Bethenny Frankel Reveals Why She Stayed Out Of The RHONY Season 8 Reunion Group Hug!

This season's Real Housewives of New York City wrapped up this week with the show's third and final part of the dramatic reunion special. As viewers saw at the very end of the reunion, Bethenny Frankel noticeably remained seated and stayed out of the group hug, which many fans, as well as her castmate Ramona Singer, were puzzled by as they watched the episode on Wednesday night.

Bethenny explained her decision to stay out of the group hug on Twitter during the episode Wednesday night. "I don't double kiss & I don't fake hug," Bethenny tweeted. "Thankfully, I had strep so it wasn't an option anyway."

I don't double kiss & I don't fake hug. Thankfully, I had strep so it wasn't an option anyway.

Though RHONY fans have had mixed reactions to Bethenny's opting out, the Skinnygirl is standing by her decision on Twitter Thursday morning. Regardless of what went down at this season's reunion, Bethenny said she just isn't really a group hug kind of gal.
