Bethenny Frankel Speaks Up for Reality Stars Amid Actors' Strike: 'We Don’t Get Paid Sh*t'

etonline.com:

Bethenny Frankel has one question — «Why isn't reality TV on strike?»The former  star posed the question Wednesday in one of her trademark sound-off posts, in which she shared that, during her first season on the hit Bravo show, she earned a paltry $7,250.«Hollywood is on strike.

Entertainers are fighting for residuals, and no one will promote anything. Why isn't reality TV on strike?» she asked. «I got paid $7,250 for my first season of reality TV and people are still watching those episodes.»«We've always been the losers, the 'I’m up here, you’re down here’ to the actresses and actors,» she continued. «During the last writer’s strike we’re providing all the entertainment, and that’s when really the gold rush of reality TV started.

So, I myself have generated millions and millions of dollars in advertising and online impressions being on reality TV and have never made a single residual.

So, either I’m missing something or we’re getting screwed too.»Frankel then roped in star Nicole «Snooki» Polizzi, 's Kaitlyn Bristowe and 's Lauren Conrad to further drive home her point, that fans can still, to this day, watch their shows and generate millions of eyeballs.
