Frankel: Cohen 'Bitter' About Losing RHONY 'OGs'

Bethenny Frankel has responded fiercely to Andy Cohen's remarks about her potential return to The Real Housewives of New York. During a recent Bravo Fan Fest, Cohen dismissively responded to a question about Frankel rejoining the franchise, stating he wasn't "active on TikTok." Frankel, in a TikTok video on October 24, 2026, interpreted this as shade and accused Cohen of being "bitter" about losing the show's original cast members. She argued that the only change for Cohen since her 2020 exit is the show's declining ratings. Frankel highlighted that former OG Housewives are now finding success on other ventures. She suggested Cohen remains tied to Bravo's demands while she and others are "making our own coin."

This is not the first time Frankel and Cohen have publicly clashed. Following her departure from RHONY, Frankel has been critical of the franchise's environment. In 2022, Cohen accused her of "trashing" the show, which Frankel denied, calling it "toxic." Their past disagreements also include Frankel's claims of low pay for her initial season and Cohen's criticism of her TikTok content earlier in 2026. The public exchange has divided fans, with some supporting Frankel's independence and others pointing out Bravo's role in her career.
