Ellen Degeneres NOT Distancing Herself From Bethenny Frankel [VIDEO] Says 'I Love You. I Am So Proud Of You' To Talk Show Host

Ellen Degeneres is not distancing herslef from Bethenny Frankel as gossip magazines and blogs have previously speculated. Today Bethenny Frankel had Ellen on her show to set teh record straight that teh two are not just great business partners, but good friends.

Ellen Degeneres went on 'Bethenny' via satellite and Frankel said "I was just telling my audience how much I love you and how amazing you've been to me. A lot of people like to make a lot of comments in the press about different relationships -- whether it's someone gives someone a show and it's just a business relationship -- and I try to explain to people that you and I are really friends. We actually go to dinner, I hang out with you and Portia. I've been to your house. I genuinely love you and look up to you and I call you when things are rough or when I need advice and that's just the nature of this relationship."

"It is," DeGeneres agreed. "I mean you have not invited me to your house but I've invited you to mine so that has happened but someday maybe, I don't know. " Bethenny came back with a dig at her ex saying he still lives with her so it could be awkward.

 "Let me say this -- because I only hear about this stuff I don't really pay attention to what's in the press -- but I did hear that there was a story that I was distancing myself from you and from the show and I wanted my name off of the show. I think people think, as Andy Cohen said on your show the other day, that there is always a tiny bit of truth to any rumor that you read . . . There is absolutely not one crumb of truth in that at all. I am not distancing myself from your show, I love you. I am so proud of you. I am proud to have my name on it and I think that you are amazing and we are friends."

"There is no one doing what you are doing on television right now. You really represent women and talk to women and give women advice in a way that nobody is doing and I love listening to your advice," Ellen added. "You can't really talk about what's going on in your life right now and I know that. I know what's really going on, and I know that's really hard for you to not share how difficult a time this is for you. That's weird because you do share everything with your audience but you are not allowed to talk about your divorce, so I'll just leave it at that."

Ellen DeGeneres was previously reported to be fed up with Bethenny Frankel. After Ellen constantly backed the 'Bethenny' show, Frankel has said that she blames Degeneres for her low ratings.

After Frankel kept complaining that Ellen was not helping her get A-list celebrities on her talk show 'Bethenny' so she had to rely on relationship and lifestyle formats for a whole hour,  Ellen Degeneres has decided to distance herself with Bethenny Frankel and was said to be completely fed up with her spoiled behavior.

Bethenny Frankel talk show ratings are not very good, especially when competing with a Queen... Queen Latifah that is. The Queen has had stars like Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on her show while hte best celebrity Bethenny has gotten on 'Bethenny' is Real Housewife NeNe Leakes. Eleen Degeneres no longer wants to be associated with the 'Bethenny' talk show's poor outcome. 

 'Bethenny' is falling way behind in talk show ratings as The Queen has scored 1/3 higher ratings than Bethheny and Latifah's high ratings could be the cause of the 'Bethenny' talk show demise. It doesn't help Bethenny that she can't get support from RHONY old castmates to help her with 'Bethenny' low ratings. 'Bethenny' has a high chance of being cancelled after the queen continues killing her in the talk show ratings race.

Bethenny Frankel ratings could possibly get better with the help of RHONY alum, but she gets snubbed by her Real Housewives of New York alum cast mates to be guests on her talk show 'Bethenny' just when Frankel needs their help the most in her fight with Queen Latifah's ratings.

After constant low ratings and the possibility of being cancelled, Bethenny Frankel has resorted to begging Jill Zarin and Alex McCord to be guests on her show but the RHONY ladies have refused her invitation. A Real Housewives of New York reunion was in talks for 'Bethenny' but now the RHONY special will most likely not take place after Alex and Jill have snubbed their old reality show cast mate. But did they really snub her? According to Alex McCord 'Bethenny' offered a paycheck that was 'laughable' and 'below union standards.' Why would Bethenny be so cheap?

Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin were once best friends but after Bethenny told the other Real Housewives Of New York not to film with her, which was most likely the reason Zarin was fired from the Housewives, and Zarin being jealous of the SkinnyGirl mogul for getting Bravo spinoff shows, their friendship has deceased and not amicably. Jill constantly tells interviewers her disdain for Bethenny. SO it is unclear why Jill refused teh RHONY reunion.

A Bethenny Frankel insider reveals about the need to get the Housewives on her show, "Bethenny is feeling pressure from network executives because ratings from her talk show have been less than stellar. Both ladies turned down the invitation to appear on the talk show. She didn't want to invite Jill and Alex to come on, but she really needs a ratings boost, and thought having them come on would generate a ton of publicity. Bethenny was stunned that they both said no, she really thought they would agree to come on the show. Bethenny's bosses suggested she call Jill and Alex personally, but she absolutely refused."
