Bethenny Frankel Returning to 'Real Housewives of New York'; Complete Cast to Join In?

Bethenny Frankel has confirmed that she is rejoining the casts of "Real Housewives of New York" for its newest season.

Bravo announced her comeback on Monday, Oct. 20. Two days before Bravo's announcement, Frankel spoke with Bravo and said that she is "genuinely excited, with a side of slightly nervous" for her return.

"Bravo has always been the place on television where I have the freedom to be unfiltered, honest and inappropriate, with an audience who has been with me from the beginning. I can't wait to see what this next chapter brings for all of us. Watch what happens!" she shared.

Andy Cohen, executive producer of the show, also expressed his excitement. He also complimented Frankel. "Bethenny is one of the most popular Housewives in the history of the franchise," he explained. "And I couldn't be more excited she is coming home to Bravo."

It has also been reported that the original cast could return as well. The only two remaining in the original roster of the previous season are LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer.

Meanwhile, Frankel revealed the real reason why she came back. "I'm such a different person and in such a different place than when I was on first season," she explained. "Slightly exciting, a little bit of anxiousness, but it feels fresh."

Frankel also opened up on her personal website, Bethenny.com, and said that her relationship with Bravo has been constant over the years, even after she decided to leave in 2010.

"After many years of hesitation, I have decided to return to my roots on The 'Real Housewives of New York City.' I have been through a long and arduous road since my departure, and I'm finally coming out on the other side. It finally feels right to go home again," she said.

Finally, Frankel thanked her fans for their honesty, loyalty and support.

"I can't wait to see what the road ahead has in store for us. Watch what happens," she added.
