Bethenny Frankel has made headlines again, this time for opting out of E!’s Real Housewives of New York City spinoff, The Golden Life. Explaining her decision on Instagram, Frankel revealed that her current business interests don’t align with the reality TV landscape as they once did. While her brand benefitted from the original show, her partnerships today don’t appreciate her stepping back into those dramatic waters.
It seems her former co-stars were keen to see her return, but the negotiations around pay turned into a real mess. Frankel shared that requests to earn more than her were stirring resentment within the cast. In a surprising twist, she praised the spinoff as an“amazing move”for E! but felt her current lifestyle was much more fulfilling. Who needs the drama when you can protect your peace, right?
