While promoting the tenth season of The Real Housewives of New York City in Australia, Bethenny Frankel opens up about her current relationship with Carole Radziwill. "There's no fallout between Carole and myself," she told TheFIX. "I really love Carole."
While it may seem like the two drifted apart, the Skinnygirl mogul says her relationship with Radziwill was just never that deep.
"Most of my friends, my best friends, I've had for 30 years. So, I have my really tight-knit group and meeting any new people is always – I don't want to say risky – but it's not the same depth and dimension as friends that you've had your whole life," she explained.
"And creating friendships under these circumstances on a reality show with so many people around… If you have any sort of slight shift, everybody's like, well, what happened?... There are too many cooks spoiling the broth."
She added: "But I love Carole, and I love being on the show with her, and it's been a great experience."
Meanwhile, Radziwill addresses the status of her friendship with Frankel with E! News last week.
"I'm an idealistic kind of person. I look at the world that way, I look at people that way, and I think I looked at her that way," Carole told E! News. "And I feel like now I see her a little bit more realistically and less idealistically. There were just some things that were said and done that I just felt like weren't completely consistent with the girl I knew."
Fans will see Carole and Bethenny "talk it out and we talk it out again," but Carole said she felt "major disappointment" in their falling out.
"I never expected that to happen, "she continued. "I feel like we truly developed a friendship off the show and then I just saw some behavior that I just didn't think was consistent with someone I would consider a really good friend."
Carole wouldn't reveal the whole story of their fractured relationship , but she explained, "It was a bunch of things. It just felt like suddenly it was very gossip-y and mean and unnecessary, and I was just like, that's not the person I knew."
She added: "I am not competitive with my friends. I only wish my friends the best in everything and much success...I celebrate them. I compete with only myself, so it was just a little eye-opening, that's where we are right now."
