OMAROSA to BETHENNY: “You Get To Walk Around and Be Mediocre and You Still Get Rewarded With Things”

biased, subjective, or be incorrect when making strong statements and points of views).

I take my journalistic integrity and duties very serious most especially when I have a strong point to make about something or somebody (which I do-later). And it was important to me (this time), on MY blog, to get to the bottom of just why Omarosa made such as strong statement in that sit-down that seemed to come out of nowhere.

Turns out, I’m glad I did.

So, it wasn’t a “confuse and diffuse” tactic.

[clap for Omarosa for me]

And that statement did come from a “place” in response to something that this time, Omarosa can truthfully say “the camera didn’t catch it/the audience didn’t see it.”

[clap for Omarosa again]

And what the audience, or you or me didn’t’ see/know what that-that comment was in response to an ongoing dispute between Bethenny and Omarosa that stemmed from an unsettled wrangle between she and Omarosa that they had on another show.

images  So…”what had happened was”………..neither Bethenny OR Omarosa gave us the back story or just why Omarosa said “It’s different for you and I. I’m an African American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and still get rewarded for it. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business.

2009 VH1 Divas - Arrivals What I found (while doing my research on she and Bethenny’s full rivalry history) was that Bethenny (at one time) made a statement regarding Omarosa’s [and I quote]: “lack of success” [unquote].

So, (according to the video tape snippet)

both of them sat on that couch with Omarosa sort of picking up where only she and Bethenny knew where they last left off-so Omarosa’s statement to Bethenny: “It’s different for you and I. I’m an African American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and still get rewarded for it. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business” …was in response to Bethenny making a statement about Omarosa’s “lack of success.”

It’s just that we (in the above posted video tape viewing audience) didn’t get the origin of why Omarosa said that, so it went over kind of out of context, off the wall, and “defensive” for no reason, which [ironically, typically] is right in line with Omarosa’s m-o and how she is also known for taking context to her own other level.

But to that [statement of Omarosa’s] I want to say this:

beth In a way that only Omarosa can do best: twist words [to confuse and diffuse] this time, she chose a better strategy: make a grand statement (insinuating) without actually saying what it is she really wanted to say: “Bethenny, you are white woman. And I am a black/African American woman in this business [and I’ll quote Omarosa’s actual words]: “we have to be exceptional to get anything in this business,” [unquote]. We have to show and prove in ways well over what you have accomplished in this business in order to get where you get where you are right now in this business. White privilege is real in America and Tinsel is its own other ‘America.’ Here you are, right here, right now, having no footprints greater or longer than mine in this business but yet and still-violia! You are now an ‘Oprah’ without having come near even so much as lighting a candle to walking Oprah’s footsteps and now you’re doing the ‘Oprah’ thing.” 

…to put it so eloquently as Omarosa [should have] said [what she really meant], although she did say (but only in so many words).
