Bethenny Frankel has officially entered the chat with some unsolicited but very spicy advice for Kim Kardashian regarding her ongoing legal drama with ex-husband Kanye West. And honestly? She’s kinda got a point.
The former Real Housewives of New York star—who has survived enough reality TV drama to qualify as a professional crisis manager—took to Instagram to offer Kim some words of wisdom, seasoned with a dash of “been there, done that, got the custody agreement to prove it.”
Bethenny’s Divorce Résumé (Because Apparently That’s a Thing?)
“Listen, as someone who survived a divorce that lasted longer than the actual marriage itself—seriously, my lawyer probably named his yacht after me—I feel like I have a little expertise here,” Bethenny, 54, explained in her video.
Her main concern? That Kim and Kanye’s 11-year-old daughter, North West, has been caught up in the middle of her parents’ mess—particularly after she was featured on a song with audio from Diddy (yes, that Diddy), which Kim allegedly tried to prevent from being released.
The Verdict? Kanye Should Be Left on Read
Bethenny didn’t mince words: “Kim is still texting Kanye. And Kanye… well, Kanye is not a rational person. That’s like trying to reason with a toddler on a sugar high—it’s just not gonna happen. She should NOT be speaking to him directly. Instead, she needs a Kanye Whisperer, a buffer, a human shield. Because let’s be real—he’s sharing her texts like they’re spoilers for the next House of the Dragon episode. And that’s a huge violation.”
The Kardashian-West History Lesson (For Those Who Just Woke Up from a Coma)
In case you forgot (or actively tried to block it out), Kim and Kanye were married for nearly seven years before splitting in 2021. Since then, they’ve been co-parenting their four kids: North (11, current pop star), Saint (9, future football player?), Chicago (7, too cool for this drama), and Psalm (5, still blissfully unaware).
As for whether Kim will actually take Bethenny’s advice? Well, considering this is a woman who let cameras roll while she ugly-cried over earrings in the ocean, something tells us she might have her own plan. But hey, never say never.
Would you take Bethenny’s advice and block Kanye? Or are we all just here for the messy entertainment? 🫣
