#WWHL With Bethenny Frankel And Jeff Lewis

April 6, 2017 by tamaratattles 22 Comments

I am so excited to recap this episode of WWHL because anything can happen with these two. There are lots of poll questions tonight. First up they talk about Luann not inviting anyone except Dorinda to her wedding. Andy asks if Luann should have invited everyone. Jeff says yes because they have been friends forever. Jeff either doesn’t watch the show, or doesn’t realize these women are not really friends or is just being Jeff. Bethenny said she had no expectation of being invited, she thinks she would have been caned if she went. The people answering the polls are twatwaffles. Jeff says the person that almost broke up the wedding should absolutely be there. Oh, Jeff is going to be salty with Bethenny. This makes my day. Even though I am trying to start off the season liking Bethenny. There really are things I like about her. Ramona has already irked me on the very first episode. I’m trying not to hate everyone except Luann and Dorinda, but dayum it’s hard. 


They show one of Luann’s promotional interviews. Which reminds me of a story. I used to like this comedian named Steven Wright. He was the king of deadpan ironic humor that was in many ways sort of philosophical. He was, and likely still is, a comic genius. I actually didn’t watch a lot of TV back then but I tuned in to several talk shows he was on in a short span to watch him. He said the same thing in every one. This was the beginning of my realization that all the major talk shows pre-interview their guests and they know the questions and their answers before the show even starts. Even more shocking to my young dumb self was that they say the exact same things on every show. Steven Wright was not being deadpan and psuedointellectual on the spur of the moment! It was all scripted! Mock me if you must but there are still people here who believe Sonja Morgan dated Prince Albert of Monaco.

Anyway, Luann’s spiel on every talk show was about the clip in the preview trailer for RHONY where Bethenny is doing the ugly cry pretending to give a shit about Luann and her relationship. All of the interviewers who watch the show pointed out that Bethenny has been calling Lu a whore and trying to derail her wedding ever since it was announced and clearly she hates her. The interviewers themselves mocked the scene. Luann said that Bethenny had a really awful marriage and an even worse divorce and she thinks she was just projecting her feelings onto her. Sidenote: I haven’t heard the concept of projection throwing around this much since my graduate school days. Seriously. Hardly a day goes by here when someone isn’t an armchair psychologist or some sort of adjudicator of moral standards.

Anyway, Bethenny says “Poor Luann, her fiancée is projecting his penis on to other housewives.” Which basically proves everyone’s point.

Amdy shows a clip from RHOA’s finale and Sheree’s housewarming party. I had forgotten her attempt to make everyone wear masks. Because a masquerade housewarming party makes perfect sense to Sheree. 

Bethenny is on a lot of whatever stimulating product she ingests.

Andy asks Jeff a speed round about the new baby, Monroe.  Gage changes most of the diapers. Monroe is going to call Zoila grandma. Awwwwww. Gage is best at getting her to stop crying, he’s a helicopter dad. They are not ready for another child. Andy asks if he is glad he did it. He says yes but if you would have asked him a couple of months ago he would have said no, but they are at the good stuff now. Side note: she’s just over five months.

Bethenny also had a speed round. The first thing she bought with the money from her old apartment was another apartment. Carol is a full on cat lady. Bethenny says that Ramona telling Dorinda she enjoys hanging out with John now was total bullshit. She says it is understandable that Dorinda doesn’t want to utter Sonjas name in a conversation. Bethenny believes that Ramona called Tom’s exes for dirt on Tom because “she’s very bored.” Apparently so was Bethenny last year when she had someone tail Tom to the bar and then called the bartenders to get all the sordid details of his actions.

We seem to have a kinder, gentler Jeff tonight. I blame Monroe for this.

Before the show there was a premier party for RHONY Jeff went, but Bethenny stayed home to make cupcakes with Brynn. She says the rumor that she didn’t go because of Jill was false, she just wasn’t interested in going.Do we believe that?  Jeff said Tom was very nice. He said Ramona was bitching about the alcohol situation. She threw a fit and left. He didn’t get a chance to talk to Sonja or Tinsley. I pause to see if Page Six has anything about Ramona’s tantrum. Not yet. But she was on a podcast recently trashing Jill Zarin because that never gets old. And they claim that Kelly Bensimon was asked back and declined the offer. I don’t think Kelly would turn it down. She literally does nothing but travel and post in tiny bikinis on the Internet these days. Carole cut her hair. Bethenny says Carole got her haircut. So basically she got Luann’s haircut.

