The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 22 Recap: Bethenny Frankel vs. Carole Radziwill

It was the end of the line for Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 22 , as the two women admitted it was time to move on.  Radziwill was quick to reveal that Bethenny’s harsh comments about her in the confessionals were too hurtful to move on from.  “The season made it over for me,” she told Frankel on Wednesday’s finale. Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 Episode 22 Online “When you watch the confessional interviews, I’m seeing what you said about me. About not having a job, not having a husband…” “I didn’t understand until I watched the show and I realized I was really, really trying to salvage our friendship and you didn’t seem that interested,” Radziwill continued.  “And I only can imagine because you knew what you had said at all those confessional interviews.” “I was trying all season to come back from this,” Radziwill said of Bethenny’s comments.  “At the end, I was like, ‘Thank god we’re done with this season. Thank god we can go back. We can just regroup.’ And then I started watching the show…” All of the above suggests that Radzwill was on board for another season of the Bravo hit, but it looks like things changed once she watched the season back.  Bethenny’s comments “made me sad but also angry,” the departing cast member said. For Frankel, Radziwill was just as bad what with her blog post and Instagram live to bash Bethenny.  “The season would not have made it over,” Frankel said. “The bashing with the blogs and the bashing with a friend made it over. … It was really mean.” Bethenny continued to claim that Carole had changed and that was the reason for the dunking of their relationship.  “You’ve changed too,” Radziwill fired back. “You’ve become catty and gossipy. I didn’t change. With this being Radziwill’s final episode, she did open up about her biggest regret: Not patching things up with Frankel.  “My regret was that Bethenny and I could never get to a place where… I thought maybe by the end of the season we would be speaking and then reconnect,” Radziwill said. “Because that friendship was important to me. And that never happened.” “I wish that we had had some kind of conversation so we could have put it into context,” she added. “It was just hard. I tried. That’s my regret, that I failed.” At the top of the episode, Carole got into it with Andy. He was furious that she said he was “full of shit.”  Andy has the power to hire and fire on this franchise, so he was likely shocked at the way she spoke to him.  Carole claimed Andy was scared of Bethenny Frankel, to which he replied: “Yeah, I’m scared of her.” It was ridiculous, but the most telling moment was Andy asking Carole about her regret from the season. “Is yours telling me I’m full of shit?” he said with a serious look on his face.  Could this be the REAL reason Carole is out of the series?  As for the way this reunion concluded? Tears. Lots of tears.  Bethenny turned to look at Dorinda upon being asked what her biggest regret is, and said the following.  “My biggest regret of the season is if I did say, ‘a drunk’ — because you and I heard it the same way when we saw it on TV — but if I called you ‘a drunk,’ I regret saying that to you on television.” “Thank you, Bethenny,” Dorinda replied while crying. “That actually means a lot.” “But I will say for the record, in the moment, we both heard it: ‘You’re drunk,'” Bethenny added. “But anyway, I own what was on the show, and that’s fine, and that’s my regret.” “Um, I think — that actually means a lot to me,” Dorinda said, pointing at Bethenny.  “It’s so stupid — it’s at the end of the show,” Dorinda continued, before meeting Bethenny for a hug. “It means the world to me.” “I tried to be as compassionate as I could while I was there,” Bethenny replied. “And I saw it, and I was like, ‘Oof,’ you know? I really did.” Dorinda then admitted she could not answer, and Andy moved on to Tinsley.  She admitted that she was mad at herself for shouting “Shut your mouth and shut your f–king legs!” at Sonja.  Sonja claimed she also regretted “opening that wound” with Tinsley.  And that’s another season in the can!

Carole Radziwill Doubles Down: Bethenny Frankel is a Bully!

In real life, Bethenny Frankel is mourning Dennis Shields , both in private and in public. On the The Real Housewives of New York City reunion , however, she’s been facing off against her frenemies. Carole Radziwill accused her of bullying her now that they’re no longer friends. Some RHONY fans took issue with her accusation, and Carole took to Twitter to defend herself. Who is right? Towards the end of The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10, Episode 21 , ex-friends Bethenny and Carole did a postmortem on how their friendship ended. “What she does is, she creates this narrative, this false narrative about me,” Carole accused. “This false narrative that I’m some girl who’s this, this and this.” “It’s completely false,” Carole said as she aired her grievances. “Half of it is lies.” When Bethenny interrupted, Carole said: “Are you going to continue to bully me, or am I going to be able to speak?” Multiple times, Carole doubled down on her accusation that Bethenny is a bully who has been bullying her. “Let’s stop using the word bully,” tweeted a fan. “These women are getting paid a lot more of money to be on this show. It’s a choice.” The fan points out that, in contrast: “When children are getting bullied in schools or People for being different are harassed. That’s bullying.” Carole replied … and shared that she disagreed. “I get your point but don’t belittle what is happening here,” Carole wrote in her tweet. “[Obviously] I can handle it but kids need to know…..mocking someone and talking over a person is an intimidation technique. I.e. Bullying 101.” “If they learn to stand up against that,” Carole wrote. “The bully won’t be quick to escalate it.” But fans weren’t letting Carole off of the hook. “You need to think carefully about the word bully,” a fan tweeted. “You haven’t been bullied at all. You both don’t like each other. You both said hurtful things. Move on.” The fan cautioned Carole: “Don’t undermine others that have had their lives ruined by bullying by saying what has happend with you and Bethenny is bullying.” “No I disagree,” Carole wrote. “We need to call out even the smallest infractions as bullying. Only this way we can change the dynamic.” Carole continued: “Just like the # metoo  movement is calling out ALL inappropriate actions. Men will pause next time they reach for a girls shoulders to rub. Change happens slowly.” Fans remained unconvinced, and continued to try to explain to Carole that bullying refers to a specific dynamic between perpetrator and victim. “So where’s the power differential in this situation?” tweeted a fan. “Where’s the intimidation? Where’s the fear? Where’s the helplessness?” Carole is a rich white woman who is related to royalty. Her potential pool for who could conceivably bully her is pretty narrow. “She has a choice,” wrote another fan. “Bullied people don’t have a choice. It was an argument between two friends that aren’t getting along right now.” This is a very complicated topic. A lot of terms — especially buzzwords — get thrown around and then misused until they’re all but meaningless. Most people would look at two former friends who are no longer again and say that they are feuding. One says cruel things about the other? That’s feuding. In contrast, the only Muslim kid at a middle school isn’t “feuding” with some mean kids on his bus. A gay child isn’t “feuding” with the classmates who tell him to hang himself. At the same time, is the definition of bullying as narrow as these fans suggest? Perhaps there are different types of bullying. Language is complicated, and both the literal meanings of words and the connotations of those words can evolve over time.
