Bethenny Frankel Likely Not Returning to Housewives, Jill Zarin Not Leaving

Is Bethenny Frankel really leaving the Real Housewives of New York City?  According to Bethenny, she is leaning towards a yes answer.

In a new interview, Bethenny gives the following quote, “I do have the choice,” she says of choosing to do her own spinoff – Bethenny’s Getting Married? and the Housewives series. “And I don’t believe I’ll be doing any more ‘Housewives,’  she added.

As for why she’s leaning towards leaving the shit show, Bethenny reveals the dramatic reunion played a big role.  “It was a real tense experience,” she explains. “It just felt heavy and you’re about to shoot something and you just don’t [want to]. [My life] feels lighter. Actually, it feels a lot lighter.”

While Bethenny makes it clear her decision to leave the Housewives’ series is not yet official, she also explains why shooting her own show is more fun.

“On ‘Housewives,’ you always have to do some charity event or some big dramatic moment,” she says. “The best parts of my show are when we’re talking about nonsense. Or something so stupid. Like there are a couple things that happened on my honeymoon that are ridiculous. It’s really about the minutiae, so there’s always going to be nonsense in my life.”

In other NYC news, Jill Zarin is also denying a media report that quoted her as leaving the Real Housewives of NYC.  It all started when Jill appeared on the Cooper Lawrence Radio Show last week and gave the following quote:  “There are compelling reasons for me not to come back and there are compelling reasons for me to come back — I feel I was totally misrepresented. And the risk is that if I come back, it could happen again.”

Some media outlets interpreted the quote as Jill wanting to quit the show, Popeater is however reporting that Jill has no plans on quitting, and that Bravo has yet to decide who will be returning for the all new season of the NYC Housewives.
