People hate Emily Brill.

April 2, 2008 · No Comments

Emily Brill is the 20something daughter of Steve Brill, the founder of Court TV (now known as TruTV). She attended Brown and doesn’t seem to need a job because her father is rich (i.e. the recession probably won’t impact her in any way.)
On Emily’s blog, Essentially Emily, she posted about attending a friend’s birthday party on Saturday night. The post was titled “And life is nice, so nice.”
Needless to say, she had fun and there are photos. But the commenters show no mercy:

You should be digging latrines in Falluja, Iraq.Tell the story of your generation working hard to defendthe tax cuts that benefit your father, not giving metaphoricalblow jobs to papparazzi like PMcM, or was it a real one?

nice use of names in BOLD. god, could you be any more full of yourself? maybe it’s time for you to try something new- like graduate school, or staking out your own living, or… just try your hand at being an adult.

Comment on her post about her nemesis, Gawker’s Nick Denton:

From one Brown alumna to another (one who, thankfully, graduated a solid decade before you), I beg of you to refrain from using the name of the school in your posts: it makes it harder for the rest of us to be taken seriously. Which pretty much no one ever does anyway (thank God). But this silly drivel drivel — c’mon, girl: you should know better.

But she does get some love on her vivisection of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City:
I watch this show because it is hysterical (I laugh at the characters more than I laugh with them), but I agree with you Emily. You are from Manhattan and I think we as readers can tell that, I am from NYC too. None of the characters on the “Real Housewives of NYC” were actually born here! You can tell that they all had dreams as little girls of making it to “the big city” because they are obsessed with being comsmopolitan, sophisticated and classy. Unfortunately, their obsession with this plan makes it backfire on them, and they come off as being tacky, unsophisticated, gross and rude…
When you were asked to do a reality show you turned it down because you want to stay true to yourself and keep it real…I bet most of the people who did agree to do the reality show are not even from Manhattan originally! They signed on because they desperately need to reaffirm their status as “Manhattan Socialites” to themselves and the public. Though they are your friends, it’s true that no matter how many designer dresses they buy or exclusive parties they attend they will never actually be true New Yorkers. They will never have what you have; authenticity, and the title of being a real Manhattan Socialite, born and bred!! Sing it loud and proud sister!!!
P.s. Keep up the good work, I love your Blog!
But then the hate returns:
YOU’RE TWENTY FUCKING SIX?!?!?!?!get a job, whore. you make me ashamed to be from the upper east side.
It’s no surprise that the lifestyle of the blatantly idle is causing such rage.
The grand canyon sized chasm between rich and poor Americans. It’s class warfare and the richies started it!
Maybe Emily needs to take a page from heiress Barbara Hutton who sold War Bonds during World War II (but don’t emulate her disastrous love life)?
Or go to New Orleans and help build a house? Of course, she doesn’t have to listen to me, she’s a rich girl.
