Bethenny Frankel is facing some criticism for publicly criticizing Meghan Markle… again.
The reality TV star shared her disapproval of the Netflix series “Harry & Meghan”, which Meghan and Prince Harry described as “boring” in a video she posted on TikTok on Monday.
“I felt like this whole documentary was about how famous we were, ‘we’re so famous, it’s brutal,'” she said. “When you’re in the car and the garage says you’re leaving… it sounds like you really want us to know how famous you are, which we already know.”
He continued, “If you’re being trolled by the media, the royal family advised you not to say anything because that’s the advice given to the most famous people. If you add gasoline to the fire, the fire gets bigger.”
She later accused the Duchess of Sussex of wanting the fame that comes with being royal and the opportunity to make friends with other celebrities like Amal and George Clooney.
“He doesn’t seem like someone who doesn’t want attention,” he said.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star also said the couple’s decision to step back from their senior royal roles felt like “smash and grab for money”.
Frankel said of Meghan, “He looks like someone who’s entered the monarchy and wants to be the lead, and Kate has already taken that role,” and later added that he believes the documentary is “to gather sympathy.”

The Netflix Global event continues December 15.\n\nHarry & Meghan\nVolume I: Now Streaming\nVolume II: December 15\n\nIn an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story. Across six episodes, the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution. With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other. From the critically-acclaimed, two-time Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus, Harry & Meghan is a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples in history.\n\nSUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/29qBUt7\n\nAbout Netflix:\nNetflix is the world’s leading streaming entertainment service with 223 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, documentaries, feature films and mobile games across a wide variety of genres and languages.

“Bethenny is the one who is obsessed with fame and reminds us how famous she is,” one Twitter user said. tweeted. “Years from now no one will remember who she is but the world will always remember Meghan Markle and that’s what bothers her. Jealousy is a very bad disease.”
Another user wrote, “Harry and Meghan, thank you for the ratings and the free rental space they’ve taken up in your mind.” tweeted.
When TV host Andy Cohen asked Twitter users to post questions they might want Cohen to ask Frankel before appearing on “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this month, several users asked that Frankel openly belittle Meghan.
“Bethenny, why do you hate Meghan Markle so much?” a Twitter user asked. “You seem uncomfortable with the fact that the Duchess is breathing.”
“To Bethenny – Why do you have a problem with Black women expressing their experiences of racism in different domains?” asked the other. “What’s wrong with #Meghan Markle? Leave him alone.”
In September, Frankel described Meghan as “holy” on an episode of her podcast “Just B with Bethenny Frankel”, Entertainment Tonight reported.
“He’s up, we’re down,” he said.
In May 2021, Frankel slammed Meghan in front of her and Prince Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, telling her, “Cry me a river.”
“The difficult situation of being a game show host, a rather unrecognized actress, suffering in a palace, being a well-known name with @Oprah on speed dial for TWO YEARS with Crowns and 7-figure weddings, bringing 7m for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals,” she tweeted. and later added that Prince Harry was immune from criticism.
Frankel got a quick reaction for her remarks at the time, with people saying the reality star refused to understand what it was like to endure racist attacks and online harassment during Meghan’s time as a senior royal.
The “ROHNY” graduate later retracted her criticism of Meghan, describing herself as “polarizing” and “unfiltered”.
“I watched M&H sit down. Emotional distress and racism should feel suffocating and powerless,” she wrote. “I am a polarized, unfiltered (often faulty) flawed voice. When I heard the interview during a pandemic, it sounded like a surprising choice. I’m sorry if it hurt or offended you.”
