Bethenny Frankel Hints Leaving ‘RHONY’ After Leaked Documents Show Her Playing Shady With Sonja Morgan
Bethenny Frankel just had a major victory with her divorce being finalized, but it seems she is still dealing with some drama. Since returning to the Real Housewives of New York, things have been complicated. Frankel has teamed up this season with Carole Radziwill, and the two have been dubbed the “mean girls” after having several negative things to say about their co-stars. She is incredibly honest, which isn’t always a welcomed trait. This season has shown a lot of confrontation between Frankel and the other ladies, but her beef with Sonja Morgan is what everyone is still talking about.
It appears that Bethenny Frankel is considering pulling back from the Real Housewives of New York next season. She is rumored to have tried to trademark the name Sonja Morgan’s alcohol is being sold under in order to block the company from launching. According to All About the Tea, Bethenny Frankel may be sued by Sonja Morgan over the allegations. Social media has been buzzing about high-profile attorney Gloria Allred possibly being hired to sue Frankel. It looks like the bad blood runs deep between the women, even after everything was recently settled on an episode of the reality show.
Andy Cohen is tight with Bethenny Frankel, and he will not let her quit without a fight. The drama between the ladies is something the network loves because it provides ratings. If Frankel decides to walk away from another season of the show, the high-intensity snark she provides will have to be replaced. The reunion of the Real Housewives of New York was taped recently, and it is rumored that Frankel lost it while filming. She has been dealing with a lot, but couldn’t quite keep it together with all of the ladies and the conversations that were had. Frankel has made the last two seasons more entertaining by being present, but there isn’t much more that can be filmed with her. Since she has taken to Carole Radziwill more, her fan base has steadily declined. The “mean girl” dynamic isn’t working on the show, especially with how they approach it.
It is unclear where Bethenny Frankel and Sonja Morgan stand right now. It was assumed they had moved past their issues and moved forward, but it appears there is still some bad blood. Frankel’s company has been highly successful and she felt betrayed by Morgan. Clearly the name was trying to mimic the already successful brand in order to gain a following, but that could only happen if the business endeavor was legit. Morgan has been working on several things for as long as fans can remember, none of which have been successful or put through onto shelves. Frankel’s company would outrank Morgan’s if only for the fact that it has been on the market longer and actually has a consumer base built up.
The next step in the alcohol saga between Bethenny Frankel and Sonja Morgan is unclear. Fans hope the ladies can work it out without things coming to legal action. The fact that Gloria Allred was even contacted makes it appear to be a serious issue. It will be interesting to see if Frankel or Morgan return to the Real Housewives of New York for another season amid all the drama. This could be the end of a friendship but more importantly, the end of a business relationship with the show. Frankel is not going to back down and she will protect her brand with everything she has. Morgan thinks this is the solution to her money problems. Both Bethenny Frankel and Sonja Morgan are in for a wild ride if they take this all the way to court.
