Does Bethenny Get to Approve Her #RHONY Scenes?

Bethenny Frankel's return to the Real Housewives of New York this season has certainly been a hot topic of dicussion. And with her buzzy return, comes some speculation, including whether or not she has the final say when it comes to which of her scenes make it into an epsiode.

The short answer? "She has none," Andy Cohen reveals about the gossip. "As a matter of fact, she gets the episode when everyone else does," Andy tells the New York Post's Page Six. "We send the Housewives the episodes the week before. She has absolutely no say."

And the same goes for whether she looks extra fabulous or not. "I've said to [Bethenny] this season, 'Oh, you're not going to like x, y or z. You look like a beast!'" Andy reveals. "But she has nothing to do with editing, she has no knowledge of what's going to be in the episodes, she has no warning."

Just last month Bethenny opened up about her highly-anticipated return to RHONY, sharing she's making no apologies.

"I can be harsh and that's part of who I am," she adds. "It is what it is...I'm excited to be back at the show. I'm not really apologetic because I'm a good person. I have good friends. I'm having a great time. I'm glad I came back. The B is back."

Actually, Bethenny was pretty surprised by how much she had people talking prior to her first appearance back on RHONY.

"I am back and there's a lot of talk about me being back," she shared with HuffPost Live. "And the B is back and for some reason I think it's almost like I'm a person that's passed away where everybody only remembers the good about me. So people are saying, 'What happened? She's so bitchy now and she lashed out.' I was always a little bit bitchy. I mean I haven't really changed that much."
