Bethenny Frankel hits back at 'bitter' Andy Cohen after he served snarky 'swipe' about her future at RHONY

1 day ago 25

Bethenny Frankel spared Andy Cohen no pardon during another fiery social media rant over the weekend.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 55, hit back at Cohen, 58, after he made a dismissive and sarcastic quip about her during a panel at Bravo Fan Fest on Saturday.

'Andy Cohen took a swipe at me on a panel, so let's take the bait,' Frankel, who previously shaded her ex Jason Hoppy, responded in a TikTok video shared later that day.

The two have had a publicly contentious relationship for years. It started in late 2022 and just kept on escalating.

Tensions worsened after the Real Housewives host and executive producer was indirectly asked if he would ever bring Frankel back to the show at Bravo Fan Fest and said, 'I'm not really active on TikTok.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Bravo and Cohen for comment but have not heard back.

Cohen's answer may have been interpreted as a subtle dig at Frankel's massive presence on social media, where she regularly posts scathing critiques of Bravo and its executives.

That appeared to be how Frankel read it.

'He said, "I'm not really active on TikTok," which is abundantly clear 'cause he's still sitting in the same place I left him. The only thing that has changed are the ratings,' Frankel continued.

She then contrasted her financial independence with his role at the network.

'So, while he's a little bitter that he lost all his OGs who are living the golden life on E! while he's living the stainless steel life on Bravo where he's their b**h, he waits for them to pay his paycheck.'

The Bethenny Media mogul pointed out that she and the other departed Bravo OGs are 'all over here making our own coin our own way on our own terms.'

Frankel concluded: 'So, if you're going to take a shot at this b, you better not miss. You're welcome.'

The second Bravo Fan Fest took place at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center in Charleston, South Carolina.

Cohen moderated the Andy's Housewives History Lesson Panel that included Porsha Williams, Melissa Gorga, Karen Huger, Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Gay and Carole Radziwill.

Speaking about Frankel, Radziwill said: 'I haven't spoken to her in many, many, many years. I don't know if she'd come back. That's way above my pay grade. That's Andy’s [decision].'

Radziwill looked to Cohen to respond and that's when he dropped the zinger, which drew hollers and laughter from the audience.

In a previous Instagram video, Frankel opened up on her decision not to join some of her fellow Real Housewives of New York City alumni on new E! spinoff series The Golden Life.

'It used to be good when I was promoting my own business,' she said.

'But now that I work with a lot of other brands and have different types of equity deals and partners, they don't look highly upon that genre.

'They kind of like that it's in the rearview.'

Frankel rose to fame on the Bravo show, and even if the spinoff had the money to bring her back, the other cast would 'resent' her for it, or so she thinks.

The entrepreneur previously revealed she is content being on the side lines, saying: 'I like my life now. I like not having to do anything anyone else tells me to do or be anywhere anyone else tells me to be.' Above, Frankel at her Supermodel Cafe launch on August 13

'Despite some of the women asking if I would come back, the amount of money it would take for me to come back — that E! could presumably never pay — would make the other Housewives resent me so much, which did happen before.'

Frankel revealed she is content being on the side lines.

'I like my life now. I like not having to do anything anyone else tells me to do or be anywhere anyone else tells me to be,' she maintained.

'Protecting my peace and this stage of life is very important to me.'
