‘Real Housewives Of New York City’: Did Carole Radziwill Lie About Quitting Cast?

It looks like the ongoing feud between “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill is still alive following a shady Twitter post from the Skinnygirl founder. Just days after the Emmy Award-winning journalist announced she was quitting the reality series, her frenemy appeared to call her bluff.

Carole and Bethenny’s friendship began to quickly fall apart during “RHONY” Season 10. Although the two attempted to address their issues, their arguments became more intense, and eventually, speaking to one another was no longer an option.

Following their rift and Carole’s announcement that she is voluntarily leaving the show, Bethenny seemed to ignite their feud once again with a shady post on Twitter.

“Bravo has reasons for not asking hwives to return. It’s based on research & focus groups & YOU. Aside from 3 years I left, no RHONY cast member has ever quit. One saying they chose to depart & attributing it to me is fiction. It’s healthier to be truthful about a hard situation,” she tweeted.

On July 25, Carole revealed she would be leaving the show to focus on her journalism career. “My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament,” she said in a statement.

“I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy.”

Bethenny’s shady Twitter post comes after sources claimed the 47-year-old was partially to blame for Carole’s exit from the series. Insiders told People the women failed to fix their friendship and the ongoing tension became a huge issue.

“They never seemed to be able to reconcile. The show couldn’t go on another season with both of them at each other’s throats. And Bethenny’s an OG. She’s been there since the beginning. She’s a [piece of work], but she gives the show a lot of energy,” the source explained.

“There’s no way they’re going to do it without her. Last time she left, the show went to hell,” the insider noted.

Although Bethenny is a popular choice for Bravo’s ratings, her cast members don’t seem to share the same opinion as the network. The television personality is reportedly disliked by her co-stars due to her feelings of superiority.

Sources close to the show told TMZ the other women believe Bethenny speaks down to everyone and is constantly negative because she believes she is more accomplished than her co-stars.

While the women of “Real Housewives of New York City” have been attempting to remain cordial with Bethenny, there is no telling how the cast changes will affect their relationship when the ladies come back together to shoot a new season.
