‘Everyone seems to hate’ Bethenny Frankel

Bravo is getting its money’s worth from Bethenny Frankel, who was brought back to revive “The Real Housewives of NYC.”

At the Warwick Hotel on Thursday night, where Countess LuAnn de Lesseps was celebrating her cover on Resident magazine, “Bethenny was causing a scene wherever she went,” one witness told me.

Frankel strolled in late — long after Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer and Kristen Taekman had gotten their glasses of white wine. The prima donna complained loudly when she couldn’t get a Skinnygirl Margarita, the low-cal cocktail she branded.

Bethenny “also threw a fit when she learned a reporter for a British tabloid was in the room, and demanded that he be thrown out,” said my source. “Basically, everyone seems to hate Bethenny.” Except for the show’s contention-craving producers.
