While many have taken to Twitter to rally behind Meghan Markle ahead of her prime time interview with Oprah. Former reality Tv Star Bethenny Frankel felt she needed to add in her two cents saying she felt no sympathy for the Duchess of Sussex.
In a series of tweets Bethenny reacted to the drama surrounding the actress-turned-royal. “Not since @MonicaLewinsky interview, have people been obsessed with a young female interview like this #MARRY interview. Remember the famous lip gloss?” the reality TV star wrote.
She didn’t stop there, Frankel then went on to say that the former actress is having a pity party, “Cry me a river…the plight of being a game show host, fairly unknown actress, to suffering in a palace, w tiaras & 7 figure weddings for TWO WHOLE YEARS to being a household name w @Oprah on speed dial, fetching 7 m for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals.” It’s worth noting that the 7 million dollars is the licensing fees that CBS paid, Harry and Meghan got nothing for this interview.

But she feels that Prince Harry deserves a pass in this situation.
I ? give Harry a break. This isn’t the way to generate less press & cannot be filed under the guise of wanting privacy to prevent a repeat of previous events. If you hate me for saying it here don’t listen to my podcast #justbwithbethenny it’s littered with my opinion. https://t.co/0OTvxRlk41

After Bethenny let those tweets fly, Black Twitter had a field day bringing in receipts of the reality star problematic past when it comes to Black Women.

Across the board people didn’t seem to appreciate the comments especially since Prince Harry and Meghan are in this situation because of the bullying and racism that spewed in the British press.

You chose to be a thirsty reality star Meghan didn’t chose to be attacked for being a Black woman who married a Prince. https://t.co/QMyvK6hpca

You could have really just sat there and drank your skinny margarita, Bethenny. https://t.co/vAfaHwUSu8

Not a white housewife comparing her struggle to Meghan’s. A woman of color joining the Royal Family. It’s the delusion for me ??????????????? Everyone is working overtime trying to silence her. Let us hear what she has to say!

Listen, @Omarosa tried to warn y'all about @Bethenny Frankel when she had that failed talk show years ago. These targeted attacks on #MeghanMarkle by bullies like Bethenny, the insufferable Piers Morgan & others are because she's BLACK! #OprahMeghanHarry #HarryandMeghanonOprah pic.twitter.com/eWsp3gy1lU

You can surely expect Bethenny to issue a bland apology how she isn’t racist or didn’t mean it that way. It’s the same apology they all seem to pass around. Save the apology, just do better.
