'The Real Housewives of New York City' Season 7: Bethenny Frankel joins Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan
Bravo TV's The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 will have back on the show. An original member who was a cast regular from Season 1 to Season 3, Bethenny left the franchise after her televised cat-fight with then fellow housewives Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon, who have since then both also exited from the show. The 43-year-old Bethenny, aside from being a TV personality, is an author of five books and an entrepreneur famous for her Skinnygirl brand.
While filming in the Berkshires for the season's upcoming episodes, Bethenny updated fans on what it's been like for her to return behind the cameras for the series. She tweeted Monday: "I am LOVING filming this season. Very fun!!!" Bethenny joins Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan who will also be seen back in the show's seventh season.
The Real Housewives of New York City ladies have been filmed while traveling the tri-state area the last couple months. Back in November, they headed to Atlantic City to celebrate Ramona Singer's birthday, said Bravo. Ramona confirmed that she'll soon have a new restaurant business, in addition her wine brand and her Tru Renewal skin care line.
She shared how appearing on Real Housewives Of New York has helped shape her business empire. She told Bravo: "I would have to say that the single-most important factor would be the audience. The show has loyal viewers who over the years have become loyal fans, and in turn, loyal customers. Clearly, the conversion of fans/viewers to potential clients and customers is the biggest asset being on the show has provided over the years in terms of retention of customers. I'm not saying that without the show I wouldn't have been able to successfully launch my wines with Opici or my skin care line, but by having a presence on the show, I have reached a much larger demographic."
Meanwhile, former Real Housewives of New York City star Aviva Drescher who famously threw her prosthetic leg at her cast mates will be seen next on the upcoming season of We TV's Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars. She and her husband Reid will be joining other celebrity couples who, in an attempt to save their relationships, agree to live together in a mansion and endure a series of exercises and drills from two relationship experts.
