Are we ready to forgive Will Smith? Bethenny has made up her mind. Do you feel the same?
Plus, the new Instagram algorithm— love it or hate it? Bethenny has a theory on the REAL reason why celebs don’t like it. Sorry, Kylie, B’s on to you.
I think Will Smith's apology is honest, is beautiful, and people have. People make mistakes, and I have made mistakes. I have overreacted so many times. I have regretted aspects of my behavior so many times. I've never done anything quite as public and drastic as that. But I'm also not a public person with the magnitude of fame that Will Smith has, and I've never been on a public stage that big, that large. Uh So I forgive Will Smith. I think he made a mistake. I think he's suffered. I think he's been punished publicly. He really really was taken down to the sticks. I think it's a relevant Jada's participation in it or not. I think she's gotten dragged and he's a he's a grown ass man that makes his own decisions. And I personally accept Will Smith's apology. Okay, So Whitney Cummings, who I like and peripherally know. We text and we know each other in this business, went on Kelly and Ryan to talk about the Hampton's because I guess she spent time in the Hampton's and Kelly is a place in the Hampton's, and I think Ryan spends time here. I've been with Ryan in the Hampton's. Um so when he commons goes on the show and she goes on for a while about that, like people are driving may Box my box to farm stands to get fresh fruit, meaning like you know, really expensive Mercedes to go get fresh fruit. Meanwhile, the douche Bags and the Hamptons don't drive my Box, so that's off brand. They drive vintage land Rovers, Broncos, definitely some range Rovers they do like you know, I'm they do like I'm down to Earth and I have a you know, it could be a g wagon. But they definitely don't do My Box. So that's access denying on that one. But um she was talking about how she went to a hotel and you know how expensive it was, but like it was basically like any bed and breakfast, because that's the Hampton's. The Hampton's isn't a place you come to in a hotel. You could go to Montalk, which has like beach hotels, but their parties now Montalk is Coachella. You need to understand that, So Montalk is not the Hampton's. It used to be the Montalk wasn't the Hampton's because Montalk was where you went to fly to buy kites and frisbees, and you went with your families and Billy Joel sung about it and it was for fishermen, which it still is, but now it's for fisherman and Coachella douchebags. But I go there because there are some great restaurants, Duryas, which is what's sort of the most famous place there. No, surf Lage is the most famous place there. I don't go there, like that's I'll go there one time this summer, maybe on like a Tuesday, um to check the box or go to lunch and just get a drink. You can't. You cannot go there on weekend, like it's literally, I mean you can as much as you can go to Times Square in New York City and you know on New Year's Eve, like you could do it but enjoy that. But mont Talk has become Coachella because it's for young kids to party but like look earthy and where you know, felt hats and and like fringed bags and bell bottoms and like act like they're cool too. And there's some other version of a douche bag. So all that being said, the Hampton's is amazing, and you know, I would tell you, I just had um Griffin Johnson here. He's a twenty three year old influencer TikTok influencer, and he came with other people another time one time, and he had a real preconceived notion about the Hampton's because he said, like he went to Surflage. I'm like, just come to my Hampton's, and my hampton is the amazing beaches. There's the beaches here untouchable. Okay, I've lived in l A, I've lived in Florida, I've been all over the world the Beat. I've been to Nantucket millions of times, been to the Cape. The beaches here are untouchable. They're deep, they're wide, the sand, there's waves. It's beautiful, they're not The water isn't warm like Miami, which is a bubbling bathtub right now in the summer, but it's just refreshing. I swim every day. I'm just gonna tell you this is my happy place. I've been traveling more because I've been making an effort and trying to be like some sort of some version of like you know, a place of yes, Jet Center, but I want to be in the Hampton's at all times. It's farm stands, it's beach. They have good restaurants, but you don't have to go to them, and you only go to them during the week at like six o'clock. You don't go at eight thirty at night to a restaurant and expect to be in like down home, charming Middle America. It's just not You're not gonna get that. But you have all that beauty, and you have have all that beach, and you do have the most amazing tomatoes and corn and farm stands, and so it can get a bad rap, but you can't come like you can't walk into How I explain this, you could do any place wrong. Let me go to Los Angeles and like walk right onto the Hollywood Walk of Fame and look at those stars and go to Venice Beach and and and skate with people on Venice Beach and uh, you know, do the Star map tour and also be disappointed in in l A or you know anything. And by the way, meanwhile, Malib was one of the most beautiful places. But that's also the land of the douche bag. If you do it wrong. If you stay at your house and you barbecue like I did with Brandon Griffin. If you go on a boat and you go tubing Toman Talk, which is one of the most beautiful places, you don't need to do it in a douchey way. You could do it in a really fun amazing way. So I don't like when people come and crystallize a place to be funny in five minutes, because it's not even an accurate portray of the place. Whinney Commings, who I know, calm stay at my house in the Hampton's report back after a weekend. I'll take you for ice cream. I'll take you for lobsters. I'll take you tubing, I'll take you surfing, I'll take you wakeboarding. I'll take you