Bethenny Frankel Shares Devastating News About Her Dog, Cookie
Today is Manafort Monday, and we"re all gleefully following the news of indictments, arrests, and plea deals. But not all news today is happy news.
Over the weekend, Bethenny Frankel shared some very grim news about her dog, Cookie, experiencing seizures. She asked fans for help and advice, and we have some video of that, below.
Bethenny shared a tragic update this morning.
Bethenny Frankel is more than just a star of The Real Housewives of New York City.
She and her team coordinate disaster relief efforts. She"s been busy this summer, visiting disaster sites in the US such as Houston and Puerto Rico.
For some wealthy celebrities, charity is a means of self-promotion or even a way to alleviate a misplaced sense of guilt.
(Or boredom!)
For Bethenny Frankel, her work in devastated areas is a passion.
As I told my roommate when she arrived in Puerto Rico with private planes loaded with relief supplies: "Bethenny Frankel is not a chillful woman."
Even after everything that she"s gone through in the past few days, Bethenny was sure to tweet shortly after noon on Monday:
"PR/USVI/MEXICO I am still working for you. Still donating, planning flights & working for the cargo ship. xoxo"
Bethenny is also an avid dog-lover.
(Aren"t we all?)
Her dogs have their own social media accounts.
On Saturday, Bethenny took to social media to share the very upsetting news about the health of one of her dogs, Cookie.
In a series of truly hard-to-watch videos, a tearful Bethenny Frankel on Saturday revealed that Cookie was undergoing lengthy seizures.
Separated from her assistants and staff (she was staying in the Hamptons with her daughter, as she does on weekends), Bethenny turned to social media for advice — as so many of us do.
Though Bethenny reportedly took Cookie to the veterinarian after about three minutes of Cookie"s frightening seizures, she got flack from fans for reaching out to social media.
Bethenny replied: "Bc u cannot call dog 911, so I needed you. I literally didn’t know if lifting her would kill her or if she’d swallow tongue."
She took Cookie to the veterinarian, who was 40 minutes away.
In addition to the videos (below), Bethenny also shared updates in a series of tweets.
"My peanut & I experienced a 45 min dog seizure & have obvious decisions to make &” in case” goodbyes to say. @cookiedabooboo is still alive."
Bethenny"s young daughter, whom she shares with Jason Hoppy, experienced all of this, too.
"It’s clear what’ll happen, but panic/trauma w 7 yr old is a lot. Constant seizures for 45 mins in car to vet 45 mins away. #sadhelpless"
Bethenny thanked her fans for their advice and support.
"And u are amazing. When ur alone in something terrifying, u don’t know whether to move dog,put stick in mouth or sit still. This waa rough."
She updated how she was doing throughout the weekend.
"My dog had too long a seizure & I’m pissed the closest vet is 40 mins away. I’m in a bad place. She will be put down"
And the updates got worse.
"She is not regaining consciousness. It’s to be expected but this was a horrifying experience."
Someone asked why she didn"t take Cookie to the vet right away — but she did.
"We did 3 mins into foaming/seizure.Holding 30lb convulsing dog w 7 yr old&driving w bone in dying dog’s mouth is rough."
That is truly heartbreaking.
"Thanks for the love. @cookiedabooboo is alive but had a very high temp & 45 min seizure so she’s resting at hospital. Not time yet…."
She reported good news.
"She is 17 & did have 108 fever & 45 mins of seizures, but she licked Bryn & reacted to my belly rubs. Better today but TBD"
But Bethenny has always been a realist.
"Yes. I’m not delusional abt it, but she oddly seemed peaceful & MD said she’s in no pain & it would be a miracle"
She thanked fans again for their outpouring of love and support.
"I’m grateful. People are loving & caring. Part of me thinks the crap in the world is to bring us closer & make us better. Thank you."
And then, early Monday morning, Bethenny provided another update:
"My baby had 2 more seizures last PM. My heart is broken."
A lot of stories have happy endings.
Tragically, this one does not.
Bethenny posted this morning, on both Twitter and Instagram, a photo of her giving Cookie a kiss.
Her caption reads:
"My furry first baby, May your next life be as beautiful as this one was over the last 17 years. Thank you for all the love you gave to me and my peanut. See you on the other side my love. Xo"
This is devastating news.
Some hateful people will doubtlessly try to tell Bethenny that she"s in the wrong, here.
She is not.
It"s the responsibility of everyone with a pet to make medical decisions for their furry (or scaley or feathered) friend. Cookie was 17 and did not deserve to suffer.
