Former \u201cReal Housewives of Recent York City<\/strong>\u201d star Bethenny Frankel<\/strong> is being dragged by \u201cReal Housewives of Recent Jersey\u201d alum Dina Manzo and her daughter, Lexi Ioannou. Their beef originated after Frankel reportedly didn’t support Ioannou\u2019s clothing business after she was seen wearing gifted products. Now, in a brand new video, Frankel is responding to Manzo and her daughter, saying she will be able to do whatever she wants. <\/p>\n

On Friday, May 15, Frankel posted a video of herself showing off her outfit. She called it a \u201cFit Check.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThis dress is insane, and the value is ridiculous,\u201d she said on her Instagram Stories, in keeping with Us Weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

In one other post, Frankel responded to a follower who asked the outspoken reality star where they may purchase the shoes she was wearing. <\/p>\n

Frankel then reportedly shared a link to the same item sold by Bloomingdale\u2019s for $375, telling her followers that it was \u201cthe identical look.\u201d <\/p>\n

Manzo took umbrage on the post, claiming that her daughter, Ioannou, had actually gifted Frankel the shoes she was wearing and criticizing her for linking to a competitor relatively than the unique source: Ioannou\u2019s fashion brand, Nou.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, Bethenny, Wow!! So odd of you to post a dupe of your GIFTED @shopnou shoes as a substitute of giving a young woman entrepreneur credit,\u201d she wrote on a post. \u201cYou wear them often so we all know you want them??\u201d<\/p>\n

Manzo\u2019s Daughter Slammed Bethenny Frankel In A Post, Calling The \u2018Real Housewives\u2019 Icon A \u2018Weirdo\u2019<\/h2>\n

Manzo\u2019s daughter, Ioannou, also chimed in on the conversation, expressing her frustration with the situation because Frankel had encouraged her.<\/p>\n

\u201cBethenny Frankel is a weirdo,\u201d she said. \u201cI sent her a pair of shoes from Nou almost a 12 months ago because I look as much as her. [She is a] female entrepreneur [and from the] Bravo universe like me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Ioannou said that Frankel didn’t link her business and as a substitute allegedly linked a product on which she earns a commission. <\/p>\n

\u201cI suppose she\u2019s got to get that bag in some kind of way? So, she got the shoes free of charge from a woman-founded brand, mine, after which she made money sending her followers some place else,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Manzo commented on the video, telling her daughter how \u201cproud\u201d she was of her for standing up for herself. <\/p>\n

Last night, Frankel shared an in-depth \u201cOOTD\u201d video<\/a> on Instagram, revealing the brands behind each bit of her outfit, including Ioannou\u2019s fashion brand, Nou. She captioned the clip, \u201cFYI, I all the time give credit where credit is due.\u201d <\/p>\n

Just hours ago, Frankel appeared to address the drama on TikTok, saying she wouldn\u2019t normally reply to the claims, but believed there was a \u201cbusiness lesson\u201d for some to learn amid the chaos. <\/p>\n

Frankel explained that she all the time planned to credit the designer in her fit check, as seen within the video linked above; nevertheless, her team didn\u2019t plan on posting it until later. <\/p>\n

She went on to say that she couldn\u2019t link to the unique pair of shoes in her first post because they were sold out. \u201cThe audience gets frustrated once they can\u2019t buy something immediately,\u201d she said. \u201cWhy would I wear it and discuss it in the event that they can\u2019t buy it?\u201d <\/p>\n

Frankel Shares Clear Message: \u2018My Body, My Selection\u2019<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Continuing, Frankel said she often receives gifts from brands. Even then, she said she wasn\u2019t obligated to post about it. <\/p>\n

Although Frankel didn\u2019t mention Ioannou by name, she referenced her \u201cscathing video\u201d and implied that she would regret her decision to blast her. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are about 100 brands that may watch this video that may message her to inform her how much product I move,\u201d she said. \u201cI move loads of product, because I don\u2019t bullsh-t.\u201d <\/p>\n

She added, \u201cPlaying the short game, and whining and being a crybaby about something that didn\u2019t go your way in business, means you\u2019re not an actual business person, and you’ve lots to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frankel finished by saying she would\u2019ve worn \u201call the shoes in your site and you’ll\u2019ve sold hundreds of pairs and made tons of of hundreds of dollars. So, my account, my body, my selection. When you send those shoes into my house, my shoes. You\u2019re welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frankel has received a heated response to her video online. In her TikTok comments, one user said her video was a \u201chorrible\u201d look. <\/p>\n

One other user encouraged Frankel, who founded the culinary brand Skinnygirl, to reflect on her early days as a businesswoman. \u201cRemember, someone helped you along the way in which,\u201d they wrote. <\/p>\n

A 3rd said, \u201cGirl, just apologize. Yes, you’ll be able to do whatever you wish, but do the fitting thing,\u201d while a fourth asked, \u201cBut why tag a dupe? Just say it is a shoe, and so they are currently out of stock attributable to popularity! Persons are able to find similar shoes; no must take a dupe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