for my walks on the beach. I'll take you clamming. I'll take you uh going to you know, get crabs. I'll take you to the other Fork, which is where Greenport is where we go roller skating and we go get Mexican food and it's very like you know, woman of the people there. So do Hampton's my way and you or don't because then we don't have to have it be more crowded. But don't just the Hampton's. If you don't know the Hampton's called Griffin Johnson if you want to know a little bit better about our Hampton's. Another thing about the Hampton's is the people get a bad rap. There is a huge concentration of douchebags and the Hampton's in the summer between Thursday night and Monday morning, and it gets even more concentrated after August twelve when the kids come home from camp, which is like mock five batting down the hatches and like, don't go anywhere that's really busy at busy hours or any time. But the Hampton's doesn't get commended for its people. The locals, the fisherman, the people who live here year round, the women who have small businesses, the people who run the farm stands and own shops and own restaurants like Bobby Vans and the Palm Now that are like here year round. Okay, the year rounders are the coolest people ever. It's strong island. You have to understand, believe me. Ask Billy Joel how great the Hampton's is. He's a pretty down to earth dude. So the Hamptons is awesome. You just have to know where to go, and we're not to go so many celebrities are. That's this is me just in and of itself that I'm about to say the sentence. Many celebrities are afraid of the new change in Instagram. Law. Okay, So I hear that many celebrities. I never know what's going on. I hear like, I'll just see something either on Instagram or on TikTok, or on the news, or just hear it from someone whatever. So on, I guess they're making a change on Instagram, and many people, celebrities are upset by it. Do you want to know why? It means you can't have a phony, bullshit life one picture that's been orchestrated and painted to look like the Mona Lisa. It means you have to like be running around doing real videos in your real time. You can filter those two. Only douches do that, but there are a lot of them. I have got one of them. But it means you can't, like, let's filter and face tune and ask tune and waste tune, and let's let's let's make a fake life, a fake lashes, hair and plaster, and then filter the picture brings laughing and then bring you're laughing, and then filter the picture. And then let's have a team of experts. Let's get people from like NASA and from dermatological offices and plastic surgery universities and crowdsource and and do a focus group and spend sixteen hours to get this photo ready, ready for posting. It's an RFP. It's not a request for it's not a request for proposal. It's an RFP. It's ready for posting. Team. We are ready. We are ready. Have we called yeah, we already. We've called our manager, business manager, publicist, uh, edit, watcher, filter cop and we there's no dangling skinny toes that don't match the body, there's no scaffolding that doesn't match the face. We are ready. We are r FP ready for posting. That's why people are scared of the new Instagram, because the new Instagram means people you may have to be somewhat real. It's why TikTok is place that I feel comfortable because I could post on my pajamas before I've brushed my teeth and don't care on Instagram. Everybody, get together. We have a photo. She has a photo. Do you have a photo? We got a photo, but it doesn't look good. It doesn't look compelling, it doesn't look real. There's no ash showing, there's no boobs, no bathing suit. There's no bathing suit. People, now, there's no bathing suit, there's no sexual connotation. What are we gonna do? There's no lie, there's no humble bragging. She's not in the back of a yacht. She's not faking it. She's not wearing an Aramis Burke and or driving a driving a Lamborghini. What should we do? Folks? Team get together. We need a post. We need to We can only post two to nine times a day. We can't post. We have to post once a day. But it has to be at four six in the afternoon. There has to be a lunar eclipse coming. There has to be there has to be a spaceship landing in the middle of Times Square, and then we can poke. Can we post? We're ready for posting. It's ridiculous. It's a place where you're not allowed to be real. It's a constipated app. It's a constipated app. Mice. We post like full times a week, and most of the post are abysmal, abysmal. I've got assistance in therapy over this I'm like, it's not compelling, it doesn't look good, it doesn't look real, and they want authentic for me. And they're like, well, you know it does really well, And my god, I don't care. I want to live my own free life. You know it does really well. You in a bathing suit, or you and Brin, or you and Paul. They want to know about you and Paul. Then we got to filter our lives, our relationships. It can't be during the time of an argument. Come on, people, That's why I'm like, do it. No, it's not it's not a bathing suit. If it's not sexual in nature, if it's not about my relationship, if it's just me living my normal, boring life, it won't perform. Is it performing? Is it gonna perform? We could post four rolla to post three to four times. No, you don't post twice today. Engagements high engagements, low engagement. No, you've got to wake up in the middle of the night setting alarm clock. That's when engagement's high. That's when we have to host such a bag of garbage. Bring it on Instagram video. Do something to filter out these filterers. We need to you know, what needs to be filtered out the filterers, the fakers, the humble braggers. Where's that filter them out? Get rid of those people. TikTok doesn't want famous people on it. They get mad, They're like, no, this is a community. This is where you know what. I want to social media app to filter out the phonies, and the filters cancel that
