Bethenny Frankel Approves of the 'Real Housewives of New York City' Cast's Move to E! Network
In a recent TikTok video, Bethenny Frankel expressed her enthusiasm for the 'Real Housewives of New York City' cast's reunion on E!, a network rival to Bravo. Frankel, known for her bold and unfiltered personality, praised the move, calling it 'fan-f–king-tastic.' She likened the network's approach to a 'savage, barracuda-style' strategy, suggesting that the cast members, including Ramona Singer and Jill Zarin, were 'not expired' and deserved a second chance.
Frankel, who starred on 'RHONY' from 2008 to 2019, hinted at a potential behind-the-scenes role in the revival, stating, 'I’m happy for all of them.' However, her absence from the upcoming project remains a mystery, as she recently relocated from Connecticut to Florida, citing her daughter's emotional plea as the reason for the move.
The 'Skinny Girl' founder's comments come after the original 'RHONY' cast, including Zarin, Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, and Kelly Bensimon, signed a deal with E! for a new show expected to air by the end of 2026. This marks a significant shift from their previous attempt to revamp the show with 'Real Housewives of New York: Legacy,' which stalled due to financial constraints in 2023. Frankel's approval and the cast's reunion on E! have sparked excitement among fans, leaving them curious about the network's plans for the iconic reality TV franchise.
