I thought she sold the St Tropez house. It was overrun by wild boars and in disrepair according to the stories. Who knows, she may have bought a smaller house?

I think she does stay with friends most of the time when she travels now.

Ditto that I thought she sold that place for less than it was worth, due to the wild boars. Maybe she's renting for the summer.

Bethenny complains about tears?

Agree, way too many tears and too much squabbling this year.

There are reports that Bethenny is dating Eric Stonestreet - Cam from Modern Family (who yes is straight! lol). I think it's just a big joke cooked up between the two of them for publicity. I think she may have even denied it. I just can't see Bethenny as a "chubby chaser." (No offense meant but I can really see her using this phrase.)

From Radar. Do you believe it? I believe Bethenny is back. It's easy money for her. Like shooting fish in a barrel. I can't believe they would let Dorinda go because she seems like a diamond in the rough. I think the source is Sonja, and she is hoping that Dorinda was boring. Like Kristen said, Sonja is "Deloooosional!"

Drama pays! Bethenny Frankel’s much-heralded return to The Real Housewives of New York was an unqualified success, as far as Bravo executives are concerned. But ratings are still lagging, so RadarOnline.com has learned that while she’s coming back for next season, lackluster newbie Dorinda Medley is getting booted to make room for fresh blood.

Although the show is still airing, the cast completed filming for the reunion last week, and casting for next season has begun behind the scenes.

“Bethenny has already been asked to come back, and she accepted,” an insider told Radar. “It was in her contract that if Bravo made the offer, that she would accept.”

“The fact is, Bethenny loves being on television,” the source explained. “Producers are hoping next season Bethenny will let her guard down even more and fight with the other ladies.”

But Medley won’t be one of them, since the insider said she’s getting the axe. “Viewers just didn’t respond to her at all,” the source said. “Dorinda didn’t bring anything to the show. She was just boring!”

Kristin Taekman will also get the axe, Radar has learned, for similar reasons.

Meanwhile, Skinnygirl mogul Frankel earned a whopping is expected to get a bump in pay for another season, according to the source. Though she banked $1 million for this past season, “Bethenny will probably want close to $2 million, while Bravo would offer no more than $1.5 million,” the insider said. “RHONY just isn’t as popular as the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Bethenny just doesn’t have the clout she once did.”

Shooting is expected to begin in the fall, and producers are now on the hunt for “two new sexy ladies that will add to the dynamic of the current group. They need to shake things up,” the source stated.


I think for the most part, Bethenny was a really good addition to the group when the focus wasn't on her and her misery. The 2nd half of the season was much better for her. She was good at calling out Ramona. She thought she'd be able to handle Sonja and Sonja basically blew her off. She and Heather went toe to toe and Heather held her own. They came to a meeting of the minds to just co-exist and not have a huge feud. I didn't like the way she treated Kristen because that was low hanging fruit. She had a lot of funny one-liners.

Ratings are sagging, but the star of the show is being rehired. OK, Andy. Makes sense to me.

I think the show is dead.

Bethenny needs it for a SG platform.

Bethenny tweeted a picture of her and Andy in the Hamptons this weekend so we know she's not going anywhere.

If they get rid of Dorinda, they're nuts.

So, no one on the show is allowed to say a word about Bethenny, but she can say whatever she wants?

At last the editors let Kristen get in one good comment.

I don't want to lose Dorinda, even though her boyfriend makes me want to gag. Except for Kristen, I think this is the best cast they've had since the early days of the show. I don't really even mind Kristen that much.

There were a lot of tears, but I think this was a very stressful time for Bethenny and for Ramona, and the tears all felt quite genuine to me. I also loved Dorinda and Carole's talks, sharing quite real feelings about their dead husbands, and all that means, and I think they are right. It's kind of like cancer, it's one thing to talk about it with someone else who has it, quite another to talk with the cancer-free about it.

I loved Ramona a few times, oh hell, all the time. She, much like Bethenny, is just MADE for this kind of show. Ramona can stir the shit like no one else, but when she was talking about renewing her vows and crying, and about her loss and not knowing what to do...I felt it was real, and sad.

I still think Sonja is tragic and a bit nuts in a Little Edie way, but watching her pull it together and quip with them that last night, and at the jeans thing made me remember why I like her. She CAN monitor her drinking when needed, and she probably needs to do that more often. She was partying with Ramona and Lulu, but she didn't bring home her own guy, and I'm sure she could have found one if she wanted to.

I'm wondering if behind the scenes Dorinda is more of a problem than we know, or if she had a breakdown while watching herself this season, or something like that. She IS a good addition, but maybe behind the scenes she's a problem, or she had a problem watching herself, and freaked out?

I enjoyed the bond/bickering between the original cast members very much, love or hate each other, they seem to stick together in a non-exclusive of the newbies way.

I really enjoy watching Carole, she's quieter, but not a pushover. Heather was getting on my last nerve, but she also fits in a show like this. Bethenny was made for this, and in spite of her personal life being difficult right now, she still rocks this show. It's funny watching Heather and Bethenny, in some ways they are SO alike, but Heather is even more controlling than Bethenny would dream of being, so it works. I did like Heather finally admitting (was it with Ramona?) that all is not perfect in her marriage.

I want to see this same group, and though I like Dorinda, she really can't drink, and is less fun to watch drunk than the others. Kristen? Meh, she really doesn't bring anything, she seems nice enough, but no great loss if she's gone.

I think we know who the source was for all of those negative stories about Bethenny pre-season though. That fight wasn't just about one interview Kristen gave. At all.

ETA
Oh and what WAS the deal with those guys? Kristen went out and talked to the house manager to get the gossip. She said HE told her something like they were bad news, and he tried to get rid of them, and blah blah made it sound like they were island guys he knew well and didn't want there. THEN we hear they JUST ARRIVED from Scotland. Which is it? Do they fly over for vacations frequently enough that island people know them or what?

This says Heather is quitting. We'll get a ton of these stories off season.

If true, smartest decision Heather could have made.

I agree. Heather is smart to get out.

Giving a quote to a magazine is very different than planting a story in radaronline. Frankly, I think Andy and Bethenny planted the RH stories prior to the season to drum up interest. Apparently, it failed.
