While Bethenny Frankel’s assent to superstardom coincided with her stint on The Real Housewives of New York, the sassy Skinnygirl certainly doesn’t credit the Housewives franchise for her success.

During several recent speaking engagements, Frankel, who is supposedly talking baby #2 with hubby Jason Hoppy, shared that she has “changed a lot” since her time on the hit BRAVO reality show and that she rarely, if ever tunes in to watch her former castmates behaving badly.

The women are simply on the show to show how rich they are and being on the show is not a healthy environment for anyone….

Given Frankel’s past on-camera feuds with Jill Zarin, Kelly Killoren Bensimon and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, there’s not much of a question of which housewives she’s specifically targeting with these remarks.  Can you blame her?

Bensimon recently gave an interview to E! Online, in which the flighty (and I’m being generous here) airhead shared,

Everybody…every single person…misses the altercations between Bethenny and I… For whatever reason, they just love the fact that we fight for four minutes of television. Do I miss fighting with her? I don’t like fighting. Do I miss her on the show? She was fun.

Ugh.  I think Bethenny would agree that it’s not that Kelly is outright mean or nasty, but there’s just something about her that drives me up a wall.  Does she ask a lot of questions?  Yes.  Does she always answer those questions herself?  Yes.  Are any of them intelligent?  No.
