Bethenny Frankel blasts 'miserable, washed-up' Joy Behar for criticizing her body on 'The View'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bethenny Frankel clapped back at Joy Behar after she commented on her body following her appearance on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway during Miami Swim Week on May 31.

Taking to TikTok, the former ‘Real Housewives of New York’ star said, “Joy Behar took a swipe at me on ‘The View,’” as per PEOPLE.

“Whoopi [Goldberg] mentioned I was talking about the [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit] show, saying that none of us looked the way that we looked two hours prior. It took a lot of work and glam teams. Joy’s response was, ‘I appreciate her candor, but she has fake boobs,’” she mentioned.

Bethenny Frankel then went on to disclose that her breasts “are a lift from, like, 20 years ago.”

“I had very large breasts in high school, they were just saggy floppy. So this is actually a lift, Joy,” she asserted.

The TV personality further shared that the fashion show proved “that women my age and older, women of a certain age, can live their lives freely with happiness and with joy, and that we’re not washed-up, miserable older women.”

She, however, criticized Behar as she stated, “I actually feel sorry for Joy that she hasn't lived her life, or doesn't seem to be living her life, with any joy.”

Bethenny Frankel calls Joy Behar ‘miserable, washed-up woman'

“You have to be really miserable to take a swipe at something that is literally self-deprecating and literally leveling the playing field, saying, ‘Yeah, we all look like this, but we had a lot of work that day. She had to kick someone when they were already saying they’re down,” the 54-year-old philanthropist added.

Frankel concluded her rant by noting, “Sadly, Joy is painting the picture of the older, seemingly miserable, washed-up woman that all of us are trying to show that we aren’t.”

Bethenny Frankel claims she does not ‘do weights’

This followed a video from earlier in June where the reality star addressed speculation about her appearance.

She said on Instagram, “So I guess we have to discuss what I looked like on that runway because the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair.”

“Listen, I can tell you with great certainty that every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior,” Frankel revealed, before adding, “My body is natural. I don't do weights. And the reason my body is natural is because the exercise I do and have always done for my body is natural.”
