Bethenny Frankel has returned to the US following a brief stint in Sydney – and apparently the promoters who brought her out here couldn't be happier about it.

According to sources, Frankel might have seemed personable, friendly and chatty in person, but behind the scenes she was reportedly anything but.

“She was a total nightmare,” one anonymous insider said,

“She was a diva, demanding and hard work.”

The Real Housewives Of New York City icon and business mogul also reportedly cancelled a number of press interviews ahead of her onstage Q&A session, which was hosted by Sally Obermeder.

The “Engage with Bethenny!” event saw the 53-year-old talk about success and memorable moments on Real Housewives of New York and The Apprentice.

However Frankel’s candid, charming and unpretentious Instagram would suggest she is chilled and fun.

Frankel’s Instagram got a workout as the reality TV star promoted and spruiked a number of Aussie brands and goods she had seemingly purchased herself.

MCoBeauty, Qantas, EZE Mart, Natio, Thursday Plantation, Crown Melbourne, July luggage, Kookai, Paspaley were just a few of the many brands Frankel took time out to promote on her social media page to her 3.3 million followers.