Someone asks about Ramona’s new face and Jeff and Bethenny both just kind of blew off the question.

Bethenny is asked if she will ever be friends with Luann. She says she likes Luann. (cough bullshit cough) she says every time they take two steps forward they take several steps back like they did this week when she was promoting the show. Bethenny says Luann is very happy with Tom and she likes seeing her happy. Jeff thinks Bethenny did the right thing by telling Luann about Tom kissing another woman.

Next, it’s a sneak peek at Luann confronting Sonja for putting negative things about her and Tom in the press. She was directly quoted. Sonja basically says Tom is cheating on her and she doesn’t trust him. She’s unapologetic. Luann says that Sonja wanted to be with Tom and maybe she feels like she missed the yacht. The photo below sums up a lot of people’s opinion about this season of RHONY.


They did the poll about Tom cheating that you can see above.

Jeff is asked if he was stranded on an island which one housewife would he bring, Basically lists his favorite housewives, Kyle, Shannon, Tamra, Lisa Vanderpump and some old ones, Dina Manzo, Kim Zolciak and Ramona just for the hell of it. I will never understand how he is friends with Shannon Beador. He adds Nene and Cynthia as afterthoughts.

Jeff talks about Jenni’s pregnancy and says she’s doing great, she’s at seven months. He says that Kim Zolciak has actually been his biggest support with the baby. He said she was constantly on the phone with him giving him great advice and talking him off the ledge. She sent him tons of products. She was amazing. Jeff gives the impression that the whole baby thing isn’t as great as he thought it would be. Maybe he has postpartum depression. 🙂

Bethenny is asks other than her own, whose tagline she likes the most and the least. She likes Ramona’s the most and Luann’s  the least.

Jeff said he’d like to see Jill Zarin back on the show. Andy says that Alex McCord is going to be on the show with Ramona in a couple of weeks. He says she is a therapist. I hope when she gets there she will put that rumor to rest. She got a degree in psychology or something. She is not a practicing therapist. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing her.

I was told to watch the after show where Jeff goes in on someone, so I’m going to give it a quick watch.

Brianna’s husband Ryan from RHOOC calls in. He is still stationed in Oklahoma “waiting for his medical discharge” how long has that been going on? Is that marriage over? His question is also about marriage and when Jeff is going to marry Gage. Jeff says it will happen eventually. I’m not so sure about that.

Bethenny says her dating life has hit a dry spell. Hmmm what happened to the married guy? Her driver is in the audience and Andy didn’t believe Bethenny so he had to vouch for her. Bethenny basically says that her driver is the one that knows everything about her. I get that. But it’s still kind of sad. Andy says there are more rich guys with private planes falling all over Bethenny than any woman he knows. Bethenny says it’s true but she just needs a break from all of that to focus on her kid.

Bethenny says her relationship with Sonja is good this year. Andy talks about the Mexico trip where they get really drunk and something happens. I am pretty sure the makeout sesh was on the teaser reel so I am not sure why he is being so secretive.

Jeff Lewis hates Heather Dubrow and is thrilled she is not coming back to RHOOC. Jeff believes that Jax was having sex with his Florida sugar daddy back in the day. Because, duh. Jeff admits that he at times avoids his parental responsibilities and Gage catches him doing it.

    Bethany puts the B in bitch. As soon as Andy asked about the new tagline, I knew she would like LuAnns the least. Maybe there is some truth to her being a bit jealous of Lu’s happiness. I almost wish she could film with her daughter just to see if the Wizard gave her a heart. It sounds like Gage is the main caregiver in every way for their daughter. As she gets older I am sure Jeff will enjoy Parenthood more.

      I don’t get this bit, maybe if Tom had never been caught sucking face with some chick after sneaking out and leaving Luann at home in bed, and the relationship with faithful, I could understand a woman being jealous of them.

      But why would Bethenny or anyone be jealous of someone who has a man who couldn’t even behave himself before they got married and publicly humiliated his fiance? Bethenny’s actions are irrelevant to that fact, I hardly see a man who acts like that as a catch and marrying him something to be jealous of. I would never trust him.

      I think she knows that. That’s why she refers to herself as “the B”. I’m convinced that Carole was smart enough to buddy up with the Top Dog to stay “full-time”. We all see how that helped Cynthia with Nene. I would love for Jill Zarin to come back. Bethany has too much pride to leave the show because of Jill. Season 10 is right around the corner.

