Their fractured friendship and drama have been the top storyline of the current season.
Frankel is an avid fan of both shows and relates to both women. She has nothing but sympathy for each of them.
“Going through cancer, as a spouse of someone with cancer, we don’t really know what’s going on in their relationship, and people are so quick to judge. I think it was really human and I related to her when she just cracked. She’s been on camera so long that she could have hidden that,” the Skinnytaste mogul said in response to Leakes.

Although Frankel is close friends with Richards and Rinna that doesn’t mean she is against Vanderpump, who is an original cast member. She understands that sometimes all of the ladies need to take a step back.
“She’s been on since the beginning, and she’s a very successful businesswoman. The show’s doing incredibly well, and for everyone, sometimes it just gets to be too much. I get that she needed to take a step back,” expressed Frankel who also made it clear she has nothing but love for all the women in the Bravo franchise.
