Dolores Catania and Tamra Judge both blasted Bethenny Frankel for a variety of reasons, including her criticism of Teresa Giudice’s latest money woes.
During Judge’s Wednesday episode of her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, Catania reacted to Frankel’s harsh take on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” on which Catania stars.
“I mean, she’s a broken girl. She’s a very broken person,” Catania, 54, said of Frankel, also 54, who previously starred on “The Real Housewives of New York City.”
“I remember 14 years ago when this whole [‘Real Housewives’] thing started, I went to a party with the other girls. It was, like, Season 1. [Frankel] was, like, standing in a doorway. I don’t remember her because she’s [memorable]; I remember her because I’m an empath — and I felt a s–t energy from her.”
According to Catania, that’s how Frankel — who has condemned Bravo since she quit “RHONY” in 2019 — is “known across the board.”
Catania also called out Frankel for “knock[ing] the same platform that made her.”
Earlier this week, news broke that Catania’s co-star Giudice and her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, owe $3 million in back taxes.
The “RHONJ” OG was previously married to Joe Giudice, and they both infamously served time in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.
Ever-opinionated Frankel immediately took to TikTok to berate Teresa for entering into “another marriage with financial legal issues.”
In the same breath, she referred to “RHONJ” as a “trash bin of a show.”
Catania told Judge, 57, she thinks Frankel strives to be “the Howard Stern of ‘Housewives,'” a sentiment with which Judge, who stars on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” agreed.
“We don’t need to be that mean; we really don’t,” argued Judge, whose podcast centers on Bravo reality shows.
“You don’t do that because karma is a bitch, and you don’t know when something like that might possibly happen to you in a different form or whatever, or hardship might come your way,” she continued.
“Like, when it comes to financial hardship, that’s one thing, like, probably not a great thing to go after somebody about.”
Catania, who pointed out that Frankel “just does not shut up,” insisted she wouldn’t last “one day” with the Garden State girls.
“I’ve seen her fall apart and cry and unravel on New York ‘Housewives’ for little to nothing,” she told Judge before speaking directly to Frankel.
“So don’t talk about something you could never handle, Bethenny.”
