Bethenny Frankelsays she andAndy Cohenare still carrying on “trashing” Bravo’sHousewivesshows.
“I texted him when [my newReWivespodcast] came out,” Frankel toldTodayco-hostsHoda KotbandJenna Bush Hageron Tuesday, “and he said, ‘Oh fun,I’m glad to see you embracing theHousewives.'”
The formerReal Housewives of New YorkCitystar, who left the franchise in 2019, explained, “I’ve said I’m glad that I’m not there — which I am, but they’re not mutually exclusive. I’m glad that I’m not there [but] I also do get the right to talk about because I did it for a quarter of my life.”

As forRHONY, the Skinnygirl founder called it “a different show than what it was in the beginning. It’s evolved into something different, more big, more shiny, more dramatic than what we started with.”
Frankel seems intent on stepping back from the drama withReWives, which she told PEOPLEwon’t be a granular rehashof the feuds and trials from herRHONYyears.
Frankel also acknowledged, “You can’t forget where you came from, so I always reference it. I mean, it led to such tremendous success for me. This is where it started for me. I don’t want to be there in the same way that I was. But it’s such a larger-than-life concept that you can’t help but indulge in it.”
