RHONY Cast Members Say Producers Favor Bethenny Frankel Over Them
It was a big week in New York City with all the networks giving their upfront presentations, which is when they each announce upcoming seasons and schedule changes.
Apparently, Bethenny Frankel was the only cast member of the Real Housewives of New York City who was invited to the NBC upfront, which is the parent company of Bravo, at Radio City Music Hall.
And the rest of the cast were not happy about it.
“The cast members all want to go to hobnob at the upfronts,” a source told Page Six. “They always feel insulted if the networks don’t want to parade them out in front of the advertisers. Another sore spot is if they hear their castmates are invited and they aren’t. I’ve witnessed that with [various shows.] Those on the West Coast love being flown in and put up at swanky hotels by the networks.”
NBC hosted the upfront for several of its networks, including Bravo, E!, and USA.
Bravo declined to comment.
