Bethenny Frankel says she could ‘do the job’ of New York mayor

Bethenny Frankel rules out a future in politics after her new reality show is compared to Donald Trump’s The Apprentice – but admits she could ‘do the job’ of being New York mayor

Former Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel has ruled out a future in politics. 

The Skinnygirl mogul was questioned about a potential political career during an appearance on The Morning Show.

Host Larry Emdur compared her new business competition show, The Big Shot With Bethenny, to Donald Trump‘s The Apprentice, and questioned if she could see her self following in his footsteps.

‘I don’t like playing by rules’: Bethenny Frankel told Channel Seven’s The Morning Show that she won’t be running for office 

‘I really don’t think that I would be good at politics. I’m very rogue, I don’t like playing by rules,’ the BStrong founder said.

‘Often when we’re having to deal with governments and beurocracy, we can’t get anything done in the relief world.’

She added: ‘I don’t like the blame game and politics seems like it’s a lot of the blame game.

 ‘And this is not a joke, I’m really in pyjamas 95 percent of my life, and I don’t think that would work in the political landscape.’

Despite not having plans for politics, the 50-year-old admitted that she could do the job of New York City mayor if she wanted to.

‘I had an ex that told me, “you should run for major of New York because the subways would never be running more smoothly.” I could do the job, but I don’t know if it would be good for me,’ she said.

'I'm showing that I'm imperfect': Bethenny also explained that the difference between her show and Trump's The Apprentice is that she's not trying to come off as perfect on screen

‘I’m showing that I’m imperfect, my business isn’t perfect and we need this, so it’s a little more of a flawed character.’
