Tell me where are the lies in her comments???? There are none- Follow her entire path from the beginning till now and you can clearly see that she was always a hustler pushing to make a success of herself. No one is perfect but damn, Bethany is a great example of the rare American dream.
I’m also flabbergasted! It makes no sense on why she’s getting so much hate. This is NOT something that she is benefiting from, so I don’t get it. I guess haters are just gonna hate. But I am PROUD of her. She is smart, she is generous, she is caring and that is an awful thing to be hating on.
I'm not shocked. Many people hate the truth. They want their junk food tv and she may slow down their consumption. Honestly, we could all do with a little less junk in our trunk. Looking at myself!
Bethenny, I saw a post you did on Instagram regarding your interview with Rachel and could not believe the personal vitriol directed towards you and I am sorry people can be very mean. I just want to say that I respect you and I consider you an honest, caring and intelligent woman. You might say and do things that people do not agree with but you are always true to yourself. You are right about this, people make mistakes in their life and that mistake is replayed for the rest of their lives and in many cases ruins their lives and reputation. Just because Bravo gave you a platform does not mean you have to owe them for everything for the rest of your life. They should be called out on their BS and you are the right person to do it.
*I am speechless!. She is so on point and she cares about reality TV rights. I listened (3 episodes) to the interview she did with Rachel. She pointed out so many damn good point during Vanderpump Reunion. I am very happy Rachel is doing such better and I pray she continues to go to therapy. After watching this Video Podcast I need to step back and cut some cords with Bravo. I was Bravos biggest fan, but over the years I have stopped watching 90% of the shows they air. I've always had my reservation of Andy Cohen and after listening to this, I now know why. Thank you Bethenny for being the voice to those we don't hear. Dios te Bendiga hoy, mañana y siempre.*

I can't believe it took so long. It seems like after the things that happened on MTV's The Real World would have spurred this a couple of decades ago. Great job Bethany for looking out for others.
You are doing a great job, Bethenny! You speak truth and is straight forward and honest. I respect that all the way. I listen and started following your Podcast and I loved how you gave Raquel her side and stood up for her.💖

Mention it all Bethany! (Legs up in the air) I love your boldness, wittyness and how straight forward you are. Thank you for being you! IM HERE FOR IT ALL! The podcast, UA-cam, tiktok, TV 🙌
I freaking LOVE LOVE Bethany! She's the sharpest, and transparent woman from reality TV! I actually hope her financial blessings continue so she can continue to be powerful enough to expose these networks! I'll ALWAYS support her !!! And by the way they stole Married to Medicine from Mariah
It’s about time someone with a platform speak out for injustice to others ! We need more people like Bethenny she has the guts and voice to do it !! Great job girl !!
You are a powerhouse Bethenny. You continue to inspire me in various ways. You are that perfect mix of authenticity, beauty, strength and vulnerability. Thank you for just being You. I will continue to support anything you do. You articulate your thoughts perfectly. You have opened the door for those that are vulnerable in this genre of industry that need to be represented. These are people’s lives. Just because they put themselves out to the public does not mean they should be put threw a wood chipper personally. And especially without compensation. I will continue to support anything you do. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Go Bethenny!!! When I lived in Nashville I was grossed out by the hypocrisy. When i stood up for myself and beliefs, I was told," the industry will never change". Yet, here we are. Hollywood and Andy Cohen are finding out it can change if people put the love of doing what's right over making a quick buck. A person should never sale their beliefs and soul for anything. History has proven this time and time again. BE strong!!! Praying for you lady.
Really love that you have the ability to be your own mouthpiece (imagine that). I do love bravo shows but I am glad you’re giving light to the exploitation that occurs behind the scenes. It truly is conflict/conflict vs.conflict/resolution and that is becoming stale 😴
I believe she was lured in by a sick, narcissistic older man that had an agenda. Think about it..... She was cast on a reality show. How exciting that must have been. Most of the cast mates are much older. Producer's could certainly sense her vulnerability!! They used that young lady!!! And Tom, Tom.. a seasoned castmate took total advantage of someone so oblivious to the "machine". He made his paycheck, while ruining a young woman's life. She was clearly under his spell. She lied on several occasions for him. Thank God she has seen the light!! She doesn't belong in that environment!! She is not cut out for it. Those folks are ruthless!!!
This is something that seriously needs to happen. Bethenny sees an issue and she's all in. I respect it. Reality TV has ushered in lack of accountability, respectability, self respect, and honesty. And now we see generations who feel this medium is the actual way to live.
Go! Don't back down. When you said "You will feel dirty or something consuming these shows" you are right. I can't watch them anymore because I see them for what they are.....sad and destructive.
This video made me subscribe, Bethenny. You’re a voice to be reckoned with and I love it. Way to go in trying to represent people whose voices have been shunned.
You were always the most entertaining cast member on RHONY, and you're even better on your own podcasts and UA-cam. Thank you for taking your honesty to the people!
