Bethenny Frankel recently completed another trip around the sun, and she could not be happier!
It was a family and friends affair for the Bravo star as she marked her 52nd birthday on Friday, November 4, with her partner Paul Bernon, her 12-year-old daughter, Bryn, and her staff. She was beyond delighted to give fans a glimpse on Instagram of how the event went, using several pictures and videos displaying the lively moments the bunch had over the weekend.
Bethenny Frankel Celebrates 52nd Birthday With Staff And Loved Ones
The overjoyed celebrant shared a carousel of six detailed pictures, partly captioned, "A few snaps from my very casual pizza truck with my staff & loved ones," of her birthday this past weekend. She concluded her message by revealing how she commemorates every new age:
"Counting the memories… not the cupcakes or the years."
Alongside her concluding words were love, pizza, and cupcake emojis accompanied with several hashtags, including "#nofilter #happybirthday #mommyandme and #biggysmallz."
In the images, Frankel looked to be having the time of her life as some showed her with her fiancé and her daughter, while two videos rounded off the slides. The first snap featured the family of three posing on a balcony, with the celebrant kissing her man on the cheek while her daughter stood in front of them, beaming.
The ensuing image showed the TV personality sitting on a bench on a lawn with Bernon and their white dog. Her partner could be seen kissing her cheek while he placed one hand on the pup.
In the third slide, Frankel pecked her daughter's cheek as they sat on a lawn facing her birthday cake, and at the same time, the entrepreneur was captured in the next slide beaming and looking radiant with her sun-kissed skin.
The last two slides were videos: the former showed her loved ones presenting her with her birthday cake and wishing her a happy birthday, while the latter gave an up-close view of her eating pizza with glee.
For the event, the philanthropist opted for a casual look comprising blue jeans, a peach cable knit sweater, and a white vest underneath. She paired the outfit with dark shades and classy jewelry, including dangling earrings, bracelets, a ring, and a silver wristwatch.
Fans wasted no time wishing Frankel the best in her new year and flooded the comments section with love emojis and adoring remarks on the joy radiating among the celebrators.
As a social media influencer, the 52-year-old entrepreneur has quite the audience on several social media platforms, including TikTok, where she has nearly a million followers.
Even so, she filed a class action lawsuit against the site for "the alleged violation of her right to publicity and the unauthorized use of her image and likeness to promote and sell counterfeit products on the platform."
In a statement released after the filing, Frankel declared that she wanted to be "a voice for change in the space." Meanwhile, the legal action was prompted by another company's alleged theft and reposting of her TikTok video for marketing purposes.
The American businesswoman ultimately sought compensation for "the significant damages to her business and reputation, as well as broad changes to impose stricter regulations regarding TikTok's advertising."
The Skinnygirl Founder Speaks Up After Deleting Positive Review On Kim Kardashian's Product
Late last month, The Blast reported that Frankel surprised fans when she shared a rare good review of a Kardashian product which she later took down but gave an explanation on social media.
It is no news that she has been a relentless critic of the Kardashian-Jenner brands over the past few months, including slamming two products from Kim K's skincare line and Kylie Jenner's Birthday PR Box.
However, she acted differently when she posted a positive review of Kim's SKIMS sock line but deleted it not long after, telling fans about her intentions to stay away from any of the family's business.
The BStrong creator also mentioned, "an individual who I will not discuss because I've decided I'm cleansing them from any conversation that I have anywhere" owned five percent of the SKIMS business.
While she did not want to talk about the individual, she stated that taking the review down was nothing personal to her but was necessary as she made mistakes in promoting the wrong people by reviewing the socks.
