“He’s still sitting in the same place I left him”: Bethenny Frankel calls out Andy Cohen’s vague response about her return to RHONY

After a rough divorce from her former husband, Jason Hoppy, television personality-turned-businesswoman Bethenny Frankel has drawn online attention after she took a shot at TV host and producer Andy Cohen following his comment about the Real Housewives of New York alum.

According to Entertainment Weekly, at Bravo Fan Fest last weekend, when Andy Cohen, 58, faced a question about whether Bethenny Frankel might return to the show, the Bravo TV network executive gave a vague response and dismissed the idea.

Executive producer of the reality show RHONY, Andy Cohen, was recently moderating a panel at the Bravo Fan Fest, where journalist-turned-reality TV star Carole Radziwill was also present. When Radziwill was asked about Frankel's return to RHONY, she replied:

"I don't know if she'd come back. That's way above my pay grade. That's Andy's [decision]."

Following Radziwill's comment, Andy Cohen, who did not pay much heed to the question regarding Frankel's return to the show, responded by saying:

"I'm not really active on TikTok."

Bethenny Frankel, 55, who joined RHONY as an original cast member in 2008 and is the founder of the cocktail and spirits brand Skinnygirl, took to her TikTok on October 24, 2026, following Andy Cohen's vague response and made a video in which she called him out, saying:

"Well, Andy Cohen took a swipe at me on a panel. So let’s take the bait."

Calling Cohen out on his remark, Frankel said:

"Which is abundantly clear, because he's still sitting in the same place I left him."

Bethenny Frankel added:

"He’s living the stainless steel life on Bravo, where he’s their b*tch. He waits for them to pay their paycheck, while we are all over here making our own coin, on our own way, on our own terms."

Frankel, the founder of the BStrong disaster relief initiative, ended her TikTok video by noting:

"If you’re gonna take a shot at this b*tch, you better not miss."

Bethenny Frankel openly criticized the show, Real Housewives of New York

According to Entertainment Weekly, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, Bethenny Frankel, opened up and became vocal about RHONY and was even critical of the show, mentioning how it did not create a suitable environment for women who were part of the reality show.

Back in 2022, Andy Cohen reportedly claimed that Bethenny was criticizing and badmouthing the Real Housewives franchise while she was a guest on Watch What Happens Live. Frankel at the time clarified and said:

"I actually haven't been trashing the show. I've said it wasn't for me because I do think it was toxic."
