Bethenny Frankel's Jaw-Dropping Engagement Ring: An Unprecedented Showstopper That'll Leave You Speechless!

Bethenny Frankel, known for her outspokenness, didn't hesitate to respond to several fans who criticized her for proudly displaying her enormous engagement ring from her fiancé, Paul Bernon. The controversy started when Frankel shared an Instagram video on Tuesday, June 20, expressing her excitement over the stunning rock, rumored to be 10 carats in size.

"Feeling a bit apprehensive about how this could potentially affect me," expressed the ex-star of Real Housewives of New York City in the caption of her social media post. In the comments section, followers criticized Frankel, labeling her as "ostentatious" and "excessively boastful."

"I also own a large diamond, but I don't feel the need to flaunt it or boast about my possessions," commented a social media user. In response, Frankel cheekily remarked, "Well, good for you. Perhaps you're lacking a sense of humor, so you can't showcase that either."

Frankel reiterated her response to another critic who expressed discomfort with the bragging nature of her post. She acknowledged that her jewelry is indeed extravagant and that she can pull it off, but assured everyone that it is safely stored in a vault. Despite the criticism, she maintained her stance and encouraged her followers to embrace a sense of humor. This prompted yet another critic to comment on the idea that money speaks loudly while wealth keeps quiet.

“Instead of flaunting extravagant weddings in the South of France as if they were low-key affairs, let's focus on more meaningful endeavors like charity work,” Frankel countered. She sarcastically added, "Thanks for participating in this engagement post!" Despite the criticism, some commenters expressed admiration, exclaiming, "That's a truly impressive diamond!"

Frankel and Bernon began their relationship in 2018, having met on a dating app. Although they briefly separated, they announced their engagement in March 2021. Meanwhile, Frankel had recently concluded her divorce from Jason Hoppy, with whom she ended her less than three-year marriage in 2012. Together, they have a 13-year-old daughter named Bryn.
