy. She readily admits that she has that issue, but wants her husband to communicate more. I was shocked at how Jibri was so aggressive towards Ariela and Biniyam. He not only argued with her at every chance, he told them their marriage wouldn’t last. Sigh! Sadly, Biniyam is so non-confrontational that he just sat there as another man verbally attacked them. Despite him not being one for words, I think Biniyam would make Jibri opening his mouth in a fight.
