Bethenny Frankel wants to set the record straight as to why she's returning to The Real Housewives of New York. The reality television star says that the decision to return to the show was 100 percent hers, and that she didn't want to deal with public scrutiny for leaving television altogether after her talk show was pulled from the air.

Frankel shocked fans by announcing that she is returning to the hit Bravo franchise after having quit nearly four years ago. The single mom says that while she has many reasons as to why she's back, the number one reason why is that she wants to "connect" with her audience again.

She wrote on her official site on Monday, "Everyone has an opinion about why I'm returning to The Real Housewives of New York. But, we all know what they say about opinions. The only person that knows the truth is me, and the truth is, I have many reasons."

She added, "After my talk show ended I didn't see myself returning to television, I simply didn't want the public scrutiny. Then, I realized if I didn't return to TV, my exit wouldn't have been my choice. That didn't sit well with me. I like to do things on my own terms and returning to the Real Housewives was 100% my decision. The show gives me an opportunity to connect with my audience, and to inspire other women to live out their dreams.

Meanwhile, according to The Inquisitr on Monday, there's a good chance that Frankel is using the show for her own good use, hinting that fans might be seeing more of Frankel's business than her personal side this time around.

The site wrote, "This is a business move that makes sense for Bethenny, as she has created a large empire in regards to healthy living and being the best version of oneself. But with these three products being launched along with the announcement of her return to The Real Housewives of New York, will fans see more of Bethenny Frankel than just her business?"
