There was talk of a Bethenny Frankel reality show.

There was also talk of a lawsuit.

As a result of the latter, the former is no longer taking place and Frankel has confirmed her third season return to The Real Housewives of New York City.

“I’m definitely going to do the Housewives this season,” she said to People over the weekend. “It’s been great... I love it. I understand we start filming [season 3] in September.”

When told that series rival Kelly Bensimon wanted to rehabilitate her image, Frankel replied: “Good luck with that. Am I helping? No.”

Don't worry, Bethenny. We never dreamed you would.
