Reality TV star Bethenny Frankel is stirring up controversy with her recent comments about the Hamptons. While claiming that the area is not just filled with rich people but also minorities, she sparked a heated debate on social media.
On TikTok, Frankel stated, “There are all kinds of people here. There’s a big Latin community here, big. There is an African American community here on the beach. Beautiful houses.” The clip quickly went viral, catching the attention of “The View” co-host Ana Navarro, who called out Frankel for her racially charged remarks.
Navarro tweeted, “News flash: White people are not the only ones capable of having money. There are rich Black people and rich ‘Latins.’” Other users echoed Navarro’s sentiments, criticizing Frankel for her divisive comments.
Despite the backlash, Frankel has yet to respond to the situation. This isn’t the first time her TikTok videos have landed her in hot water. In the past, she faced backlash for gifting a store cashier a $70 makeup palette because she believed the employee couldn’t afford it, drawing criticism for being “tone deaf.”
Even Frankel’s former friend Carole Radziwill weighed in on the controversy, accusing Frankel of having a “white savior complex.” The drama continues to unfold as fans and critics alike express their opinions on Frankel’s actions. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding story.
