Here's why snooty NYC co-op boards are really rejecting influencers like Livvy Dunne: ‘Cause of concern'
Just ask Livvy Dunne, the 22-year-old influencer and former gymnast who practically got the door slammed in her face when she tried to buy a three-bedroom Upper West Side apartment that once belonged to Babe Ruth.
'I was going to buy it, I was going to pay with cash. I wanted this apartment bad. The realtor was so confident,' Dunne told her followers on TikTok Tuesday.
The SI Swimsuit cover girl, who is dating Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, said she was 'literally supposed to get the keys' after putting in an all-cash offer on the $1.6 million pad and had already hired a decorator.

Instead, Dunne revealed 'The people in the building voted to not have me live there … they denied me.'
Real-estate brokers told The Post that NYC co-ops are leery of influencers with thousands of followers — even those with millions of dollars to burn — because of paparazzi, lurking fans and other unwanted buzz.
'Influencers today carry a level of visibility once reserved for traditional celebrities, and with that can come added attention, disruption or even safety concerns. Boards … are often wary of anything that might attract crowds and cameras or compromise the peace,' said real-estate specialist Travis Wilburn, founder of The100 Collection.
'It's not necessarily personal — it's about protecting the collective environment.'
11 'There's this opening of new wealth that, as an influencer, is difficult to explain to a traditional co-op board,' Jade Skener, a commercial real estate agent and star of Netflix's 'Owning Manhattan,' told The Post.

And then there's the issue of staid co-op boards not necessarily understanding the influencer revenue stream.
'There's this opening of new wealth that, as an influencer, is difficult to explain to a traditional co-op board,' Jade Skener, a commercial real estate agent and star of Netflix's 'Owning Manhattan,' told The Post.
'It's like 'OK, you have all this money — but how do I know you know how to manage it when you haven't worked a traditional job?'' said Skener, 29, who has more than 100,000 followers herself. 'They need proof that you understand how to do this.'
Skener said she's had co-op deals go south because influencers tend to have 1009 tax forms rather than W-2s that show a steady and more secure income. Younger influencers buying a first apartment with new money and little credit history also have a Sisyphean hill to climb.

And it's not just a wannabe buyer's financials or letters or recommendation that co-op board members are studying.
'The co-op is reviewing the applicants financials and the risk of the default and the propensity to be a good neighbor,' Peter Riolo, a Manhattan-based real estate broker with Riolo Properties, told The Post.
In other words, someone is probably scrolling through an applicant's social media to look out for any signs of partying, excessive spending or over-the-top notoriety.
'If the messaging they're putting out in their influencer life is portraying them as being a bad neighbor, that's a cause of concern,' Riolo said.
11 In 2022, former Yankee Alex Rodriguez almost lost out on a $9.9 million co-op on Central Park West. 'He almost didn't get accepted and begged the board to accept him,' one insider revealed to The Post at the time.

'Maybe they didn't want a public figure living there,' Dunne told her TikTok followers Tuesday.

According to a second source, it was a 'typical white-glove Central Park West co-op. They don't want anyone with celebrity status living here. That is not what they are going for.'
11 Rumor has it Madonna was snubbed by both the Dakota and the San Remo on the UWS (according to lore, Diane Keaton was the only member of the latter's board to vote Yes for the Material Girl).

That attitude is why, Riolo said, he typically advises his famous buyers — whether influencers, actors, musicians or athletes — to opt for condos, as they require no board approval.
'It's why celebrity clients buy condos — for anonymity,' he explained. 'Many will choose not to go through the co-op process because of how invasive it is and [instead] buy a condo through an LLC. Even though they have to disclose who they are, there's no approval process where the board has the right to review and reject without giving a cause.'
The streets of Manhattan are lined with the egos of A-listers barred from posh properties.

'Long story short, don't try to live in a co-op,' she lamented on TikTok. 'You might get denied and you won't get Babe Ruth's apartment.'

