NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Bethenny Frankel recently revealed that she was attacked by a random man on the streets of New York City while searching for an apartment.

The former cast member of 'The Real Housewives of New York City' was in Manhattan scouting apartments when she alleges she paused for a snack and encountered "this man, this homeless man."

In a video posted on Thursday to her TikTok audience, Bethenny Frankel, aged 53, explained that the unexpected assault wasn't carried out "with, like, a closed fist." Despite feeling "completely stunned," the Bravo celebrity informed her security guard about the assault, which led him to "start confronting the guy."

However, she expressed a desire to "get the hell out of there" and avoid "provoking [him] anymore." Recalling the incident, she stated, "At that point, I texted the broker and said, ‘I don’t want to see apartments anymore. This city is insane."

Since then the video has gone viral all over social media, with multiple users coming out in support of Bethenny Frankel amid the concerning trend of women being attacked in NYC. A user wrote, "Thank god you’re ok !" while another said, "Check out CNN they doing a story about other women also being punched in the face in NY it's all over tiktok".

One fan wrote, "It’s turning into ESCAPE FROM NY 2024! The cops can’t even stop this hate crime against women trend b/c of the insane laws they’ve passed."Another posted, "I am wondering if you have called the police so he will be able to do it again to next girl?".

One fan posted, "Get out of NYC" while another chimed in stating, "So many are calling her a liar! And it's not just on this account. Why on earth would she lie? And don't say she wants to stay relevant. She's is not well known, other than the Bravo World viewers. I'm sure her police report will spell this all out. We are having enough issues not trusting the victims!"

Bethenny Frankel faces outrage for buying ‘phallic dessert’ while out with her 13-year-old daughter Bryn

Bethenny Frankel has sparked controversy on social media after purchasing an X-rated novelty treat while vacationing with her 13-year-old daughter, Bryn, in Australia.

The former 'Real Housewives of New York' star, aged 53, and her teenage daughter were exploring the attractions of Melbourne when Frankel bought a phallic-shaped, rainbow-colored ice cream as a light-hearted jest.

During the weekend, the former 'Real Housewives' alum provided a glimpse into her Australian vacation with her daughter on social media, just before her "In Conversation with Bethenny Frankel" panel.

In the photos, the mother-daughter duo could be seen exploring Melbourne along the Yarra River. Their adventure included enjoying a multi-colored, glittery dessert from Mykiki, which bore a resemblance to certain body anatomy which users felt was "highly inappropriate".
