Bethenny Frankel never got an apology from Kelly Bensimon who called her a "ho-bag" during a freakout in a recent episode of Real Housewives of New York, and she's not expecting one, either.

"Kelly doesn't recognize her behavior, so in her eyes, there would be nothing to apologize for," the supersvelte new mom to baby Bryn tells me. "Kelly doesn't need Bravo. She has her own reality show going on in her own mind."

As for former BFF Jill Zarin, who she's been feuding with all season, Bethenny says that chapter of her life is closed...

"Jill isn't in my life," she explains. "I really wish her the best of everything. I have released any angst or feelings about that situation. Marriage and motherhood put everything into perspective."

And it seems there's no room for a reconciliation later down the line, either. "I'm in a new place and I like it here," Bethenny says of her newlywedded baby bliss. "I don't want anything or anyone in it to change."

One person she's thrilled to have in her life is husband Jason Hoppy. "Marrying him was the best decision I ever made," she swears.

The new parents even got to enjoy their first night out last night, when they had dinner (and probably Skinnygirl margaritas) at Stanton Social. "It was really great and really necessary," Bethenny says of their date night.

Tonight is the season finale of Housewives, and it could be Bethenny's last appearance on the series.

"Right now, coming back wouldn't be the best choice for me," she says. "Bryn is so good and pure, and all that garbage feels so vile right now. I may want to walk out the door right now. I wouldn't put money on it yet, thought."

Whether she decides to stay on the show or not, we'll still be seeing Bethenny on Bravo. Her spinoff series Bethenny Getting Married? premieres June 10.
