Bethenny Frankel reveals she turned down 'Shark Tank' and 'Dancing with the Stars' to return to 'Real Housewives of New York' (Video)

Real Housewives of New York returns this week with the big return of Bethenny Frankel as well. The Skinnygirl entrepreneur appeared on the Today Show on Monday and discussed rumors surrounding the reason she returned.

Frankel, who was also there to promote her new book I Suck at Relationships So You Don't Have To, said people thought she had to rejoin Housewives because her talk show Bethenny was canceled, but that isn’t the reason why.

Today.com reports she revealed she got offers from Shark Tank, Broadway’s Cinderella, Dancing with the Stars and other shows when her talk show got canceled after one season, but ultimately she thought returning to her roots was the right fit.

“I wanted to go home again,” she said, adding it felt like going back to “high school.”

"It had gotten to a point where I really didn't enjoy it anymore," she said of the show. "Now, I'm so glad that I waited, because I'm really enjoying it.