    So Jeff is experiencing the not so fun aspects of being a daddy and realizes that it’s not all fun and games and dress up. I really like Jeff but he’s a narcissist; they don’t do well when the focus is not on them. Good thing she has Gage and Zoila.

    Someone on Twitter agreed with me about Bethenny being quite stimulated on the show and provided this FB video she shot before the show as further support.

    Here’s the link if you are interested.

      I’m not sure what your point is/was? Over a 1000 lovely comments. Is she hyper, yes but she has always been that way. Not sure why you have to go the “using” drugs thing all the time with her.
      We got enough of that shit on RHBH don’t you think?

        Saying some one is all up on Adderall, a legal prescription drug, is a lot different than some bitch accusing you of doing cocaine (an illegal drug) in your bathroom.

          She didn’t accuse the Bitch of doing cocaine, the lovely lady asked a question.

          Except that if you’re taking adderrall, which is just prescription speed, for legit medical reasons like adhd/add, you shouldn’t have that jittery effect. Your dose should be such that you appear normal, not stimulated. People taking it recreationally are usually the ones visibly bouncing off the walls lol

          I don’t see a huge difference between someone abusing legal adderrall or illegal coke, aside from the legality. Maybe B is on drugs. I have no idea, but I tend to think not just because she has always been this way.

      All that fish lip puckering and batting her eyelashes and shifting around in her chair, yeah I agree. I wonder what happened to Dennis who she said wanted to marry her in a minute.

      I need an adderall after hearing about her day. Hopefully ‘Clark Kent” is a dialed down version of SuperB for Brinn’s sake. Bettheny is entertaining and exhausting.

    I want Jill back. She was fun until fame got hold of her. Maybe she has learned that fame is fleeting and not real since she is supporting her husband as he battles cancer again.

      As for Betheney being over stimulated, it could be diet pills, Adderall or Wellbutrin . IDK. I was on Wellbutrin and I lost a lot of weight but I also lost my freaking mind, no joke. Love to be that skinny again but not with those side effects.

        Or…..maybe you haters just want to accuse her of something that doesn’t exist. I worked my ass off……… hours of work and even more raising my kids. Being so very hyper was what got us through. And yeah….. 90 lbs being the norm. Working my ass off………no drugs. The hate/lies that is spilled ………… fuck that! Just being mean and hateful about someone doing the best they can.

    Again looking forward to all your recaps as I don’t know if I could stomach Bethany. You know, bravo should pay you for all you do. Sometimes I watch a show just because of your recaps.

    Well shit, I have always liked Bethenny and still do. However, I couldn’t tell you why exactly, just that I do! (Kind of feels like I’m on the island of misfit toys.)

    I love when 2 people who just love themselves more then any one else can get together. I enjoy Jeff and find it a bit amusing that he is not enjoying parenthood as much as he claimed he would. He leaves and doesn’t come back when the baby is too much? Who does that and then admits its it? Only Jeff…lol and he still despises Heather Dubrow Hahahaha… Love it!

    Bethenny sure seemed to have fun before the show, She and Andy looked “real as fuck” (as some would say) in that fb post. He truly loves having his precious “top money-making HW” Bethenny on his show. Whatever happened to her man does anyone have the real scoop? She seemed so happy with him last season. I find it hard to believe she decided it was over but you never know with her as she is the ultimate “Head Bitch in Charge” Maybe he didn’t like her wearing the pants in the relationship anymore.

    Thanks again TT from many Canadians who wouldn’t know “what happens live” if it wasn’t for you XO

      I’m betting she “gets back” with her boyfriend after filming stops. And Gage has been patiently waiting for that engagement ring he said he wanted seven years ago. When the therapist asked Jeff what he liked most about Gage, Jeff rattled off the same attributes Ken Todd gave about LVP at her party two seasons back — dependable, loyal and a hard worker — what you’d say about an employee.

    I would like to tune in to see Alex. She is not a psychologist and he is not a Lawyer but they don’t correct people when they call them that. Anyway, I think she would make a fantastic therapist. He always gave me the creeps but he makes her happy so meh. Anyway, glad you watched this and recapped for us. Both of these guests plus Andy on one stage..whoa big huge ego on stage surprised they all fit! All three probably tried to talk over each other thr whole time. Its so cute Zoila is the grandma!

    Some people can’t resist the urge to smash pumpkins, pop balloons and rain on parades. They also are known to piss on cornflakes frowning their way through life.
