As we recently reported on The Things, Ex-'Real Housewife' Bethenny Frankel took a jab at the current season of The Real Housewives Of New York by suggesting the low ratings were due to the lack of inspiring content airing on the show.
Considering the reality show was a launching pad for Frankel, giving her plenty of publicity to find success in her business endeavors,
Bethenny Bashes Bravo
Page Six reports that the folks at Bravo obviously learned about Frankel’s sentiments, and as expected, they were steamed.
From the higher-ups at the network to the cast members filming this season, everyone was taken aback by her comments.
As Page Six reports, a source with close ties to the cast expressed, “We all can’t believe she’s out there bashing the show when the ratings are good."
A member of the production team said that Andy Cohen is “livid.”
A Bone To Pick
While the women did open Episode 1 by sharing their thoughts on Frankel’s absence - some expressing how they’re not particularly sad she’s gone - it’s not a strong reason for Frankel to clap back.
Frankel knows all too well that these reality shows are edited, and it’s all about ratings. Bashing Bravo doesn’t help her rise above it all, if that was her intention for leaving the show.
Clearing The Air
Surely this back and forth bickering won’t end here. Will Cohen speak out himself? He’s not one to shy away from speaking his mind, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Maybe he’ll even invite Frankel to chat on Watch What Happens Live so she can set the record straight.
