If you're looking for drama on TV you never have to look any futher than The Real Housewives franchise. Bethenny Frankel, star of the New York show and author of the new best seller The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life, exclusively told RadarOnline.com that the show is "completely toxic, completely psychotic and completely drama filled."

Bethenny also revealed that she's "kind of outgrown," the show that focuses on bitchy back stabbing antics of a group of women over 40.

"I don't bite the hand that feeds me," Bethenny said of the show and network that helped promote her career, but she said filming the upcoming season was "one of the most difficult things I've ever done."

Bethenny is engaged to Jason Hoppy and is expecting her first baby in June. "It wasn't easy for me to handle this year," she said about filming the show while pregnant.

She is tourning the country for her book tour and had sharp words for her co-stars motivations on the show. "They should not be on television just to get manicures and diamonds."

The Skinnygirl Dish "unleashes your skinny chef," Bethenny said of her new book.  With more than 60 recipes that can be renovated to make over 1,000 delicious dishes Bethenny said she takes "fattening recipes like chicken wings or guacamole or spinach artichoke dip and I make them skinny."

Bethany is phoney. Uses all the housewives for her personal gain. Why was she in the show to begin with, she was not a hosuewife until now!!!

Jill a real self-centered mean girl and her and the "countless" are a perfect match. Jill only feels good when she has a "down and out" friend to nurse back, then she dumps them when they become more successfull that she is.

She sure loved those other women when they were helping her or doing things for her. I guess she doesn't need them anymore.

She seems to be a very disingenuous person to me. I really can't stand her anymore. She never shuts up-she thinks she so clever and that everyone gives a flying fig about what she has to say. Go away Bethenny.
