Bethenny no longer.
A source tells Us Weekly that Bethenny Frankel has decided not to continue her Bravo reality show Bethenny Ever After after season three.
According to the source, the former Real Housewife of New York "is going to concentrate on her many business ventures."

"The door is open for other projects with Bravo," adds the source. "But as far as Bethenny Ever After goes, she feels that ending the show on a high note and ending it after this season would be best for her family. She doesn't want her [20-month-old] daughter [Bryn] to grow up on TV."

The source adds that the 41-year-old health and fitness guru "loves working with Bravo" and "will probably continue to work with Bravo in some way.."

"The world is her oyster right now," the source tells Us. "She has so many options. Her Skinnygirl empire is doing so well, and the paperback version of [her book] A Place of Yes went on sale Jan. 2. Bethenny will pull something out of her sleeve shortly."
Bravo told Us: "They haven't even finished shooting this season so no decision has been made about another one yet."
Bethenny Ever After season three premieres Monday, Feb. 20 at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo. Bethenny Frankel is living life in the fast lane, juggling her many roles as wife, mother and mogul.
Tell Us What You Think
12@Sasha Johnson, I agree with you. I too, find her witty, intelligent and load-mouth.. but I â?¥ her. Its fun to watch her.
Is that what she calls the deep-sixing of a show NO ONE watches? A 'High Note?'
Huge mistake. She and Jason were the new "Rhoda" of the 2010s....what a shame. Now that she has reached "A Place of Yes".... she's letting everyone down that put her there
Disagree Charlotte - She is a successful person and I have never found her show dull or boring. The Housewives of Beverly Hills is a joke. A bunch of stupid rich women nitpiking on every little comment and acting like a bunch of idiots.
The show gets low ratings. I bet Bravo is cancelling it and she is trying to put her own spin on it. No one wants to watch her. She has a huge ego and is annoying.
She doesn't need the money I guess like all the other so called Reality people. Guess she does have some rains and talent... :)
I hate that she is quitting.....just love her show, it is so much more really than all the others. Her and Janson and watching them raise Bree is such a delight and of course I was hoping there would also be baby #4 we could what come into the world. This should is never depressing like the other and leaves me always wanting more.....very inspiring, love love love.......please talk her into one more season at least....love the -laws too! They are amazing and Bethaneny certainly is trying considering where she came from........She is beautiful inside and out!!!!
I love her. She is so witty and intelligent and honest.
I saw this coming.After Bethenny was exposed as a liar she has backed out of the public eye a bit.The girl has a huge ego and she began to believe her own hype.
shannon... i agree with you
She looks awful
I will miss her! The only likable housewife and most respectable. Somewhere Jill Zarin is doing a happy dance....until Bethenny conquers something else!
