Bethenny said in a statement: “Aside from motherhood, what truly defines me as a person is being a driven, passionate and hard-working woman determined to make the impossible possible.

MGM Television and Mark Burnett will produce the new series.

She went on: “I am an executor of visions, and I share and impart that information to those who work with me.

“MGM has been neck-in-neck with me with ideas and their execution. I couldn’t be more thrilled to continue my longstanding relationship with Mark Burnett on this series and pay this American Dream story forward.”

She said of leaving RHONY: “I like to leave when something for me is at its peak..”[/caption]

The 49-year-old’s new show follows her leaving Real Housewives of New York City last season.

She said during the Yahoo Finance’s Market Summit: “Leaving the Housewives was because I think that I just didn’t want to be at the party where my eyelashes were falling off at two o’clock in the morning.”

“Not literally on the show, which that would happen also, but the metaphorical eyelash-hanging-off party.”

She continued: “I like to leave when something for me is at its peak and I was talking to Bravo about many different things and I just decided let’s roll, it’s time to go.”
