A major confrontation between Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps is happening in the next episode of "The Real Housewives of New York City" season 8.
According to the synopsis for the upcoming episode, titled "All the Countess's Men," Bethenny will confront Luann after she found out that the Countess is trying to influence Sonja Morgan.
In the previous episode, Bethenny and Sonja had an ugly spat after Sonja launched her Tipsy Girl brand that could clash with Bethenny's Skinnygirl brand.
Bethenny told Sonja in that episode that she was "personally hurt" by Sonja's business move because she believes that it is very insulting. However, Sonja claimed that she never intended to hurt her in any way.
But in her post on the Bravo blog, Bethenny explained how Sonja's Tipsy Girl infuriated her. She said that Tipsy Girl is not an original name and idea, and Sonja just cannot launch a brand just because she is being featured on TV. She also found Sonja's move a little bit sad.
"Obviously, her idea can't touch my brand. There is no product or distribution. It is a made-for-television idea, and I have over 20 varieties of wine, vodka and ready to drink. You can't find a city of the Housewives where several women haven't followed in my footsteps and attempted booze," Bethenny wrote on the blog.
After realizing that Sonja is being influenced by Luann, will Bethenny blame the Countess for Sonja's business decision?
The synopsis for the upcoming episode also reveals that Luann has a new boyfriend, and she will introduce him to Dorinda Medley and Jules Wainstein. But what will be the girls' reaction upon seeing Luann's new guy?
The official synopsis for the episode, posted on Bravo, reads:
"Bethenny hosts a holiday gift exchange party where the hot topic of discussion is a trip to the Berkshires. During a walk with Sonja, Dorinda gives her some disappointing news. Luann introduces her new boyfriend to Dorinda and Jules at an intimate couples dinner. In the Berkshires, the women discover Ramona shares a past with Luann's man. As Bethenny arrives, the revelation that Luann is living with and "mentoring" Sonja leads to a major confrontation with Luann."
"The Real Housewives of New York City" season 8 episode 8 airs on Wednesday, May 25, on Bravo.
