Speaker 3: You know who Bethany Frankel is, right, entrepreneur, TV personality Real.

5
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Housewives in New York. She gets busy.

6
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 3: She had a daytime talk show back in the day.

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: I used to appear on it pretty often. Fun fact,

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Bethany Frankel is the reason I named my podcast when

9
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 3: Andrews showed Brilliant Idiots true story, I was on her

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: show back in the day when we were first launching

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: the podcast, and she said to me, verbatim, you say

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: the smartest, dumbest things I've ever heard. You're like a

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: brilliant idiot. And immediately the light bulb went off. So

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: thank you for that inspiration, Bethany. But Donkey of the

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: Day does not discriminate. See if you was listening to

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: Jess with the Mess earlier and you heard Jess tell

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: a story about the great Kelly Rowland, Jess, can you

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: tell the people what happened with the Godiva Chocolate Goddess

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: Kelly Roland?

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: What happened?

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 4: So she was invited to co host the Today Show,

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 4: and when she got there, she saw that she did

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: not like her green room accommodations and she asked to

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: be moved to a larger green room and they denied

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: her that access because j Lo was accompanying the main

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: green room.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well, of course a lot of people had

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: opinions about this situation, and Bethany Frankel was one of them.

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: There's a page six headline that says, Bethany Frankel slams

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: Kelly Rowland for Diva expectations over Today's show dressing rooms.

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Can we listen to what Bethany had to say? Right?

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 5: Kelly Roland walked off the set of the Today Show

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 5: because the dressing room wasn't up to park. She was

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 5: co hosting with Coda, and it wasn't it. I've co

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 5: hosted with Hoda and I've arrived there and the makeup

36
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 5: area that you touch up in is like grab a

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 5: croissant and some plastic and great for the best, and

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 5: it's just not what that's about. And it's an honor

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: to be there and to sit down with Hoda, and

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 5: that was not the moment for diva expectations.

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: Bethany stop cut it out, Bethany, I would not expect

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: that take from you, because you are the same person

43
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: who had your lawyer send Bravo a litigation hold letter

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: that alleged the company engaged in grow tests and depraved

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: the mistreatment of its on air talent. Bethany also accused

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: Bravo's parent company applying talent with alcohol while depriving them

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: of food and sleep, as well as denying mental health treatment.

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 3: The moral of the story is Bethany doesn't like to

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: see people mistreating talent.

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Bethany doesn't like to see people taking.

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Advantage of talent.

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: So, Bethany, if a talent like Kelly Roland felt like

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: they was being mistreated and decided, you know, she was

54
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: being mistreated to the point she should walk away, who

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: are you to tell her she's acting like a diva? Okay,

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: we all know you have to teach people how to

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: treat you. So if today's show wasn't treating Kelly the

58
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: way she wanted to be treated, who are we to

59
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: tell Kelly.

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: Rowland suck it up?

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: But a couple.

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: No, it is necessary and even vital to set stanzas

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: for your life. I don't have a problem with Kelly

64
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: having boundaries. I don't have a problem with Kelly Rowland

65
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: or any talent walking away from.

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: A situation if they aren't being treated correctly.

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: All of these production companies, networks, TV shows, y'all got

68
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: life fed up in twenty twenty four. If you ask

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: these people to take time out of their lives to

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: come co host your programs, treat them with respect. In business,

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: they say, the customer is always right. Well so is

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: the damn talent when it comes to situations like this.

73
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: If Kelly Rowland felt if Kelly Rowland felt like they

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: weren't felt like she wasn't being treated with the respect

75
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: she deserves.

76
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: She has every right to walk away.

77
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: Stop acting like y'all doing talent a favor by putting

78
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: them on your shows, and realize nowadays talent is doing

79
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: you a favor because most talents don't need these looks

80
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. Okay, you need them to garn

81
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: her attention for your programs, and a lot of these

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: cases not the other way around. Okay, set boundaries, y'all.

83
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: All right, everybody out there, don't be afraid to set

84
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: boundaries like the good sister nature to Walp Glover, says,

85
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: set boundaries find peace. What Kelly Rowland did brought her

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: extreme peace, and that's what setting boundaries is all about.

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.

89
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if to today's show is Bethany Frankel.

90
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: We're disappointed that Kelly Rowland chose to do what was

91
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: best for her and her mental and emotional health, but

92
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: loving yourself will always trump disappointing others. Bethany Frankel, you

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: should be ashamed. Don't call yourself standing up for talent

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: at Bravo, but then tell someone else they should stand

95
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: down and.

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: Deal with it.

97
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: Please get beth to me, Frankel, the sweet sounds of

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: the Hamilton.

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 6: You, Oh the day, Oh the day. You you know me.

100
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: It don't take me much to leave because I don't

101
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: want to be there to begin with.

102
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: Well, you should have gave her the remy my one.

103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: Are you let get Franklins?

104
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb?

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: I saw the video, I saw what she did when

106
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: she took the online to respond to that.

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: I't know you were so close to her.

108
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't know that.

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know.

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think I thought that was that was

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 4: crazy to go online like that. But did y'all y'all

112
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 4: see my story. She actually looked like Fred Gwinn. Y'all

113
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: know that is just from the original pet Cemetery, the

114
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: guy who plays Frankenstin.

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: She favors him.

116
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: I do wonder if that like it's a granddaughter or

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: something like that.

118
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, she looked like me.

119
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, she deserved to day.

120
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: I didn't like that, especially being that you know, she

121
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: has sent legal letters to Bravo and accused them of

122
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: mistreating talent. If you're gonna stand up for talent in

123
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: one place, you got to stand up for talent all

124
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: across the board.

125
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,880
