AceShowbiz - Bethenny Frankel is not immune to online criticism. Having often given her unwarranted take on various hot social culture issues, the former reality TV star has been dragged online for buying a phallic dessert with her underage daughter Bryn.
A few days ago, the entrepreneur posted on her Instagram page a carousel of pictures from her trip with her teen daughter to Melbourne, Australia. In the snaps, the mother-daughter duo explored the city along the Yarra River, before indulging in a multi-colored, glittery dessert from Mykiki, which resembled a penis.
In the caption, the 53-year-old wrote, "To be able to turn a work trip into a mother daughter bonding trip and travel experience means I have worked to create a life that dreams are made of." She added, "Exploring all that Melbourne has to offer and can't wait to show you more of this adventure."
"We are so happy here! PS. The food scene here is incredible and let's just say we got more than we bargained for...," the mother of one teased, referencing the penis-shaped dessert in the final slide of the post. She added several emojis, including a rainbow emoji.
Needless to say, many of her followers were left shocked by the last image. "Bethany [sic]... I gave you a lot more credit, now I'm regretting.. Too much too soon .. you are her Mom, not her bestie. Make better decisions," a disappointed fan wrote.
A second person commented on the post, "I think it's a bit much as a mom to buy a rainbow d**k ice cream with or for my 8 th grade daughter. Not appropriate sorry and I'm far from a karen." Another simply wrote, "The last photo is so tasteless."
"Confused about the last pic and trying to set an example for your young daughter," another chimed in, while a fifth wrote, "Why would you post that with photos of you and your daughter!" Another took issue with the way Bryn was dressed, pointing out, "The cleavage/cropped top on a 12 year old?"
Some, meanwhile, have come to Bethenny's defense. "Bethenny I am so sorry all of these people are being haters - you're a fantastic mother, your daughter is beautiful and these trolls just need a hug and some healing," one of them wrote.
An Australian fan chimed in, "We have some random stores here that serve food and dessert in funny shapes. It’s funny and not that serious. Welcome to Aus B, have the best trip." Another advised the critics, "If this bothers you, you are following the wrong person. Go clutch your pearls somewhere else. While you're at it, find humor. Seriously, let loose and laugh a little," while someone else added, "Can't we have a post with out one f**king Karen chiming in."
