Just B Rant: The Other Side of Scandoval

Published Feb 2, 2024, 5:00 AM

From Break-up to Glow-Up: Bethenny dives into the latest on Scandoval and the other side of celebrity break-ups. 

Plus, Alyssa Milano has been facing heat after being called out on social media. Where does Bethenny fall on the subject? (And will you agree?!)

So Tom Sandoval said that Arianna should move on. I think Tom is kind of saying like that she's dined out or milked this affair and like it's become her identity, like getting over this and it was a while ago, and that you know, guess what, that's a business that works. Like there's a girl who's on social media, this blonde girl who went through a breakup, and like I see her talking about it, it's very relatable content. There's another one who's part of the alex Earl Crewe Xandra, and she's been talking about her breakup a young girl, like that's kind of part of her identity. Now it's a lot more recent than the Ariana that had to be like over a year ago, but she's still kind of like it's still it's been a monetizable event, like it's actually been a positive event. I mean, I know money isn't everything, but we all have to agree that a relationship that was on reality television fueled by alcohol and drama with an infidelity moment. When there were so many infidelity moments on that show, one of them I think was don't don't quote me, somebody else cheated with somebody else before they got into that relationship. I don't remember the show's but one for so long, but infidelity sells on Bravo and that, and it sells in the media, and it sells for Arihana And now Tom's like, we did it. I'm the cheater. I cheated, I owned it. We can like move on now. So I thought that was interesting. I just saw the clip. But that's interesting. There's a girl Dave Portnoy's X like that is a big part of her identity on social media now, like moving into a new apartment, here's my stuff. I break up, Like, breakups are big, and breakups are now lucrative. So Arianna paved the way for monetizing a breakup. I guess who else has done that? I would say not monetizing it. I would say Jennifer Aniston's breakup with Brad Pitt was pretty pretty big, like because he was with Angelina Jolie and she really got a lot of sympathy. And I would say Jen Garner and like Ben Affleck, like she got a lot of sympathy, Like I remember Jude Law and Sienna Miller, remember that breakup, Like that was like he was with like the nanny or the babysitter, big sympathy, big, big sympathy for that breakup, Like some breakups are glow ups for for for girls in ways like it really changes their trajectory. Undeniable that a breakup and a cheating scandal changed Arianna's trajectory and they all come back and say that, I'm saying that she's happy about it and she's reveling in it. I'm not saying that at all about anybody. I'm not saying that Arianna is any happier than Jennifer Aniston was. Ariana's on a show that is what the show is kind of about and thrives on. So it's different. But breakups a brutal cheating is brutal, but I guess it's a nice pill to swallow when a woman can make some money off of it afterwards. Oh, Alyssa Milano got in trouble because she did a go fund me for her son's baseball trip to Cooper's town. People got annoyed because of how much money she spends. Why do people count people's money. It is funny because Dave Port and I was talking about how now he's rich, he's not allowed to complain you can't complain, and it's funny, like, so you can't complain, So so a Lissa Milano. Does that mean she has to pay for everybody's trip on the team, like they go on a trip every year? Does I mean she has to pay for everybody's everything all the time. Like I just think she probably just didn't have done it. Maybe she was trying to just help, like say, like these other kids, not everybody can afford to go on this trip. But it was a little bulky and it was a little awkward. I get it, Like I get, but it doesn't mean that if it's ten thousand dollars, that she herself is supposed to pay the ten thousand dollars for the entire trip. Like I was talking to these guys who work in the liquor business that don't make the kind of money that I make, and they have kids, and they one of them said that there was a baseball program that one of their kids was in that was thirteen thousand dollars. I mean, to me, I fell off my chair thirteen thousand dollars. And I'll tell you that this year, when I found out that the volleyball program that my daughter's in and I didn't realize the level of this program. Like they're tournaments, they're traveling. This is not including I don't think it's including all the travel, and it's not including uniforms. They go to different places and play volleyball. And the initial check was eight thousand dollars, and I thought, how the hell is somebody who's on a budget going to pay eight thousand dollars for their kids to do volleyball. Like if someone says your kid's going to the Olympic or getting a college scholarship, you're gonna try to dig deep and like take money out, just like the ice skating programs, but like if your kids just like I want to do volleyball and I want to do this other special outside of school, because school has volleyball by the way program, and this program is really the only way you're gonna get really good and be competitive at a sport that your kid's passionate about. There's eight thousand dollars plus plus plus so much so. Paul and I went last week to a place, you know, like an hour away in New York and you couldn't It was a sardine can inside the tournament and we had to go buy chairs to sit in there. Like. So I ended up by the way, I did something genius. I'm gonna get into that in a separate conversation, but we it was packed in there. It's like a world, it's a universe, like, and all these kids are paying eight thousand dollars. I was just shook. So I don't know how much the program costs every year, but I know that all Listen Milano. I mean, I hope that the other kids don't expect that I'm gonna pay their eight thousand dollars. So I'm going to back a lista Milano because, like, I don't know how much it costs, but if there are six kids that can't afford the eight thousand dollars, I can tell you with great certainty, I'm not paying forty eight thousand dollars for the kids that can't afford it. Yes, if there were kids that couldn't afford the uniform, I'd pay for it, food budget, you know, a hotel or something if someone asked me. But I'm not gonna go volunteer to pay for other people's volleyball program. I'm not doing that. So Alyssa was trying to like just to get other people to help, and it just didn't land. And it didn't land because there are real charities that, you know, I guess she could have promoted. But if these are really underprivileged kids, you know, and