The Jewish Bridezilla

By Jewcy Staff / November 13, 2009

Bridezillas, the cable reality show that could alternately be titled Crazy Bitches Getting Married and Treating Everyone Around them Like Shit, leaves no stereotypical stone unturned. For African-American brides, the show plays bad hip-hop elevator music in the background. Southern brides get a twangy faux-banjo. And now they’ve squeezed two bad cultural cliches into a single, horrible bride: meet Karen, who is a) Jewish and b) from Staten Island. (Those of you who watched the breathtaking True Life: I’m Getting Married might have some idea what to expect here.)

Karen relished her Bridezillaness and was so bad that her antics were stretched into three episodes. Within those episodes, she threatened to fire bridesmaids, got thrown out of her own bachelorette party for insulting the club’s bouncer, announced that she didn’t want any "poor people" to come to her wedding, and cussed out a vendor in Hebrew. But why should we tell you about Karen when the internet has kindly provided some evidence that you can view on your own? You might want to watch this clip through your fingers – you know, like a horror movie.

 

And here’s the part where she flips out on the bouncer (who she keeps calling a doorman).

    …the clip backs the old stereotype that Jews=New Yorkers and New Yorkers=a**holes.

    I dunno, maybe one or both of these are points of pride among some of us.

    When they showed scenes of the wedding at the end, the groom was wearing a kippah and stepped on a glass. So yeah, Jewish. Sigh.

    I … am completely horrified. Worst Bridezilla I’ve seen. Ever.

     Entertaining, but frighteningly so. If I never resemble her in any way, it’s a good thing.
