Among her biggest beefs are “unrealistic NDAs,” which prohibit reality stars from sharing bits of the show or their own life with the public. “It’s a very complicated thing I walked myself into whilst also burning bridges and seeming like I’m biting the hand that fed me, but I fed myself,” she said. “There are a lot of people who didn’t get fed.”
Bravo responded to Frankel’s NDA complaints in a statement.
“Confidentiality clauses are standard practice in reality programming to prevent disclosure of storylines prior to air, They are not intended to prevent disclosure by cast and crew of unlawful acts in the workplace, and they have not been enforced in that
