Bravo’s latest high-life reality series, Princesses: Long Island, has received serious criticism from the Jewish-American community because it plays into negative stereotypes.

The show follows six spoiled women – Amanda, Casey, Ashlee, Chanel, Joey and Erica – in their 20s who are currently living with their parents but who are on the lookout for a nice, rich, Jewish husband.

In the meantime the women wander around Long Island, buying exorbitantly expensive things and picking cat fights with each other.

One castmember described herself succinctly, “I’m Jewish, I’m American, and I’m a princess.”

Princesses: Long Island has already riled a large group of people even though it has only aired three episodes since June 2, reports the Huffington Post.

The Jewish-American community says the show promotes negative stereotypes that young Jewish women are spoiled, avaricious, and dependent on their parents or a spouse.

Rabbi Marci Bellows of the Temple B’nai Torah in New York especially found the show upsetting.

She said, “It is even worse when we showcase these stereotypes to people of other religions and cultures. Jewish women can be strong, independent, and wise – a fact missing from this terrible show.”

The Wall Street Journal reported that Steve Israel – the congressman who represents the district from the show – is also appalled by the show.

He said, “I initially thought it was all in good fun. But 20 minutes into the show, I realized that promoting anti-Semitic stereotypes isn't that fun. It's one of the most objectionable things I've ever seen on television, and there are a lot of objectionable things on television.”

According to the Journal, Princesses: Long Island has an audience of around 1 million viewers and Israel worries that they will get the wrong impression of the average Jewish-American.

Israel said, “The show leads viewers to believe that this is what being Jewish is all about, that if you're Jewish and live on Long Island, you're narcissistic, you are all about money and that a Shabbat dinner is all about drinking and fighting.”

Rabbi Bellows expressed the hope that the show will lose its appeal and eventually be cancelled due to low ratings.
