Bethenny Frankel Dragged After Claiming Blacks and Latinos Are NOT RICH Like WHITE People!
Bethenny Frankel has stirred significant controversy with recent comments where she claimed that Blacks and Latinos are not wealthy like white people in the Hamptons. The statement has ignited a firestorm of criticism, drawing attention to racial disparities and prompting widespread outrage across social.
In the video below posted on Bethenny Frankel’s TikTok on July 10, the former Real Housewives of New York star dives deep into the character and complexity of the Hamptons, addressing misconceptions and providing a local’s insight into this iconic destination.
She opens by setting the stage with the Hamptons’ unique blend of farm, beach, and woodland environments, emphasizing its diversity in both landscape and population. Contrary to popular belief, she points out, the Hamptons is not exclusively a playground for the wealthy rich but it hosts a vibrant Latin community and African American community as well.
“So the Hamptons is an amazing place because it’s farm meets beach, meets woods, and there are all kinds of people here. It’s not only rich people. There are all kinds of people — there is a big Latin community here — there is a African American community here, on the beach beautiful houses.” Bethenny stated in the following TikTok video posted on Thursday, July 10.

As you can imagine, Bethenny’s comments ignited a firestorm on social media after the video was reshared all over social media. One critic wrote, “Sooooo only rich people are white?????”
Another person noted, “So rich is a synonym for white?” Someone else shared, “Soooo, she equates rich to white..? Ok Beth.”
A spectator remarked, “Latinos taking “black jobs” in the Hamptons 🤔 Because Black and Latino can’t be rich? Girl!!! You said their houses are ON THE BEACH!! If that’s not RICH what is???”
Another poster questioned, “So the Latin & African American communities can’t be rich?”
“Sorry are you all dense, why is everyone glossing over the ‘the aren’t just rich people here, also latins and af-Americans’ ???????” Another person commented.
As fans know, Bethenny Frankel became rich overnight after she landed a massive deal from the sale of her SkinnyGirl cocktail brand.
Bethenny’s $100 million deal that significantly boosted her wealth came from the sale of her Skinnygirl cocktail line. In 2011, Bethenny sold the Skinnygirl cocktail brand to Beam Global (now part of Beam Suntory) for a sum reported to be around $100 million. This deal was particularly notable because it allowed Bethenny to retain the Skinnygirl name for use on other non-alcoholic products, expanding her brand further into the health and lifestyle market.
The Skinnygirl cocktails, which started with a low-calorie margarita, quickly became popular for their appeal to health-conscious consumers looking for lower-calorie drink options, catapulting Bethenny into the spotlight as a successful entrepreneur.
