Bethenny Frankel: Haters are ‘mad’ I ‘look better’ now than 20 years ago thanks to Botox
Bethenny Frankel welcomes her online haters because she knows she looks “better” now thanks to cosmetic treatments.
“Someone on social media commented on my physical appearance — literally it was 20 years ago, and comparing it now,” the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, 53, recalled in Tuesday’s episode of her “Just B” podcast.
Frankel said the trolls were upset that her jaw looked “completely different” at the time because she had not yet discovered Botox.
“My jaw was much bigger, but, like, people commenting on someone else’s physical appearance, it’s like, being mad that I look better,” she boasted. “Like, I literally look better, and they’re annoyed, and you can tell. And again, that’s a hater, and I like that.”
Frankel chalked up the nasty comments she receives on social media to people being “jealous” and “bitter” over how her beauty has only enhanced with age — and help.
“It’s annoying you that I look good. ‘Where’s the old Bethenny?’ It doesn’t f–king matter ’cause this is the new Bethenny, bitch,” she fired back. “Like, you’re so annoyed, and I love it ’cause the more you get annoyed, the more I know it’s working.”
She added, “The more you get annoyed, the better I know I look. I’m bothering you. Keep it coming.”
Frankel claimed the general public gets annoyed whenever people take advantage of ways to improve on their looks — especially when it comes to weight loss through Ozempic.
“People want people to stay. They get mad. ‘Ozempic, you’re doing Ozempic. I gotta catch you. I gotta be mad at you. But it’s just ’cause you’re lying,'” she said, referring to what netizens often say about people who use the diabetes drug to slim down.
“And I understand the lying part, and I understand the leading people to believe that it’s about eating healthy and working out ’cause then it’s not presenting an accurate message,” she continued. “But I think it goes deeper. I think people are mad that other people are allowed to now look good. They don’t like it.”
The Skinnygirl founder said she can do whatever she wants when it comes to cosmetic procedures.
“I’ll do what I want. I’ll wear what I want. I’ll get done what I want,” she said. “None of your f–king business. I’ll look how I want.”
Frankel then recalled how so many people made fun of her catwalk after she appeared in the L’Oréal Paris fashion show last month.
“People were so mad. ‘Bethenny’s not a supermodel. Why did she walk like that?’ Why did I walk like that? Because I f–king wanted to. ‘Cause it was iconic. ‘Cause you’re talking about it. ‘Cause it landed. ‘Cause I win,” she gloated.
Frankel shared that after doing the “giraffe walk,” L’Oréal invited her to “something in LA.”
“I don’t see them inviting you,” she fiercely told her listeners.
Frankel then joked that maybe she should address loving her haters in therapy.
“Maybe I have problems,” she acknowledged, “but if I’ve got issues, that’s OK.”
