Sonja Morgan is setting the record straight about Bethenny Frankel’s shocking claim she was nearly fired from The Real Housewives of New York City! Perez Hilton reported Bethenny’s claim first in an exclusive clip… while watching RHONY’s season 3 “Scary Island” episode on her ReWives with Bethenny Frankel podcast, the 52-year-old television personality spilled that she saved Sonja and Alex McCord from almost being axed from the Bravo reality series.

She claimed in the podcast premiere: Speaking about Alex, the Skinnygirl founder said the 49-year-old had been “too sound of mind” for the show and would have been let go if she didn’t have a “big moment” with Jill Zarin: Related: Meghan King & Brandi Glanville Go After Jana Kramer For Getting ‘Sensitive’ Over Mike Comment! Bethenny then recalled years after the season three episode, she overheard “one of the producers” share they wanted to “let Sonja go” because “she was just a disaster.” Ouch!

But was her job ever really in jeopardy? In a statement with Entertainment Tonight on Friday, Sonja finally spoke out, confirming some of the moments in RHONY Bethenny mentioned on the podcast, saying: However, when it came to the claims that she was almost fired until Bethenny came to her rescue, Sonja told the outlet that was BS!
