Bethenny Frankel called out Joy Behar for ripping apart her appearance on national television after recently walking the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show.

In her latest Instagram post, the former Real Housewives of New York City star, 54, sat outside in a straw hat and a white bralette top as she shared her reaction to the 82-year-old comedian’s recent comments about her.

‘So, Joy Behar took a swipe at me on The View. Whoopi [Goldberg] mentioned that I was talking about the show saying that none of us looked that way that we looked two hours prior, it took a lot of work and glam team,’ Bethenny said.

She continued: ‘And Joy’s response was “I appreciate her candor, but she has fake boobs.’

The Skinny Girl mogul also shared that her breasts are real, but credited their high and perky appearance to a breast lift that she got ’15-20 years ago.’

‘These are a lift from like 15-20 years ago, I had very large, big boobs in high school that were saggy, floppy and this is actually a lift, Joy,’ the mother-of-one clarified.

Bethenny went on to say that one thing The View does is shows that women in their 40s, 50s and older ‘can live their lives freely with happiness and with joy and we’re not washed up miserable older women.’

‘And I actually feel sorry for Joy that she hasn’t lived her life or doesn’t seem to be living her life with any joy.

 

‘Because you have to be really miserable to take a swipe at something that is literally self-deprecating and literally leveling the playing field saying yeah, we all look like this but we had a lot of work that day.

Bethenny was just getting warmed up in her rant and criticized Behar for kicking her when she was down.

‘Sadly Joy is painting the picture of the older seemingly miserable washed up woman that all of us are trying to show we aren’t,’ Bethenny said.

‘So you keep being happy, you keep living your life, you keep being the example of a woman of a certain age that you would be proud of.

She concluded: ‘And we have women like Joy Behar that remind us who we don’t want to be. Have a good day.’

Her post comes just a week after wowing the world on the catwalk in a slew of revealing swimsuits in Miami Beach.

She left little to the imagination during the show, flaunting her incredibly toned physique in a barely-there polka dot bikini with a thong bottom at one point.

Fans were left in awe of her svelte figure, and many couldn’t help but wonder what the reality star has been doing both diet and fitness-wise to look that good.

Thankfully, Bethenny spoke exclusively with DailyMail.com about how she stays in shape.

And though people may be begging her for her workout routine, it actually turns out that she doesn’t hit the gym – at all.

‘I don’t work out. I just stay active in ways that feel natural – walking, moving, living. I don’t force it,’ she dished. ‘I walk. That’s my main form of movement.’

Bethenny explained that having a ‘healthy relationship with food and exercise’ is what keeps her body looking so fit.

‘I self-regulate,’ she continued. ‘Sometimes I’m super active and eat clean, and sometimes I rest and indulge.

‘I go through phases, like everyone, but I always come back to center. It’s about balance, not extremes.’

She revealed that for 10 days leading up to the show, she made an extra ‘effort to care for herself.’

‘I slept more, ate well, stayed hydrated, and created space to just feel good,’ explained the star.

‘It wasn’t about “getting ready” for a moment – it was about being good to myself.’

As for her skin routine, she revealed that she believes the ‘key’ to keeping her complexion youthful is ‘consistency.’

‘I keep it consistent – that’s key. I cleanse, tone, use a vitamin C serum, layer on rich creams, SPF, and I rotate in masks, exfoliation, and deep cleansing,’ she added. ‘I stick to what works and do it regularly.’
