Bethenny Quits RHONY

[Real Housewives]

After three seasons, Bethenny Frankel exclusively tells Us Weekly she is leaving the hit Bravo show. 

“Last season was scary and painful," she tells Us about why she’s rejected Bravo’s offers to return for season 4, which begins filming Sept. 20, according to a source. “It took all of the joy out of it.”

Though a Bravo insider reveals that Frankel is contractually bound to make a few appearances on RHONY next season, the network is still hoping that she’ll come back full-time.

I have to say I am definitely going to miss Bethenny on RHONY! She brought some humor, candidness and light-heartedness to the show. But I am very happy for her and she is so far above RHONY now. Let's just hope there will be a second season of BGM so I can get my fix of Bethenny

I'm looking forward to her guest spots on RHONY....I think not appearing on the show is a good decision for Bethenny.  I'm not sure how the other women would react to her given she would have her hands in two different pies.  I wonder how the dynamic will change.
