Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer's Beef Has Something to Do with a RHONY Alum

It goes all the way back to Season 1 of #RHONY.

Ramona Singer on Bringing Up Bethenny Frankel’s Softcore Past

Remember when Ramona Singer said that one of her friend's naked photos surfaced, and her daughter, Avery Singer, heard about them at school from one of her classmates as her whole beef with Bethenny Frankel about her past nude scene in a movie began? Well, Real Housewives of New York City fans, we now know who that friend is, and she's someone near and dear to our hearts.

That pal with the nude pics was none other than RHONY alum Alex McCord, Ramona confirmed during Wednesday night's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. As you may recall, Ramona memorably walked off the set of RHONY's Season 1 reunion as Alex discussed her photo shoot in the buff that had recently come to light, visibly upset about the revelation. "My daughter was going to a very elite private school, and my daughter came to me and I was horrified. She goes, 'Mom, people are showing me naked pictures of this woman that you're with on this new show (it was our first season), and they're all asking me about it," Ramona recalled on WWHL. "I'm not so uptight anymore. I mean, then, 10 years ago, my God, I was, like, frigid."

Alex, who made her triumphant return to the Bravo Clubhouse Wednesday night, then asked Ramona if she thought that dinner in the Hamptons with the RHONY crew this season would be "the perfect time" to bring up something from Bethenny's past. "No, I didn't go after her. It was in the press all over. And actually, a friend of mine sent it. So I wanted to know if she had repercussions at her school or with her daughter," Ramona explained. "It was a concerned talk. Was my delivery wrong? Yes." 

But you could tell from Alex's facial expression that she was definitely not buying what Ramona was selling. "Well, you know what? Then, you don't know me that well," Ramona fired back. "You haven't seen me in eight years, so you know what? Forget it." 

Find out what Alex has been up to in the years since her time on RHONY, below.
