Courtney Stodden Slams Bethenny Frankel for Making Them 'Feel So Mocked,' Bethenny Responds

Courtney Stodden is very publicly slamming Bethenny Frankel.

During a recent episode of her podcast, the 51-year-old former RHONY star called out the Kardashians for presenting “distorted” beauty ideals.

After hearing Bethenny‘s comments about the Kardashians, Courtney, 28, looked back their appearance on Bethenny‘s daytime talk show in 2013, where they said Bethenny made them “feel so mocked.”

“How are you @bethennyfrankel for girls/women when you made me feel so mocked on your show when I was 19? I canceled all my other interviews in nyc and immediately returned back to LA crying my eyes out. She didn’t try to help me, she allowed members of her audience to laugh at me. It hurt me deeply,” Courtney wrote on Instagram.

Courtney added, “That also causes insecurities, depression which added to MY own eating disorder. Idk, it’s just hypocritical. I felt like I had to say ‘I don’t read or write’ when she was mockingly asking about my book. I was about to bust out in tears half way through. It’s something I haven’t forgotten 🤦🏻‍♀️❤️‍🩹 but I am fine I just can’t deal with the championing women ???”

In a follow-up post, Courtney wrote, “Is this somebody that shows empathy towards children who have been abused? Or who actually cares about women’s mental health? And is supportive towards women? Hmm @bethennyfrankel maybe you should let @kimkardashian be @kimkardashian.”

Courtney also shared a clip from the interview, where Bethenny said Courtney looked “like you could be at a strip club” before telling them “you look very promiscuous.”

Then on Saturday (September 3), Courtney shared the response they received from Bethenny after getting called out.

“I just saw your post. I watched the entire interview again. As a woman in business and branding, I was listening to what you said your goals were-to be at 19, to not go into porn and to forge a new path,” Bethenny wrote. “I was supportive of that choice, which you didn’t show in any of your clips.”

“Perhaps unfortunately, how we present ourselves is part of our branding and marketing. You were certainly marketing yourself differently than you are now, which seems to be working for you,” Bethenny continued. “I wish you luck in your endeavors. If something I said, upset or struck with you, I’m sorry. Perhaps our conversation did contribute to the positive path that you embarked on.”

Bethenny concluded, “I do think about young women very much as a mother, and I believe that you changed your course and direction. That’s inspirational. B.”

Along with sharing Bethenny‘s message, Courtney wrote, “She’s hunting women left and right. That conversation helped fan the flames of the public and internet fodder concerning my personal life. No @bethennyfrankel you do not deserve credit for my healing process! #mentalhealth #gaslit #womensupportingwomen.”

If you missed it, Bethenny also recently slammed Meghan Markle. Here’s what she said.
