Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel isn’t afraid to speak out. Bethenny appeared on RHONY for Seasons 1 through 3, and then snatched back her apple for Season 7. She left the franchise for good after Season 11.
Meanwhile, Bethenny has made some other big changes in her life since she left RHONY behind. She moved to Florida with her daughter, Bryn Hoppy. For Bethenny, it was all about a fresh approach and a change of scenery. She felt stagnant in her social life and was looking to reconnect with her childhood friends in the Sunshine State.
Bethenny Frankel had a great contract on The Real Housewives of New York City
Recently, Bethenny has been vocal about pop culture happenings as well as reviewing products. She slammed Lauren Sanchez’s elaborate wedding invitation to Jeff Bezos. She also chimed in to give Meghan Markle some important business advice. My, Bethenny is a giver.
In addition, Bethenny opened up about her RHONY contract. “When I was going back to Housewives, I asked for anything I wanted. They asked me what I wanted,” Bethenny told US Weekly. “I asked for it. I got it.”
She continued, “My contract was anything I wanted – to the days I wanted to shoot, the hours I wanted to shoot, the way I wanted to shoot, the money I wanted to get. I had a very cushy contract,” Bethenny added.
For Bethenny, money wasn’t the biggest issue. “The most important things were, if I had my daughter on those days, if it was my custody days, if it was my custody time for a vacation, I would be able to leave,” she explained. So, what would it take to lure B. back to TV? “Definitely seven figures for a couple of months,” Bethenny said. And it turns out, Bethenny was offered that amount (allegedly), but turned down the gig.
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
