Bethenny Frankel’s Ambitiousness Made Her Get The ‘RHONY’ Role
Before and after the ‘RHONY’ role, Bethenny Frankel reeked of ambition. The desire to make something of her life— in a big way, came from her sinking bank account. In her video, she told fans she had only $8,000, so she had to hustle. The first step was selling her signature cookies.
While applying her makeup, she disclosed that her former boyfriend advised her to go to a polo event. Before then, she surfed the city to advance her career. But could not work on the project at hand. Bravo wanted a group of rich moms for the “Manhattan Moms” show.
Fortunately, it never happened because the cast was incomplete. It was a good thing for Frankel, but she did not know at the time. “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart” alum met a “Manhattan Moms” producer who pushed the ‘RHONY‘ idea to her.
At first, she declined. Frankel did not understand the reality TV world, which was new at the time. She was also scared of being described as a “reality TV girl” for most of her life.
Though Bethenny Frankel agreed to film her ‘RHONY’ role, she was not sold on the idea. To make matters worse, her family and friends advised her not to take the role. But she chose to be defiant, and in the end, became a part of a buzzing franchise.
