Speaker 1: Some Donkey today is just ltte ready I never heard again?
Speaker 1: Are Charlotte Rue.
Speaker 2: Donkey Today? For Tuesday February twenty, it goes to Bethany Frankel.
Speaker 3: You know who Bethany Frankel is, right, entrepreneur, TV personality Real.
Speaker 1: Housewives in New York. She gets busy.
Speaker 3: She had a daytime talk show back in the day.
Speaker 3: I used to appear on it pretty often. Fun fact,
Speaker 3: Bethany Frankel is the reason I named my podcast when
Speaker 3: Andrews showed Brilliant Idiots true story, I was on her
Speaker 3: show back in the day when we were first launching
Speaker 3: the podcast, and she said to me, verbatim, you say
Speaker 3: the smartest, dumbest things I've ever heard. You're like a
Speaker 3: brilliant idiot. And immediately the light bulb went off. So
Speaker 3: thank you for that inspiration, Bethany. But Donkey of the
Speaker 3: Day does not discriminate. See if you was listening to
Speaker 3: Jess with the Mess earlier and you heard Jess tell
Speaker 3: a story about the great Kelly Rowland, Jess, can you
Speaker 3: tell the people what happened with the Godiva Chocolate Goddess
Speaker 3: Kelly Roland?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 4: So she was invited to co host the Today Show,
Speaker 4: and when she got there, she saw that she did
Speaker 4: not like her green room accommodations and she asked to
Speaker 4: be moved to a larger green room and they denied
Speaker 4: her that access because j Lo was accompanying the main
Speaker 4: green room.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well, of course a lot of people had
Speaker 3: opinions about this situation, and Bethany Frankel was one of them.
Speaker 3: There's a page six headline that says, Bethany Frankel slams
Speaker 3: Kelly Rowland for Diva expectations over Today's show dressing rooms.
Speaker 1: Can we listen to what Bethany had to say? Right?
Speaker 5: Kelly Roland walked off the set of the Today Show
Speaker 5: because the dressing room wasn't up to park. She was
Speaker 5: co hosting with Coda, and it wasn't it. I've co
Speaker 5: hosted with Hoda and I've arrived there and the makeup
Speaker 5: area that you touch up in is like grab a
Speaker 5: croissant and some plastic and great for the best, and
Speaker 5: it's just not what that's about. And it's an honor
Speaker 5: to be there and to sit down with Hoda, and
Speaker 5: that was not the moment for diva expectations.
Speaker 3: Bethany stop cut it out, Bethany, I would not expect
Speaker 3: that take from you, because you are the same person
Speaker 3: who had your lawyer send Bravo a litigation hold letter
Speaker 3: that alleged the company engaged in grow tests and depraved
Speaker 3: the mistreatment of its on air talent. Bethany also accused
Speaker 3: Bravo's parent company applying talent with alcohol while depriving them
Speaker 3: of food and sleep, as well as denying mental health treatment.
Speaker 3: The moral of the story is Bethany doesn't like to
Speaker 3: see people mistreating talent.
Speaker 1: Bethany doesn't like to see people taking.
Speaker 2: Advantage of talent.
Speaker 3: So, Bethany, if a talent like Kelly Roland felt like
Speaker 3: they was being mistreated and decided, you know, she was
Speaker 3: being mistreated to the point she should walk away, who
Speaker 3: are you to tell her she's acting like a diva? Okay,
Speaker 3: we all know you have to teach people how to
Speaker 3: treat you. So if today's show wasn't treating Kelly the
Speaker 3: way she wanted to be treated, who are we to
Speaker 3: tell Kelly.
Speaker 2: Rowland suck it up?
Speaker 1: But a couple.
Speaker 3: No, it is necessary and even vital to set stanzas
Speaker 3: for your life. I don't have a problem with Kelly
Speaker 3: having boundaries. I don't have a problem with Kelly Rowland
Speaker 3: or any talent walking away from.
Speaker 1: A situation if they aren't being treated correctly.
Speaker 3: All of these production companies, networks, TV shows, y'all got
Speaker 3: life fed up in twenty twenty four. If you ask
Speaker 3: these people to take time out of their lives to
Speaker 3: come co host your programs, treat them with respect. In business,
Speaker 3: they say, the customer is always right. Well so is
Speaker 3: the damn talent when it comes to situations like this.
Speaker 3: If Kelly Rowland felt if Kelly Rowland felt like they
Speaker 3: weren't felt like she wasn't being treated with the respect
Speaker 3: she deserves.
Speaker 2: She has every right to walk away.
Speaker 3: Stop acting like y'all doing talent a favor by putting
Speaker 3: them on your shows, and realize nowadays talent is doing
Speaker 3: you a favor because most talents don't need these looks
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. Okay, you need them to garn
Speaker 3: her attention for your programs, and a lot of these
Speaker 3: cases not the other way around. Okay, set boundaries, y'all.
Speaker 3: All right, everybody out there, don't be afraid to set
Speaker 3: boundaries like the good sister nature to Walp Glover, says,
Speaker 3: set boundaries find peace. What Kelly Rowland did brought her
Speaker 3: extreme peace, and that's what setting boundaries is all about.
Speaker 3: Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to
Speaker 3: love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if to today's show is Bethany Frankel.
Speaker 3: We're disappointed that Kelly Rowland chose to do what was
Speaker 3: best for her and her mental and emotional health, but
Speaker 3: loving yourself will always trump disappointing others. Bethany Frankel, you
Speaker 3: should be ashamed. Don't call yourself standing up for talent
Speaker 3: at Bravo, but then tell someone else they should stand
Speaker 3: down and.
Speaker 1: Deal with it.
Speaker 2: Please get beth to me, Frankel, the sweet sounds of
Speaker 2: the Hamilton.
Speaker 6: You, Oh the day, Oh the day. You you know me.
Speaker 1: It don't take me much to leave because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be there to begin with.
Speaker 4: Well, you should have gave her the remy my one.
Speaker 4: Are you let get Franklins?
Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb?
Speaker 4: I saw the video, I saw what she did when
Speaker 4: she took the online to respond to that.
Speaker 2: I't know you were so close to her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think I thought that was that was
Speaker 4: crazy to go online like that. But did y'all y'all
Speaker 4: see my story. She actually looked like Fred Gwinn. Y'all
Speaker 4: know that is just from the original pet Cemetery, the
Speaker 4: guy who plays Frankenstin.
Speaker 1: She favors him.
Speaker 4: I do wonder if that like it's a granddaughter or
Speaker 4: something like that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she looked like me.
Speaker 2: But yeah, she deserved to day.
Speaker 3: I didn't like that, especially being that you know, she
Speaker 3: has sent legal letters to Bravo and accused them of
Speaker 3: mistreating talent. If you're gonna stand up for talent in
Speaker 3: one place, you got to stand up for talent all
Speaker 3: across the board.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well thank you for that.
