Bethenny Frankel Hits Back at Criticism After Walking in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show: 'I Know How Old I Am' - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Bethenny Frankel is defending her recent walk down the runway.

Over this past weekend, the 55-year-old former reality TV star was one of many stars that walked in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show in Miami, Fla.

However, she has faced some criticism for her appearance in the fashion show, with some saying that she’s too old to have been a part of the event.

In a TikTok posted on Tuesday (June 2), Bethenny reflected on her experience and responded to the haters.

“It is so fun because of the women, it’s just all shapes, sizes, heights, ages, races, backgrounds … just amazing women,” Bethenny said in her video.

She then went on to note, “I’m not going to try to be a model. I’m just going to be me and have fun.”

“Now I know how old I am,” Bethenny continued. “I didn’t think about it until last year when everyone made such a big deal about it.”

She addressed those who suggested that she’s too old to walk the runway in a bikini, saying, “Why [do it]? Because I’ll do whatever the f—k I want.”

“Your ass is Jell-O,” she said, imitating some of the haters. “It is Jell-O.”

“I’ve told you f—king 27,000 times … I don’t work out and I don’t want to,” the RHONY alum continued. “I walk. So was I going to do squats for six months? No. Because I’m not that vain.”

“I’m happy,” Bethenny concluded. “People are allowed to be happy.”
