Just B Rant: You Don’t Know B

Published Feb 9, 2024, 6:05 AM

If you thought Lala’s comments about Rachel and Bethenny on Watch What Happens Live weren't going to evoke a response...then you don’t know Bethenny. 

I love that people like have a personal opinion about Rachel's trajectory and how she tried to rise from the ashes. So La La was on Watch What Happens Live saying that she thought that Rachel was going to fade into obscurity, and she did say something interesting saying, like everybody deserves to make their coins, and like Rachel deserves to make her coins. But she and Lisa and everybody has such a massive opinion about the fact that she chose to do my podcast, Like everybody, it's hysterical. I love it, Like it's okay, relaxed. There's a lot of pockets. There are a lot of podcasts, a lot of television shows. Everybody's gonna make it. We're all gonna be okay that she decided to do my podcast. It's okay. Like Lalla called her, like the worst kind of person. I forgot what she said. She said some terrible thing. I remember. It was like things that she said, like you're the most disgusting person. You're nothing, like literally reduced her to trash and garbage. That's what happened on that reunion. Like if you go back and watch that reunion and you watch a person get beaten the shit at of pummeled. She had an affair, it happened. She's pretend she's a terrible person. She had an affair on television set in a bar with people cheating left, right and sideway. Okay, great, but everybody has such an opinion on the way that Rachel should have handled herself and told her story. Do you go back and tell your story to the person who called you a trash bag pile of garbage, to the den mother who sat there and allowed other people to emotionally abuse you. Do you go back to the producer who sat there and allowed you to be emotionally abused, and actually, when you tried to walk off set from being emotionally and verbally abused, says, wait, come back, You're a hunching bag. It's time to take more. Like, what the fuck is wrong with it? It doesn't make any sense. This is the environment. I'm supposed to go back and like share my story, Lisa vander Pump, Like, what are you talking about? La? La Kent should go to Randall Emmett and talk to him about, you know, how she's changed and survived the abuse that she's alleged he gave her which is possibly true. I don't know him, I don't know her, but like, what the fuck is wrong with people? I really wish she would have come to us, she would have come back to this show. Like how many people end up in an emotional health facility from a fucking television show? Is everyone okay? Is this normal? Like I'm the devil that Rachel reached out to me. I didn't even know her. Yeah, and sorry not sorry. I hadn't watched the show, but I saw clips of her being emotionally abused on the show, and I'm like, is this justified? Like this level, this level of abuse? So I mentioned her anecdotally, So I heard this thing, and I remember just saying it anecdotally, like yeah, this girl was a fucking human punching bag, you know, in the name of ratings and forever that'll be monetized and she's not making any money off of it. And I just mentioned it. She reached out to me. It's like, on and on and on, we gotta keep going about this girl doing my show. It fucking happened, Yes, it happened. Also, you know what happened? This very show is nominated for Best Culture Podcast. Sorry not sorry, so I guess Rachel was not that stupid and picking my podcast to come on to share her story, and also picking me to produce her podcast cause she's fucking backing a winner. She's not on some other derivative podcast that didn't get Best Pop Culture Podcast nomination. Okay, So there are a lot of rumblings about vander Pump Rules and James, this guy who I don't believe that I've ever met, not that I remember. I think I've seen him before, a British DJ who's on vander Pump Rules. Now I don't really know the people on that show. I met Rachel through the Reality Reckoning when she reached out and then did the podcast, and I think, like La La and I have messaged in the past, maybe through social media or just I'm aware of her. But this guy James, there are so many rumblings about him, alleged abuse by so many different people, and there are now blogs about it and articles about it, and podcasts about it and specific examples cited. And I hesitated to air part of the Rachel interview about this, and and other people have reached out to me. So I'm trying to tread lately because I can't think of a worse thing that could be said about someone. The thing about selective cancelation is that it doesn't make a lot of sense and it doesn't have a consistency to it. So there are people who have been accused of sexual abuse or physical abuse that then are exonerated because it's not proven, or it's come out to be that it wasn't true or someone was lying, and their lives are kind of ruined forever. And what's interesting is that reality television is such a low down, dirty dump that it really doesn't matter if there are accusations against you for physical abuse. So there's a guy who climbs on top of a girl below deck who's drunk, and he's thrown off. I guess there were many incidents before that with this particular guy, end of people, but he's thrown off, never to be seen again. And then there's a guy who's very popular and good looking and charming on vander Pomp Rules, who is you know, a favorite of not only like the people in charge there, but also many of the fans, and so many people have accused him of abuse. I mean, that's just the truth. If any of this is true, it's this is a person who's protected because he's working on a show that is now part of the realm, that is profitable, that had its stratospheric rise, which also was the exponential demise of Rachel and Tom's still there. And it's just interesting that if someone's making it rain, they are protected. That was what happened years for you years with Harvey Einstein. He was protected because he was making it rain and he was so powerful. Now certainly nobody from you know, a small reality television show is is you know, too big to fail. But I can't imagine that many people who if they were accused of this kind of accusation by so many different people. So I just think it's interesting that in some cases just the accusation would be grounds for firing or investigation. And this guy has a lot going on that people are talking about him, just hearing in the periphery, just like seeing an eye, blogs and comments and like people's podcasts, And I'm thinking to myself, don't want other people like get in major trouble for just like that association being there. But no, not this, not in this case. You know, protect the realm, protect the good looking charming, you know, one with a British accent. For sure. I really don't know enough about the show, which I was criticized about, which is hilarious because I certainly am not looking to like get myself more dirty by watching dirty television. But my understanding is that he's like a favorite. You know, he's charming and charismatic, and he's a good looking guy. I mean, I see you know what you see that it's I can't compare him to Danny Masterson, but I'm just saying a lot of people defended Danny Masterson. And then I think it was Christina Ricci who came out and was like, yeah, just because these guys are charming doesn't mean they can't be bad guys. Like bad guys can make you smile, can make you laugh, can make you feel good, can can be charming, can be loving. Bad guys you know, do good things. I don't know James, I've never met him. He seems entertaining and charismatic and charming. I'm just noticing that so many different people are talking about him. And one person who's very connected to the cast called me during the reality reckoning. Two other people directly told me, and then it was allegedly caught out of a reunion. This whole discussion about this, because that's not good for a grotto, and it's not good for business. It's just fucking crazy. It's just it's fucking crazy.
