Bethenny Frankel Talks In Code To Avoid Being Banned On TikTok

Bethenny Frankel has been buzzing about “DroneTok” lately, but things took a turn when the topic grew too controversial for TikTok’s liking and her videos were no longer showing up in many TikToker’s FYP.

To avoid her videos being taken down or facing a shadow ban, the former reality star cleverly started speaking in code. Now, she’s using a playful disguise for her drone discussions, and her followers are loving the creative workaround as they tune in to her coded messages on the trending topic!

As The Blast previously reported, Frankel is all about sharing information about the recently sighted drones over New Jersey and other states. She’s shared multiple TikTok videos on the topic, sharing details she’s learned from other people, as well as her own sightings, but recently began speaking in code to avoid her videos being banned on the app.

In a video shared a few days ago, she decided she would start calling the drones something else so she can continue sharing all she’s learned about the mysterious UFO-like drones without worrying about a ban.

“So the ‘Dior bags’ are real. They are our Dior bags. And I have cross referenced this now with people that have worked in organizations that we have heard of, who know about other organizations we have never even heard of, and operations to make these Dior bags,” she said. “And the one thing that the multiple people keep saying is that truth is stranger than fiction, and fiction has become reality, and that there are many things going on at once, at the same time.”

Frankel continued her video in code to explain that this “is not a drill.”

“Some of these Dior bags very much appear to be bags that search out things that aren’t great, and that there is definitely a scramble,” she continued. “And I have spoken to people and gotten some messages through from all over, and there are Dior bags everywhere.”

She then explained that she “can’t even talk about it” on social media, and that’s “crazier” to her.

“All the things that I’ve been saying are leading up to the craziness of the fact that many of you may not see this,” she said. “Let’s see.”

She also explained that “it’s become clear” to her that “people do not want me discussing the Dior bags, and yes, to be careful.”

It seems that speaking in code worked for Frankel, because just a day after posting the “Dior bags” video, it went viral with more than 1.8 million views.

Many viewers caught on quickly with the code talk, and many had jokes to share.

“Are we speaking in code?” one person asked. Another shared, “I was lost for a minute – all good now I have my tin foil Hermes on now!”

Many others shared that they are also seeing “Dior bags” where they live.

“I’ve been seeing Dior bags from my Brooklyn rooftop since July and everyone thought I was nuts. It’s not all Gucci out there,” one viewer shared. Another said, “Yes!! Now, the Dior bags are here in Cali, too,” and another added, “London, UK here. We’re seeing Dior bags here too.”

One person pointed out, “It’s crazy you disappeared from my feed with all the other Dior bag content until THIS video. I’ve seen the original Bags since a year ago in Florida but I haven’t seen the Diors yet.”

A video shared shortly after the original “Dior bags” video explained a little about why people don’t want to talk about the hot topic.

“The reason many people don’t want to talk about the large Dior bags, I believe, is because it’s too much to comprehend and to deal with,” Frankel shared. “Sometimes when something is so overwhelming and so out of the realm of possibility, we shut down and we wanna talk about candy canes or gingerbread and I just think it’s so not of this earth. It just feels like it’s like a warped sense of reality.”

She said that we are also in a “transfer of power moment” and that could also be a “big theory” in all of this, being a “massive disruption.”

One viewer shared, “Most people can’t afford Dior bags, so they just feel like it doesn’t affect their everyday life. So they’re just not really paying attention to the show.” Another viewer said, “Everyone needs to see the large Dior bags in person to feel the weight of it.”

A follow up video talks a little about the “Dior Bags’ Accessories.”

“So many of you are seeing giant Dior bags in the closet and asking about the accessories,” she began her video. “The Prada and Oscar de la Renta, glowy accessories.”

Frankel said the “accessories” do “glow,” and “can occur naturally in the atmosphere or as a reaction.”

“They are sensitive. They’re like a more sensitive and reactive leather. They can also be created in a lab,” she continued. “But there can be a lot of confusion with these. They can be confused with one another, the Prada and the Oscar de la Renta. But also, when you’re looking with your camera and with your zoom, the reflection, there can be a lot of optical illusions that come with these.”

One viewer said, “This is working for me bc I’m getting your posts immediately now,” talking about speaking in code. Another person shared, “Bethenny, the fact that this is how you need to speak about this is WILD, BUT IT DID SHOW UP on FYP.”
