After tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny Frankel made a stop at the clubhouse to chat with Andy Cohen about her Berkshires meltdown, Jules Waintstein’s divorce, her medical issues and more.
Andy starts off asking if Bethenny noticed that Luann de Lesseps has her name misspelled in her phone? “Well, I don’t have to, I have Twitter for that. I didn’t notice but so many people did. It’s so funny the things people pick up on.” Was she surprised by that after all these years of being friends? “No. Maybe she had it like that originally, I don’t know. I don’t really think about things like that.”
Bethenny shares that Ramona was the best person to help her when she was sick. “Every single day she texted me, called me, for probably six weeks. Brought me hummus because it had iron in it, brought me flowers.”

When she said she “blacked out” while ranting at Luann in the Berkshires, did Bethenny really not know what she was saying? “Often I don’t remember the things that I’ve said. When I watch the show, I don’t remember saying something. And yeah, I didn’t remember exactly because, to be honest, I think I only said whore when I went upstairs. I recanted that I said slut and whore, so I could’ve taken off slut.”
Anything she regrets saying? “Maybe those words. I don’t have regret on this show because it’s what was happening in that moment and it’s this group of women all together and it’s a long time coming.”
When she was talking smack about Luann to Ramona, did she not realize Luann was two feet away? “I don’t know if I cared.”
What did she think about Luann texting her an apology from downstairs? “It was amazing. It was like When A Stranger Calls. She’s in the house, the text is coming from inside the house.”
Did the ladies apologize to Dorinda’s housekeeper? Pretty much no. Bethenny also says she doesn’t regret sneaking off. “This is what happens in real life with these women.”
Andy played a clip from next week of Bethenny breaking down over not having those “family contacts” to call in case of emergency. Bethenny says she’s embarrassed watching the clip. She says it’s common but it was serious and she was scared, she just didn’t have that much familiarity with surgery and things like that. She says she just had the surgery on May 20th and she has recovered well.
Does Bethenny regret or feel bad for not giving Sonja a chance to say she’s sorry and for icing her out this season? “There’s a lot you don’t see on the show that happens in between seasons and Sonja has had some of her less than fine moments. I’m in the liquor business and I do take it seriously. And about the trip, I have a responsibility to be with my partners and we were worried about irresponsible drinking. I think Sonja knew she had to pull it together in a bunch of different ways and we weren’t just all making it up. We were talking about it because we cared about her and no, like I said before, I don’t believe in regrets and I was making a decision that if I were ever in that same circumstance, I would make it again.”
Has she given Jules any advice now that her divorce is getting pretty messy? “I texted her and said to get out. Not meaning from Michael, I like Michael. I meant get it over with as fast as you possibly can because the minutia doesn’t matter. But it’s really not my business. I just sent a text to acknowledge I knew it was going on.”
Andy asks her how long her own divorce has been going so far. She says she thinks it’s 3 1/2 now. Andy asks if the end is in sight, “I think so. I hope so.”
Did Bethenny see it coming with Jules and Michael? “I was told before they came on the show that it was happening.” She says they did see signs of it during filming the show. “They came over to my house a few times and I kind of talked to them a little bit.”
Poll Question: Who would you bring to the doctor with you? 40% chose Dorinda.
