Bethenny Frankel, of Real Housewives of New York fame, can’t seem to catch a break lately. Not only is she undergoing a messy public divorce, but Frankel also learned that her new talk show is hurting in the ratings, while Queen Latifah is excelling.
According to Nielsen, the leader in ratings’ technology, Bethenny’s show is garnering a measly .9 share. Queen Latifah, however, is raking in a solid 1.4.
Star claims that the socialite is furious over the situation. They quote an alleged insider as saying:
“Bethenny is livid about Queen Latifah beating her--she can’t believe this is happening. She’s holding crisis talks in order to figure out what Latifah has that she doesn’t.”
What’s worse is that Bethenny got blindsided by the situation. The same source told the publication that Frankel thought she was in the clear when Kris got canceled:
“Bethenny was overjoyed when Kris Jenner’s show got canned, because she figured Kris was her biggest competition. She had no idea that Queen Latifah would be the one to crush her. Unfortunately, she’s still seen as a Real Housewife, and people just like Queen Latifah better. This is a huge embarrassment.”
If true, this wouldn’t be the first time that Bethenny has been embarrassed in public. Jason Hoppy, her ex, has made sure of that.
Their divorce has made national headlines for Hoppy’s allegations and actions. Most recently, he was ordered by the judge to cease secretly recording Frankel and her employees.
Despite his behavior, Bethenny risks coming off poorly if she continues to bash him. Even Ellen thinks it’s a bad idea, according to an article on Radar Online. They quote an insider as saying:
“Ellen wants Bethenny to stop yakking about the divorce because there is a public perception that she’s to blame for the split. Jason is very sympathetic figure — a doting dad — and quite frankly, many of Bethenny’s viewers and fans don’t understand why she dumped him. Whenever Bethenny opines about how hard the divorce has been on her and bemoans that Jason wasn’t the love of her life, viewers turn the channel. This is one of the major factors contributing to Bethenny’s very weak ratings.”