I commented this before in other UA-camrs vids - needs repeating: Bethenny is like a lawyer - She cares about the client as a lawyer would. People are looking at her with a "female trope" lens expecting her to be "nurturing, motherly, selfless, timid, nice manners, etc.." and get upset that she does not fit their cultural expectations. That sh*t is over. Bethenny is rocking it with her confidence, assertiveness, ambition and reforming attitude. I'm loving every minute of it. Keep up the great work, Bethenny! NO APOLOGIES!!!
You are doing the right thing Bethenny! Refreshing to have a voice of woman in the Public Forum that is NOT controlled by money, an editor, a donor, a spouse, etc... You have immense courage, compassion, skills, and grit. You are helping people immensely! Thank God for you Bethenny! Thank you for what you are doing and for your voice! Keep up the good work!
Oh Man!!!!!!! I feel like Bethenny is (and always has been) ahead of the curve. She is super-intelligent, funny as hell, & witty. When she had her daytime talk-show, I feel like it failed because she was CONSTRAINED within the realm of daytime television- where her TRUE Voice & perspective was a bit diminished (within the confines of another network)…. But, now with the FREEDOM of having her own Podcast & UA-cam series she has a platform to just be her AUTHENTIC self again- which is what America 1st fell in love with her for! ❤🙌🙌🙌 How empowering to be able to re-write the Rules of your OWN life & Narrative! Not many people get that chance or are smart enough to do it- she is! And how INSPIRING to be able to use that Platform to do something POSITIVE & bring some GOODNESS to the World! Bravo needs to take some notes from HER about Business, about Authenticity, about being REAL. She’s out here shifting the paradigm & changing the game yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You go girl! It's time for a reckoning. Reality participants sign up and agree to a lot of things, but never to have their lives destroyed. That's an unfortunate consequence no one anticipates or expects will ever happen to them...until it does. I've actually stopped watching reality shows because they've gotten so mean, nasty, and ugly over the years; I don't want that toxicity in my life. At least unionization or representation could help to control the unfortunate outcomes somewhat and establish fair compensation. Keep up the good work, B!
I really like you Bethenny, You've always ran amazing charities and been out to help other people who are less fortunate. They are lucky to have you in their corner with your strong voice and no BS attitude. I hope you and all reality stars get what you are owed
This is the most amazing thing you’re doing because you could just sit back and enjoy your wealth, but instead you’re choosing to stick your neck out to help those who didn’t get wealthy, and whose lives have been ruined. This is true wealth, being a person who has the power to do good and uses it to help others ❤
Andy made the biggest mistake of his life on that last wwhl episode, messing with Bethany. She sucked it up but has now turned 360 and dumped it all back on him. Take that!. I hope she keeps the stamina to see it all through. Well done❤
Bethenny, Thank you for explaining everything! I didn’t know you ladies didn’t get paid for reruns. It looks like Bravo is hurting in ratings and will continue because of all the crap they have done. If they didn’t know Skinny Girl was just a platform for you because you were smart to use it. Keep speaking out Girl! They got rid of a lot of ladies that made the shows and I don’t think they care if they hurt peoples careers. Keep Preaching!! You Got a voice and your not afraid to use it!! Thank you! ❤
You’re doing incredible things Bethany you are inspiring me so much - it may be worth putting in your clause that Welfare facilitators should be on each project/production to safeguard the welfare of the talent throughout all stages of production This is the thing that is being ruled out in the UK - happy to discuss this with you further if you see this message❤️
Proud of you! 🎉 Of course there will be social media naysayers who support Bravo or profit from reviewing their shows. Thank you for giving a platform to all reality stars.
You are right bad behavior is rewarded in reality TV and people who watch it behaviors are starting to mirror realty TV . They set no good example for anyone .
I remember when the news regarding Mariah Huq and her dispute with Bravo over Married to Medicine--I wonder if those who thought Nene Leakes was lying about Bravo are now reconsidering their position.
I don't know. It's like a carpenter gets paid to build a house. The carpenter doesn't get paid again when the house is resold. I think in these cases with actors, many sign contracts that give control of their work to the studios. You get what you agreed to.
Also.. You go, girl! It seems like your intention is really good. And if you are honest and are coming from a good place, you can only accomplish good. You will learn so much about yourself. This feels like a really big opportunity to make some real, positive change.
