Bethenny Frankel is getting slammed for posting a bikini pic of her 13-year-old daughter. The Real Housewives of New York alum keeps collecting haters after recently exposing the alleged mistreatment of Bravo stars.
Bethenny and her ex-husband Jason Hoppy welcomed Bryn in May 2010, two months after they wed. Though Bethenny filed for divorce in 2013, it took eight years to finalize.
“Two jerks in TURKS. After a hardworking year, mixed with some medical issues, this trip was an impulse decision and I think we made a good choice…” wrote Bethenny in the caption of an Instagram post showing a series of photos of the mother and daughter on the beach at Turks and Caicos.
Fans immediately slammed Bethenny for sharing images of her daughter in a bikini.
“Swimsuit shots of your daughter are so Inappropriate and exploitive [sic],” wrote one fan in the comments.
“Please keep your beautiful daughter out of social media too young,” a different user added.
“Love you but the internet is an awful place you outta remove Bryn’s bikini pic, although I fear it’s already too late,” another added.
“Not sure the picture of your young daughter is a great idea considering some of the people on social media 🤔,” wrote a fourth fan.
“Wonder what her dad thinks of bethenny posting pics like this on sm..” said another critic, referencing Bethenny’s ex Jason.
“Too young. . Shouldn’t have post this pic of her daughter. She’s beautiful and well…. there’s too many creeps out there,” said a sixth user.
“She’s only 13 might want to put some clothes on or on social media.!” another added.
“You should know better. There’s a bunch of whack goes [sic] out there and you’re just giving them lunch,” wrote a separate user. “I do wonder why you want her to grow up so fast.”
Despite the critics, several fans defended the star.
“STOP THE MEAN COMMENTS. Bethenny is obviously a wonderful mother who wants to share and have memories of all the amazing experiences her and her daughter have,” said the fan. “Including sitting in their house cuddling their dogs, cooking together. What she wears is totally appropriate.”
“Some of these comments though 😮 people have a lot of nerve while sitting behind a screen,” wrote another user.
“To me, these pics look like a mother and daughter bonding during a trip for the holidays. Bikinis aren’t allowed? Husbands have to be there?” asked a third fan.
“Some of these comments – Jesus Christ the pearl clutching,” said a fourth.
“Bryn isn’t 8 years old. She’s a teenager. Bethenny knows what’s best for her child. I can’t believe I’m commenting on a strangers IG, but here we are,” wrote another. “People always throwing hate. Why?! They are a dynamic mother/daughter duo.”
