Bethenny Frankel blasts Kamala Harris for ‘hobnobbing with celebrities
By Sean Mandell
Bethenny Frankel criticized Kamala Harris for spending time “hobnobbing with celebrities” during her campaign against Donald Trump.
In a video posted Wednesday on her Instagram, the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum, who has not revealed who she voted for, explained why she did not think it was a “good idea” for Harris to be “aligning with celebrities.”
“This was the most divisive election that I can recall in my lifetime, the stakes felt so high on both sides, people couldn’t have an opinion,” Frankel, 54, said.
“It’s been like that for a while but it felt more crystallized here, you couldn’t have an opinion, regardless of who you were voting for. You couldn’t say either candidate didn’t do something you didn’t like… something that wasn’t a good business practice.”

“I genuinely did not think that aligning with celebrities is and was a good idea. I don’t think the American public by and large care about who is hobnobbing with celebrities, it’s the forbidden fruit, it’s tempting, it’s right there, it’s the shiny object.
The reality TV star continued, “I don’t think its a working model, I’m allowed to have that opinion.”
