It’s not at all surprising that Bethenny Frankel won’t be rejoining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City this season. With the premiere of her own spin-off, Bethenny Getting Married? directly following the Housewives season 3′s finale last June, the proverbial writing’s practically painted the walls a new shade.
But don’t think that a departure from the ensemble of catty women that popularized Frankel in homes across the country indicates a halt to her Bravo tenure. After watching the natural foods chef finalize book edits and plan a wedding while pregnant on Bethenny Getting Married?, the show returns for its second spin this month – albeit with a different title.
