The Bravo Papers: Weekly News & Commentary with Bravo & Botox

Reality TV star-turned-entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel and Raquel Leviss discuss their experience playing the reality TV game, their differing perceptions of intelligence and success, the power of a sincere apology, love addiction and the consequences of reality TV. They also analyze a leaked video scandal, behind-the-scenes drama, financial aspects, and critique Bethenny's interview style and bullying towards Raquel.

For this very special bonus episode I am joined by comedian, podcast host, vlogger and fellow Bravo-content creator, Selle Brooks! As a fellow Summer House addict, she helps me dive into what went wrong with the show, how and when it got off-course, the problems with the fandom, and the role of social media in the cast-dynamics. We also discuss some current tea going on with filming/behind the scenes, casting choices for next season and if there is still a future for this show or if it's time to retire and allow Martha's Vineyard to take center stage. All of this and so much more!Today's Guest: Selle Brooks Podcast: Who Asked Me?

Should reality tv stars unionize and fight for better contracts, rights and pay? F**K YES. Is Bethenny Frankel the person to galvanize them into action and create the first reality tv stars union? Absolutely f**king not. As a unionized worker, I have A LOT of thoughts on the nuances of this topic. PS -- Please don't come after me, Bethenny... Learn more about your ad choices.
