Bethenny Offered $1 Million for ‘Real Housewives’ Return

Bravo TV is offering Bethenny Frankel, former star of The Real Housewives of New York City, $1 million to return to the show.

Frankel, 43, left the reality show back in 2010 after three seasons. Afterwards, Frankel went on to expand her Skinny Girl million dollar franchise and even got her own Bravo spinoff shows Bethenny Getting Married and Bethenny Ever After.  She also hosted the talk show Bethenny on Fox Television for a season.

Now Bravo is apparently in desperate need of getting ratings up and has offered Frankel $1 million to return to the show that made her a star. Frankel is reportedly in negotiations with Bravo for several shows, but she has not signed any new contracts yet. According to one Radar Online insider, “[Producers] told Bethenny she could return as a special guest star, which wouldn’t require as much filming, which is appealing to her.”
