Reality star Frankel has been working on her own daytime talk show -- she shot a pilot produced by Telepictures (the same company behind Ellen DeGeneres' show), but apparently no one is buying because Frankel comes off as too harsh.

A source tells The Post producers are hiring a coach to soften Frankel:

    "She came off as too aggressive ... They’d been shopping the syndicated show and going to meet with station owners ... They got a coach [to teach her to] speak more slowly and be nicer."


DeGeneres has been bringing Frankel onto her show to introduce her to American daytime audiences.
