Bethenny Frankel revealed she’s canceling her ReWives podcast, says she “never really loved it,” and called the world of reality TV the “worst version of a toxic dumpster fire.”
Recently, Bravo has been plagued with sexual harassment lawsuits and allegations of mistreatment. Bethenny, who starred on Real Housewives of New York for many seasons, seems to be leading the pack against the network – calling it ‘Reality Reckoning.’
“As of late, there has been so much dirt and garbage and crap, like a dark cloud over this space, this medium, this vehicle in entertainment,” she said in the podcast episode, titled “It’s Me… I’m the Problem, It’s Me.”
“It just feels dirty,” she added. “It always felt somewhat dirty.”
“It got dirtier, then it got toxic and now it’s the worst version of a toxic dumpster fire and I don’t want to be associated with it in any way and I don’t want to talk about it and I don’t even really want to have people on who are currently on it unless we’re talking about their kids or their motherhood or something else,” said the star.
Though she believed her podcast was a “good piece of business” as she started it last November, her thoughts changed as Bravolebrities began appearing on it.
“I liked the guests and talking about something different — not just interviewing them about themselves, but talking to them about these plotlines,” said Bethenny. “But as it went along, I started to see things differently than I used to see them … Like, I’m an older, wiser … I’m a mother. I’m at a different point in my life. I’m in my 50s. I value integrity and health over making it.”
