A Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Ripa bum fun contest occurred on Bethenny’s Instagram yesterday, March 7. Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Ripa’s bikini bottoms featured on the RHONY alum’s Instagram, and she asked fans to choose the better one. Bethenny had a fun time with followers while also praising Kelly’s backside. Read on for more details.
Bethenny Frankel Posts Her And Kelly Ripa’s Backsides Online
Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Ripa’s bikini made it to Bethenny’s Instagram page on Tuesday with the caption, “Who wore it best?”
In the snap, Bethenny sported a white sweater with purple bikini cut undies as she stood atop a dog bed. Meanwhile, Bethenny’s longtime friend Kelly’s picture showed her on a beachside in a bathing suit.
The photo of the Live with Kelly and Ryan host was a cropped post from her Instagram. The picture featured her and her husband, Mark Consuelos, on the beach in black swimsuits in 2020.
The Real Housewives of New York alum also jokingly asked if she is “still eligible” for a New Year’s gym membership discount.
She then concluded her caption with applause to her friend’s bum, “And I would kiss miss Kelly’s ass any day of the week!”
Meanwhile, Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Ripa are longtime friends. Bethenny also shared that she did the comparison only because of their bond.
Followers React To Bethenny’s Post
The business owner received some humorous reactions from Instagram users in the comments section. However, a few also criticized her for sharing.
“Why are we having to see this???? 😵💫, a user commented while a second user wrote “Ok talk about fat shaming. Why are you asking for a gym membership?? Really?? Why are we even comparing?? Pick it and stick with it.
However, other followers turned on the second user and quickly clarified that she had misinterpreted Bethenny’s post.
Another user commented that the fashionista was giving “humble brag vibes while trying to be funny and relatable,” to which Frankel responded, “Well tough s–t.”
Despite the shade, other users applauded Frankel’s candid post, with one user commenting that her unfiltered photo was a “breath of fresh air.”
Bethenny Is An Advocate For Realistic Beauty Standards
The last comment makes more sense when compared to the Skinnygirl mogul’s thoughts on filters and beauty standards.
Bethenny has been outspoken about the “destructive” quality of filters, secret plastic surgery, and beauty standards. She also called out celebrities who use photo manipulation in a December interview with Oprah Daily.
The 52-year-old previously posted before-and-after photos of herself with and without editing. She also partnered with Laura Geller Beauty for a “reverse Photoshopped” campaign to prove her point of unrealistic beauty standards.
Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Ripa’s mock bum is one of Bethenny’s hilarious attempts at having fun. Thankfully, many of her followers understood her intent, as it could have gone badly.
