Bethenny Frankel is one of the most iconic Real Housewives, but how did she land a coveted spot on the show? In a recent post to social media, she got candid about her journey to becoming a Bravo Housewife, and it’s an inspiring and entertaining story.
Bethenny Frankel Spills the Tea About How She Landed the Bravo Gig
In a clip shared to his Instagram page, the 52-year-old used the phrase “I’m a question mark character” to convey that he was an unexpected addition to the show. According to him, the situation arose when the show’s production company was looking for a fifth wife to join the cast despite originally planning for only four people.
The mother of one revealed that after “Bravo insisted there had to be five,” they “had to go hunting, which Jill Zarin did when I met her at Polo in the Hamptons, not a store, a sport.”
Frankel mentioned that he had financial problems and did not have a partner. However, Jill Zarin and her husband, Bobby, recommended her to the show’s producers, who eventually “loved” her after seeing her on camera.
The reality TV star also said, “Bravo doesn’t want me because they don’t want someone who’s been on reality TV before.” But a key person at the production company, Ricochet (which later became Shed), named Jen O’Connor, insisted that she be included.
In conclusion, she compares herself to Jo from “The Real Housewives of Orange County” season one, who she says is unmarried and younger than the others, just like she was on “The Real Housewives of New York.”
The post, captioned, “Housewife story time… I’m in debt & no clear path. #surirumah #jillzarin #bravo,” received praise from fans like this person who stated: “Destiny! People don’t realize how long and unpredictable this road is.”
Another devotee expressed their love for the former bravo housewife, stating, “I only watch it for you. Right out of the gate, you touched my heart and made me laugh. On the other hand, some are tired of him always talking about Bravo, like this user who advised, “Can you enjoy your money and MoveOn?”
At the same time, a fourth called her out for being shady to the person who seemingly helped her get a chance in the spotlight, stating, “And you still treat Jill like that after knowing she’s the reason you’re on the show. . SMH.”
This isn’t the first time the “Skating with the Stars” runner-up has spoken about her time with the popular network. Fans will recall that last year, she spoke extensively about her reasons for leaving after season 11 of “The Real Housewives of New York.”
In a TikTok video, the “Beat Bobby Flay” season 10 guest judge explained his departure, “If I stay, it’s probably because of money. I’m leaving because I want to leave. I’m ready to leave and use the point of technical agreement as my excuse.”
He also stated that personal loss influenced the decision, but he still fulfilled his professional obligations despite not wanting to continue. Frank explained that at the time, he saw a contract change for Housewives stars that stated they “wouldn’t get paid” if they missed an episode.

However, he insists this rule does not apply to him because “The production company said that they ‘will not air an episode without you.’ They told me that directly, I have a receipt.” “The Big Shot with Bethenny” star revealed that she used the above as an excuse to leave and described the experience as “a little ‘business is personal’.”

Since she left the hit series, Frankel’s relationship with “Watch What Happens Live!” the host has been rocky at best. That didn’t stop her from sharing a shocking revelation about her proposal to marry her second husband, Jason Hoppy, during an episode of the “Just B” podcast with Jill Zarin.
Describing the decision as “the worst idea in history,” she stated, “Andy told me to marry Jason, so here we go. Worst idea in history.”
In another podcast episode in 2021, the author of “Skinnydipping: A Novel” considers her challenging divorce from Hoppy a “nightmare”, revealing her initial reluctance to sign a prenuptial agreement because she firmly believed “Nobody’s taking anything from me .”
In hindsight, Frankel revealed, “I’ve spent millions of dollars, millions of tears. I had a horrible hall of fame, nightmare divorce. After an eight-year process, ending her marriage of only two years, the “ReWives” podcaster realized that she spent 20% of her life dealing with divorce.
Reflecting on their relationship, the “Wish Me Luck” star explained, “I ended up marrying someone who’s just a normal person, who looks like they can handle everything that’s going on with me, and being on reality television.”
