Bethenny Frankel landed in hot water once again after posting a TikTok about the residents of the Hamptons.
The former Real Housewives of New York star, 53, took to her social media on Thursday to share her thoughts on the popular seaside community in Long Island, New York, claiming it's not only for 'rich people' but also for minorities.
'Hamptons is an amazing place, there's all kinds of people here, its not only rich people,' the Skinny Girl mogul began. 'There is a big Latin community, there is an African American community here on the beach. Beautiful houses. I had a house there once summer.'
Followers swiftly condemned the racially charged remarks, with The View cohost Ana Navarro leading the pack.
'News flash: White people are not the only ones capable of having money. There are rich Black people and rich "Latins,"' Navarro posted.

One fan wrote, '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?'
Another added, 'This woman has been snowing her white privilege for YEARS, This is nothing new and is just who she is.'
And another chimed in, simply stating, 'Bethenny needs to seriously put her phone down for a long time. She needs to stop.'
The backlash comes merely two weeks after the reality star faced criticism for buying a luxury car to match her dress.
Standing in front a a new blue Ford Bronco while wearing a blue maxi dress in snaps posted to Instagram, she wrote, 'When you buy a car to match your outfit…'
'People can't even afford groceries right now and you're posting this?' asked one fan.
Another posted, 'So tone deaf do u really need to show off ur in the Hamptons & got a new car?'
'Wow. That's so relatable,' added one sarcastic commenter.

In September 2023, Bethenny was also slammed for giving away 'leftover makeup' to T.J. Maxx employees which she filmed in a TikTok video.
She was labeled 'out of touch' by one social media user while fellow Bravo star, Carole Radziwill, called the action as 'white savior complex.'
In the clip, the TV personality explained that, 'the women who work here are so nice and they're always complimenting me on what we buy...'
'So I wanted to bring them some of the leftover makeup that I just tried, opened up, and put in a giveaway pile,' Bethenny stated, and then insisted that, 'It's all brand new.'
After taking a quick look at some of the designer items at the store, she then cut the clip to show bags filled with makeup products.
The reality star explained that the makeup items in the bags 'are all things that have been opened once, and then not used. But, they're good and fancy and expensive.'
However, the employee expressed concern about accepting the makeup and stated that there was a possibility for 'getting in trouble' due to not being able to accept 'any gratuity or gifts.'
Social media users quickly flocked to the comment section to share their reactions to the video, with one writing, 'why film her. she looks scared. is this for clout?'

Former Real Housewives Of New York City castmate, Carole Radziwill, slammed Bethenny on X, and also reposted the same reel.
Bethenny and Carole were once close on the Bravo series, but their friendship unraveled during the show's 10th season.
'Who sent this to me? Lol. I mean stop this nonsense. So much to unpack but I'm not getting paid to do this any longer. But here…one “word”: #whitesaviorcomplex,' Radziwill wrote.
