As far as Bethenny Frankel is concerned, she can do whatever she wants with her body, especially when it comes to cosmetic procedures.
The "Real Housewives of New York City" alum recently addressed the hate about her enhanced looks. She slammed critics for judging her appearance, claiming they were spiteful because she looked better with age — and Botox.
Bethenny Frankel is no stranger to criticism and faced backlash earlier this year for being "tone deaf." Many slammed her for flaunting her wealth on Instagram and commenting about the diversity in the Hamptons.
Bethenny Frankel Credits Botox For 'Enhanced Beauty With Age'
The media personality did not mince her words when calling out trolls in Tuesday's episode of her "Just B" podcast. She alleged these critics were mad because her facial features differed from how she looked 20 years ago, saying:
"My jaw was much bigger, but, like, people commenting on someone else's physical appearance, it's like being mad that I look better. Like, I literally look better, and they're annoyed, and you can tell."
"And again, that's a hater, and I like that," Frankel continued, noting these people were "jealous" and "bitter" because her features had been enhanced by Botox. She advised trolls to get used to her cosmetic treatments, noting:
"It's annoying you that I look good. 'Where's the old Bethenny?' It doesn't f–-ing matter 'cause this is the new Bethenny, b----. Like, you're so annoyed, and I love it 'cause the more you get annoyed, the more I know it's working."

The former Bravolebrity asserted that she would only get better with age and cosmetic treatments, telling haters: "The more you get annoyed, the better I know I look. I'm bothering you. Keep it coming."
Frankel noted that people criticized others for using methods like Ozempic or cosmetic treatments to attain their desired figures out of hate. "I think people are mad that other people are allowed to now look good. They don't like it," she alleged.
The media personality stressed that these critics won't stop her from undergoing beauty procedures, declaring: "I'll do what I want. I'll wear what I want. I'll get done what I want. None of your f—-ing business. I'll look how I want."

After addressing the criticism about her enhanced looks, Frankel slammed haters for poking fun at her L'Oréal Paris fashion show appearance. She graced the event's runway last month, but some found her catwalk subpar.
"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," Frankel fired back.
She claimed her "giraffe walk" scored her another invite from L'Oréal to "something in LA." On that note, Frankel gloated to her catwalk critics, saying, "I don't see them inviting you."

Frankel came under fire in July when she shared a controversial post about the diversity in the Hamptons. The Blast reported that she shared a TikTok video, saying:
"Hamptons is an amazing place. There's all kinds of people here, it's not only rich people. There is a big Latin community. There is an African American community here on the beach."
"Beautiful houses. I had a house there one summer," Frankel recalled. However, her words sparked heated reactions from the public, including Ana Navarro from "The View." The TV personality slammed her comment, noting:
"News flash: White people are not the only ones capable of having money. There are rich Black people and rich 'Latins.'"
Another critic echoed similar sentiments, writing: "I guess us Asians and South Asians don't get to be Hamptons rich. Meanwhile, we are the highest earners in the country, but what do I know?"

Two weeks before the Hamptons incident, Frankel got bashed on Instagram for flaunting her wealth. She shared pictures of herself rocking a strapless blue dress and posing next to a new blue Ford Bronco.
"When you buy a car to match your outfit…" she captioned the post. Her words did not sit well with fans, with an IG user commenting: "People can't even afford groceries right now, and you're posting this?"
"So tone deaf. Do you really need to show off that you're in the Hamptons and got a new car?" another wondered. A third accused Frankel of acting like the Kardashian/Jenner family, whom she previously criticized for their lifestyle.
Despite the criticism, Bethenny Frankel continues to live her best life. What will she catch heat for next?
