Bethenny Frankel calls Andy Cohen ‘bitter’ after he takes swipe at her TikTok content
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bethenny Frankel has fired back at Andy Cohen after he reportedly mocked her TikTok content.
Taking to social media on Saturday, October 24, the TV personality said, “Well, Andy Cohen took a swipe at me on a panel, so let’s take the bait,’” according to Page Six.
“I think he was asked, ‘Would you ever have Bethenny back on the ‘Housewives?’ And he said, ‘I’m not really active on TikTok.’ Which is abundantly clear, because he’s still sitting in the same place I left him,” Frankel stated.

Frankel's response came after a panel discussion at Bravo Fan Fest, moderated by Cohen. During the event, Carole Radziwill was asked whether she could see Frankel returning to 'The Real Housewives of New York City'.
Radziwill simply replied, “I don’t know if she’d come back. That’s way above my pay grade. That’s Andy’s [decision].”
Cohen, an executive producer of the reality show, responded, “I’m not really active on TikTok.”

Responding to his remark, Frankel, who left the franchise in 2020 before Season 12 to focus on her businesses, suggested that the 58-year-old TV host seemed “a little bitter” because “he lost” his original 'Housewives' stars.
She was referring to Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, and Dorinda Medley, who now appear in the E! reality series 'The Golden Life'.
“He waits for them to pay their paycheck, while we are all over here making our own coin, on our own way, on our own terms,” Frankel added.
Bethenny Frankel explains her TikTok content strategy
In May, the 55-year-old entrepreneur discussed her TikTok strategy on the 'Aspire' podcast.
According to Us Weekly, she said, “I believe that trust and attention are the two most valuable assets right now in the media. I think that if you can have both, it’s unbelievable. People don’t have to like me, but they do trust me, and I do have their attention. I mean, there’s data to prove that.”
“I am aware that the people that hated Howard Stern were tuning in for twice as long. I’m aware that the haters live for me. So, they’re a currency. And so, I’ll just clap back. I’ll be like, ‘Well, you’re right here, so thank you for being here, and get your popcorn out ‘cause you’re going to hate me even more in about a moment,” Frankel explained at the time.
