Hold onto your throw pillows and brace yourselves for some news that’s as shocking as finding out your favorite cushion is actually filled with marshmallows. Bethenny Frankel’s interior designer, Brooke Gomez, has left the building – and no, it’s not for a coffee break.
Over the weekend, in a plot twist worthy of a Bravo reality show, Brooke Gomez, the creative genius behind Bethenny’s fabulous spaces and a star on “Bethenny Ever After,” was discovered in her Upper East Side apartment, throwing the chic neighborhood into a design dilemma. At 49 years old, she left us wondering if she took her knack for aesthetics to the great beyond.
Picture this: officials barging into Brooke’s apartment around 8 pm like they’re on a dramatic home makeover show, only to find her in an “advanced state of decomposition.” It’s like extreme home makeover, but instead of tearing down walls, they’re dealing with the ultimate feng shui challenge.
Now, before you start suspecting foul play, the authorities are on it, and they swear this isn’t some sort of design heist gone wrong. Medical examiners are channeling their inner Sherlock Holmes to figure out what led to Brooke’s untimely departure from the world of exquisite color palettes and tasteful drapery.
Even Brooke’s design firm’s Instagram account couldn’t escape the somber news, confirming her grand exit with a statement that could make even the most stoic decorator shed a tear. They’re planning a shindig to celebrate Brooke’s life, proving that even in death, this designer knows how to throw a party. Funeral arrangements are pending, as they probably need time to coordinate a ceremony that’s as aesthetically pleasing as one of Brooke’s flawlessly curated rooms.
In the world of high-end interior design, Brooke Gomez may have left us, but her legacy lives on like a perfectly arranged bouquet that refuses to wilt. Let’s raise a glass (of non-staining red wine, of course) to a designer who left her mark on more than just throw pillows. Cheers to you, Brooke – may your heavenly abode be as stylish as your best room reveal!
