Bethenny Frankel describes getting ‘punched in the face’ in ‘wild’ NYC attack after TikTok comment

Bethenny Frankel is breaking down the “wild” moment she got “punched in the face” at a New York City bakery.

The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum was in Manhattan looking at apartments when she claims she stopped for a snack and was hit by “this man, this homeless man.”

Frankel, 53, clarified to her TikTok followers in a video Thursday that the random attack wasn’t made “with, like, a closed fist.”

Although the “completely stunned” Bravolebrity told her security guard about the assault and he “started confronting the guy,” she wanted to “get the hell out of there” and not “provoke [him] anymore.”

She recalled, “At that point, I texted the broker and said, ‘I don’t want to see apartments anymore. This city is insane.”

The Skinnygirl creator’s social media upload comes one day after she made headlines for commenting on another TikTok user’s video about being punched on an NYC street.

“This is insane bc this happened to me a few months ago but I was embarrassed to say,” Frankel wrote on Wednesday. “I was on the UWS [Upper West Side]. Insane. I was taking video of a bakery.”

In her follow-up video, the former reality star denied deleting the comment as has been reported.

“It’s a crazy crime spree and I don’t understand it. And I’m sorry for all the other women that it’s happening to,” she added of the “alarming” trend of being “cold-cocked, like, in the street.”

“I hope it’s more of like a weird trend than an actual reflection of crime,” she added. GC Images Frankel’s recollection comes as other women are sharing similar stories via TikTok. GC Images

Frankel noted, “I hope it’s more of, like, a weird trend than an actual reflection of crime because it did scare me about New York City.

“That day did freak me out,” she continued. “I did I did tell my daughter about it because it scares me that she’s in the city sometimes walking in the streets.”
