  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ค. 2023
  • Bethenny Frankel was paid $7,250 for Season 1 of RHONY. "The contract said $7,250 which I did not dispute. I was a nobody.
    The only thing I did cross out was the thing that said Bravo would take a percentage of anything I make. I was a nobody...but somewhere down deep inside of me, I understood conceptually that was wrong. I was going places, and nobody was going to own any part of it," she continued.

I’m not a fan of The Real Housewives series, so I never watch them. I follow you because you seem very honest, your reviews seem real, and I enjoy your F-Y attitude to anything that wasn’t good value for money.
    I know nothing about this other side of you, it plays no part in my life - I thank you for your reviews and the smiles you give me now and then xx

    So you're telling me anybody who does the reality thing on Bravo has to give a cut ANYTHING they make for the rest of their lives? Even if it has nothing at all to do with Bravo? How can they write a legal contract so open-ended and arbitrary? FOREVER ??? How is that not indentured servitude?

    My understanding was that the contract was a set amount & as she steadily climbed up to the green higher each fiscal year, she began to bigger events & product launches get bigger and more extravagant & this is a main reason why bravo was so upset about the situation & it was more about losses while basically airing a commercial for her brands & businesses, but now bravo has a specific number they expect minimum from a bravo star having an event but I can't remember what the exterior details were that was such a big deal

    As a business woman but with no kids or family at the time, how did you get chosen to be a “housewife”?

I never thought of you as a ‘housewife’ though and figured I was missing the point. I thought ‘housewife’ was a prerequisite???
