"Bethenny is ready to take over television, and become the next Ellen DeGeneres," an insider told Radar.

"So before filming began for the Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny demanded a huge pay increase. She had initially asked for $2 million," said the source, "which would have been double her salary from last season."

"Bravo balked, but both sides agreed to pay her $1.5 million, for essentially three months of work."

"She is a savvy businesswoman and was prepared to walk away from the series once again," the source claimed.

Meanwhile, the insider said the pay raise has made other cast members "furious!"

The source added, "Bethenny was once again ready to take a hike, and Bravo rewards her! It's absolutely ridiculous."