@@bethennyfrankel Sorry for the late response but I took a little time to really think about it. ☺️ I would love to see you do a podcast with your daughter Brynn. Talking about how to have a healthy relationship with your children. Having that closeness, but also how to put structure and discipline in place. You seem to have a healthy balance. Also, I don’t know if you are interested in going in this direction, but I would love to see you interview spiritual, mental health advocates. Like Marianne Williamson or Brene Brown. I feel like the no nonsense, straight forward approach you have would work so well helping us all with our mental health. 💕 On the other side.. I’m sure you’ve heard this many times before. And I don’t know if you would even want to, but I’d like to see you interview Andy Cohen. I think the 2 of you in a podcast setting would be incredibly entertaining. I think he might be too scared of you to say yes though. Haha. But it would be nice to hear you tell him that to bury his head in the sand and say it’s all about fun is bologna. Lots of love to you Bethenny! 😊💕
Thank you for clarifying this! There are so many other channels speculating on why you do what you do. I applaud you for your realness and intelligence. Keep up the great work! You’re my fav. ❤
Bethenny, you should connect with Mariah Huq. Mariah is the cast member from Married To Medicine who pitched the show and is the executive producer to this day. Bravo slowly and strategically removed her out of the show she created. I think it would be powerful for you to interview her!
The thing with people is the issue is so big they feel fatigued before even starting to fix it, it’s huge. Never mind the process of funding actions. Bethenny is an anomaly because she is relentless, and she does not lose energy. She fights for what she feels is right and she seems to live off the air it provides. There is no greater advocate.
The public is with you. You're doing and saying the right things, BF. I appreciate the care and concern you have for the people on these shows. There are loads of people who have podcasts who make $$ on gossiping vs. your take which is a thinking, adult take on how these shows work and the real and practical impacts to the lives of people involved. BRAVO BF ;).
Bethenny cares for people that are in that reality industry. She’s been in it and who better than her to make it better for all the people who sign those contracts. I’m glad she mentioned Vanderpump Rules and what happened to Caroline Manzo. Of course the people in those shows didn’t know that bad things were going to happen to them. Oh, but they signed the contracts so they should of known better? I don’t buy that shxt for a second and neither does Bethenny. Thank goodness for her. She has a good heart and it shows. I love her for it. PS she is also a fantastic mom. 👍💕😊
She didnt care much when she was calling them sluts, shaming careers, saying how horrible they were, now its Saint Bethenny rebrand. Skinnysaint? gurl bye!
Bethenny, I understand what you're saying. Let's be honest, we tune into the "reality" shows for drama. Without drama and scandal, I don't think there'd be many viewers. Anyone signing up for a reality show should expect their lives to be on full display. JMO
Love your style Bethany. Everyone doesn’t need to fit into a perfect box. Events have gone on for years that people have hidden from the light. Be the light!
Betteny you are doing an AMAZING POSITIVE job using your platform by telling the truth on how innocent people get exploded by other people's bad poor actions and behaviors. Keep up the good work, YOU are changing lifes in such an inspirational way..YOU, inspire me to always stand strong and be proud to use my VOICE, to make a difference...😇🙏
There are union employees and non-union employees just like there are network television shows and cable television shows, Broadway shows and off-Broadway shows. Network television shows have large budgets and make lots of money through advertisements. Network shows have the ability to track residuals which cost alot of money to calculate using bookkeepers and accountants. Cable television shows do not have the money to do that and that is why actors on cable television shows make much less money than major network television actors. In a perfect world actors on reality shows would be paid millions of dollars. But the reality is that reality television shows and cable television shows make less profits and operate on a smaller budget. If reality television actors are unionized we would not be able to enjoy cable television shows. No production would be able to afford their unionized benefits and fees.
I have loved you since day one on NY. Like a lot things going on in the world right now, people are awakening. It’s not the 1960s where we are force fed to believe in BS. We now have several sources to educate ourselves and we can choose what makes sense to us. I used to run home to watch HW and VPR. I could care less these last few years. People have said “it’s scripted reality” which I now understand it’s not a literal “script”. It’s a push to this direction. A push to that direction. A “leak” or whatever tactics the producers use. The more negative, the better the ratings. You are and always have been spot on!
Love you Bethany I’ve been in same situation in a lower scale, I was a outcast and he went on being cuddled by OUR friends and I was the devil. Thank you Rachel and Bethany for showing the other side when your only wanting to be accepted by the one person you think you love
My hope is that all the reality shows are finished. It started out with The OC. They would have a few issues with each other but nothing big deal. It was entertaining. You watched them raising children, working jobs, going on trips and having parties. Then here came Tamra, which changed the dynamic. Fights started happening. Still no big deal. It was like all of a sudden being nasty to each other increased ratings and everyone of these shows were just doing the same thing, which in my opinion got so dark and so ugly, that I gave up , and every once in a while I will catch an episode, it’s not entertaining anymore. Right now, there is a housewife that was friends with a housewife brought on the show, and now her life is being smeared by the very friend she had in real life. It’s just sad, that women treat each other this way. Get dirt on somebody and expose it to the world for money. This is truly bad behavior. So if it’s production creating this, know this, most viewers are sick of it. Her reputation will take years to repair, so thank her pay her and move on. If next season doesn’t top this, then where do we think the show will stand? I am thinking cancelled
I so so agree with you. I've watch Bravo from the start but this past year after watch what I called fun shows. Happy shows Summer House,Southern Charm,Winter House,VPR. After last season watching VPR I caught myself be anxious and angry after the show. Because life is hard. I watch TV for relaxation not to be in fight or flight mode. It just got so so bad over time. You correct they slowly gotten bad.
