The pictures showed them having a great time in Melbourne before they went for some sweet treat. The last image shared along with multiple photos included a rainbow-colored ice cream but it looked like a penis.

Frankel captioned the images, saying, “To be able to turn a work trip into a mother-daughter bonding BONDI trip and travel experience means I have worked to create a life that dreams are made of…”

She added, “Exploring all that Melbourne has to offer and can’t wait to show you more of this adventure. We are so happy here! PS. The food scene here is incredible and let’s just say we got more than we bargained for…👀🙈🌈”

People criticized Bethenny Frankel

The Instagram share got thousands of likes but not all seemed happy with the ice cream choice as a user commented, “Cute. But why the last photo??? 😕”

The second user wrote, “Confused about the last pic and trying to set an example for your young daughter!”

The third one noted, “Why would you post that with photos of you and your daughter!”

The fourth user said, “I have adored Bethenny since long before she was famous and still have the very first merch she launched for skinny girl bell bottom yoga pants with a rollover top in red. However, I think it’s a bit much for a mom to buy a rainbow dick ice cream with or for my 8th-grade daughter. Not appropriate sorry and I’m far from a Karen.”

The fifth user stated, “Bethany… I gave you a lot more credit, and now I’m regretting it... Too much too soon .. you are her Mom, not her bestie. Make better decisions 🙁.”

Bethenny Frankel received some support

However, one supporter shared, “Everyone needs to relax with the last photo. We have some random stores here that serve food and dessert in funny shapes. It's funny and not that serious. Welcome to Aus B, have the best trip. See you in Syd 🩵.”

Another one added, “OMG! Some of these comments. It’s a rainbow penis treat. Get over it. Do you think Bryn doesn’t know what a penis is? She’s a teenager. If this bothers you, you are following the wrong person. Go clutch your pearls somewhere else. While you’re at it, find humor. Seriously, let loose and laugh a little.”
