Bethenny Frankel Loses Her Cool In Airport Incident, Admits She Was Ready To Brawl

Bethenny Frankel told her followers that her travel day took a chaotic turn before she even boarded her flight.

"The Real Housewives of New York City" alum gave fans an unfiltered glimpse into her morning in a candid video shared to X, cheekily titled Airport Drama.

In the clip, Bethenny Frankel vented her frustrations about the less-than-glamorous side of air travel, from pushy passengers to tense security lines.

"You know what my favorite thing is at the airport?" she began sarcastically. "When you have to lean down to get something and there's like, a big line, and you are like four inches behind that person, and then a person behind you decides to just plow past you just to get one spot ahead of you."

According to Frankel, one woman tried exactly that, and the reality star wasn't about to let it slide.

"People are hostile at the airport, and once in a while you're like, yeah, it's that kinda morning, I'll throw down," she recalled. "I look up at her and I say, 'I will throw down.'"

But the confrontation didn't end with the line-cutter. Frankel admitted that her patience continued to wear thin as she made her way through security, complaining about people "body-checking" her in the process.

In the end, she confessed she wasn't exactly the picture of calm either. "Yeah, people are a little hostile," she quipped. "Myself included."

Turns out, there's a reason Bethenny is even in the middle of airport chaos to begin with, and that's because she chooses it.

"The Real Housewives of New York City" alum recently told her TikTok followers that while she has access to private jets, she prefers to fly commercial. Why? Because she says she refuses to waste money.

"Like with everything else, I don't mind spending money, but I never waste money," she explained. "I don't waste food. I'm in a brand new gorgeous house, good enough for major design magazines to want to cover, but about 40 percent of it is pieces I had in my former home."

Bethenny compared her travel choices to her closet, saying she believes in mixing "highs and lows." "I don't need to flex. I don't need it to be a label," she added.

As for why she was spotted flying JetBlue, Bethenny doubled down that she doesn't need "a gigantic plane with two pilots for two people." "It's just wasteful!" she declared, calling private travel more of an emergency backup or an occasional "special treat."

Bethenny Frankel isn't holding back when it comes to TV either. After HBO Max pulled the plug on "And Just Like That," the "Sex and the City" revival, Bethenny went scorched earth on Instagram, labeling it the "worst show ever."

"This is the worst show ever. Honestly, this is from hero to zero. It's just so forced," the 54-year-old reality star ranted in her latest "unfiltered" video, before adding in bold text across the clip, "'And Just Like That' sucks."

Bethenny Frankel is also peeling back the curtain on her "Real Housewives of New York City" days, and let's just say, she wasn't playing by the same rules as everyone else.

"When I was going back to 'Housewives,' I asked for anything I wanted," the 54-year-old told Us Weekly in a new cover story. "They asked me what I wanted. I asked for it. I got it."

Frankel, who first appeared on "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" in 2005 before helping launch "RHONY" three years later, revealed that after leaving the show following season 3, she returned in season 7 with what she described as a "very cushy contract."

"My contract was anything I wanted, the days I wanted to shoot, the hours I wanted to shoot, the way I wanted to shoot, the money I wanted to get," she admitted.

But for Bethenny, it wasn't all about the paycheck.

The Skinnygirl mogul made sure her daughter, Bryn, now 15, always came first.

"The most important things were, if I had my daughter on those days, if it was my custody days, if it was my custody time for a vacation, I would be able to leave," she explained. "It created some resentment, but I was able to come to a cast trip two days late, leave two days early. I would maximize the most of the content when I was there."
