Frankel and her podcast guest NeNe leakes discussed their friendship with the host.

It's safe say that Bethenny Frankel doesn't like Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

The former Real Housewives of New York actress slammed Andy on Thursday's Just B with Bethenny Francel podcast. She claimed that the Bravo EP asked his guests "problematic questions" while she was "always shielded."

Bethenny said to her guest RHOA NeNe Leakes, "The last time that I went on the show, I was with a daughter." "We're used to the environment... he is always protected. He asks questions like 'Who is the ugliest housewife? You're like 'Oh, I'll think about it.' You're asking a question like "Who is the worst mother?"

She continued by giving more examples of "problematic" questions.

Bethenny continued, "We're always naked, f--king skinned, with Tabasco all over us." "... When we're out, we are thrown around like meat and ripped to pieces by the vehicle we kissed to get into. We all play this goddamn f----ing game, and we use him the same way he uses us to promote our s---. But it's all so disgusting."

In the meantime, Bethenny and NeNe didn't hold anything back during their two-part discussion on Bethenny’s podcast. They both have a bad relationship with Andy.

NeNe believes that Andy and she were never "good friends" in the past.

She told Bethenny, "I never went to his house. I always go to my good friends' houses or visit them at least once." "I'd say no, I don't feel that we were friends. I felt like we were more than just [colleagues] since I could call him. I have been out with him and out in the city, I've had drinks with him and I've party with him. I didn't know what the status was. "I thought we had a great relationship."

According to the Real Housewives of Atlanta actress, all Housewives "play a real game" with Andy.

NeNe agreed with Bethenny that all Housewives are "in the Game."

There's always the question, "Who texts you most?" Who is the person who texts you most often? "We're all playing the game," she said to NeNe before relating a personal story. "I remember going to his house one Christmas when I was not on the Housewives. There were so many famous people, and it made me feel special. Then, at the reunion, I sit next to him and I feel even more special. It reminds me of your relationship with your parents... we all wanted his approval and we all wanted to be the favorites. We all want to be able say "I've appeared on that show most." It's a bit like a calling-card."

She added, "There is a psychology at work with this group and show." "He was an executive and now he is a producer. This is a similar power position. ... It's tricky."

Bethenny felt that she and Andy were in a "hybrid" world, where they "didn't like each other."

She explained, "I thought that Andy and me were really friends because we texted back and forth. But we're not -- I went to his house for a party at Christmas 10 years ago." "Every time we get together, all we talk about is the Housewives. Am I getting fired, or am I getting on? Is this person being fired or is he coming on? "We're not real -- you know how your real friends behave."

She continued, "Now I'm in a hybrid world where I feel like, 'We're kind of not really liking each other but we're playing this game'." "Yet, when I'm doing well, he doesn't really congratulate me. I think he feels resentful because he believes I am beneath him because we both grew up around the same time. ... I think, "I don't believe he likes to me at all." I think that we both played this game for a while.

Skinnygirl's founder continued, "I decided to stop being afraid one day and speak my mind because the only thing I was protecting was him in that entire realm, and he hadn't been protecting myself."

NeNe said, "I feel about the same as you." She told Bethenny. I don't believe he liked me."
