‘RHONY’ Producers are Pissed at Bethenny Frankel
Apparently, Bravo is not happy with Bethenny Frankel.
According to Page Six, top producers on The Real Housewives of New York are pissed after she took a cheap shot about the show’s ratings.
On Tuesday, Bethenny told Extra: “The ratings overall in television have never been higher and perhaps the ratings on Real Housewives aren’t doing well because it’s sort of not maybe the content that is inspiring people to do what they need to do right now.”
A source close to the cast told Page Six, “We all can’t believe she’s out there bashing the show when the ratings are good and she’s proclaimed to have moved on when she decided to leave the franchise. I know the ladies only wish her more success with her new show than she had with the last one!”
Additionally, a sassy source close to the Real Housewives production team had something to say.
“As much as Bethenny pretends to be a producer, creator, mogul and even philanthropist she will always be a ‘Real Housewife’ and reality star,” they said. “She was a no-one before RHONY — why would someone be so desperate as to bash the franchise that built her brand? Andy [Cohen] is livid!”
Of course, when Bethenny’s rep was contacted for a comment, she had the last laugh.
“She wishes everyone at Bravo well,” she said.
Damn! Well played.
