Bethany Carkhuff

Bethany Carkhuff, daughter of attorney Waldo Carkhuff, is a New York City socialite, model and philanthropist. After being offered a role on the fourth season of the Simple Life, Carkhuff subsequently received a significant amount of media attention and harassment though anonymous college gossip sites. Carkhuff ultimately turned the role down to continue her academic studies at Columbia University and hired a publicist to keep her name out of any Simple Life or gossip related media. After graduating from Columbia in 2008, Carkhuff made uncredited guest appearances in several television series and continues to maintain a conservative presence in New York society. In the spring/summer of 2012, Carkhuff began a partnership with sister Cherilyn in the creation of a holding company with several subsidiaries in development.
