Bethenny Frankel Accused Of Snubbing Andy Cohen

Bethenny Frankel gained national notoriety due to her emergence as a reality show star, but the former Real Housewives of New YorkCity cast member has now been accused of snubbing the man who helped make her success possible, Andy Cohen.

The gossip mill churned widely after the Skinnygirl mogul allegedly declined to appear on Watch What Happens Live and reportedly nixed the idea of having Andy as a guest on her talk show.

A Radar Online source had this to say about the alleged falling out between Frankel and Cohen:

“Bethenny has basically completely snubbed Andy. He has asked her to do his show multiple times over the past year and she has refused because she wants to distance herself from the Housewives franchise. Andy is very hurt by Bethenny’s actions because he made her a star by badgering Bravo to give her a spin-off, which was enormously popular. Once Bethenny formally signed the deal for her own talk show with Telepictures, she kicked Andy to the curb, never to look back. Andy thought Bethenny would always be loyal to him, but he realizes he got used by her.”

Frankel’s talk show had a test run over the summer months by six Fox Stations. The new series was so popular a deal was inked to give the talk show a national run in 2013, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The Radar Online source also contends that the Bravo frontman heavily promoted Skinnygirl products on Watch What Happens Live during the launching of new brand. The supposed insider believes that while Frankel is extremely talented, the fame might not last and Cohen will not be around to catch her if she falls.
