Bye-Bye Bethenny: Real Housewives of New York Star Bolts

Us Weekly is reporting that The Real Housewives of New York's Bethenny Frankel will not return next season. According to Frankel:

"Last season was scary and painful," she tells Us about why she’s rejected Bravo’s offers to return for season 4, which begins filming Sept. 20, according to a source. “It took all of the joy out of it.”

According to the magazine, Frankel is obligated by contract to continue filming for the show. However, Bravo is keeping their fingers crossed that she will return.