it's like promoting music in schools and promoting sports for kids that can't afford it, it just it didn't land. It needed to be through like the Boys and Girls Club or some something. It just didn't. It wasn't presented right now. Let's get into these kids' sports and this world and decorum. So we go to this volleyball tournament and bring us say there are no chairs, bring chairs. So people have like metal chairs that they brought in folding chairs. Other people have like wide chairs that have arms and tailgating and like cup holders, and they're there for the day. And those aren't efficient. That's like not using a huggable hanger, like you can't. You're taking up two car spots with those big giant like tailgating chairs, the ones, you know what I mean. They fold up, they're like canvas material and they've got cup holders and you're fucking moving and you're camping now. So I was freaking out and I was like let's go to home depot. And I asked home Depot and home Goods and no one had like a fold up, you know, low profile chair that was gonna be like lean and I didn't want to buy these bulky, big plastic chairs. So I thought, oh my god, I have an idea. I'm gonna buy those little foldable stools, the ones that you have a little handle. They look like a little eight by ten piece of paper. So Paul and I went and sat on them. And if you're against a wall, you're green. We weren't against a wall because there was no room, and so there were two big garbage cans kind of like inside the yellow line, and we moved the garbage cans and a passive aggressive she was like, you can't be over here because like the kids need to stand here, and there was no room. And I was like, well, I'm a garbage can. Now the garbage cans are not in this I am. I took the place of a giant garbage can, and the garbage can is now right there. So I'm not a child. I'm not taking anyone somebody. I took a fucking garbage can spot, okay, Because people like to get very hostile, including myself, And on these days you're kind of looking for a fucking fight. You feel dirty, you're sitting all day. There's gross pizza, it's hours of sweating and a hot gymnasium other people. Your back's hurting, and you're just like, please try me, please fuck with me again, and against about my spot. That doesn't matter that no one has a problem, So now let's get to this. So that happened, and there are parents behind you that if you're sitting somewhere like there's no room against the wall, you have a kid who's playing right now, and there are people that have come and taken their spot like they're at you know, they're at Churchill Downs on the day of the Kentucky Derby and they've taken a wall spot for the fucking day. They're camping out. They don't even leave in between games. I don't understand. They find this fun, like it's so hot, like go out, go to a mall. Like Paul and I went on a couple of individual field trips when Brinn wasn't playing. We went to a local deli and that was when we went to home Goods and to home Depot to try to get chairs. And then the next time she wasn't playing, we went and found a great place that has a good smash burger in Peakskill, New York. So now we're sitting here in the place of the garbage cans, and this woman next to us. I love these moms. It's like the moms that are like the mom my bears that protect your kid when a man comes up to them at the beach and they like tattletale and they know it all and they're like gossipy and I live for it. So this mom when the people when the when the coach said something to me about like you need to be in here, and I'm like, there's no where else to fucking be. What am I gonna do? Get on someone's shoulders, like hang from the rafters, like I would like to see my daughter play. So the woman next to me said there should be a rule if your kid's not currently playing. They got to get the fuck out, because then a couple of cases parents were like, oh, if you want to sit in my seat while my kid's playing, but then we have to transact all day and then I have to like get up and like, oh, they're gonna be like oh sorry, my kid's playing, and like we're back and forth. It's a great rule. Thank you to the mom who said that, like, make an announcement. Your kid's not fucking playing, get out, and they should just have like everyone could chip in if we're gonna pay the eight thousand dollars for the chair program. Chairs are around the perimeter. Your kid's not playing, get the fuck out. Your kid is playing, you get a chair. That's it. Otherwise there are gonna be such arguments. Like one man, his ass was like against Paul's face when we were on these little stools, like he was talking to another gaggle of parents, but his ass was where Paul's face. Paul's like, I'm gonna have to do like the elbow into the knee soon, and like not a mean one, but just like a little like hi, I'm here, and I'm like he's looking for a fight too. It's like road rage inside a gymnasium. So for those of you who get up at five o'clock in the morning to go to the hockey rink or go do whatever the sport is or the lacrosse, you can't see shit. It's such a fucking gigantic field or the field hockey or whatever it is that you do. We see each other. I respect it, I get it, I understand it. And there have to be rules, and it's savage and it's the Hunger Games and it's killer be killed, and you gotta do what you gotta do. And if one of these coaches had come and fuck with me again about being in the seat of a garbage camp, I was gonna go, you wanna go outside? Okay, I'm not in the mood to not today, not today. While we're at it, Why are volleyball shorts underwear? Like and every kid is picking their ass the whole game. They're like up over your thigh, every kid's pulling them down, picking their ass. They're like boys short span dex. I don't understand have the ones that have the underwear underneath and like their area on the outside, Like what are we doing? We're not like seals like that. We have to keep stuff like close to our body. We're not like Michael Phelps swimming where you're like rubbing yourself down in vasilin. Why are all volleyball shorts underwear? They're like tight span dex boys short black underwear, And I wouldn't say it if it doesn't make it's a problem. Girl is picking her ass or pulling her shorts down the entire game. We need a sports wide change in uniforms. It makes no sense. I don't understand it all day. And they're distracted by the ass picking because they're looking around to see if someone seeing them pull their shorts, not picking their rests. Yes, I see you, I'm seeing it. I don't blame you because they're up your ass and it's like weird. And they're up her crotch too, and this is children, like, it's just bad. Get rid of the fucking crotch shorts. I don't understand it. I'll never understand it.
