Bethenny Frankel was inspired by Oprah for the Rachel Levis interview

Former star of the Real Housewives of New York City Bethenny Frankel has his hands full. She is not only a pioneer of the “Reality Reckoning” movement. But she also still gives her point of view on…everything.

Bethenny recently interviewed the Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss for her podcast Just B with Bethenny Frankel. For the first time, Rachel broke down her version of what happened during and after Scandoval. She chose not to return to Pump Rules and is no longer dating Tom Sandoval.

The interview only served to point out that Bethenny was being hypocritical in using Rachel to garner ratings. And she refused to reveal if Rachel was paid to meet. But Bethenny took care of it oprah for advice before Rachel spilled her heart. page six has the details.

Bethenny is just like Oprah

Bethenny shared some of them boring fascinating behind-the-scenes look at her interview with Rachel. The discussion took place in Arizona. You can see what Bethenny had for breakfast and in her room. In her “Prep” folder, Bethenny had a schedule for the day. The price included a photo shoot with Rachel. “Photos (Inspo: Oprah/Diane Sawyer Style)” read the schedule. Somewhere, Oprah and Diane shudder in disbelief.

Also on the program were the times when both ladies had glamour, and then a ‘preamble’ before the big ‘main meeting’. Oh, and an interesting discussion about how hydrated Bethenny is. And Bethenny would be remiss if she didn’t set aside some time for a “post-convo post-mortem rant.” whoops

And Bethenny also had some articles titled “What is Emotional Abuse?” The former RHONY star highlighted part of the paragraph.

One person who wasn’t thrilled with Bethenny’s interview with Rachel was Ariana Madix. She was upset that Bethenny downplayed the seriousness of Sandoval’s cheating because they were not married and had no children.

“I find that hurtful towards other women in relationships that don’t have children. Maybe they can’t have children or don’t want children or don’t want to get married,” Ariana said. “It doesn’t make any of these people’s relationships any less meaningful. She should know better than to say that about anyone.”

That’s true, but we’re talking about Bethenny here. She had never seen VPR before interviewing Rachel.
