'Summer House' Star Kyle Cooke Slams 'Hypocrite' Bethenny Frankel for 'Cashing in' on Raquel Leviss Interview
Kyle Cooke is calling out Bethenny Frankel for her lack of self-awareness.
After The Real Housewives of New York City alum sat down with Raquel Leviss for a shocking interview— in which they both claimed the former beauty queen made no money off of Vanderpump Rules Season 10 — the Summer House star claimed Frankel used Leviss for her own personal gain.
Cooke took to the comments section below a fan account that featured a clip of the tell-all, writing, "The irony of it all: Bethenny cashing in ads as she exposes bravo's exploits; and gives Rachel 'a voice'. She literally has more ad spots than any other podcast I've ever listened to. Rachel won't see a dime lol."
Cooke was referring to Leviss by her real first name, a moniker she plans to now go by.
The Loverboy co-founder also claimed that Leviss "had to pay her way to fly to B [Frankel] just to record this," emphasizing, "If this was a true PSA it would be ad free."
As OK! previously reported, the 28-year-old made some bold allegations while sitting down with Frankel — one of them being that she made nothing off of the previous season that documented the fallout of her affair with Tom Sandoval behind Ariana Madix's back.
"I haven't seen a single penny," Leviss claimed of her VPR pay. "It's not fair. And I feel like a toddler saying, 'It's not fair!' But it really isn't. And I feel like I've been portrayed as the ultimate villain. My mistakes that I've made on camera live on forever." Frankel even went on to say that the Sonoma State alum was making "less than her interns" for her drama-filled season on the show.
