She is the absolute BEST person to spearhead this!!! She is incredibly smart and has been there and done that!
👍
No
Lol. No
She def is not " spear-heading " any of it
It was well under way. Shes jumping on a moving train
Justine Bateman is the best person who has been leasing the way .
Much more learnered than big B. .. although i do give B credit for her B strong. Did a lot of good work. Albeit it somewhat egomaniacally
She is so fcking fraudulent.
Sheeeesh
She’s a fierce powerhouse!’ Love her 💜
Andy is NOT going to like this 😂
Bethenny is a force to be reckoned with
😂😂😂 that’s what I said.
Bethany is a mouth and an astute followet of trends
Others are the creators and leaders...thinkers
good!
Phuque Andy, enough with him
Absolutely agree. There are so many women who are thrown to the side once their story cools down and they're dragged thru the mud, including by Andy Cohen. And yet he walks away with millions and these women are left to fend for themselves, except now their names are tarnished.
The Bethenny Clause: Frankel had enough business sense to include one tiny clause in her contract. It was explicitly stated in her contract that the television network would have no rights to her future business ventures she may receive as a result of the show.
SO smart of her! And sounds like now they do take a % cut (removed the Bethenny Clause) in other contracts since then?
@@BollywoodMediaOnlinethey take around 10% I believe
The producers make plenty of money off the show and don’t need any kickbacks off the backs of the housewives’ success. It’s pure greed.
Hmmmm, I feel like they’re not getting any of Khandi’s money.
This is why I love her! She’s so smart and she’s got the balls to put these corporate trolls in their place. Go kick some ass Bettheny!
Ugh. She is just following what's already in place
You want to give some credit
Thank Justine Bateman. Thank Susan Sarandon
Gratitude to both Sarandon, Bateman, Fran Drescher, and countless others.
@@theedspage …..agreed!
@@theedspage good to hear you do
@@theedspage Of course credit/ kudos/ support to so many protesters & organizers.
Justine is really getting in there though & has some direct & unique insight . Her IG / pod posts are very informative & astute. ( AI etc)
I was commenting here primarily bc I was sick of seeing comments saying " Bethany you're just the person to spear-head this "
~
Coopting/ usurping (as per usual. ) is not " spear-heading "
If it ends up helping the cause great, But mostly its self-serving on her part imo.
The Rachel interview is atrocious.
It is exactly the right time to start this. Nobody will look after you but yourself.
Real talk!!! 💥
She wants attention. When Nene & Jill’s spouses died neither of them were in the Show. We didn’t see Nenes husband’s funeral. We only saw Jill’s husbands funeral because Bethany used it as a storyline. She went to the funeral with cameras. She didn’t have to do that.
Jill has been on Real Housewives Trip Shows and desperately wants to be back on the Show.
Betheny used the Show to be the millionaire she is and Bravo doesn’t get any of that $$$. They made her RICH.
@@KS-hi8vishe loves everything being about her.
I love that she mentioned Nene leakes, She was one of the first people to speak about this.
Bethenny, you are brilliant and such an important advocate. Thank you.
This is going to change reality TV forever.
I'm a bit confused by what she is saying... that they are not getting paid enough?
Or being taken advantage of by not getting residual checks after initial episodes are paid?
No😂who's messing up their money for her 😂
Let's hope so!
Realty TV will change for the better (for starters, it will be 100% real). I trust Bethenny Frankel 100%.
Bravo is so pissed off at Bethenny forEVER. They didn’t realize who she was. And she knew they had no idea and was able to use her life experience hanging around at race tracks to see what was coming. I was playing chess not checkers. Get it girl. Good for you!
What did she do to Bravo? I am confused what she is advocating for.
Better pay or ensuring they get some of the $ via residual checks? I thought housewives are paid well so just confused.
I haven’t always agreed with everything Bethenny does or says but this is a really important conversation and she’s an intelligent woman and hopefully, this comes to fruition 👍🏽
Love her. Strong powerhouse woman. We need more of these women .
I'm in the Writer's Guild and I totally support workers organizing. However, that sweater is the story here! So cute!😊
After what BF did for Puerto Rico in the last disaster she really won me over! Took the initiative, from fronting her own $, finding ways to get PR relief, and getting other people to help. Bravo Bethenny!❤
I Love Bethenny for so many things! The most genuine. Smartest. Coolest most successful and savvy business woman on the whole entire franchise!! Love her. Watch all her influencer vids on cosmetics/products. Trust her and value her opinion. ❤
Bravo basically had Bethenny crash a funeral and she didn’t even know it or realize that she was being used. I think that was the final straw. I’m glad B is doing this and I hope people follow her lead.
