Bethenny Frankel spent years feuding with her castmates on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City,” but now she has beef with a luxury fashion brand.
On Instagram, the Skinnygirl founder opened up about being denied entry to Chanel’s Chicago store on Wednesday, which she called “elitist” and exclusionary,” because she didn’t have an appointment.
“I didn’t realize we weren’t allowed to walk into stores anymore,” Frankel, who wore a white T-shirt, joked in the video. “Gotta get a pap smear appointment and all to walk into Chanel. No big deal.”
Then, the next day, Frankel returned to the Chanel store in a chic, all-black head-to-toe designer outfit. And this time, she posted a video entering without a problem.

She captioned the post, showing her walking in the outfit with a designer purse, quipping “it’s important that I mention that the three gentleman outside (not present yesterday) were lovely.” After a brief wait, Frankel walked in and then right out of the store, telling the camera “no problem today” donning a beaded headband.
Frankel also posted an Instagram carousel in the all-black set, with the cheeky caption “started from the bottom now we’re here…”, a playful use of rapper Drake’s lyrics from the 2013 song “Started From The Bottom.”
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Frankel and Chanel for comment.
