Bethenny Frankel continues to bash the *Real Housewives of New York* nearly two years after leaving the franchise. The Skinnygirl mogul appeared on the latest episode of Paris Hilton's  [“This is Paris”](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-this-is-paris-76875461/episode/this-is-bethenny-frankel-81116138/) podcast, where she insisted she was playing a character on RHONY and that it was not who she was *"anymore."* *“It became not who I really was anymore … it’s just not what I wanted to be doing anymore,”* Bethenny confessed. She then elaborated, saying, *“I didn’t want to be arguing about things that didn’t really matter anymore. It’s changed. I was there in the beginning when it was something that none of us really even knew what it was.”* *“And now it’s something that … people have a preconceived notion about it, and they know what’s going to happen.”* *“I mean, how many charity events can we go to?”* she continued. *“How many friends can we not support on vacations, and how much drama do we want to avoid and then go right into the drama on the vacation. So … the time had come.”* According to Bethenny, she initially joined RHONY  because she was *“broke and didn’t have anything to lose.”* She then returned for season 7 after Bravo tossed a lot of money her way to come back to the show. A source previously noted that Bethenny had *“one foot out the door”* during negotiations with Bravo for season 9, which is when she tossed out an out-of-this-world salary request to see if the network would bite - they didn't. Bethenny then announced her exit from the show so quickly that producers weren't even aware of the news until they saw it on social media. Yikes. I LOVE Bethenny. She's one of my favorite Housewives, but I don't get why she continues to bash her time on Bravo - no one was forcing her to do the show. Doesn't she have anything else to talk about? *The Real Housewives of New York City *season 13 premieres May 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. ## Thoughts on Bethenny's comments?