It sounds like Bethenny did the right thing every step of the way. This is heartbreaking news, but sometimes death is the preferable option to slowly suffering.
Our thoughts should be with Bethenny Frankel and her family as their mourn losing a loved one.
Here is the video and, be warned: it can be tough to watch.

Empire Recap: Cookie vs. Lucious!
Cookie was not impressed with her ex-husband’s latest actions on the highly anticipated spring premiere of Empire, but did it live up to the hype?
When Empire Season 3 Episode 10 got underway, Cookie turned on Lucious because of him finding and leaking the information about Angelo letting a girl die.
In typical Lucious fashion, he laughed her threats off and told her if she wanted a war, then he’d fire the first shot. Not one to let someone threaten her, Cookie shocked everyone by putting Leah on stage and introducing her as Lucious’ mother.
This was met with a shocking response from the audience because he had previously released a song about his mother killing herself. Lucious was shocked to the core as his ex-wife stood on stage, cackling like a witch.
It was karma, and Lucious knew Cookie was coming after him. How far would each of them go to get one up on the other?
Pretty far.
Lucious continued his tirade against Angelo because he knew he was Cookie’s sweet spot, so he put a plan in motion to give a $ 300,000 for anyone who had information that would implicate “Dubious Dubois.”
It was bizarre, but also Empire at its finest. The sad thing about all of this was that it put the sons up against one another, with Andre pushing for Nessa to be the support act in concert.
Poor Hakeem thought he and his father were on good terms, but when he heard Cookie was the one who asked Tiana to perform, he kicked Tiana to the curb.
Andre could only laugh at his younger brother as he questioned why his father would betray him like that.
When the time came for Nessa’s performance, her mic crapped out, but Hakeem and Tiana were on tap to take over the stage. Nessa was furious and kicked Tiana off the stage, and the pair got into a huge scuffle.
While the audience was recording the whole thing on their phones, Shine was jumping up and down as though it was a WWE fight, screaming at Nessa to “take the bitch out.”
It was hilarious, but Lucious told Cookie Jamal had escaped from his treatment facility and went on the run with Tori, who was apparently Empire’s version of Britney Spears and was played by Rumer Willis.
Tori had a terrible attitude and Cookie was not impressed with the way the young woman was speaking to her. It turned out that the pair were recording a track together.
It was not established whether Tori was using Jamal to get a big name on a comeback track after such a long time away. According to Hakeem she just disappeared after stripping on stage at one of her concerts.
When all of that drama was over with, Lucious introduced Anika (why the hell is she not in jail?!) as the new head of A & R and noted that she was the “DNA of the company.”
That did not sit well with Cookie, who showed up in the dead of night and started trashing the offices. In an explosive rant, she began trashing everything and narrating what she did to help the company.
It turned out that Cookie was helping her ex-husband a lot more than we were first lead to believe. When she was in prison, Lucious was visiting, and Cookie was giving tips on his recordings.
She pointed out that when he stopped visiting, his next album — which she had no say in — was his worst and the critics believed it.
Lucious did not like hearing the truth, so he told her he was going to kill her, but she hit him on the head with the baseball bat. He followed her up to his office, and she embraced him, but she got more revenge when she left him longing for her.
It was exactly what he deserved, but don’t expect Lucious to give up yet.
The episode was a roaring return for this hit drama series. It was the best episode of the series and set the wheels in motion for what is sure to be a solid conclusion to Empire Season 3.
Other events found Becky getting closer to Thirsty in the hopes of getting Javier thrown out of Empire for his part in stealing her work. Her plan worked, but we’re getting the feeling Thirsty is going to want something in return for his efforts.
What did you think of all the drama?

Empire Season 3 Episode 7 Recap: Did Angelo"s Mother Warm To Cookie?
Cookie Lyon is a romantic woman, you guys!
On Empire Season 3 Episode 7, Cookie was struggling with her feelings after recounting how her father died, while trying to impress Angelo’s mother.
This paved the way for some flashbacks which gave us the reveal that Cookie was thrown out of her home due to her dealings with Lucious.
As much as she tried to apologize to her father for betraying him, he just couldn’t trust her any more. He died three days later following a heart attack and a video Jamal created showed us just how much he meant to her.
Cookie did not want to mourn the loss of her father, and it’s pretty clear she only did so after all these years. That resulted in her missing a meeting with Angelo and his mother.
When Cookie tried to make things right with Angelo, she got rid of some “hood rats” who were hanging around him because he was alone.
Angelo said the best way to apologize to his mother would be with the family by her side. She agreed, but her family did not want to go to the dinner because they didn’t want to be fake.
