THE CAST OF “PRINCESS: LONG ISLAND” MAUL A 9/11 MEMORIAL (2013)
Bravo’s Princess: Long Island is a television program about spoiled, fame-hungry, twenty-something nitwits who live with their parents on Long Island. And in July, cast member Amanda Bertoncini and her co-stars staged a photo shoot that featured the statue of Jonathan Ielpi, a 29-year-old firefighter who died on 9/11.
Too stupid to take a moment and figure out why the memorial was there, the gals hung all over it, pretended to kiss it, and even fed him a beer. When the show aired and controversy hit, Bravo and Bertoncini threw around “Our bads!” But we have a hunch producers of the show knew damn well what they were doing, and loved the free publicity.