How Ozzy Osbourne became the original King of reality TV with 'The Osbournes'
It was a crazy train. On Tuesday, Ozzy Osbourne died at age 76, five years after he announced his Parkinson's disease diagnosis in January 2020. He passed away, 'surrounded by love,' his family said in a statement to The Post. The rock star was the Prince of Darkness, the father of heavy metal, but perhaps the strangest Ozzy milestone is starring on one of the first reality TV shows – with the seminal series, 'The Osbournes,' which aired on MTV from 2002 to 2005. Sue Kolinsky, who worked as a producer on 'The Osbournes,' exclusively told The Post, 'We realized early on that anything Ozzy did was going to be funny. Like making a milkshake – we were gonna have [that be] three minutes of an episode. He was so funny, and he had no idea how funny he was.' 12 Ozzy, Sharon, Jack, and Kelly on 'The Osbournes' in 2003. AP She added, 'No one ever said to Ozzy, 'hey, can you say that again?' Whatever you shot, that's what we had to use. And that's what made the show so brilliant, because it really was real.' Kolinsky continued, 'Everything he did was kind of like a crazy rocker version of 'Father Knows Best.' And he was kind.' Jason Mittell, professor of Film and Media Culture at Middlebury College, exclusively told The Post, 'It's pretty amazing that it started in 2002, which was really the very beginning of the reality TV boom. 'Survivor' and 'Big Brother' had only been on for a couple of years at that point.' He explained that when 'The Osbournes' premiered, 'There was a real sense at the time that reality TV was a passing fad.' 12 Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne at the MTV EMA's 2014 at The Hydro on November 9, 2014 in Glasgow, Scotland. Dave Hogan/MTV 2014 With 'The Osbournes' diving into the family's life and following them as characters, 'that really had not been done before on TV,' he shared. It was swiftly followed by Paris Hilton's 'The Simple Life' in 2003, and the reign of the Kardashian family, which first launched on TV when 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' premiered in 2007, just two years after 'The Osbournes' ended. The show followed the outrageous antics and home life of the Black Sabbath frontman, his wife Sharon, 72, his daughter Kelly, 40, and son Jack, 39. The couple's other daughter, Aimee, 41, chose not to participate in the series. 12 Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne, Jack Osbourne, Minnie, Kelly Osbourne, Robert Osbourne in 2003. ©MTV/courtesy Everett 'He and the family were the ones who really put reality TV on the map. I believe the reason why the show was so successful was because they really were a loving family,' Kolinsky said. 'And we got such creative freedom because it was new. I don't know what other family in the rock world would have been able to pull this off.' She added, 'The family was just so gracious with giving us access to everything about their lives. They let us film them when they woke up in the morning. They let us film them in every situation that they were going through. They never said, 'No, we don't want to see ourselves in that light.'' 12 Ozzy Osbourne in Hollywood in 2024. ALEXJR / BACKGRID Kolinsky recalled an incident when Ozzy and Sharon were leaving on a trip, but 'The Osbournes' wasn't allowed to film on a plane. So, the creative team filmed the pair sitting in 'a black SUV that kind of looked like a private plane,' she recalled. 'And we found shots of a pilot's hand punching in instruments. We used that and cut to his assistant. So, we made his assistant the pilot, and tilted the shot, to make it look like the car was taking off.' She recalled showing Ozzy the footage before it aired, 'and he was on the floor, hysterical. Like 'Oh my God, I can't believe you made the car a plane and used Tony as the pilot!' At the time, 'The Osbournes' was the highest-rated show in MTV's history, drawing over 5 million viewers per episode. 12 Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne at their home on December 31, 2004 in Buckinghamshire, England. Getty Images During a 2021 appearance on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast, Kelly said that when 'The Osbournes' began, 'No one had ever done what we did before. So as we were doing it, we didn't know either. We didn't know what they were going to use, and what they weren't, because they filmed everything.' She recalled that when the show premiered, 'The next day, everything changed. It was like Beatlemania, except for 'The Osbournes.'' In 2002, the Kardashians and 'Real Housewives' weren't even a twinkle in TV producers' eyes. 12 Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' in 2013. Brian Bowen Smith/E! Reality TV existed – that was the year 'The Bachelor' premiered, too – but it was mostly competition shows like 'American Idol' or ones about niche industries, such as 'Monster Garage.' Today, fame-hungry people let viewers into their lives all the time – on shows like 'Vanderpump Rules' or 'Below Deck.' A slew of celebs also have their own reality shows, such as Sylvester Stallone in the 2023 Paramount+ show 'The Family Stallone,' Denise Richards (her first of several shows, 'Denise Richards: It's Complicated,' premiered in 2008). Alec and Hilaria Baldwin currently have TLC's 'The Baldwins.' 12 Kim Kardashian,, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris Jenner on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.' 12 Mia Regan, Romeo Beckham, Cruz Beckham, Harper Beckham, David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz attend the Netflix 'Beckham' UK Premiere at The Curzon Mayfair on October 3, 2023 in London, England. WireImage David and Victoria Beckham also saw viral success with their 2023 Netflix series, 'Beckham.' But, the Osbournes 'set the template,' Mittell explained. About Ozzy's unlikely path from heavy metal rocker to reality TV star, he said, 'I think a lot of [the show's appeal] was just the combination of the sense of, here's this guy who is known for these massive rock shows and this flamboyant onscreen personality and the piercing voice. And here he is, just watching history documentaries. Or, wandering around the house, and living the normal family life.' He added, 'So I think that was a big part of [the show's success], was the idea that it was such an unusual contrast to what we would think the life of an iconic rocker would be.' 12 Annemarie Wiley, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Minkoff on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' in 2023. Emily Shur/Bravo In a 2019 SiriusXM interview, reporter Jess Cagle told Sharon, 'Without you, you realize, there would be no Kardashians.' The family matriarch replied, 'It was really Ozzy. He was the one that was in the public eye. He was the celebrity, and he's the one that took all the risks….I think it paid off for Ozzy because people saw how funny he is. He's just hysterical, and a teddy bear.' 'The Osbournes' showed the metal star as a foul-mouthed loving father who was often amusingly bewildered by mundane daily life. 12 Sharon Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, Jack Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne appear as guest presenters on MTV TRL at The Penthouse, Leicester Square on December 17, 2004 in London. Getty Images For instance, in the series premiere episode, Ozzy struggled to figure out how to use a TV remote. 'I'm a very simple man. You've got to have computer knowledge to turn the f–king TV on and off,' he said. 'I pressed this one button…I'm going: 'What is this? Where am I, man?'' 'He just didn't really care that much about doing anything embarrassing,' Mittell told The Post. 12 The show only lasted four seasons. Getty Images Cameron Glendenning, who became a camera operator on 'The Osbournes,' told The Post that Ozzy would hang out in the garage with the show's crew at night when he was bored, and he'd prank fans who would turn up at his gate by turning the sprinklers on them. 'He'd come in there and he would be like, 'Oh yeah, let's get him! Let's go get him,'' he recalled. To Glendenning, it was just another day in the office. 'He's a f–king rock legend and we were just a bunch of kids in his garage shooting a TV show about his life and he would like break that fourth wall, walking in the garage, and we would all, you be like, 'Oh s–t! The boss is here,' but you know he was just so funny,' he added. 12 Ozzy has mixed feelings about his time on television. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The 'War Pigs' singer had mixed feelings about his own show, which is why it lasted only four seasons, despite its outsized impact on TV history. 'I don't know how the Kardashians have done it for so long — it sent us crazy at the end,' Ozzy recounted in January 2023. 'I am not sorry I did it, but after three or four years I said, 'Do you know what, we're going to lose somebody because it is getting too crazy. There is rock 'n' roll fame, which is pretty intense, but that Osbourne level was just unbelievable.' Kolinsky remembers the show as being 'part of something so special, and so unique, and so iconic.' She recalled an incident where she felt the show's impact. Shortly after it premiered, the producers went out to the House of Blues. There were no seats available, but when it came out that they worked on 'The Osbournes,' they were swiftly escorted to the venue's VIP section. 'That was the effect that show had on people. Everybody wanted to know you. [Ozzy] united different generations. The fact that he was a heavy metal rocker didn't dismay an older crowd from being hooked on the show. And, to so many people who didn't know him from his music, he was just this funny TV dad.'