Jamal went to Carol to find out the truth about his grandfather, forcing her to reveal the truth about the way he died.
Cookie went to Candace when she realized she was way out of her depth with Angelo’s mother. She wanted to act posh and proper, so Candace schooled her on how to be a lady, while throwing some insults at the Trumps.
When Cookie kicked off her dinner party, she got the shock of her life when Lucious and Anika showed up after Hakeem stole the baby. Lucious took great pride in running his family into the ground.
He called out Jamal for being gay and Andre for being crazy. It was horrific and showed just how much of an ass Lucious could be. He was only doing it to make sure Cookie had no one to love her so he could swoop in and get her back.
Unfortunately for him, Angelo’s mother understood what Cookie was going through and requested that she did not hurt her son. And just like that, they were friends.
Poor Cookie thought it was going to get her on her side. Heck, even Angelo offered Cookie some nookie for being such a good girlfriend.
Elsewhere, Nessa, Andre and Shine conspired against Lucious and brought Freda Gatz back into the fold in a big way. Just when Nessa thought Andre was using her, he brought Freda in and they were all fine.
Freda sung a duet with Nessa in which they trashed the Lyons. It was horrible, but it showed that there was no way Andre was going to be back in cahoots with his family any time soon.
All things considered, it was a weak episode with very little plot progression. Lucious seems to be getting hot under the collar for Anika again and I don’t think I can take them seriously as a couple again.
The second half of the season will need to be AMAZING to make up for the crap fest the first half has been.

Dog Turns on Sister, Points Paw at Cookie Snatcher
Bitches be snitchin" in the following video.
We don"t mean this in the pejorative sense.
We mean it in the literal sense, as the adorable video features two canines, Harley and Lola.
They are siblings, but that doesn"t mean one isn"t about to turn on the other.
Calmly and adorably seated side-by-side, the dogs are being asked a very important question.
Their owner knows it"s a big deal. She doesn"t want either of them to feel pressure in answering… but she also wants them to be honest.
Are they ready? Are they prepared to hear it? Will they take the time to process the importance of it?
Okay, here goes: who ate the cookie off the kitchen counter?
IT WAS HER, Harley basically says, patting her sister forcefully on the head with her paw.
The owner wants to be certain, however, so she asks again:
Who ate the cookie off the kitchen counter?
Harley, again, points her paw at Lola.
Okay then. One final time, just to be certain:
Who ate the cookie off the kitchen counter?
At this, Harley continually pats Lola on the head, desperate to get the point across.
And what does Lola have to say for herself? Nothing. She"s been caught. She"s guilty. She"s very sorry.
The video has been viewed over 9 million times on Facebook for one very good reason: it"s hilarious!

Chris Rock: Accused of Lying About Girl Scout Cookie Sales!
If you watched the 2016 Academy Awards on Sunday night then you probably remember the moment that host Chris Rock caught his star-studded off-guard with an unexpected request.
No, we’re not talking about when he asked them to laugh at Stacey Dash’s painfully awkward cameo. We’re talking about the humorously heartwarming segment during which Rock helped his daughter win her troop’s top honor by selling the most Girl Scout cookies.
Stars forked over cash in exchange for boxes of Thin Mints, and other, inferior cookies (Aaron Rodgers reportedly took one for the team by shelling out for a box of Savannah Smiles), and Rock later took the stage to proudly declare that his daughter and her friends had raised a whopping $ 65,243.
Unfortunately, it seems the actual number was a bit lower. Like, about $ 63,000 lower.
Yes, according to multiple outlets the troop only sold 500 boxes, thus bringing in about $ 2,500.
Reps for the Academy claim that the big reveal was intended to be part of a comedy bit, but lots of viewers say they thought the 65,000 figure was legit.
Sounds like an innocent misunderstanding, but if you’re seething with rage over Rock’s cookie deception, prepare to get even more pissed off:
Those girls weren’t even from his daughter’s Girl Scout troop!
Oh, well. At the end of the day, some folks who can definitely afford it forked over cash to a worthy organization.
If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at Stacey Dash for trying her hand at comedy.

Tom Cruise Hates John Travolta, Throws Tantrums Over Cookie Dough, Leah Remini Says
Over the past week, Leah Remini has given a number of candid interviews about her time as a member of the Church of Scientology.
Remini has gone into detail about why she left Scientology. She’s made shocking allegations about the sexual harassment she suffered as a young member of the Church.
But perhaps it’s not surprising that the comments that are garnering the most attention are Leah’s criticisms of Scientology’s golden boy, Tom Cruise.