Hats off, much respect for putting your neck and name on the line against a behemoth like Bravo/Peacock/NBC. Ignore the hateful bots that will unleash on you, they are just noise. What you are doing will actually make a difference! The modern day David and Goliath. We’re cheering you on! ❤
Bethenny please never change. Always be the “fair” lady that you are! ALWAYS be the BAD ASS that raised was at a racetrack. Not everyone has what you have and what I mean is that you’re smart and well spoken but most importantly you’ve got “street smarts” and “moxie!” And because you have been so successful you can take on these greedy corporate moguls. And don’t be scared because you’ve got this! Sending you love, strength and good vibes from Chicago…..❤️
I remember your journey through the reality show . It got ugly and sometimes uncomfortable. You have proven to be strong and honest. Keep up the good work . I canceled the cable show . I’m here and many are too . Must sign up for the podcast. ❤ keep at it lady ! You got this ❤
Lady the potential topics are endless! I am waiting for that Epstein list to drop! On a serious note, thank you for the great content and Happy New Year!
The "biting the hand......" comment kills me. Even if reality people have no"talent" they are still on tv on repeat with their image being exploited, still have rights, still deserve humane and fair treatment by law just as any workers do. I was a union rep when I was a teacher and was appalled at what administrators tried to get away with. Good job Bethany!
Listen I know the industry is fooked but seriously...this is not "abuse" in general to me. These people didn't have a gun to their head saying they had to continue to come back. You get what you sign up for - why is it all of a sudden a thing to be a victim of everything?
I totally agree. I have watched reality and watch the change its lost its innocence. It makes me feel yucky watching some reality series. Not my cup of tea but look how they and treat mama june even at the worse time in her life all they wanted was content for the show.
I find bravo has become very toxic, they don’t air physical fights yet they encourage fights they encourage reality stars to have incredible conflict and I believe NENE was the very first star they encouraged to be as destructive and abusive as she was due to the fact that they encouraged such behavior for ratings .. after NENE you have so many of them just being so toxic.. Bravo literally used NENE and spit her out, they create and nurture this monster and once the monster is literally demanding higher pay and also this monster is stepping all over the rest of the cast then due to audience backlash they literally dropped her .. mean while public opinion has and is probably ruining NENEs live and and her money making abilities.. and this is just one incident ! Bethenny is absolutely right !
Bethenny - I love your perspective on all of this and will be following along. One piece of feedback - it would be better if you were looking into the camera. It feels very unnatural like you're looking into space or out a window or something. It feels strange to watch you looking away. Thanks!
The woke ones love, appreciate and respect you Bethany. Keep using your platform and your voice. We need more warriors like you to fight for the truth and restore balance. Sending you love and protection on this crazy journey 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I gradually stopped watching all the Housewives shows for the exact reasons you state, I found the shows left me feeling dirty and not in a good way, lol, it's like the saying, "Once you see something, you can't unsee it" and I started "seeing" the shows!
I just love this woman. She’s a philanthropist and an activist for the rights of the little guy ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Go Bethenny, you got this 👏🏾
Go Bethenny! You rock and your honesty is refreshing! Thank you!!

Wow. I'm glad she's using her voice to actually raise the voice of the most vulnerable in her industry. And the "Bethany clause" is wild and foul.
One thing about Bethenny is always used her voice. Even when she wasn’t big
Thanks for watching!
I don't get why Bethenny is getting hate. She is literal the reality peoples voice. She's just the one who is saying what everyone else is thinking.
I’m guessing the hate is from phoney bots!
Because she didn’t do this until she had hers.
I’m also flabbergasted! It makes no sense on why she’s getting so much hate. This is NOT something that she is benefiting from, so I don’t get it. I guess haters are just gonna hate. But I am PROUD of her. She is smart, she is generous, she is caring and that is an awful thing to be hating on.

Andy and his housewives are scared your platform will outshine them. They are also worried of the shady shit being exposed.
Too late, Bethenny's platforms already do outshine Bravo's.
Theyre not being exploited. Its grown adults making choices. They want the fame & the platform. With that you acquire fame & then you can make money off that. Like YOU did. Who cares where the shows pop up years later? what extra effort do you make? All art lives on & continues to make money somewhere. The fact these shows keep airing keeps your relevance alive.

I freaking LOVE LOVE Bethany! She's the sharpest, and transparent woman from reality TV! I actually hope her financial blessings continue so she can continue to be powerful enough to expose these networks! I'll ALWAYS support her !!! And by the way they stole Married to Medicine from Mariah
Awww, love that ❤
Bethenny You are a warrior for positive changes. Anyone that says differently hasn't read the room.
