Bethenny Frankel: "I Have a Number, But They Can't Pay It"
Bethenny Frankel recently shared her thoughts about Bravo’s recent announcement about the RHONY reboot and proposed RHONY: Legacy. She also clarified her Tik Tok video that drew criticism for calling the Bravo (Andy Cohen’s) announcement “fucking boring”.
On the 4/1/22 episode of her Just B podcast, titled “RHONY Bologna”, Bee really went in deep, discussing the series which made her famous. Bethenny begins by telling us that Bravo has indeed routinely reached out to her about returning to the show throughout the years, and confirms that Bravo reached out to her again following the announcement of the “Legacy” show. While she’s flattered, she feels like the proposed Legacy series is confusing, and that it just feels like another “hodgepodge” of what they already have (referring to the Ultimate Girl’s Trip).
However, Frankel is quick to add (twice during the podcast) that “There IS a number, but they can’t pay it”. Then in true Bethenny fashion, she adds that it probably makes better business sense for Bravo to just stick with what they’re doing anyway, because “there are plenty of former housewives who will do it for next to nothing; just for the fame". She then adds that she can name several former housewives who “miss those step&repeat photo ops and free gift bags”. If she had only named names!
Bethenny hints that she could be persuaded, and threw out a few scenarios that might interest her. One would be a show featuring what she calls the original "RHONY 5"; meaning herself, Ramona, Alex, Jill, and Luann. But she quickly adds that even that would have to be a limited “reunion show” kind of thing, because the five of them are not real friends, and the audience knows it. But at least there would be a reason for it, an authenticity so to speak. She then draws a comparison to the way the show has become a nonsensical random bunch of thirsty bitches with glam squads whom they can’t even afford.
The Skinnygirl mogul then tossed around the idea of another concept that might interest her. When asked about who would be her “Mount Rushmore” (of housewives), she lists herself, Teresa Giudice, NeNe Leakes and Lisa Vanderpump, describing them as the “ghosts” of the HW series, and would actually consider a “road trip” kind of thing with them. C’mon Beth, no Vicki?
Frankel then addressed the Tik Tok post where she used a different voice calling the reboot “fucking boring”. She explains that she simply dubbed in what she thought was a random (funny) voice, using the words that she would have used to describe the reboot, never even realizing that it was the actual voice of Real Housewives of Melbourne, Gina Liano. Hmmm, not sure I buy that one, but I guess it’s possible.
