Apparently members of Donald Trump’s Palm Beach club are not fans of the new Netflix show “Members Only.”
In a plot point fit for reality TV, a source tells Page Six that members of Mar-a-Lago have been overheard making plans to band together to sign a letter demanding that cast member Rosalyn Yellin be booted from the ritzy club no that’s she’s appearing on the streamer’s “Real Housewives” rival.
Almost every review of the show points out that Trump’s so-called “Winter White House” is mentioned ad nauseum.
“It features repeatedly as a reference point for access, recognition, and connections, even though the show was not permitted to film inside the club,” said one review.
But while it may be off-limits for the film crew, some of the cast are members.
Yellin has plenty of pics of herself at the club on Instagram, including one of her posing with President Trump.
She is also set to host a brunch there this weekend for Dr. Mehmet Oz’s charity, HealthCorp.
“I have been a member-in-good-standing at Mar-a-Lago for over four years and have spent that time focused on philanthropy and giving back through charity events held at the club,” Yelllin told Page Six. “It is disappointing when a show created for entertainment is mischaracterized in a way that distracts from the real work being done.”
Alas, Yellin — a mom and philanthropist originally from Bucks County, Penn. — apparently isn’t exactly the ambassador Mar-a-Lago’s gilded set wants, though it may have less to do with her personally than Palm Beach’s collective disdain for the show itself.
We hear the actual upper crust has never heard of the women in the cast, who are ostensibly fighting 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, while others have taken aim at the outfits, which are a far cry from Lily Pulitzer.
“Fake boobs, bad hair extensions, tattoos, platforms, cheap clothes — its the polar opposite of Palm Beach,” sniffed one source.
Several noted that the women — gasp — don’t live on the island of Palm Beach.
“Not one of them lives in Palm Beach or represents the women of Palm Beach,” said another source. “It’s more like Vegas or Miami. 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.
