According to Larsa Pippen, the star-studded dinner she recently attended hosted by Bethenny Frankel wasn’t about taking down Bravo or reality TV.
On the contrary, The Real Housewives of Miami star made it clear that she has no qualms with the reality TV network despite being close with The Real Housewives of New York alum, who has been quite vocal about her desire for a reality TV reckoning.
Larsa wears her feelings on her sleeve
“I know she has her issues with Bravo,” Larsa, said of Bethenny on Gibson Johns’ new podcast. “I don’t personally have any issues with Bravo. We didn’t have a conversation like that,” she added.
Larsa starred on the first season of RHOM in 2011 and raved about her amazing experience with Bravo over the years.
“I wasn’t happy I wouldn’t come back,” she admitted. “But I’m not someone who shies away from my feelings. And if I’d had issues — you know my personality — I would address them.”
She made it clear that while she and Bethenny, 52, were close, she was not a part of the latter’s crusade against Bravo and reality TV. And that it wasn’t the reason behind the recent dinner.
Larsa added that most guests were invited because they host podcasts on iHeart, who co-hosted the dinner with Bethenny.
“They were just optimistic conversations about our podcasts,” Larsa explained and shared that she had a great time at the event.
Changes in reality TV
Bethenny, on the other hand, isn’t being shy about her thoughts on reality TV. After the dinner she hosted at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles for past and present Bravolebrities, as well as other stars, she teased on Instagram that she was still “cleaning up all the spilled tea.”
She publicly waged war against NBC and Bravo for several months. She’s fighting for the rights of reality TV stars. B thinks that they deserved a union like SAG-AFTRA to protect their rights and speak for them.
Page Six recently reported that Bethenny had already recruited over 80 people to her cause to fight for “systemic change” in the reality TV world.
Looks like, for the time being, Bravo can rest easy that Larsa isn’t part of that body count just yet.
