Bethenny Frankel responded to the recent premiere of And Just Like That with a confident clap back. In a video shared on Instagram, the 52-year-old reality star was seen enjoying her Forever Young rosé while a scene from the Max series played in the background. Frankel captioned the clip by pointing out that despite being off TV for years, she is still a topic of conversation among the catty housewives. She also mentioned that she was currently sipping her new wine from her house in the Hamptons, which was funded by her previous spirits venture. Cheers, ladies.

Frankel’s quips come the day after the season 2 premiere of And Just Like That, the Sex and the City spinoff that debuted in 2021. The show continues the story after the franchise’s second film, following Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) as they navigate new chapters in their lives. In the second episode of season 2, which aired on Thursday, there was a subtle jab at the Real Housewives of New York City alum. During a conversation about their love lives, Carrie tells her friend Seema (Sarita Choudhury) that she had almost bought a house in the Hamptons multiple times but always found a reason not to. When Seema jokes, asking if the reason was always Bethenny Frankel, Carrie bursts into laughter, throwing her head back.

Frankel, known for her role on RHONY for eight seasons, recently sold her SoHo apartment in March 2022. Her motive behind the sale was to provide a permanent residence in the Hamptons for her 13-year-old daughter, Bryn. Frankel shares custody of Bryn with her ex-husband, Jason Hoppy, whom she divorced in 2021. The Bridgehampton estate she purchased boasts impressive features including five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a pool, and a bar. Spanning across 3,600 square feet, the property has also attracted notable celebrities such as Christina Aguilera and Jamie Foxx, who have been seen enjoying themselves at the residence. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Frankel expressed her contentment with her suburban lifestyle in the Hamptons, stating that it feels more like home to her compared to the bustling city of New York where she primarily works.

Fans wasted no time in sharing their reactions to Frankel's response to AJLT. While some praised her for her post, others expressed their decision to stop watching the series. Frankel has a history of clapping back at haters, as seen in her recent response to critics of her engagement ring from fiancé Paul Bernon.

Frankel expressed her concerns about the implications of the situation via an Instagram post on June 20. Accompanied by a picture of the reported 10-carat diamond, she admitted feeling a sense of fear. However, her followers wasted no time in criticizing her for being ostentatious and flaunting her wealth. In response to one user's comment about owning a large diamond without being showy, Frankel sarcastically remarked that they might also lack a sense of humor to show off.
