Bethenny Frankel has slammed a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode for featuring Rachel Zoe discussing her divorce with her young sons on camera. The RHONY alum called the moment deeply uncomfortable and f***ed up. She highlighted the potential damage of reality TV on families.
Oh, honey, the drama from across the Housewives pond is spilling over! Bethenny Frankel, the queen of RHONY shade, is not holding back on this RHOBH mess. According to TMZ and Yo Gossip, Bethenny ripped into a scene where Rachel Zoe breaks the news of her divorce filing to her young sons—right in front of the cameras. "Deeply uncomfortable" and "f***ed up," she declared, and girl, we feel that. 😬
Bethenny, who famously kept her own kids off Real Housewives of New York, knows the game all too well. She believes producers were whispering in Rachel's ear to get that raw family moment on film. The scene, from the latest RHOBH episode, shows Rachel explaining to her boys that she didn't expect the July divorce filing from Rodger Berman to hit the media so soon. She even asks them how they feel about it all—on camera, no less! Bethenny didn't mince words: the moment "crystallizes the potential damage that reality television can do and the price that you pay and the selling of your soul to the devil that it was so jarring."
"The price of having to put your children on television and ask them about a divorce is so gargantuan and made me actually uncomfortable," Bethenny added. We've reached out to Rachel Zoe for comment, but crickets so far. Is this the wake-up call Housewives needs, or just more tea to brew? Spill your thoughts, darlings—because protecting those kiddos? Iconic move, Bethenny. 🔥
