Bethenny Frankel got a lot of flack earlier this week for posting a photo of herself wearing what she claimed were her four year-old’s pajamas. She also got a ton of publicity. So, like the master troller that she is, Bethenny complained about the criticism she received for bragging that she could fit into her daughter’s clothes. She also claimed that her daughter asked her to wear the clothes. (And I suppose her daughter begged her to post it to Instagram too.)
Then Bethenny posted this tweet dismissing all the criticism as unfounded:
My daughter still has some shirts from when she was 2. I hope she isn't sending the wrong message to toddlers.

Yes, it’s totally the same for a child to wear clothes from two years ago and a 43 year-old reality star to wear a preschooler’s clothes.
Never one to let a controversy die, Bethenny posted another photo yesterday (above) in which she’s wearing oversize men’s clothes. These are presumably from her sketchy boyfriend, Michael Cerussi, 34.
Of course this is ridiculous and thirsty, but instead of stating the obvious I’ll just quote some of the better comments from Instagram.
“What exactly are you trying to prove? Just relax and be an adult.” – tenille_4
“A bit childish to react in such a manner. It shows you care what others think… You shouldn’t! Be you And screw the haters!” – mofromalaska
MofromAlaska is right, it is childish, but the thing is that Bethenny is being herself. This is the crap she regularly pulls to get publicity. It’s working too, if only because it’s the dead of July.

Crazy in the coconut. Insane in the brain. Is there anything else to actually say?!
She may not have lost all her marbles, but there’s definitely a hole in the bag.
Good one!
Cuckoo for cocoa puffs!!!!!!
Oh, this is a good game!
A spanner short of a toolbox?
A sandwich short of a picnic?
Two cards shy of a deck?
A couple of fries short of a Happy Meal?
A few Skinny Girls short of a six pack?
The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but no train is coming?
A few fries short of a Happy Meal?
Fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down?
Forgot to pay her brain bill?
This is fun!
Someone needs to locate this Thirsty (and Probably hungry) bird some Gatorade..preferrably an iv..im sure she could use the electrolytes!
The sad part is that someone actually had to stand on the other end of that cellphone to construct this visual masterpiece. I just hope that person is getting paid well…or at least gets to take home a few cases of Skinny Girl products for their trouble.
And with regard to her look, she looks like she could suddenly emerge from the “snow” on a TV screen a la The Ring. In a word: frightening.
Sorry, GoodNames, I didn’t see your “fries” analogy!
lights are on but nobody’s home
all her dogs aren’t barking
couple bricks short of a load
I didn’t know the stupid tree one! I’m going to use that ALL THE TIME!
A biscuit short of a barrel (cookie, whatever)?
The lights are on and the curtains are drawn but nobody’s home?
Lol.
The cheese slid off the cracker?
Too much chlorine in the gene pool?
The wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead? (Sorry)
For all my fellow Aussie’s…
She’s got a few kangaroo’s loose in the top paddock
red_jane for the win!
Love that one!!
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
My old boss used to use that one all the time.
She’s got the few cards. It’s the deck she’s missing.
She’s depriving some village of its idiot.
The elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.
Her cornbread ain’t done.
Plus, why does she feel the need to put anything about her daughter in the social media? Thank God that adorable little girl looks like her daddy!
a serial puzzle, bethenny?
if i have to guess… you’re a cosplayer!!
Is she stupid or what? Can’t she be an adult, drop the subject and move on???
All this just to stay relevant.
I really believe that social networks have made some people crazier in terms of wanting to be the latest news in any possible way.
She really can’t. I used to watch the housewives shows she was on … I felt bad for her at first, then quickly realized all of her problems are problem’s she’s created.
Exactly. She is her own worst enemy.
She seems to be an awful person so we shouldn’t be surprised that she doesn’t get why people reacted how they did. Doesn’t she have anything better to do?
She reminds me a bit of James Franco actually.
Both are chasing reactions.
