Reply to comment by nelson64 in The owner of Rebelle Bagel was just named as 2023 James Beard Award Semifinalist by lestermagnum

Because the nomination was for specifically her and not anyone else? And I guess that is who most people have a problem with.

I assume they're referencing the fact that OP also mentioned someone from Pizza Marvin was nominated.

Three Rhode Island chefs nominated. I guess she's the only one mentioned since this is the PVD sub, but I think the other two are worth mentioning.

I said something similar above and got downvoted to hell. It’s crazy how obsessed this sub is with her. Sometimes I wonder if one of the mods or just an extremely frequent user on here has some personal beef against her.

The passion that I see in these posts about her often feel too passionate to just be “local gossip”.

I mean how many other small business owners in pvd have had ACTUAL scandals? Like I know of two that’re backed by the same mlm, I know another who beat up their spouse, I know another who berates their employees and calls them actual awful shit (not just asks them to do their job correctly in a less than nice tone). The list can go on and on. But for some reason this sub is fixated on the “overly emotional” latina.

I know I’m just saying it’s a little obsessive how much people are bothered by her. Like this post could have just said Pizza Marvin’s chef was nominated and snubbed her. But OP made it a point to mention her cus this sub is obsessed with hating her lol. It’s just so silly.

She has her quirks and can go off the rails but this sub goes so fucking hard on her sometimes it's honestly cringey. The last "incident" was her posting a meme about a review, something most places already do, but hey, fuck her, right?

And I'm saying this as someone who has been blocked by her and I don't even like her fucking food 🙄

It kind of just feels like a circlejerk of the same 5 people that are just too obsessed with not liking her.

Like if I didn't like someone and found them annoying the way this sub finds her...I wouldn't be posting about her every single time she does literally anything.

This post alone just shows that people are bitter that she's successful. If anything just dont post about her in the hopes that people forget about her. People on this sub are giving her the attention they don't want her to have which is so contradictory to me lol.

Either way, I hate that I cant go on my city's sub without seeing some negative gossipy stuff about a local restaurant owner.

Where are the threads complaining about owners of other businesses that have done WAYYYY worse shit?

I already feel like I'm giving too much energy to this haha.
