Bethenny Frankel Critiques RHONY Reboot

Bethenny Frankel, former star of The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY), criticized the show's recent reboot in a since-deleted TikTok video, calling it 'unwatchable' and 'a piece of trash.' She expressed outrage over the replacement of original cast members, stating they were 'ride or die' and had been treated like 'stepchildren' by Bravo. Frankel claimed that the network invested significantly more money in the new cast while the original stars were discarded, despite their contributions to the show's success. She mentioned the current viewership is around 200,000, suggesting Bravo should reintroduce the original cast to revive interest. Although she acknowledged the new cast might be 'lovely,' she emphasized that the former stars deserved better treatment and recognition. Following her initial video, Frankel uploaded a second clip, hinting at a desire to discuss her thoughts further.
