'Real Housewives of New Jersey,' Bethenny Frankel News: Reality TV Star Welcomes Feud With Martha Stewart
Bethenny Frankel has become such huge enemies with Martha Stewart, she thinks it's only fitting that the two share the "Real Housewives of New York" stage for some must-see TV drama.
"She doesn't like me," E! Online reports the Skinnygirl cocktail brand mogul recently shared on "Late Night With Seth Meyers." She later added, "She never really has. She's been consistent."
Frankel is now convinced that together she and Stewart could be ratings gold for "Real Housewives."
"She could get paid to rip," she added. "That's good for drama."
With "Real Housewives" embarking on its eighth season in as much casting flux as ever before, now might be the ideal time for Stewart to consider coming on board.
Only Frankel, Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley have contracts for next season. The New York Post reports Bravo network officials recently countered an attempt by fellow cast members LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan to garner greater salaries. The three stars sought payment more on par with the $1 million reportedly paid to Frankel, but the network responded by reducing them to "pay for play" status.
"I love how it's like GE buying something-it's the big "Housewives" negotiation," Frankel recently said. "There is a negotiation. I think that we're all replaceable. In the very beginning when I started, we had a little clout because it was such a big deal. But, you know, you can find crazy people."
Frankel is well aware being part of "Real Housewives" can lead to countless other opportunities. She has also written several books and recently sold Skinnygirl for an estimated $100 million.
"If you use it wisely, it's great," she said of the long-running reality show series.