❤❤❤
Good for her! Way to go! Finally, someone from the reality world is standing up for the greater good! 🙌
❤
It’s about time someone with a platform speak out for injustice to others ! We need more people like Bethenny she has the guts and voice to do it !! Great job girl !!
What do you want to see next?
You are a powerhouse Bethenny. You continue to inspire me in various ways. You are that perfect mix of authenticity, beauty, strength and vulnerability. Thank you for just being You. I will continue to support anything you do. You articulate your thoughts perfectly. You have opened the door for those that are vulnerable in this genre of industry that need to be represented. These are people’s lives. Just because they put themselves out to the public does not mean they should be put threw a wood chipper personally. And especially without compensation. I will continue to support anything you do. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Go Bethenny!!! When I lived in Nashville I was grossed out by the hypocrisy. When i stood up for myself and beliefs, I was told," the industry will never change". Yet, here we are. Hollywood and Andy Cohen are finding out it can change if people put the love of doing what's right over making a quick buck. A person should never sale their beliefs and soul for anything. History has proven this time and time again. BE strong!!! Praying for you lady.
Prince tried . He was seen as eccentric. No , he was right .Everyone should have slave on their cheek .
Love that you watched!
Really love that you have the ability to be your own mouthpiece (imagine that). I do love bravo shows but I am glad you’re giving light to the exploitation that occurs behind the scenes. It truly is conflict/conflict vs.conflict/resolution and that is becoming stale 😴
Thank you, Bethenny! Let Rachel know there are a lot of the silent majority who are backing her!
Hopefully your non single friends don’t see this…side eye
@@jenifersantinoleI’m a married woman over 4 years and I support Rachel. Yes she made a mistake but she did not deserve these abuse from these people.
I believe she was lured in by a sick, narcissistic older man that had an agenda. Think about it..... She was cast on a reality show. How exciting that must have been. Most of the cast mates are much older. Producer's could certainly sense her vulnerability!! They used that young lady!!! And Tom, Tom.. a seasoned castmate took total advantage of someone so oblivious to the "machine". He made his paycheck, while ruining a young woman's life. She was clearly under his spell. She lied on several occasions for him. Thank God she has seen the light!! She doesn't belong in that environment!! She is not cut out for it. Those folks are ruthless!!!
Rachel was wrong, but no one deserves to be abused on national TV by that pack of losers.
❤❤
This is something that seriously needs to happen. Bethenny sees an issue and she's all in. I respect it. Reality TV has ushered in lack of accountability, respectability, self respect, and honesty. And now we see generations who feel this medium is the actual way to live.
Bettheny…. Thank you. THIS IS GOD’S WORK, this is you’re life’s work. My dad was an equine vet in the thoroughbred industry and knew your dad.
Go! Don't back down. When you said "You will feel dirty or something consuming these shows" you are right. I can't watch them anymore because I see them for what they are.....sad and destructive.
Thanks for watching! What do you want to see next?
This video made me subscribe, Bethenny. You’re a voice to be reckoned with and I love it. Way to go in trying to represent people whose voices have been shunned.
Awww, thank you!
I just adore you! A pillar of strength and integrity!
You were always the most entertaining cast member on RHONY, and you're even better on your own podcasts and UA-cam. Thank you for taking your honesty to the people!
Thanks for watching!
I commented this before in other UA-camrs vids - needs repeating:
Bethenny is like a lawyer - She cares about the client as a lawyer would. People are looking at her with a "female trope" lens expecting her to be "nurturing, motherly, selfless, timid, nice manners, etc.." and get upset that she does not fit their cultural expectations. That sh*t is over. Bethenny is rocking it with her confidence, assertiveness, ambition and reforming attitude. I'm loving every minute of it. Keep up the great work, Bethenny! NO APOLOGIES!!!
"Nobody has anything that I want" ... that is powerful. What a dream!
Good afternoon Bethenny you are the Best 💕💕💕
You are doing the right thing Bethenny! Refreshing to have a voice of woman in the Public Forum that is NOT controlled by money, an editor, a donor, a spouse, etc... You have immense courage, compassion, skills, and grit. You are helping people immensely! Thank God for you Bethenny! Thank you for what you are doing and for your voice! Keep up the good work!
Oh Man!!!!!!! I feel like Bethenny is (and always has been) ahead of the curve. She is super-intelligent, funny as hell, & witty. When she had her daytime talk-show, I feel like it failed because she was CONSTRAINED within the realm of daytime television- where her TRUE Voice & perspective was a bit diminished (within the confines of another network)…. But, now with the FREEDOM of having her own Podcast & UA-cam series she has a platform to just be her AUTHENTIC self again- which is what America 1st fell in love with her for! ❤🙌🙌🙌 How empowering to be able to re-write the Rules of your OWN life & Narrative! Not many people get that chance or are smart enough to do it- she is! And how INSPIRING to be able to use that Platform to do something POSITIVE & bring some GOODNESS to the World! Bravo needs to take some notes from HER about Business, about Authenticity, about being REAL. She’s out here shifting the paradigm & changing the game yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You go girl! It's time for a reckoning. Reality participants sign up and agree to a lot of things, but never to have their lives destroyed. That's an unfortunate consequence no one anticipates or expects will ever happen to them...until it does. I've actually stopped watching reality shows because they've gotten so mean, nasty, and ugly over the years; I don't want that toxicity in my life. At least unionization or representation could help to control the unfortunate outcomes somewhat and establish fair compensation. Keep up the good work, B!
