How Bethenny Frankel got a better contract than her 'Real Housewives of New York City' co-stars

"In the first season of 'Housewives,' I made $7,250 for the entire season, but was the only person to put in my contract [that] anything I ever do, I own.

"And that ended up being a pretty good thing when it came to Skinnygirl," she adds.

The contract Frankel was initially presented with included a clause stating that Bravo would receive a percentage of any business Frankel promoted on the show. The reality star would not sign it.

I'm going to bet it was Ramona. Top-tier petty.

The "Alot" says so much. 😊❤️🤣

I think it's either Luann or Ramona.

Like Teresa. She thinks the show would not survive without her. Makes me sick.

They knew better. They don't wanna rumble with the B.

I'm guessing Luann. Her ego probably couldn't handle not getting Countess-like money.

Line them up. Teach them how it's done

They are trying to do what you was successful in doing so I wouldn’t knock them
