Bethenny Frankel Goes Nuclear On Andy Cohen Over ‘Housewives’ OGs

“Real Housewives” alum Bethenny Frankel fired back at franchise executive producer Andy Cohen over the weekend after he appeared to dismiss the prospect of her return to the show.

“Well, Andy Cohen took a swipe at me on a panel, so let’s take the bait,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum said in a TikTok video she posted over the weekend. 

“I think he was asked, ‘Would you ever have Bethenny back on the ‘Housewives?’ And he said, ‘I’m not really that active on TikTok,’” she went on. “Which is abundantly clear, because he’s still sitting in the same place I left him,” Frankel added.

Frankel said the “only thing” that has changed for Cohen is “the ratings.” She also said Cohen is “bitter” over losing former RHONY cast members including Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, and Dorinda Medley, who she said are living the “golden life” on E!. 

“He’s living the stainless steel life on Bravo, where he’s their b****, he waits for them to pay his paycheck, while we are all over here making our own coin, our own way, on our own terms,” Frankel said. “If you’re gonna take a shot at this b, you better not miss.”

Frankel starred on “RHONY” from Season 1 to Season 3 (2008-2010) and Season 7 to Season 11 (2015-2019). She and Cohen have clashed before, including in 2022 when Cohen accused Frankel of “trashing” the popular reality show franchise and said it was “hypocritical” for her to host a podcast about it. 

The entrepreneur has complained about not getting paid fairly for her time on the show, previously saying, “I myself have generated millions and millions of dollars in advertising and online impressions being on reality TV and have never made a single residual. So, either I’m missing something or we’re getting screwed, too.”