Thanks for watching!
I really like you Bethenny, You've always ran amazing charities and been out to help other people who are less fortunate. They are lucky to have you in their corner with your strong voice and no BS attitude. I hope you and all reality stars get what you are owed
Awww, thanks xoxo
This is the most amazing thing you’re doing because you could just sit back and enjoy your wealth, but instead you’re choosing to stick your neck out to help those who didn’t get wealthy, and whose lives have been ruined. This is true wealth, being a person who has the power to do good and uses it to help others ❤

Andy made the biggest mistake of his life on that last wwhl episode, messing with Bethany. She sucked it up but has now turned 360 and dumped it all back on him. Take that!. I hope she keeps the stamina to see it all through. Well done❤
@@VJ-tc6py I am expected that Andy would adjust after having children, and on the surface, I am surprised he hasn't.
@@theedspageyea hes still slimy huh? 😮
Bethenny, Thank you for explaining everything! I didn’t know you ladies didn’t get paid for reruns. It looks like Bravo is hurting in ratings and will continue because of all the crap they have done. If they didn’t know Skinny Girl was just a platform for you because you were smart to use it. Keep speaking out Girl!
They got rid of a lot of ladies that made the shows and I don’t think they care if they hurt peoples careers. Keep Preaching!! You Got a voice and your not afraid to use it!! Thank you! ❤

@@bethennyfrankel love you just being real with us. Kid issues, girls dinner, my favorite is things going on around your house. So funny but so real!
You’re doing incredible things Bethany you are inspiring me so much - it may be worth putting in your clause that Welfare facilitators should be on each project/production to safeguard the welfare of the talent throughout all stages of production
This is the thing that is being ruled out in the UK - happy to discuss this with you further if you see this message❤️
Thanks for following along ❤
Proud of you! 🎉 Of course there will be social media naysayers who support Bravo or profit from reviewing their shows. Thank you for giving a platform to all reality stars.

You are right bad behavior is rewarded in reality TV and people who watch it behaviors are starting to mirror realty TV . They set no good example for anyone .
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Bethenny! You are a true champion for change and more people need to appreciate and recognize the importance of your cause.
Bethenny you are very intelligent which is very threatening to the entertainment industry 😊!!!!!!
Absolutely!!!!
I remember when the news regarding Mariah Huq and her dispute with Bravo over Married to Medicine--I wonder if those who thought Nene Leakes was lying about Bravo are now reconsidering their position.
I don't know. It's like a carpenter gets paid to build a house. The carpenter doesn't get paid again when the house is resold.
I think in these cases with actors, many sign contracts that give control of their work to the studios. You get what you agreed to.
Fully behind you B 👍🏼❤
Thanks for watching!
Bethany thank you for helping Maui.
Thank you Bethany for using your voice for the good of others!!
Love that you watched!
The edited "allegedly" is iconic LOL cover yo ass gurl 🤣
Also.. You go, girl! It seems like your intention is really good. And if you are honest and are coming from a good place, you can only accomplish good. You will learn so much about yourself. This feels like a really big opportunity to make some real, positive change.
What do you want to see next?
@@bethennyfrankel Sorry for the late response but I took a little time to really think about it. ☺️
I would love to see you do a podcast with your daughter Brynn. Talking about how to have a healthy relationship with your children. Having that closeness, but also how to put structure and discipline in place. You seem to have a healthy balance. Also, I don’t know if you are interested in going in this direction, but I would love to see you interview spiritual, mental health advocates. Like Marianne Williamson or Brene Brown. I feel like the no nonsense, straight forward approach you have would work so well helping us all with our mental health. 💕
On the other side.. I’m sure you’ve heard this many times before. And I don’t know if you would even want to, but I’d like to see you interview Andy Cohen. I think the 2 of you in a podcast setting would be incredibly entertaining. I think he might be too scared of you to say yes though. Haha. But it would be nice to hear you tell him that to bury his head in the sand and say it’s all about fun is bologna.
Lots of love to you Bethenny! 😊💕
Thank you for clarifying this! There are so many other channels speculating on why you do what you do. I applaud you for your realness and intelligence. Keep up the great work! You’re my fav. ❤
Love that you watched ❤
Thank u for standing up for the underdog bethanie !!!!!!!!!!!! And using your power and money to back the weak !!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Bethenny, you should connect with Mariah Huq. Mariah is the cast member from Married To Medicine who pitched the show and is the executive producer to this day. Bravo slowly and strategically removed her out of the show she created. I think it would be powerful for you to interview her!
