Kristen: Why Is Bethenny Bad-Mouthing My Business?

Kristen wonders why Bethenny will only talk about her--not to her.

By Kristen Taekman

Bethenny and Heather at the Berkshires dinner…what happened?! All the crying and flood of emotions was so intense! Bethenny's apology seems authentic and that was also a sweet toast on her part. How do we get to know Bethenny if she’s got this wall up we can’t penetrate? Heather is clearly trying to be nice to her!

It’s sweet that Avery is home and getting to spend a whole month with her mom. I would imagine it must be nice to be able to be together during this time! I have to say, it was difficult for me to watch Ramona talk to Avery about Mario. Very sad, especially over the holidays.

Bethenny's brand summit! Wow! I I would have loved to have been there. It seems like one could have learned a lot! This is a perfect opportunity for Sonja--it’s great for her to see what her business could aspire to be! Damn I can’t believe how big Skinnygirl has become! I can only dream that Pop of Color will grow to be that big one day!

I’m thrilled to announce that I started a nail polish line called POP OF COLOR! Josh recently had a meeting with Ricky's NYC who have been selling Eboost in their stores for years. My name came up and Josh came home and asked if I wanted to do a nail polish line! It’s crazy how some things happen. The truth is that I love nail polish, I love the name Pop of Color, and, well, here we are at our first meeting with Ricky's. I decided to ask Carole to sit in with us as I figured she could help me name some of the polishes! Oh, and could she name them! Ha, ha! Like she says, sex does sell! So "Thrust" might not actually be so bad! 

Ramona, Dorinda, Carole, Bethenny Dinner--I’m not liking how this whole dinner seems to be bashing Heather, WTF?! Heather was trying to be nice to Bethenny, and Ramona knows that. Not quite sure where this is going, but I am happy that Carole steps in and says something!

AOA--Merry Christmas all! When Carole shares a small but mighty piece of information with me…I just can’t hold it in any longer. Enough with beating around the damn bush with Bethenny! Why on earth is she bad-mouthing my business? The name is trademarked, thank-you-very-much! I felt that I should just confront Bethenny myself. Seriously, what’s the deal here? You barely speak to me to my face, but yet you have plenty to say behind my back? I really just don’t get it at all. And once I do approach her, she just dismisses me rudely and walks away! I have made the conscious decision that I don’t need any more friends!
