Bethenny Frankel is opening up about her relationship with Dorinda Medley following her departure from The Real Housewives of New York City.
“We have become even closer. I really did help her through that entire journey,” Frankel told Us Weekly. “I was the first phone call she made after she was let go, and I kind of walked her through what I thought was the best way for her to handle herself as a woman, as an employee.”
Frankel revealed that she was the one who urged Medley “to be honest about” being ousted from the Bravo hit reality series.
“99 percent of the people that leave the Housewives have been fired. I would be in the 1 percent,” Frankel, who chose to leave the show in 2019 to focus on her 10-year-old daughter, Bryn, philanthropy and future projects, told Us Weekly. “99 percent have been fired and kind of lie about it. And it was just good that she just walked through it and owned it.”
She added, “It’s OK to be broken up with. It’s OK to be let go. You know, it’s happened to everybody. And then you’re going to actually help somebody versus just pretending something and then no one’s relating to that because it’s not even the truth.”