The thing with people is the issue is so big they feel fatigued before even starting to fix it, it’s huge. Never mind the process of funding actions. Bethenny is an anomaly because she is relentless, and she does not lose energy. She fights for what she feels is right and she seems to live off the air it provides. There is no greater advocate.
The public is with you. You're doing and saying the right things, BF. I appreciate the care and concern you have for the people on these shows. There are loads of people who have podcasts who make $$ on gossiping vs. your take which is a thinking, adult take on how these shows work and the real and practical impacts to the lives of people involved. BRAVO BF ;).
Bethenny cares for people that are in that reality industry. She’s been in it and who better than her to make it better for all the people who sign those contracts. I’m glad she mentioned Vanderpump Rules and what happened to Caroline Manzo. Of course the people in those shows didn’t know that bad things were going to happen to them. Oh, but they signed the contracts so they should of known better? I don’t buy that shxt for a second and neither does Bethenny. Thank goodness for her. She has a good heart and it shows. I love her for it. PS she is also a fantastic mom. 👍💕😊
She didnt care much when she was calling them sluts, shaming careers, saying how horrible they were, now its Saint Bethenny rebrand. Skinnysaint? gurl bye!
Thanks for following along! What do you want to see next?
Go Bethany!! Thanks for the update and the truth!
What do you want to see next?
Bethenny, I understand what you're saying. Let's be honest, we tune into the "reality" shows for drama. Without drama and scandal, I don't think there'd be many viewers. Anyone signing up for a reality show should expect their lives to be on full display. JMO
Love your style Bethany. Everyone doesn’t need to fit into a perfect box. Events have gone on for years that people have hidden from the light.
Be the light!
❤
So much respect for what Bethany is doing! Great job explaining herself and what the truth is concerning her involvement in the reality TV situation.
Bryn must be so proud of her mom!❤️ I wish them both, all the best.
Bethenny is cashing in on Raquel more than Bravo ever could LOL
Exactly!
Do these so-called bloggers have any evidence? No, they are blowing hot air, rather be part of the machine.
Betteny you are doing an AMAZING POSITIVE job using your platform by telling the truth on how innocent people get exploded by other people's bad poor actions and behaviors. Keep up the good work, YOU are changing lifes in such an inspirational way..YOU, inspire me to always stand strong and be proud to use my VOICE, to make a difference...😇🙏
Awww, thanks xoxo
There are union employees and non-union employees just like there are network television shows and cable television shows, Broadway shows and off-Broadway shows. Network television shows have large budgets and make lots of money through advertisements. Network shows have the ability to track residuals which cost alot of money to calculate using bookkeepers and accountants. Cable television shows do not have the money to do that and that is why actors on cable television shows make much less money than major network television actors. In a perfect world actors on reality shows would be paid millions of dollars. But the reality is that reality television shows and cable television shows make less profits and operate on a smaller budget. If reality television actors are unionized we would not be able to enjoy cable television shows. No production would be able to afford their unionized benefits and fees.
I have loved you since day one on NY. Like a lot things going on in the world right now, people are awakening. It’s not the 1960s where we are force fed to believe in BS. We now have several sources to educate ourselves and we can choose what makes sense to us. I used to run home to watch HW and VPR. I could care less these last few years. People have said “it’s scripted reality” which I now understand it’s not a literal “script”. It’s a push to this direction. A push to that direction. A “leak” or whatever tactics the producers use. The more negative, the better the ratings.
You are and always have been spot on!
Thanks for watching!
I love Bethenny!! She is real and says what everyone else is afraid to say. Fearless. ❤
Love you Bethany I’ve been in same situation in a lower scale, I was a outcast and he went on being cuddled by OUR friends and I was the devil. Thank you Rachel and Bethany for showing the other side when your only wanting to be accepted by the one person you think you love
Thanks for watching xoxo
My hope is that all the reality shows are finished. It started out with The OC. They would have a few issues with each other but nothing big deal. It was entertaining. You watched them raising children, working jobs, going on trips and having parties. Then here came Tamra, which changed the dynamic. Fights started happening. Still no big deal. It was like all of a sudden being nasty to each other increased ratings and everyone of these shows were just doing the same thing, which in my opinion got so dark and so ugly, that I gave up , and every once in a while I will catch an episode, it’s not entertaining anymore. Right now, there is a housewife that was friends with a housewife brought on the show, and now her life is being smeared by the very friend she had in real life. It’s just sad, that women treat each other this way. Get dirt on somebody and expose it to the world for money. This is truly bad behavior. So if it’s production creating this, know this, most viewers are sick of it. Her reputation will take years to repair, so thank her pay her and move on. If next season doesn’t top this, then where do we think the show will stand? I am thinking cancelled
I so so agree with you. I've watch Bravo from the start but this past year after watch what I called fun shows. Happy shows Summer House,Southern Charm,Winter House,VPR. After last season watching VPR I caught myself be anxious and angry after the show. Because life is hard. I watch TV for relaxation not to be in fight or flight mode. It just got so so bad over time. You correct they slowly gotten bad.
