Palm Beach Reality Star Calls Co-Star 'Mean Girl Liar'

Gale Brophy, a 70-year-old socialite featured in Netflix's 'Members Only: Palm Beach,' has publicly accused castmate Taja Abitbol of being a "mean girl" and a "horrific liar." Brophy claims Abitbol lied about her drinking at a premiere party, asserting it was a publicity stunt to remove her. Abitbol, in turn, called Brophy a liar and an envious person playing the victim.

The series delves into the friendships and rivalries of affluent women in Palm Beach, with Brophy also expressing reservations about co-star Hilary Musser's jealousy. Brophy, a long-time resident and philanthropist, joined the show partly for marketing her Catskill properties and to encourage younger women's involvement in charity events.

Despite the show's premise of featuring Palm Beach residents, several cast members, including Abitbol and the youngest cast member Ro-mina Ustayev, reside in Boca Raton, over 30 miles away. Abitbol has a history of legal issues, including a lawsuit with a neighbor over a purported attempt to intentionally start a fire for publicity.

Fellow cast members like Hilary Musser and Rosalyn Yellin have also had public feuds on the show, contributing to the drama. The series aims to capture the tension between Palm Beach's established elite and the influx of new money from tech and hedge fund magnates.
