NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The 'Real Housewives of New York' alum Bethenny Frankel continued poking fun at luxury clothing brand Chanel. The Bravo show star recently got a Chanel tattoo which she noted as 'meaningful.' Bethenny posted a video on her TikTok during her visit to Vibes Ink Tattoo in Riverhead, New York, where she got a fake body tattoo painted on.

The reality star and entrepreneur documented the experience in two TikTok videos, beginning the first clip by standing outside the establishment. She said, "Come with me to get a tattoo. Let's do this." Bethenny then introduced the tattoo artists to her viewers and noted, "Family business: husband, wife and son... respect."

The Bravo show star then shared a selfie, standing herself in front of the room where she would soon get her tattoo done. Eventually, the 'RHONY' alum sat down for her consultation with the tattoo artist, and told him, "I want something meaningful."

The video concluded with Bethenny getting the Coco Chanel logo painted on her upper right arm, which was quite 'meaningful' to her following a recent incident at the store. The luxury retailer had denied her entry because she was dressed casually. However, she recently shared another video and noted in the caption, "Banned from Channel for life."

Bethenny Frankel tearfully shares her divorce story in new video

Bethenny Frankel has recently tearfully opened up about her divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy. She was embroiled in a nearly 10-year legal battle with her ex-husband. Despite initially filing for divorce in January 2013, the process wasn't finalized until 2022.

The former 'RHONY' shared in her YouTube video caption, "A while before my mother’s passing, I recorded this part of my challenging divorce story. I’ve struggled with how much to share given that it’s important to me to be transparent about issues and cautionary tales that can help others."

She called the process 'torture' and the 'worst experience of my life is an understatement'. The Bravo star added, "It affected my health, my confidence, my work, my trust, my faith and my choices. I thought I could never be happy again yet now I am… and you can be as well."
