Former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel is going viral after an awkward interaction with a reporter at a recent Formula 1 event in Miami.
Bethenny attended the May 4 event at Carbone alongside her new boyfriend, Shane L. Campbell, wearing a salmon-colored bodycon dress and heels.
In a TikTok video shared by Miami-based reporter Michael Refaelovitz, Michael approached Bethenny on the carpet and asked, “Who am I here with today?”
Bethenny quickly responded, “Oh! If you don’t know, then ask somebody,” before walking away hand-in-hand with Shane.
@michaelrefaelovitz Who’s gonna tell her that’s how you start an interview?! @Bethenny Frankel #bethennyfrankel #carbone #interview #americanexpress #f1
The clip quickly spread online, with social media users weighing in on Bethenny’s response.
“She is so rude,” one commenter wrote beneath the video.
Another joked, “Welcome to the Bethenny Frankel experience.”
Others criticized the former Bravo star’s reaction while also poking fun at her dramatic exit.
“Tripping after walking away is so poetic,” one viewer commented after fans noticed Bethenny appeared to briefly stumble while leaving the carpet.
Another commenter called Bethenny “A LEGEND IN HER OWN MIND.”
Bethenny Frankel Recently Hard-Launched New Romance
Days after the viral moment, Bethenny officially debuted her relationship with Shane on Instagram.
“If a launch … is hard this is a diamond,” Bethenny captioned the May 9 post featuring the couple together.
The relationship reveal came weeks after Page Six reported Bethenny had started dating Shane following her move to Florida last year.
At the time, a source told the outlet Bethenny was the “happiest she’s ever been” and fully embracing her “intentional dating era.”
Bethenny rose to fame on “The Real Housewives of New York City” and later starred in multiple Bravo spinoffs before leaving the network.
The Skinnygirl founder has remained active online in recent years, often going viral for her social media posts, beauty reviews, and unfiltered commentary.
This latest moment, however, may not have landed quite the way she intended.
