When it comes to a hot topic, you know Bethenny Frankel will say whatever is on her mind. Even if it’s unhelpful, contradictory, or downright bad.
Why? Because they have a podcast to promote. And people aren’t going to tune in every week just to hear Sunny Hostin’s kid playing on the beach or whatever.
Although Bethenny sometimes targets the most vulnerable members of society on her podcast, she sometimes goes after the Kardashians. Who is enough the opposite from that.
Bethenny is taking on the Kardashians again about Kim’s skin care products. And she’s far from the only famous beauty brand on her list.
New Beauty interviewed by Bethenny Frankel and went through various celebrity beauty brands.
“There’s a lot of rubbish out there – especially when it comes to beauty,” she admits.
Bethenny then said, “I just want to find something I can do, get out the door and get on with my life.”
Some brands don’t seem to mind, he notes, such as Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty and Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs.
“There’s so much to this whole line that there’s going to be some good and some bad,” Bethenny said.
He explained: “There are many products that you will find positive and negative.”
Interestingly, Bethenny praised that Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez are “doing a great job” with their respective brands.
Selena Gomez has Rare Beauty. Hailey Bieber, who fans have long observed doing things like Selena, has Rhode.
Interestingly, it seems that Bethenny is staying out of the supposed Selena vs. Hailey feud. To be fair, so does Selena herself.
Bethenny then observed that Ariana Grande’s brand, REM Beauty, “doesn’t have a lot of hype.”
“But,” he continued, “the product is good.”
Unlike some of the other big names on the market, Bethenny said.
“Look at Skkn Kim Kardashian,” Bethenny said, referring to Kardashian’s most famous skincare line.
“It’s like a moment because it’s a big announcement and it’s exciting,” he commented.
“But it didn’t last,” Bethenny said. “You have to be able to sustain this industry.”
They’ve taken aim at the Kardashians in general, at Kim herself, and at Kim’s skincare line specifically before.
Regarding Skkn, Bethenny called it “impractical” and “a bit expensive”.
He temporarily complimented Skims socks, but backed out of the deal when he learned that outspoken Hitler fan Kanye West was a part owner.
Sometimes, Bethenny’s reviews come across as honest criticism. Other times, they feel like they’re begging for attention.
We’re all talking about hot topics, and that’s natural for the former reality TV personality who’s now a podcaster. But Bethenny has crossed some lines.
You know, like Bethenny’s weird transphobic rant where she called for the segregation of trans and cis kids at summer camp.
