Attention enraged peoples of Bay Ridge, Gravesend and Bensonhurst — and we know there are a lot of you, judging by your comments on this post: You now have a public forum to express your distress at Oxygen’s latest stereotype-laden, girls behaving badly program Brooklyn 11223. As highlighted by The Bensonhurst Bean, Councilman Vincent Gentile and a group of “unnamed prominent Bay Ridge women” will host “a press conference in defense of our neighborhood” tomorrow. The protestors will meet outside of the Beyond Dance Studio 8717 Third Ave. at 11am to address their grievances with they say is the show’s crude and reductive portrayal of Bay Ridge residents, grievance including that the zip code isn’t even in Bay Ridge. Well guys, now you know how New Jersey feels.

The people representing this show, “acting” on it and in general supporting it are IDIOTS. It’s shameful, sad stereotypes and BAYRIDGE DOESN’T NEED this junk! Take it somewhere else!
nice going. i had no idea you were so far above so many of us in brooklyn. stereotypes? ha!
“Well guys, now you know how New Jersey feels.”
As someone who grew up at the so-called Jersey Shore (shudder), I can say I only wish people there protested MTV’s nefarious invasion. Instead they welcomed it with big greedy mouths and horrible, spin-off merchandise. Growing up you wouldn’t think Seaside to get any trashier, but they proved us all wrong.
“and we know there are a lot of you, judging by your cmments on this post:” really?
come on, 2 comments and you can determine how people feel. That’s a pretty amazing talent you have there. Get real. And you certainly don’t have a clue as to what the show is about or anything that pertains to any of the characters on the show.
It’s called a hyper-link. The underlined words link you to another site. Typically the underlined words refer to the linked site, not the current site.
THANK YOU.
not THIS post right here; the earlier post I linked to!
Wbat am I missing? There are now SEVEN big fat comments on this post, not just two. Anyway, this press conference sounds like a dream for the 11223 producers. Also, “Nay Ridge,” ha ha.
This is truly outrageous! Brooklyn communities do not need this type of negative image! This show is garbage and does not represent any Brooklyn resident I know. The sad part is our society loves these types of shows and makes heros/idols of these no bodies!!

have you seen the show?
Are these girls even from bay ridge I mean come on at least have ppl on the show that live here it’s like the jersey shore shit there all Suppose to be Italian but snooks and jenni are NOT Italian. I’m disappointed
You people are ridiculous. It’s not that serious . If your so worried about the image it will have on Bayridge then you have bigger problems to worry about.
I’m really looking forward to watching this reality show its very interesting forget what other people say this show is the best to hit oxygen can’t wait for the drama
the tough girl is the one i like she has swag and toughness when this show airsim going to be ecstatic yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fyi brooklyn isn’t bay ridge its new york
These people all hang out with fucking roxy heads from Mill Basin. Ive seen these kids several times get their asses kicked. They think they are tough guys but John wears makeup wtf is going on there. Real tough guy wearing Mabalene. Plus these girls are straight nastyyyy. Angela is a fat pig she is so gross she makes me want to throw up.
i know someone that lives next to the gurl in the red and she dont dress and do her hair like that this show is just to make a name for dem…her back yeard is not even that nice . the only picked a lil corner in the back and tryed to make it nice …shows fake
omg please learn the english language… thank you.
she has people coming to her house to do her hair and make-up so fake
Every neighborhood has its trash…. Of course the media is going to focus on the trash to make a buck…
This show is not even close to being an accurate portrayl of Brooklyn. They can’t even get the zip code right. Bay Ridge’s zip code is 11209, morons!
The ONLY ONE who lives in 11223, WHICH IS GRAVESEND, BY THE WAY, is Joey Lynn Tekluve. Valona Saka lives in Mill Basin, which is zip code 11234. Angelina Favuzza lives in Bergen Beach, which is also zip code 11234. Carla Cozzolino, Amanda Gordon and Christie Livoti live in Bay Ridge, which is zip code 11209.