Yes, that was tough to hear/watch. You could see how upset she got. Especially when she said she was nauseous and could throw up. I felt so bad for her (and Jill). It all makes perfect sense now. It’s crazy what goes on behind the scenes that nobody knows about….even the “cast”.
She didn't know that when she gave this interview, that bombshell came just 48hrs later
I have loved and respected Bethany from day one. Her and Kandi burrus have always been my fave
Betheny needs to link with Nick Thompson from love is blind who has already starred talking about this and has created an association. This would be a great combo.
Really enlightening conversation! I hope they end up unionizing and making changes.
Go Bethenny! Such a smart woman. I admire you very much
I love when strong women help out others !
Even though Bethenny can be annoying at times, I think it’s good what she is doing here and I admire her way of expressing things.
It's interesting stuff to know about what goes on behind the scenes of these shows we watch worldwide 🌍
I love Bethany for exposing the truth about this
I LOVE Bethenny-- TRUTH. Bravo is disgusting
Agreed! Did a show on OWN, it was one season, never got paid. Tried to quit, was threatened to be sued.
Absolutely agree, she is one of the smartest & real people on SM!😊
First of all, “Reality” shows are HIGHLY SCRIPTED!!! And highly Produced. Come on Bethenny!!! These “reality” personalities cannot stop filming during this strike because drama “reality” appearances is their only check/source of income. 😂😂😂. Most are not like Bethenny who has prospered and used her time on TV to build a branded multi-million dollar empire. Most are not that talented or smart enough to implement a plan. Andy only cares about his BRAVO ratings. 😂😂😂😂😂
Glad Bethany spoken out about this. I love it you use your platform for good.. ❤🎉👏👏Rosie O from Devon England 🇬🇧😘
She is so well spoken smart just overall damn good at everything she does, she would of killed it as an attorney, but she killed it in her businesses regardless. She is right on wat she is saying residuals they should always receive after giving everything of them n in that world wat God gives God can take away n then wat?! U sacrifice n lose n now ur stuck?! That's why she always had every side covered n was on the defense alot protecting her own brand.
I’ll give Bethenny one thing… she’s got balls the size of Texas. She knows the dark secrets & she can hang with the big boys. I definitely couldn’t do what she’s doing rn if I was in her shoes lol. She’s got guts
Well just cuz your coward doesn’t mean everyone else has to be. If you don’t have the ‘balls’ maybe you should grow some.
She is right. All contracts should be negotiated through the union also each real content or reality tv actor (or whatever ) should be given their own lawyer in these meetings. Also there needs to be LAWS making emotional exploition of reality stars ILLEGAL with prison sentences!
You go girl!!❤
Time to call out Andy!
Powerful words delivered impeccably.
Starting a entirely new union just for reality tv participants won't work. Most reality TV participants do it as a one off. The cost of starting up a new union would be high, which means dues would be significant and there would be no benefit for the average potential member. Established stars have lawyers to negotiate contracts, so what would be the benefit to them? Reality stars should've been under Aftra when you consider their function, and that union combined with SAG for a reason. Union's don't just negotiate pay rates. You need a staffed office, someone in charge like a president and other senior staff, accountants, lawyers, union reps, etc... This sounds "nice" but it's a sound bite. It's a tremendous amount of work and I am positive Bethenny has no actual interest in committing the amount of time and energy for low to no pay this would require.
Bravo Bethenny ! I love reality T V and I never really thought of it this way . I do believe these stars deserve more protection , more rights and more money !
Well done Bethenny!!!!!!!!
B is the best one to get behind it
Great interview all around. Very solid points, I hope to see some traction here.
Wow when she really broke it down I mean she really has a great point
Easy for her to say, she's rich and doesn't need to be on a reality show anymore.
Duh that’s why she wants to help them protect themselves!!!
Bethenny left no crumbs 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
I TOTALLY UDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH BETHENNY FRANKEL ... SHE IS ABSOLUTE RIGHT!!!
Wow! She is right. Bethenny has always been a very smart woman.
Yes Bethenny!!! 👏🏻
Wow!! I’m here for it.
Go bethenny luv her or hate her, she always fights for less fortunate or the underdogs 👏
enlightening - after years of watching bravo
She's so smart and right.
shes spot on - could never believe these housewives sign a contract where they don't get residuals. the shows have been on air for 15 years (!)
Bethenny 💯 👑
Well said 👏 👌 👍
Wow Bethenny 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
AGREED 100%
Can someone explain what she means by them not getting paid enough?
I ask because I saw RHOA salary quotes reporting allegedly like ~$1 million per season for each woman cast on RHOA.
Sure, but in the scheme of things that's peanuts. Think about the ad revenue Bravo gets from one episode alone.
She's right and from the comments most people agree with her. Although how many of you people will stop watching these people get degraded until there is a change in their contracts so they at least benefit from being dragged? It's all well and good applauding Bethenny, but your choosing your side if you're going to continue to watch.
