Remember when I told you that Bethenny Frankel left RHONY to work on producing show with Mark Burnett? No? Let me refresh you memory from August 21, 2019.
Mark Burnett has an unscripted show for her in development. She will be a true executive producer with control over the narrative. Her statement makes it clear that she is tired of the screaming and misogyny on the RHONY. Her deal with Mark Burnett and MGM production allows for multiple shows across a variety of networks and streaming companies.
In addition, Tamara Tattles exclusive source report that ABC is also courting her as a permanent shark on Shark Tank.
Tamara Tattles exclusive sources also report that the are currently two women on deck for roles on RHONY. One of the two will likely take Bethenny’s spot. The other will take Barbara’s.
Today a press release was issued for their first production, The Big Shot With Bethenny:
LOS ANGELES, CA – FEBRUARY 19, 2020 – HBO Max has ordered eight episodes of The Big Shot with Bethenny (wt), a new competition series from MGM Television, Mark Burnett, and reality TV veteran and producer Bethenny Frankel and her B Real Productions. In each half-hour episode, the next generation of business moguls will compete for a chance to be second-in-command to business tycoon and Skinnygirl founder Frankel, and win a coveted position working on her executive team. In business and in life, Frankel never settles and only accepts excellence. Through a series of real-life tasks and challenges, each aspiring mogul will be tested to see how far they can push their creativity and determination to rise to the top.
And Bethenny Frankel said:
“Aside from motherhood, what truly defines me as a person is being a driven, passionate and hard-working woman determined to make the impossible possible. My mantra is to come from a place of ‘yes’ and to find and create the solution. I am an executor of visions, and I share and impart that information to those who work with me. MGM has been neck-in-neck with me with ideas and their execution. I couldn’t be more thrilled to continue my longstanding relationship with Mark Burnett on this series and pay this American Dream story forward.”
I am in a crap mood today because I need to go work out and I don’t want to and there are all kinds of complications with getting there today. So the first time are two someone sent me this, I wrote it off as old news for my readers. Nonetheless, here you go. 🙂
Oh and these opportunities are brought to you by the influence of Creative Artists Agency (CAA). The talent agency that pretty much runs Hollywood. Frankel is represented by CAA.
Okay, so Bethenny is producing and staring in Mark Burnett’s latest version of The Apprentice: Skinny Girl.
I’ll watch.
Good for her!
Ramona bug eyes probably popped out of her head when she read this.
Hahaha! So true!
This is a good fit for her. She’s not likable in the warm and charming way for daytime tv. But she is likable in the sharp/cutthroat way, which a show like this requires. Hopefully she’ll be smart enough to select someone who will trouble the “skinny” and “girl” of “skinny girl”.
I agree. I think this is a good fit for her. She got so screechy, dominating, and patronizing on RHONY the last few seasons. She is very accomplished and this seems better for her and her brand. And per another comment, Ramona is probably having the meltdown of all meltdowns.
I completely agree. Because RH are ensemble shows at a certain point it’s more enjoyable for cast members to be able to go along to get along or at least recognize each other as essential parts of a whole. I generally don’t enjoy when one cast member clearly thinks they are better than everyone else and that different rules apply to them (whether it’s Nene, LVP, or Vicki). The problem with RHONY vs the other circumstances is Bethenny was legitimately out of their league, but she also wasn’t the personality type to have much generosity or grace about that. The power imbalance was still frustrating to watch, and didn’t make good tv for me. She’s an interesting character though, and I think I’d watch her in a show that better suits her.
Speaking of Ramona, did anyone else see her latest leopard Instagram post with a whole new face? If scroll down to last years photos you’ll see the dramatic difference, but alas her neck needs to match the face
Sadly, a neck lift is really, really expensive. One of my doctors told me she knew a woman here in CR, who was quoted $38,000 to fix issues the woman had with her $28,000 neck lift. Ouch!
OMG?♀️ I’ve had 3 different cancers since age 25. I’m 65 now, and staying au natural, as I’m sick of surgeries???
Basically she’s come full circle… From being a contestant to being the person in charge of the minions, who will make their lives a living Hell for however many weeks. Who do you think will be worse, Martha Stewart or Bethenny? I sure as Hell wouldn’t want her standing over my shoulder all day.
Yes!!! I agree.
Sorry, I posted after I saw yours.
That is quite alright! I feel ya.
Guess I will take my dislike for her elsewhere. Am I really the only one that can’t stand her? Sorry peeps
No, I can’t stand her either and wont watch her show. Cant stomach her arrogance and her voice hurts my ears!
Sorry not sorry, I am not a fan of BF.
I can’t stand her either! Way too neurotic and self-absorbed. It’s tiring to watch her.
Does anyone remember when she was on a Martha Stewart version of the apprentice And B encouraged another contestant to lie for her? She was a liar eay before real housewives
I do.
No she is NOT- As a business woman in corporate America she totally represents & takes us ALL HIGHER BECAUSE PERHAPS SHES OUTSPOKEN? SORRY- NOT SORRY..You Work multi mil. Deals much? So dont be a hater! It’s hard out there for women- No Joke & it shouldn’t be- last thing we need is other women throwing shade no matter what ur circumstance.
Working for her would be torture not a price. I’m sure it will be as successful as the Martha Stewart show she was on and is making a copy of.
Why did Bethenny leave Bravo hanging until the last minute about RHONY? This is a show I’ll most likely skip…like her talk show when she quit the first time. ?
Not watching this proven phony.
She was interviewed and said that the reason she did Housewives was for the paycheck. Really? You just said how successful you are with 10 businesses but you needed Bravo’s check? I just don’t see how she’s selling anything. Who buys Skinny products?
She was making a couple million dollars for like four months of filming.She loves the camera. Of course she was doing it for the paycheck. And here products are extremely successful. That’s why she was on Shark Tank and will be back on it again.
You can hate her all you want, but to act like she isn’t raking in an enormous income is ridiculous.
I agree with both. She’s obviously making lots of money, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how skinny girl is even still a thing. Every single person I know who has tried anything skinny girl says it was so bad. Some even dumped it (and they are not the dumping type).
She sold her booze line for an estimated $100 million dollars and I think that is a very low estimate. She was making aroun $3 million on RHONY when she left for four months of work. Her jeans line sells well.. She is on one of those home shopping channels a lot. It doesn’t matter if her bottle margaritas sucked she got rich off them. It doesn’t matter if her lunch meat didn’t fly. She has shelfspace on nearly every grocery store in the country for things like sweeteners and other odd things. She has the money to throw everything against the wall and see what sticks and make millions doing it.
Oh and I forgot her house flipping. She is a genius at that. A fucking genius.
I always think how pathetic when other housewives envy each other.
NO OTHER PROBABLY WILL BE A BETHENNY FRANKEL.
I HOPE THAT SHE GETS TO ENJOY THE SUCCESS OF THIS (WHICH I IMAGINE SHE WILL EASILY ACCOMPLISH) AND APOLOGIZE TO NO ONE.
When she said she feels that she must downplay her success, that is just sad.
Maybe she’ll feel like she is where she should be.
Playing with her league.. ? Hardworkers.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO START.
Like her or not there is no denying that the girl can hustle and succeed. And has proven that once she got there she’s giving back. You don’t have to like someone to respect their accomplishments.
Good for her. Love her on Shark Tank. She is in her element in the Tank. Unlike others, she used the RH platform to her advantage. Don’t hate the player hate the game, because she is winning. Let her be the example to all of the Bravolebrity. There is a better life, after Bravo.
