It seems that times are changing at Bravo. Reportedly, some Real Housewives of New York alums are heading for a rival network to star in their own show. And, of course, former RHONY star Bethenny Frankel has thoughts about this jaw-dropping news.
Season 13 of RHONY was dismal, and Bravo fired the cast and rebooted the show. However, the new cast seemingly didn’t resonate with fans. The franchise landed in the deep freeze again ahead of Season 16. At BravoCon, Andy Cohen announced that a cast was in place for the upcoming season of RHONY. However, that is all we know.

Plus, the much-anticipated RHONY: Legacy fell apart. Allegedly, the cast’s salary demands sank the project. Reportedly, Jill Zarin “pushing for a big payday was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
Now Jill is reportedly heading to E!, along with Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon. And their new series could be on our screens before the end 0f 2026.
Meanwhile, Bethenny couldn’t wait to weigh in via TikTok. “What do I think about the Housewives going to E! in a new reboot, OG style? I’m glad you asked. I think it’s fan-f*ckingtastic,” she stated.
“E! came in, savage, barracuda style and said, ‘These b*tches aren’t expired, so you know what, let’s put ’em back on the f*cking shelf,'” Bethenny stated. She added, “And Ramona is going to come out of hibernation like a bear. Ready to eat something.”
Bethenny continued, “Jill, the machinations, she’s been turning the wheels, making this happen. Jill had something to do with this ending up in the end zone.” Bethenny added, “And I am happy for all of them.” As for the RHONY reboot? Bethenny called it “boring.” She’s not wrong.
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock.
