Gizelle Bryant wants ‘broke Bethenny’ for her ‘Housewives’ dream team

Gizelle Bryant wants a “broke” Bethenny Frankel on her “Real Housewives” dream team.

During Sunday’s installment of “Bravo’s Chat Room,” co-host Kate Chastain of “Below Deck” pressed the “Real Housewives of Potomac” staple about who would be part of her fantasy “Housewives” circle.

“I would choose Erika Jayne [of ‘Beverly Hills’], cause, like, she has a jet and we need to fly around the world in style,” Bryant began.

“Then, I’m going to take broke Bethenny. And the reason why I want her when she was broke — like her Season 1, Season 2 — is because, that’s when she was majorly funny. And she had one-liners, and she was ready and she was hungry, and she was just like all over the place, in a great way,” she continued.

In 2008, Frankel appeared on the debut season of the “Real Housewives of New York,” later departing the show after Season 3 in 2010. In the early episodes, fans watched as Frankel built her Skinnygirl empire, which includes food products and apparel, among other goods. In 2011, she sold Skinnygirl Margarita to Beam Global for $100 million.

 

Frankel, 50, rejoined “Housewives” for Season 7 in 2015 before departing again in 2019.

Bryant, who has been part of the “Potomac” cast since its 2016 premiere, added she would round out her team with “Chat Room” co-host Porsha Williams, a current cast member of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

As for “Summer House” personality Hannah Berner, she told her “Chat Room” co-stars she’s bringing out “the big guns” for her crew.

“Teresa [Giudice], no one messes with her,” Berner said of the “New Jersey” superstar, adding “Potomac’s” Monique Samuels and “Beverly Hills” alum Brandi Glanville would make up her group.

“Put that together with little me from ‘Summer House,’ and let’s see what happens,” she quipped.

“Bravo’s Chat Room” airs Sunday and Monday at 10:30 p.m.
