"I'm genuinely excited, with a side of slightly nervous, for my return to 'The Real Housewives of New York City,'" the Skinnygirl founder said in a statement. "Bravo has always been the place on television where I have the freedom to be unfiltered, honest and inappropriate, with an audience who has been with me from the beginning. I can't wait to see what this next chapter brings for all of us. Watch what happens!"

Bethenny joins returning cast members Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan for the upcoming seventh season.
