'RHONY's Bethenny Frankel Dishes On Kanye West's Social Media Rants

Bethenny Frankel is giving her two cents on the Kanye West - Kim Kardashian saga.
As you might know, the rapper has been causing quite the ruckus on social media, publicly ranting about his soon-to-be ex-wife and her relationship with comedian Pete Davidson.
Ye has shared several seemingly harassing posts targeted at Kim, Davidson, Kid Cudi, Billie Eilish, and many more and then deletes them. Amid the fiasco, Frankel, who went through a very public divorce with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy, has a word of advice for Ye.
Bethenny Frankel Advises Kanye West Not To Go Rouge
On Tuesday's episode of her weekly podcast "Just B with Bethenny Frankel," the reality star shared her thoughts on Kanye's public outbursts, urging the Yeezy founder to "stay the course." "The Real Housewives of New York" alum warned:
My advice to Kanye would be: You have to stay the course. You cannot go rogue and take matters into your own hands when it comes to the divorce and custody process. It will only hurt you.
She explained that Kanye's slew of rants on Instagram appealed to the court of public opinion rather than the actual court that can help with the custody of the kids. She noted that things would only worsen for Kanye if he kept dragging his divorce matters to social media.
The 51-year-old noted that Ye couldn't continue to "play to the court of public opinion" while avoiding the court of law.
"Custody & Divorce is a process (albeit a sometimes long and arduous one)….you cannot beat the system. You cannot PR your way out of it and judges do not like side shows & games," Frankel expatiated.
Frankel, who is still knee-deep in a custody battle over her daughter, likened divorce to a "terrible storm or personal loss" one must face head-on, especially when children are involved as the stakes become way higher.
Lending compassion to Kanye and Kim's broken marriage, the television personality said, "Kim and Kanye were married for several years. He really adored her. They had this beautiful family and this great life and things then unraveled."
She concluded her podcast, warning Kanye to reel his outburst in or risk losing his four kids. She also asked that someone close to the rapper intervene as "it's a serious matter from an emotional and custody standpoint."
The Yeezy Founder Admits To Harassing Kim
After weeks of attacking his ex-wife and sharing screenshots of their private texts messages, Ye seemingly did a u-turn and admitted that his recent gestures reeked of harassment towards Kim.
True to Ye fashion, the renowned rapper first erased all posts from his Instagram page before sharing his apology in a fresh post. Alongside a photo of him standing on stage with smoke around him, Ye wrote:
I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener.
The "Donda" rapper also addressed his use of caps while typing, acknowledging that it gave people the impression he was screaming. Again, he apologized, saying he was working on his communication skills and asking for help from "a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers, and community leaders."
The 'RHONY' Alum On Pete Davidson's Bedroom Prowess
This isn't the first time Frankel has shared her thoughts on trending topics on the internet. For example, when news of Kim and Davidson's relationship broke in October, rumors surfaced that the SNL comedian was known for being phenomenal in the bedroom.
As The Blast reported, the "Bethenny Ever After" star took to Twitter to comment on the fetish surrounding Davidson's D game.

She wrote, "years later, I still maintain that Pete Davidson shoots diamonds out of his penis….he needs a deal with @ZalesJewelers (and yes he is talented, charming, smart & cute) but his game is tight."
Back in 2019, Frankel was one of the first people to share the theory about Davidson's sexual appeal after his engagement to Ariana Grande ended. At the time, the comedian was linked to several A-lister women in the industry, including Kate Beckinsale.
Reacting to the news, the Bravo star wrote, "So Pete Davidson was engaged to the sexy & talented @ArianaGrande and is now dating the beyond stunning @KateBeckinsale? So I guess it's clear that he shoots diamonds out of his penis?"
