Bethenny Frankel: Happily Finished with "Real Housewives"

Bringing an end to the holiday weekend with some quality family time, Bethenny Frankel was out alongside husband Jason Hoppy and daughter Bryn in SoHo on Monday (September 6).

The trio looked to be having quite the enjoyable time together, as the former "Real Housewives of New York" star stopped along the way to try on a few hats from a vendor under the watchful eyes of her husband.

Having announced her decision to leave Bravo's "Real Housewives" despite a lucrative offer, Bethenny was on "Live with Regis & Kelly" today to talk about the decision.

Asked if she's missing the drama, Frankel replied, "I don't. I feel like it was a pyramid scam. And you're lucky to get out at the top and I don't want to go back in the bottom and get stuck in the middle."

As for whether what viewers watch is real, the 39-year-old tells, "The housewives are reality, but it gets sensationalized. But not because of the producers, because of the people. Some people are just who they are. I was completely who I was on the housewives. It's that the women try to outdo each other, slapping, pulling hair..."
