‘RHONY’ Star Jessel Taank Thinks Bethenny Frankel Is Most ‘Overrated Housewife,’ Says She’s ‘Going Off the Rails’

The 'Real Housewives' newbie spoke her mind on 'Watch What Happens Live' when asked by Andy Cohen about the legacy of the franchise

Jessel Taank has no problem making some big enemies in the Big Apple. The Real Housewives of New York City star did not mince words on Sunday when Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen asked her opinion on the "most overrated" Housewife of all-time.

With a drink in hand, Taank said without hesitation, "I think Bethenny Frankel is going off the rails."

Taank had some back-up in the form of Below Deck star Kate Chastain, who said, "I'm going to agree with you."

Frankel has made headlines recently with her push for reality TV stars to unionize, which has gained major traction.

More controversially, she's recently welcomed former Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss (who now goes by Rachel) and former Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes on her Just B podcast. During both interviews, Frankel and her guests frequently trashed Bravo, Cohen and the reality television establishment.

Frankel has yet to respond to Taank's dig, but earlier this month she took a shot at Taank and the rest of the RHONY reboot cast in an exclusive conversation with The Messenger, saying it "could have a different name."

"The women are very, very seasoned coming in, very prepared," Frankel explained. "They seem like they've gone to Fame University, you know what I mean? They're ready for fame. And we were all a bunch of morons that were a mess. So they seem very groomed and polished... and they're all very similar. I felt that they were similar to one another."