Here’s the other problem, production sets a lot of this up. It’s not even the real deal. Might as well watch a soap opera with better actors.
I find Bethenny to be so incredibly driven, intelligent and inspirational. Amazing woman!
Awww, thank you!
Hats off, much respect for putting your neck and name on the line against a behemoth like Bravo/Peacock/NBC.
Ignore the hateful bots that will unleash on you, they are just noise. What you are doing will actually make a difference!
The modern day David and Goliath. We’re cheering you on! ❤
What is she risking?
Thanks for watching xoxo
I love it when Bethany says "mention it all" from the beginning of her segment ! 🎧🎤😎
Bethenny is a very intelligent entrepreneur working to fix the new world order of Reality TV and social media. I agree with her 10000%
Awww, YAY!
Bethenny please never change. Always be the “fair” lady that you are! ALWAYS be the BAD ASS that raised was at a racetrack. Not everyone has what you have and what I mean is that you’re smart and well spoken but most importantly you’ve got “street smarts” and “moxie!” And because you have been so successful you can take on these greedy corporate moguls. And don’t be scared because you’ve got this! Sending you love, strength and good vibes from Chicago…..❤️
Awww, thank you ❤
I remember your journey through the reality show . It got ugly and sometimes uncomfortable. You have proven to be strong and honest. Keep up the good work . I canceled the cable show . I’m here and many are too . Must sign up for the podcast. ❤ keep at it lady ! You got this ❤
Thanks for following along!
Amen! Good for you Bethenny!
Thank you Bethany! It is,awesome that you come forward and tell the truth and helped so many people.
Gosh I love you! I watched you in that grocery store selling the cookies while the other ladies laughed at you. You are my IDOL!
❤❤❤
I am so happy we finally have someone making authentic content! Way to go Bethany you are a boss!
What do you want to see next?
Lady the potential topics are endless! I am waiting for that Epstein list to drop! On a serious note, thank you for the great content and Happy New Year!
The Power To Just Be. Thank You, Bethenny ❤. Power House for the Real REAL World.
I am obsessed with Beth, she's speaking facts. I respect that a lot and love all the content.
Awww, YAY!
The "biting the hand......" comment kills me. Even if reality people have no"talent" they are still on tv on repeat with their image being exploited, still have rights, still deserve humane and fair treatment by law just as any workers do. I was a union rep when I was a teacher and was appalled at what administrators tried to get away with. Good job Bethany!
yes these already majority rich housewives need to be treated. No talents ! period!
Love that you watched!
Listen I know the industry is fooked but seriously...this is not "abuse" in general to me. These people didn't have a gun to their head saying they had to continue to come back. You get what you sign up for - why is it all of a sudden a thing to be a victim of everything?
I totally agree. I have watched reality and watch the change its lost its innocence. It makes me feel yucky watching some reality series. Not my cup of tea but look how they and treat mama june even at the worse time in her life all they wanted was content for the show.
Bethany for President!!! And I am here for it! We love you Bethany.
Thanks for watching!
Way to Bethenny! The negative Nelly’s in the Reality Business don’t understand how this could help them!
I find bravo has become very toxic, they don’t air physical fights yet they encourage fights they encourage reality stars to have incredible conflict and I believe NENE was the very first star they encouraged to be as destructive and abusive as she was due to the fact that they encouraged such behavior for ratings .. after NENE you have so many of them just being so toxic.. Bravo literally used NENE and spit her out, they create and nurture this monster and once the monster is literally demanding higher pay and also this monster is stepping all over the rest of the cast then due to audience backlash they literally dropped her .. mean while public opinion has and is probably ruining NENEs live and and her money making abilities.. and this is just one incident ! Bethenny is absolutely right !
Wahoo! You Go Bethenny you are making a difference and I would be so proud of you being my mum 🫶🏼🌟🙏🏼 it takes courage to speak out 🤍
❤❤❤
Mention it all! They should know better than to lie and come for Bethenny because she will tell it all! Period!
when do we get to watch the Rachel interview??
Bethenny - I love your perspective on all of this and will be following along. One piece of feedback - it would be better if you were looking into the camera. It feels very unnatural like you're looking into space or out a window or something. It feels strange to watch you looking away. Thanks!
The woke ones love, appreciate and respect you Bethany. Keep using your platform and your voice. We need more warriors like you to fight for the truth and restore balance. Sending you love and protection on this crazy journey 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awww, thank you!
I gradually stopped watching all the Housewives shows for the exact reasons you state, I found the shows left me feeling dirty and not in a good way, lol, it's like the saying, "Once you see something, you can't unsee it" and I started "seeing" the shows!
Thanks for watching!
Bethany will be on the right side of history!!
