Frankel shared with Dorinda Medley that she askedRadziwill's on-again, off-again boyfriend Adam Kenworthy to be a part of her charity work when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston last year. When Adam declined to provide photography during the disaster relief effort without being compensated, according to Bethenny, she said "it just rubbed me the wrong way" and that Carole "didn't mind it."
She went on to explain to Dorinda that the combination of Carole seeming to not take as much of an interest in her disaster relief and being "on her own page with Tinsley [Mortimer] and Adam" had put some distance between them.
Bethenny later tweeted during the episode, "I think Adam is a good person. He is entitled to not want to work for free. I was knee deep in it & only interested in people who could help [with] the relief effort."
Thank you & I may take you up on it. I think Adam is a good person. He is entitled to not want to work for free. I was knee deep in it & only interested in people who could help w the relief effort.— Bethenny Frankel (@Bethenny) May 17, 2018
Carole Radziwill took to Twitter and provided her own explanation of why things had become tense between her and Bethenny this season of RHONY, denying that it had anything to do with Adam. "It has to do with Bethenny and the way she talks about me behind my back and to my face," she tweeted Thursday morning. "It's all Bethenny."
No it has to do with Bethenny and the way she talks about me behind my back and to my face. It's all Bethenny. Twilight zone..... https://t.co/D2kKfospfU— Carole Radziwill (@CaroleRadziwill) May 17, 2018
Carole also responded to Bethenny saying in the episode that she always defends the person she's sitting next to and "doesn't have her own voice." "I'm a strong rational person so I don't mind sticking up for friends that are being picked on....did it for everyone but I will also do it for myself if I have to," she tweeted. "I'd rather laugh with my friends though."

Bethenny recently revealed that her feud with Carole has taken a toll on her, who opened up about this difficult season of RHONY. “It’s a little bit difficult. The whole season was a little bit challenging for me, truthfully. Working so much, I’ve filmed [other] television shows and I’m a mom, which is very important to me, obviously — and I just cracked at the end of the season," she told PEOPLE. "I’m not used to that either, so it’s a very different, unsettling season for me.”
