Real Housewives of New York News: Is Bethenny Frankel Back?

Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, and LuAnn de Lesseps are going to be returning in 2015 when the seventh season of the Real Housewives of New York goes on air. Since the seventh season is only due next year, current gossip has swirled around which new housewives or returning ones will be added to the cast.

At the beginning of October, speculation was rife that Bethenny Frankel would be returning to the show, four years after she left. But she subsequently denied that she would return. People quotes her saying, "I haven't signed anything, I have a great relationship with Andy Cohen and the housewives, and they've asked me to come back for years."

Frankel went on to add, that if she did return to the reality show, she would not be sharing as much as she did previously. She explained that she "wouldn't put every intimate detail of her personal life or her daughter's in the show, but would connect to women through her personal perspective and experience."

The current news about Frankel's return suggest that she does not want to return if her rival Jill Zarin also returns to The Real Housewives of New York. Radar Online in its article states that "Frankel feels Zarin's return would create more false drama and it would be an attempt to recreate the past"

As for the rest of the current housewives on the show, Enstarz is reporting that Sonia Morgan is facing chapter 11 reorganization as Hannibal Pictures enforces liens on her earnings and assets.

Radar Online is also reporting that Aviva Drescher who was fired from the show and will not be appearing in the 7<sup>th season, is blaming the show for creating stress in her marriage. She is due to appear in next year's Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars where she will attend counseling sessions with her husband Reid.
