Since joining the show in episode one, Bethenny Frankel has treated the “Real Housewives of New York” as somewhat of a revolving door. Per People, the reality star quit the show after Season 3, made a glamorous return for Season 7, then insisted she was totally over it by the end of Season 11. Surprise! She’s not. Although Frankel’s latest return to the Housewives world isn’t what we expected, it wasn’t what Andy Cohen expected either.
Page Six reports that Frankel is back with a bang. Despite some very public and vocal criticism of the reality franchise, Frankel’s launching a new podcast called “ReWives.” Despite being a tad confused by Frankel’s “Housewives” 180, Cohen knows better than to look a free-publicity gift horse in the mouth. “I was a little surprised,” Cohen admitted about his reaction to the news of the show. “But again, I was like, ‘Oh, this is good, good for you.’ The more ‘Housewives’ podcasts, the better.” Let’s hope it fares better than Frankel’s last one. “[Ten-minute rants] with no focus or direction with five minutes being Iheartradio ads. Why bother,” one listener opined about “Just B.”

Meanwhile, Frankel’s former costars aren’t exactly rooting for her success. Luann de Lesseps dragged the entrepreneur during an appearance on “Everything Iconic,” claiming “it’s pretty sad and pathetic” (via E! News). “She has to resort to ‘Housewives’ because of all her failed pivots since the ‘Housewives.’ It’s a pretty desperate scenario.”