Except James Franco has a bit of acting talent. Bethany has nothing but a big mouth and a bad attitude. I loathe her. Loathe. I wish she would hide under a rock.
Anytime I see someone who has had business & financial success act like this (*Donald Trump*) I think what they really need is therapy. She obviously needs the attention – but what’s the end game? Unlike an actor or performer, who has to stay relevant to maintain income – she’s done very well fiscally. There is absolutely no reason for her to still be in the public eye other than she wants to be.
What a great point…way to break it down
Totally.
Yup. She feeds on her own publicity. Without it, her ego would starve, just as she starves her body. Skinnygirl body, lollapalooza fatass ego.
This woman is a complete jacka – -.
This.
She should campaign to her bff Andy Cohen to get back on the Real Housewives of New York since she seems quite desperate for attention.
That may very well be in the works. Though there were rumors she’s angling for a late-night talk show on Bravo ala Kathy Griffin.
Kathy Griffin is funny and interesting, what does this twit have to offer? Hello Kitty pajamas and a lo-carb cocktail? No thanks.
@Bob, remember the days when this alien being use to fart and sooooo many people thought it smelled like roses? LOL I’m surprised it took people so long to figure her nonsense out! It’s still a bit surprising she has any fans left. When that thought enters my mind I have to remind myself that even Lucifer has some…
“\__(⊙⊙)__/”
Didn’t she make millions of dollars off her skinnyshiz? If so, why doesn’t she go live a nice life and quit this tacky publicity trolling…..
There is no life without attention for these types. I just wonder if she doesn’t have anything better to do than play dress up.
Your towels need to be evened up, Bethenny. That looks tacky.
I noticed that, too…..and as OCD as she is, I was really surprised they weren’t. 🙂
She’s loving all of this.
And I still am not totally sure who she is or why she’s known. Should I keep it that way?
Where do you live and how lax are the Visa laws there????
LOL
Run Anastasia Run! With this one best keep the unknown unknown.
don’t waste your time finding out
I thought I read, right after things got heated with the photo, that she said she was doing it because she thought her daughter would get a kick out of it. Now her daughter asked her to? I mean I don’t care either way. She’s a naturally small and clearly underfed woman who has made her money off other underfed women.
It really is your ass or your face isn’t it? Does Womans World have an article to gain 30 pounds in three weeks? I so want it NOW!!!!!!
Don’t tell me, her boyfriend asked to do it. She wanted to make him laugh.
She’s such a try-hard.
If the latest bit about her daughter and 2 year old shirts…. really? That’s the sort of thing you come up with on the spot in a defensive verbal tit for tat argument. I suppose that’s the danger or the point of Twitter, it can be the social media version of getting your unthought through blurts out there.
RHONY needs to bring back the original cast next season — none of them are doing anything now. It would be perrrrrfect!
go away.
Wow, she really showed us.
Nothing more pathetic than a fading celebrity desperate for attention.
i think everyone is overreacting…i really can’t be bothered. i’ve read all the posts and comments, and i still don’t understand the issue but everyone is a social media warrior these days. people are indignant over the most ridiculous things now. it really takes the attention away from bigger offenses.
The dog’s expression is one of sad bewilder and her expression is says “this Sunday a new episode of Snapped…she may be the creator of skinny girl but her actions have many saying scary girl tune in for an all new episode”
Is anyone else finding her rather terrifying to look at? She looks like that creature in that horror film Ethan Hawke did…Sinister? The creature looked like a black and white twisted clown. Awful.That dog is scared.
I do find her terrifying to look at and I also find her personality really terrifying as well.
What if she’s trying to get a reaction like “who’s clothes am I wearing now”?
And if she’s aiming for publicity, don’t count on me, I would never watch any show she’d be on or buy any product she would develop or endorse.
This woman is disgusting to me.
Me too, she’s repulsive in many ways.
I love that the daughter is spitting image of the father!!
I love Jason. He and his parents seem like good people. Exactly the opposite of old clown face.
It screams DESPERATION!!!!!!!!!!!
