Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer, Carole Radziwill, Dorinda Medley and Tinsley Mortimer are considering taking legal action against Bravo after their Columbian cruise from hell. But RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal the network isn’t letting them get away with suing!

saw the anchor off before they could sail anywhere.”

The source added, “When they got out to sea, the engine caught fire. It was a huge blaze and the crew was fighting to put it out. They didn’t have a fire extinguisher nor did they speak English.”

While Frankel, 47, Singer, 61, and Medley, 53, were “soaked and screaming hysterically,” Radziwill, 54, and Mortimer, 42, were “throwing up” before a passing boat came to their rescue.

But the insider also told Radar that the experience wasn’t as traumatic as previously reported!

they are trying to build up drama!”

Bravo also downplayed the incident in a statement: “On the return trip to the mainland, the boat encountered turbulent water, which caused the anchor to deploy unexpectedly. At no time was the vessel in danger of sinking, nor was a rescue required. Thankfully, everyone is fine. The safety of our cast and crew is paramount and, to that end, we are still reviewing the situation.”
