Bethenny Frankel has finally revealed why she refused to join the Real Housewives of New York City series restart, The golden life.
The 55-year-old TV personality explained to her Instagram followers on Tuesday that participating in the new parody series “wouldn’t be good for business.”
“It used to be good when I promoted my own business,” she said in an Instagram clip.
“But now that I work with a lot of other brands and have different types of equity deals and partners, they don’t place as much value on that genre,” Bethenny added. “They like that it’s in the rearview mirror.”
The Bravo star also predicted that other cast members would eventually resent her.
“Despite some women asking if I would come back, the amount of money it would cost to come back – which E! could probably never afford – would make the other housewives resent me so much, which has happened before,” she said.
“I am very happy for these women and I want them to flourish [and] succeed and I want the show to do well,” Bethenny added.
The TV star shared the reason why he didn’t join the spin-off series, saying: “I love my life now. I like not having to do anything anyone else tells me to do or be somewhere anyone else tells me to be.”
“Protecting my peace and this stage of life is very important to me,” she added.
