Bethenny Frankel calls for reality star union and receives support from SAG-AFTRA (Marketing Expert Reacts)

Bethenny Frankel has been speaking out against the treatment of reality stars recently and says she was inspired by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. While there was some initial pushback, it seems that she is gaining momentum. SAG-AFTRA publicly expressed support to Bethenny and reality stars fight to unionize against networks like Netflix, NBC Bravo and more. I recently talked about the treatment and exploitation of reality stars on an episode of #ShareYourScreen with Nicky Reardon. You can watch the slideshow, deep dive here. You can also listen to Share Your Screen wherever you find your favorite podcasts. Momentum has been growing for reality stars and their fight for better treatment during and after filming. This comes after former 'Love is Blind' star, Nick Thompson, filed a lawsuit against Netflix last year and launched U.C.A.N. (Unscripted Cast Advocacy Network). There seem to be many parallels with how reality stars are treated across multiple networks - hinting at an institutional problem that needs change.
