Bethenny Frankel is debunking fan theories that she filmed “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy” with her former co-stars.
“I am not in St. Barts. I did not go to St. Barts,” the former reality star revealed on Wednesday’s episode of her iHeart podcast, “ReWives.”
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum explained that she was “so flattered” to still be “part of this conversation” despite having left the franchise in 2019.
“I have to thank you all and people that write this stuff that really want me to be there, I’m just actually genuinely flattered, like, thank you,” she continued.
“I love that I’m someone that people really just think of as part of it.”
Frankel, 52, addressed the speculation after fans were convinced they spotted her in a video Ramona Singer – who was on the “RHUGT” trip – shared on her Instagram Story.
The clip gave a glimpse of a mystery woman — which many thought was the Skinnygirl founder — wearing a hat and sunglasses.
“I do often wear a hat and glasses, so everyone started saying that I was there, that I was going to St. Barts, and I didn’t correct immediately, because I was watching what was happening, because I wanted to see how far this stupid thing could go,” Frankel added on her podcast.
The former Bravolebrity teased that it’d be a “great story” if she came to “surprise everybody” like her former friend Jill Zarin, who infamously shocked her castmates on a Season 3 trip of “RHONY.”
“She was probably loving it but, in fairness to Jill, I was loving it, too. I thought it was really funny to be reading about this,” Frankel said.
The “Big Shot With Bethenny” alum said she even saw a fan zoom in on a fork featured in a photo from St. Barts to try and spot her “reflection” in the utensil.
“I think that horse has left the farm, but I love being a part of the conversation,” Frankel concluded. “I am not in St. Barts.”
The “RHUGT: RHONY Legacy” cast recently wrapped filming for Peacock’s fifth installment of the spinoff.