Remini’s new memoir, which hits stores today, details several incidents of shocking behavior from Cruise.
In an excerpt released yesterday, Remini claimed that she once saw Cruise and Katie Holmes neglect their daughter, as Suri – who was just 7 months old at the time – laid screaming on a bathroom floor.
Leah’s latest revelations are pretty tame by comparison, but they still paint a picture Cruise as a seriously troubled and possibly abusive man.
In new excerpts from Remini’s book obtained by Radar Online, the actress opens up about her time as a member of Cruise’s handpicked inner-circle – and all the bizarre behavior she witnessed during that very strange time in her life.
Remini writes that she was one of several Hollywood stars to be chosen for the Cruise Crew, but notes that big-name Scientologists such as John Travolta and Kirstie Alley were excluded from the group.
“I had heard that Tom didn’t like them,” Remini writes.
She goes on to say that remaining in Tom’s good graces meant engaging in weirdly childlike activities, such as massive games of hide and seek.
According to Remini, Cruise’s childishness extends to his temper, and she recalls seeing him berate an assistant who Cruise believed had forgotten the cookie dough necessary for an afternoon of baking with his “friends.”
“Get in the f–king present time, is what you need to do!” Cruise reportedly screamed. “It was horrible to watch someone I admired come undone, and even worse to witness the fear in the assistant’s eyes.”

Empire Season 2 Episode 3 Recap: You Can"t Keep Cookie Down
“You are the baddest b!tch ever, badder than the animals who currently populate your wardrobe.” – Anika, bowing down to the greatness that is Cookie
On Empire Season 2 Episode 3, Lucious may have gotten the last laugh at the end, but does anyone really think Cookie Lyon is down for the count?
If anything, she showed she’s even more formidable as an opponent and record company shot-caller. Where do we even begin with this woman?
Maybe with the fact that she walks into her son’s pad and declares, “Hakeem, get yo black a$ $ up! You know you gotta be on Sway in the morning!”
Or the fact that her potential girl group members are expected to do push-ups (real push-ups) in stilettos while berated about Beyonce’s work ethic.
No, no, let’s go with the scene at the dinner table.
The night Lucious got sprung from the slammer, he invited the family – 60 percent of which has deserted him for their own label – over for dinner.
His motivation? To “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we war.” That is … unless they “dismantle this little Lyon Dynasty and all will be forgiven.”
Cookie and Hakeem insisted they don’t need him, Lucious called the duo’s bluff, saying they can’t eat without him because all they have is pride.
Which he adds, tastes chewy and disgusting.
Then Cookie zinged him with this comeback:
“I’m always gonna eat … just not with you.”
Then she yanked the tablecloth out from under the dishes – slowly, but purposely – as she peaced out in a calm but deliberate display of EFF YOU.
Game on, then.
Lucious’ next move was to call in a favor from Anika to sabotage Lyon Dynasty, but given her propensity to meet with all parties, whose side is she on?!
Andre, meanwhile, is desperate to get back into his good graces, and pitches him on acquiring a radio company with access to every urban market.
When that didn’t work, Dre told him that Rhonda is pregnant (after he told Cookie, and which still feels like might be a red herring). Lucious’ reaction?
Fear, initially, given the flashbacks to his own bipolar mom, then bitterness, that his first-born son would actually try to use this to get what he wants.
Guilty as charged, Dre? Again, something tells us that baby inside her isn’t real and this is about to boil over into a truly epic plot twist or 10.
If you watch Empire online and see next week’s promo, he and Rhonda are caught in a thoroughly insane situation, for what that’s worth.
The music this week was awesome, even if Jamal performing on Leviticus catwalk without Hakeem (but with Pitbull) felt wrong somehow.
Speaking of ‘Keem, though, he was unreal, spitting mad game as he crashed the party with Timbaland (executive produces Empire music).
Shown up and publicly at that, Lucious took Dre’s advice, buying the radio company and signing Valentina out from under Cookie and ‘Keem.
Just moments before their radio debut, too. That was cold s–t, but not even Lucious Lyon can bat 1.000 when it comes to recruiting artists.
Earlier, Jamal failed to sign Freda Gatz, a young rapper Lucious covets for the Empire, then got jealous at just how much Lucious cares.
Lucious then approached her personally on the streets, but gunshots broke out during a rap battle, obviously, and she remains unsigned.
Finally, he came face-to-face with the prosecutor in his case, who informed him that his case is still open and she WILL take him down.
She boasted, curiously, that she had Vernon Turner stashed away where he couldn’t get at him. Hopefully no one asks Dre about that …
