        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bethenny Frankel isn&#8217;t ready to hold an apple again, despite fans hoping she&#8217;ll return to the franchise that made her famous.</p><p>The former &#8220;Real Housewives of New York&#8221; star, 49, <strong>told Fortune in a recent interview</strong> that while she is &#8220;humbled by the threads and comments&#8221; that beg for her return, she has no desire to return to Bravo.</p><p>&#8220;I honestly am stunned,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I haven’t been watching. I saw the first episode and part of another one, so I don’t know what’s going on there. There’s a lot of talk about what’s going on there, and I read comments that people say to me, &#8216;Please come back,&#8217; and &#8216;Please save the show.&#8217; It’s all flattering, and I wish the girls well. I’m doing other things though, and I just don’t know how that really would fit into my life as is.&#8221;</p><p>The B-Strong founder left &#8220;RHONY&#8221; in August 2019 to focus on her philanthropy and her family after <strong>a contract dispute reportedly did not go her way</strong>. She was a fulltime cast member from the show&#8217;s inception in 2008 until its fourth season (2011). She returned to the show in Season 7 (2015) and left again at the end of Season 11.</p><p>&#8220;Everyone thinks I left because of money. I wasn’t leaving because of money, I was staying because of money,&#8221; <strong>she said in February of this year</strong>. &#8220;It no longer became this platform to promote my business, because I had done that, and there was more promoting sort of new and questionable businesses than the legitimate ones at this point, if that makes any sense.&#8221;</p><p>Still, it seems there were some hard feelings for quite some time, as a source told Page Six in April 2020 that <strong>she &#8220;threw a fit&#8221;</strong> after a producer said at BravoCon that the show did not need her to succeed and blocked the producer from her phone.</p><p>As for her future, Bravo brass Andy Cohen has tried to persuade her to start her own podcast.</p><p>She said, &#8220;He gets credit, I always like to give credit — was the one who was like, &#8216;Oh, my God, you need to do a podcast. It’s what you’re meant to do, born to do. I’m good, but you’re better.&#8217; I don’t agree with that, but I don’t listen to him on the radio, so I wouldn’t even know. And I don’t mean that as a negative thing; I just don’t listen to a ton of radio or podcasts. So he urged me.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;To everyone that I really respect, I said, &#8216;I’m going to say a lot of crazy stuff that I feel,&#8217;&#8221; she added. &#8220;And they said it didn&#8217;t matter. This is all after I had signed on — in the beginning I didn’t ask anyone’s opinion. When I decided to do a podcast, I just decided to do a podcast. And I said, &#8216;Holy s&#8211;t, what are my finances, what is my 401(k), because I know that this could be the end.&#8217; And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I’m well aware that I’m gonna say several things that are going to be very problematic for people. But I can’t do it if I’m not gonna do it. And I’m not saying that for the sake of shock value or anything. It’s just my natural opinions are going to come through.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
