As we previously reported, Bethenny Frankel will be leaving the Real Housewives franchise altogether. Now, her cast mate Ramona Singer claims that it was all news to her — and the rest of the housewives.

“I’m only disappointed that Bethenny did not inform her co-stars that she’s not coming back to the show,” Ramona told People magazine.

“When she left in Season 4, we found out through the press she was doing her spinoff, Bethenny Getting Married. She was upset we never congratulated her, but we were upset she never told us! And that’s how we feel now. There is a camaraderie among us as a cast. Love us, hate us, not like us — we are a team. To hear this from the press and not through her is upsetting,” she added.

In a message posted this week on Instagram, Bethenny thanked fans for their support over the years, and later said she was leaving the show.

“I am so grateful to you for sticking with me through everything,” Bethenny wrote. “You started this journey with me in my tiny apartment in my late 30s, wondering what would happen to me. I was broke, single, had no family and no idea what the future held.”

Do you think she should have told her cast mates?