Bethenny Frankel rants about ‘stupid' $7-per-day coffee trend — but her fans clap back: ‘It's all us poors have to look forward to'
She's causing a brew haha. Bethenny Frankel says people who spend $7 every day on coffee are 'stupid' — but her fans say the small indulgence is the only thing they can afford in today's economy. The former 'Real Housewives of New York' star, 54, took to TikTok to make the claim, encouraging fans to save cash on coffee by brewing it at home. 'It could be like $8, $9 for these lavender lattes… it's so stupid, and also it's like having a milkshake. Make it at home and make it yourself,' Frankel said as she sipped on a caffeinated beverage concocted in the kitchen of her Hamptons home. 'Take the $7 that you do a day and multiply it by 365. It's a number, it's a real number,' she continued, before concluding: 'Don't be dumb.' Despite Frankel's sage financial advice, hundreds of TikTok viewers said they weren't willing to give up their daily takeaway coffee. 'The amount of happiness the $7 gives me. Nope. Not gonna give that up,' one popular comment read. Other cash-strapped commenters claimed coffee was their only indulgence, given that everything else was too expensive to afford. 'It's all us poor have some days to look forward to,' one declared. 'People do it cause it [as] their treat to themselves. A lot of people can't afford a vacation, a new home, new car… it's a lipstick economy,' another stated. According to Investopedia, 'the lipstick effect is when consumers still spend money on small indulgences during recessions, economic downturns, or when they personally have little cash. They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items; however, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items.' 'I spend 10 a week on 2 iced coffees,' another wrote beneath Frankel's viral video. 'That's 520 bucks a year and it makes me happy. People can say the same for many things we spend money on. Guess what, who cares. Let people live.' Frankel clarified that she wasn't telling her followers to quit coffee completely, saying she also enjoys a takeout beverage on occasion. 'I mean the everyday, two times a day person,' she responded. 'I do it sometimes but rarely,' the star added in the caption of the clip. Solve the daily Crossword