Nene and Gregg weren't on the show when he died, I think she meant when Gregg was going though cancer.
Luv you Bethany 💓
Her shirt is EVERYTHING 😍
I like what she said along the lines that this may not exactly pertain to me but it’s important to get in the righteous fight because what if it was me and because it’s the right thing to do.
Why shouldn’t reality tv talent receive residuals, be paid for their likeness/memes/images, health&dental, for their willingness to be set up as villains, and make profits from other projects without having to split so much with Bravo, NBC, etc.???
some reality stars make $1M per episode... even $10K per episode is great for not having a "real job..." some pple would kill to get on a reality show...
Andy Cohen will be against this lol
Bethenny and Holly Madison need to talk because the “girls next door” got sooooo taken advantage of
Bethany tried to slake the Kardashians in her TicTok to het attention & it didn’t work. The Kardashians created a Show about their family. Real Housewives is about other housewives. The family owns their story. Their Mom also was a manager in the business. The two entities are completely different. She just knows saying the Kardashian name will her her some ATTENTION. Name 1 CURRENT Housewife behind what she’s saying. She can’t. What are the 10 things she’s asking for?
Betheny loves attention.
Love her
She is very kindness love her
The Bravo cast on these shows has to be careful following Bethany down this road. I see nothing but the disgruntled coming forward and she's the only on standing!
Yesssa Bethany 🎉 mention it all!😅
While I agree with Bethenny in theory.. in it will be good to have a new way of doing business going forward. I don't think you can go back and get paid for what you had a contract for (past shows) also not surprised she wants to call it the Bethenny clause.
B is about to get a quick message from Daddy Andy 😂😂😂😂
Hello Bethany
BRAVO MADE YOU
Be humble😮
It's interesting. A psychologist broke down the Vanderpump Rules drama, and basically said in 10 years some of these people will look back and say, why did Bravo allow me to do this to myself. After alot of the cast clearly needed help. I have always loved her.. hell yeah B.
B is a boss!
I’m sure bethenny will get a commission cut for spear heading this idea.
I actually support this idea
This was interesting
What should be in the contract? Give examples.
I'm not a fan of Bethenny, but she is on point with her point of view.
Bethenny said something mmph
I think people shouldn't watch reality shows anyway !
Ok
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
AMEN!
Im proud of bethanny and nene leaks
Ok, first of all she’s not on a filming show with a current contract, so easy for her to say; & without that platform she would not be who she is today. A contract is a contract that they sign happily & you can’t go back and say i want more money now when the whole thing made you a bazillionsire and most all of your online content is related to it. She knows the game, just trying to be relevant with the strike. I don’t agree. It’s more About the outside perks & exposure and she knows this. She’s loving this strike & trying to pivot it to reality stars (herself) because there is an ax to grind somewhere in there w the Housewives, Andy & Bravo, you can just tell. Besides, it just means more new audiences who don’t do cable can be exposed to them & can become fans & subscribe to them etc. my question is the reality performers that are on now and are also a member of SAG like probably Erika, Garcelle, Kyle and Heather Dubrow at least. Is the moral thing to do for them to stop filming if they are indeed union from other projects?
Shut it. You probably capitalize off these shows in some way and would hate to see them stop for your petty self interest. Shut it up
I think comparing reality stars to actors who do training and have a craft is ridiculous
Bethany made it to the Millionaire club and now she feels like she is invincible. Alright then!
no, thats not what shes saying at all....she wants to protect herself and other reality stars...same as actors why should you not get money back if the show keeps airing it makes total sense!
👏👏👏
You Rock Girlfriend
She should get together with Fran Dresser. It will give the actor and writers strike more leverage as well.
She mad because bravo threw her away
I think about the reality show teen moms and how they are so young ignorant and must get treated terribly
Have you watched the Teen Show? Those girls are RICH. They have nice homes and businesses that they would have never had because of the platform that they are on.
i love her.
I love bethenny
Scripted TV is the WORST!
They could easily stop and start a whole new company, it happens all the time. These people sign up to be exploited .
This is going to back fire on her
This is the first time ( in all these years), that I've heard her speak like a (somewhat) sophisticated person.
Why is ET asking this woman for her opinion 🤯
Get their asses Bethenny!!!
She wants attention. When Nene & Jill’s spouses died neither of them were on the Show. We didn’t see Nenes husband’s funeral. We only saw Jill’s husbands funeral because Bethany used it as a storyline. She went to the funeral with cameras. She didn’t have to do that.
Jill has been on Real Housewives Trip Shows and desperately wants to be back on the Show.
Betheny used the Show to be the millionaire she is and Bravo doesn’t get any of that $$$. They made her RICH.
Andy Cohen is also being used by the network !!
