The new Netflix hit show, Members Only, is said to draw parallels to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, and its real-life members reportedly aren’t pleased with member Rosalyn Yellin‘s role on the show.
A source told Page Six that the Palm Beach club goers have been “overheard making plans to band against Rosalyn.” Together, they will “sign a letter demanding she be booted from the ritzy club.”
Real Housewives of Mar-a-Lago?
Rosalyn has plenty of pics of herself at the club on social media, including one with DJT.
“I have been a member-in-good-standing at Mar-a-Lago for over four years. I have spent that time focused on philanthropy and giving back through charity events held at the club.”
“It is disappointing when a show created for entertainment is mischaracterized in a way that distracts from the real work being done.”
Fake news!
The insider said the backlash may have less to do with Rosalyn personally but how the show represents Palm Beach. “We hear the actual upper crust has never heard of the women in the cast, who compete for the title of ‘Queen of Palm Beach.’”
“It’s so cheesy,” one Palm Beacher told us. “No one even knows who these women are.”
Many are annoyed by the show, calling it tacky. Others have shaded the cast’s aesthetic. “Fake boobs, bad hair extensions, tattoos, platforms, cheap clothes. It’s the polar opposite of Palm Beach,” added an insider.
Several of the Mar-a-Lago members noted that the reality personalities don’t live on the island. “Not one of them lives in Palm Beach or represents the women of Palm Beach.”
“It’s more like Vegas or Miami,” said another source. “And it’s very aggressive.”
According to WPTV, the show’s production company Seersucker “filed only one permit in Palm Beach,” which was canceled. The other filming locations include Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton.
