Some of us are old enough to remember when Bethenny Frankel committed herself to the “reality reckoning.” She distanced herself from The Real Housewives of New York and made it her life’s mission to take down Bravo.
The reckoning quickly lost steam, and she now spends most of her time on social media sampling different variations of chicken salad and rambling about conspiracy theories. The reality reckoning is a thing of the past, and allegedly, she’s been angling to make her way back to Bravo. The bigwigs, however, aren’t even remotely interested.
Bethenny Frankel is reportedly banned from ever returning to Bravo
Although Bethenny previously denounced all things Bravo, an insider close to the network spoke to Radar Online. They said that she’s been pitching things to the network that have completely fallen on deaf ears.
“Bethenny keeps calling and emailing,” the insider said. “But it’s never going to happen.”
Of course, some former Bravo stars have trashed the network and returned. Carole Radziwill had a personal feud with Andy Cohen, but will return to the network for the upcoming RHONY Season 16. Similarly, NeNe Leakes accused him of racism and filed a lawsuit against the network. She’ll be back on our screens for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.
Bethenny, on the other hand? She’s supposedly nowhere close to making things right with Andy and Bravo. The door is closed.
“Andy won’t even say her name anymore,” the source noted. “She’s just ‘margarita lady’ to him.”
Five years later, Bethenny is apparently really hoping to get back on reality TV. Sources close to her denied it, but let’s be real. Does she really want to be a full-time TikToker? Probably not.
“Bethenny is passionate and wants to work again,” another source added. “She really does love the business and just wants another shot, but the bridge has been burned beyond repair.”
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock.
TELL US – DO YOU BELIEVE THE RUMOR THAT BETHENNY WANTS TO GET BACK ON BRAVO? DO YOU THINK IT COULD EVER HAPPEN, OR DID SHE BURN THE BRIDGE TOO FAR?
