Bethenny Frankel News 2014: 'Real Housewives' Star Confirms That She Was Never Offered A Contract On ‘The View’ [VIDEO]
While there's no doubt that Bethenny Frankel is looking to get back on the small screen with a new daytime talk show, it doesn't look like she's going to be appearing on television screens just yet.
Is Bethenny Frankel's Legal Battle With Jason Hoppy Causing Her Millions?
Frankel is slamming reports that she is negotiating a contract to replace Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd on The View. Rumors have circulated since last week that the ABC Network is looking to bring Frankel on full-time now that McCarthy, Shepherd, and Barbara Walters are all gone.
She wrote on her Twitter account, "Funny. I'm getting more attention for a talk show that I'm not on and haven't been offered than one that I'm actually on. #lessworkmolove."
According to reports the ABC Network is looking to replace Walters with someone who will be able to mix well with the rest of the cast while still give the show a ratings boot. A source tells Naughty But Nice Rob, "The View is looking for someone to spice up the show. Someone with lots of opinions and a big personality and Bethenny is at the top of the list."
A rep for The View tells RumorFix denies the rumors though, stating, "This is incorrect on a couple of counts. There is no truth to this. Also, you cannot replace an icon like Barbara Walters and that's not what we are looking to do. However, we will at some point in the near future add a new voice to the panel."
Frankel's own daytime talk show, Bethenny, was axed after just one season earlier this year.
