Bethenny Frankel, a prominent figure on “The Real Housewives of New York City,” had a close relationship with producer Andy Cohen over the years. However, since her departure from the show, there has been some tension between them, marked by public exchanges and criticism, although attempts at reconciliation have also surfaced.
Initially, Frankel appeared to have issues with the show, criticizing its quality and describing it as “toxic.” This led to friction between her and Cohen, with both publicly expressing their opinions about the situation. Despite claims of being pals, Frankel’s criticisms and public comments about Cohen suggested that their friendship might not have been as strong as perceived.
Their relationship appeared strained when Frankel felt ambushed by Cohen on his show, “Watch What Happens Live.” She subsequently expressed her dissatisfaction on TikTok, highlighting her efforts to unionize reality television and expressing discomfort and feeling exploited during her time on “RHONY.”
In various podcasts and public statements, Frankel continued to voice her discontent with Cohen, suggesting that their friendship was superficial, mainly revolving around the show and not extending beyond that. She criticized Cohen for what she perceived as problematic questions on his show and expressed disillusionment with their relationship.
Despite the ongoing tensions and criticisms, Frankel seemed to hint at a desire for reconciliation during the holidays, mentioning fond memories shared with Cohen and indicating a willingness to move forward.
Their relationship has seen ups and downs, with Frankel openly criticizing Cohen’s actions or comments related to the show and public events. However, her recent expressions of a desire to reconcile could signal a potential turning point in their relationship.
