That's why I posted that line from Scandal to compare/contrast:Originally posted by kia027 View PostOmorosa is a very confident woman who believes in herself. However her delivery is wayyyy offff hence why she is not liked.Virtually identical messages but word choice leads to a debate of Omarosa's style rather than a discussion of the substance of her statement. Once she used the word "mediocre" it was all over.Rowan on Scandal Omarosa about her brand "You have to be twice as good as them to get half of what they have." "..I'm an African-American woman; you get to walk around and be mediocre and still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business."

i think the diplomacy people expect of her is primarily because she's a black woman. her not giving an eff and still managing to hold her head high is pretty admirable to me.
I became an Omarosa fan when i heard her on radio talking about what it took for her to be strong for Michael Clarke Phillips when he was sick. They had been a couple for a while, it sounded as if he was her complete soulmate, a man who understood and accepted her for who she was. she's so vilified sometimes, and seems such a complex woman, it must have felt like heaven to her to have his love. i could hear her willing him to get better. unfortunately it was not to be and i felt it for her when he died.

For sure some of Omarosa's antics are off-putting but at least she is what she is. I would take her any day over some dutty stinkin 2-faced back-stabbing phoney who speaks to you pleasantly and then cuts you up behind your back . If a knife is coming, I would rather it be in full view so that I can duck.

I expect that kind of behaviour from Canadians but I am stunned to find it among Jamaicans. Participating here is a REAL eye-opener. I learn new things all the time.

I think this post from Jewish Journal sums up Bethenny really well:
Let me begin this blog by saying that I think Bethenny Frankel’s behavior is mortifying, and should no longer be on television. I watched her wedding, and wished her well, but seriously, this chick is out of control. If you love her, just don’t read it. It’s probably best.
I’m not saying anything about her wedding because it was her special day, and good for her. The peeing in a bucket, whoring herself to the paparazzi, being rude to her new husband, self-absorbed outbreaks, and overall nastiness will not be commented on by me.
We arrive in St. Barts with Bethenny and Jason for their honeymoon. God forbid this chick does anything in private. It’s fascinating that she is unable to pee without a camera, yet blasted Jill for doing everything in front of the camera.
They decide to take a swim and Bethenny strips down and jumps in naked. How is it possible that Jason was annoyed she would walk around in a thong in front of Max, but she can be naked in front of a cameraman? This show screams, “watch us! we’re fake!”.
Bethenny is complaining about how ugly she is, and Jason is being charming. He calls her Mamma, which is sweet. You forget for a minute that he must be a celebrity whore on some level to live this life with her.
An animal of some kind has wondered into their room and pooped on the floor. She is freaked out and thinks she might puke. Really? Wait until your baby starts projectile vomiting while having diarrhea. She is in for a rude awakening with what will come out of her baby Jason is waxing her stomach and I wonder why this is on television. Nothing reads authentic about them. She has become a caricature and is incredibly rude to her husband. They are talking about babies and have no clue. They are unprepared. Loving your baby does not make it easier.
Jason is taking a wind surfing lesson and Bethenny has another cry. I don’t buy it when she cries. She is always complaining about how hard her life was, but maybe Bethenny has created stories in her head, which she now believes.
If Bethenny’s mother is so horrible, why isn’t she talking smack about Bethenny for money? It makes no sense. Perhaps her mother is mortified by her daughter, and wants nothing to do with her? Maybe Mommy Dearest is more classy than trashy.
We are now going to spend forever watching Bethenny and Jason eat. For ten minutes, we are watching them eat, with nothing to really say to each other, and both of them so aware of the camera that you half expect them to turn to the cameraman and offer him a bite.
They are at their last dinner in St. Barts and it’s the same thing over and over because they have nothing to talk about. The entire time, Jason talked about how he wants to be involved. Cut to New York and Bethenny is doing everything for the baby’s room without Jason.
She selects every single piece of furniture for the baby’s room, without Jason which is not cool or nice. I think that is the bottom line with Bethenny. She is not coming across as nice. She appears to be selfish and quite garish. I’m not sure she can sustain another show.
We’re back in therapy listening to Bethenny complaining. Is the only woman to have ever had a baby? Get married? Have issues with her parents? She’s lives in Bethennyville where the only thing that matters appears to be her, which is not great television.
It’s yet another naked photo shoot with Bethenny which is interesting since her husband has issues with her always being naked. Bethenny is at a doctor’s appointment and the most surprising thing is that she decided to let Jason go too! So sweet.
Next week the baby comes. She tells Jason the baby’s room is apple green and he is surprised. It’s sad that he finds out she did it all without him, in front of us. I want so much to like this show and her, but she is making it really hard. As for next week, I’m keeping the faith.
Seems this writer nailed it 2 years ago

Did Bethenny Frankel Fake Her Happy Marriage? (And Does It Matter?)
The reality star, who is currently going through a bitter divorce, says she regrets marrying Jason Hoppy
For the past three years,Bethenny Frankel has been dishing advice about love, based on her own marriage toJason Hoppy. Now that she's going through a divorce, the chat show host says her marriage was "miserable." Did the "queen of too much information" neglect to tell us a few things?
"In my marriage, I made a mistake. It is what it is," the former Real Housewives of New York City star toldPeople. “I made the wrong choice. But I do have my daughter, who is so beautiful and amazing in every way."
That "wrong choice" was Hoppy, whom Frankel says she now regrets marrying (except for the saving grace of Bryn, 3). That's a big turnaround for someone who once wrote the bookon having it all. But if Bethenny is an open book, as she often claims, then why did she claim to be so happy for so long?
In fairness to Frankel, she has never pretended that her marriage was perfect. She was candid about her struggle to make time for her husband, and allowed Bravo to air plenty of marital spats. But she still allowed her relationship to serve as a model for other women, and presented herself as an authority on finding work-life balance. So the question is, does Bethenny's revelation about her "miserable" marriage means that she was lying this whole time?
We're inclined to say that it doesn't.
First of all, it's possible that Bethenny didn't entirely mean what she said; she is, after all, in the middle of a divorce. Maybe her good memories are just being obscured by the bitter custody negotiations.
Moreover, when something is wrong with our relationships, don't we all fake it to some degree? Everyone's marriage goes through rough patches, and there's no point in declaring "my marriage is miserable!" when you're still committed to working on it.
Instead of putting on a united front for their kids or friends, Jason and Bethenny had to do it for the whole world. Sure, Bethenny could have been more candid, but it probably would have put further stress on her relationship. Let's just take this as a reminder that nobody's perfect, no matter how ideal their life seems to be.
Omarosa was not the first and she will not be the last to out this fake chick.
