Bethenny Frankel has applauded fellow housewife Jessel Taank for calling her “the most overrated Housewife.”
Regarding the 52-year-old, Taank has stated that just to stay in the limelight. The dramatic reaction came shortly after Frankel insisted she was not pursuing a lawsuit against Bravo because of the “toxic environment” but remained committed to advocating for systemic change in the reality television industry.
Bethenny Frankel Slams Jessel Taank Over Recent ‘WWHL’ Jab
Frankel fans are no stranger to seeing her speak confidently about a number of issues, including her occasional drama with other “The Real Housewives of New York” cast members. She recently got involved with Taank after the latter chose her as the most overrated “Housewife” during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
For her rebuttal, the 2005 “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart” runner-up used the power of her “ReWives” podcast, saying:
“If you have someone who’s on ‘Housewives’ of New York right now in the post-success era, they’re going to want to squeeze that sponge for any amount of liquid they can squeeze out of it. And you can’t blame them. You can’t blame talent because they need relevance, fame — that’s why they go on the show.”

He later claimed that his former colleagues had chosen him as the “most redundant” franchise because the question was “planted and manufactured.” As a mother of one explained:
“The way it works on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ is in the dressing room, Andy comes in and talks about what he wants to talk about.”
Continuing his criticism of Taank and the “RHONY” reboot, Frankel suggested that the show’s viewership has dropped significantly, with only “a few hundred thousand” weekly viewers.
“[The show] need a newspaper. A woman on the show who’s not yet relevant — well, the new one, so by definition, you’re not very relevant, and you’re on a show that’s been warped and on the back burner,” the “Bethenny” headline detailed .
He also reiterated his earlier comments that Cohen was asking “problematic questions” that were “designed just to get someone to dump someone else.” The “Bethenny Ever After” alum conclusively stated that she “absolutely” doesn’t “blame the person sitting in the chair,” calling “WWHL” a “clickbait environment.”
On Monday, Frankel took to her Instagram page to explain that while she has vowed to expose the ‘systemic rot’ behind the scenes of Bravo’s hit television series, she has no plans to sue them. “I have not hired a lawyer and I am not suing,” the New York University alumnus wrote in a 3-slide post, instead claiming:
“Reality counts, is true, real, and I will lead by example and grow for myself and for my daughter. This is not only a calculation in the industry but also in myself.”

The lengthy post also saw the Skinny Girl mogul declare that she “didn’t know what she signed up for” when she joined the “Real Housewives” cast in 2008. However, she admitted that she “would do it again” to avoid being “broken and fear.”

Late last month, the entrepreneur shared a video on his Instagram page, using the phrase “I’m a question mark character” to emphasize that he was an unexpected addition to the show.
Recalling how they got into the mix, Frankel revealed that the show’s production company had begun looking for additional actors after initially planning for just four wives per Bravo’s request.
During this time, he met Jill Zarin at the Polo in the Hamptons. He mentioned facing financial challenges and not having a partner at the time. Zarin and her husband, Bobby, eventually recommended her to the show’s producers, who ended up being impressed with her after seeing her on camera.
Despite loving her at first sight, she claimed that “Bravo didn’t want me because they didn’t want someone who had been on reality TV before.” Fortunately, a key person at the production company, Ricochet – which later became Shed – named Jen O’Connor, supported his participation in the long-running project.
In closing, Frankel drew parallels between herself and Jo from the first season of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” pointing out that they were both unmarried and younger than the other cast members when they joined their respective “Real Housewives” series.
