Betheny Frankel So Desperate Begs Real Housewives Of New York Alum For Reunion [VIDEO]'Laughable' Paycheck Has Jill Zarin Alex McCord And Kelly Bensimon Insulted For Just 'Using' Them

Bethenny Frankel is so desperate for better ratings that she begs her Real Housewives Of New York alum frenemies to appear in a Real Housewives of New York reunion show on 'Bethenny.' But The least Frankel could do is be cordial to her old RHONY castmates if she is so desperate for better ratings. If you're going to beg, 'Bethenny' could give more money to alum or at least Frankel could call the Real Housewives herself!

The Real Housewives of New York alum are totally insulted with the way Bethenny Frankel invited them on her show 'Bethenny.' She offered the ladies a 'laughable' paycheck and didn't even call the women herlsef, having her staff call the Housewives!

 One New York Housewife, Alex McCord, tells the real reason behind her turning down Real Housewives Of New York reunion show on 'Bethenny' and the real reason was money. She said she was offered  a 'laughable' paycheck. Producers at Bethenny asked the Housewives to be on 'Bethenny' for a reunion show but the offer was 'Less Than Union Scale.'

But Zarin wasn't as concerned with her payday as being called by 'Bethenny' producers instead of old friend BEtheny Frankel herself.

"She couldn't even pick up the phone to call me!" Jill complained to In Touch. "I was shocked."  "I was hoping she was looking for resolution and not to use me for ratings."

And Frenemy Kelly Bensimon seems the most insulted by Bethenny Frankel saying,"She is just a sensationalist. She will suck the blood from your child to get ratings! I am so over her."

Why would Bethenny Frankel offer so little when she needs the RHONY reunion show for better ratings. And why didn't she just call the women herlself?

'Bethenny' is getting killed in the ratings by Queen Latifah's talk show and the Real Housewives of New York reunion special would have been just what 'Bethenny' needed during crisis mode.

Bethenny Frankel talk show ratings are not very good, especially when competing with a Queen... Queen Latifah that is. The Queen has had stars like Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on her show while hte best celebrity Bethenny has gotten on 'Bethenny' is Real Housewife NeNe Leakes. Eleen Degeneres no longer wants to be associated with the 'Bethenny' talk show's poor outcome. 

 'Bethenny' is falling way behind in talk show ratings as The Queen has scored 1/3 higher ratings than Bethenny and Latifah's high ratings could be the cause of the 'Bethenny' talk show demise. It doesn't help Bethenny that she can't get support from RHONY old castmates to help her with 'Bethenny' low ratings. 'Bethenny' has a high chance of being cancelled after the queen continues killing her in the talk show ratings race.

After constant low ratings and the possibility of being cancelled, Bethenny Frankel has resorted to begging Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, and Kelly Bensimon to be guests on her show but the RHONY ladies have refused her invitation. A Real Housewives of New York reunion was in talks for 'Bethenny' but now the RHONY special will most likely not take place after BEthenny was rude to them. Why would Bethenny be so cheap?

A Bethenny Frankel insider reveals about the need to get the Housewives on her show, "Bethenny is feeling pressure from network executives because ratings from her talk show have been less than stellar. Both ladies turned down the invitation to appear on the talk show. She didn't want to invite Jill and Alex to come on, but she really needs a ratings boost, and thought having them come on would generate a ton of publicity. Bethenny was stunned that they both said no, she really thought they would agree to come on the show. Bethenny's bosses suggested she call Jill and Alex personally, but she absolutely refused."

Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin were once best friends but after Bethenny told the other Real Housewives Of New York not to film with her, which was most likely the reason Zarin was fired from the Housewives, and Zarin being jealous of the SkinnyGirl mogul for getting Bravo spinoff shows, their friendship has deceased and not amicably. Jill constantly tells interviewers her disdain for Bethenny.
