Frankel admits that one of the reasons why viewers didn't tune in was because she simply couldn't let herself loose and speak her mind freely.

Meanwhile, Frankel is no longer homeless. The brunette beauty has finally settled on a swanky SoHo pad for $4.2 million.

According to the New York Daily News on Friday, Frankel is currently renovating her new digs and will soon move in with her 5-year-old daughter, Bryn.

The site says that the apartment has 14-foot ceilings, double mahogany framed arched windows, plank walnut flooring, wine storage and a large wood burning fireplace.

Frankel separated from her soon-to-be ex-husband Jason Hoppy back in December of 2012. The couple were married for two years before pulling the plug on their marriage.

The Real Housewives of New York airs every Tuesday on Bravo.
