Mentioning, eating and showing it all.
Bethenny Frankel chowed down on several pieces of crab and crawfish in an “unfiltered” video on Monday.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum sat in her Atlanta hotel room wearing pajamas, a bib, a singular plastic glove and under eye masks as she made her way through a massive plastic bag filled with various items from a seafood boil.
“I order in food, and the first thing I saw was the quickest thing that came was like Old Town Crab, and they said crawfish, crayfish, crawdaddies and Dungeness crab,” Frankel said of the haul.
Throughout the video, Frankel, 52, talked while simultaneously taking bites out of crab legs, cracking shells and licking her fingers.
The Skinnygirl founder gave viewers a look into her DIY setup which included using the hotel’s yellow leather tray with a “tarp” over it and a silver champagne bucket holding one of the plastic bags of seafood.
“I didn’t know that it was coming like in a trough, and so I’m in a hotel room thank God, because at my own house, I’d have to sell my house,” she continued while biting the shell of a cooked critter.
Frankel proudly showed off the crab cracker the restaurant gave her, but also explained she needed a metal fork for “digging down,” and even demonstrated her downward motion with the utensil before cracking another crab leg.
“I’m one of those people that lives for stuff like this that’s like fun and gimmicky, like did you ever get the mallet with the crabs in Maryland? Dungeness is sick I love stuff like this, I love…” she gabbed, before picking out a piece of shell from her mouth.
Frankel raved that the $50 spread was “insane” while holding up a leg to her mouth and gnawing off a piece.
“Take a shower after. This isn’t good for like a night out unless you’re getting real freaking down and dirty,” she encouraged her viewers while taking another bite and licking the thumb of her hand without the glove.
The Bravolebrity received mixed reviews from fans, with some applauding her for being “relatable,” while others could’ve gone without seeing her “scarfing down” the seafood.
“bethenny scarfing down seafood in her hotel room is truly one of the most chaotic and terrifying things i’ve ever seen #rhony,” one person tweeted along with the video.
“why is she like this 😭,” someone asked.
“She just needs to keep the food out of her mouth it’s really disgusting I can’t even understand what she’s saying & I’d like to!” another person tweeted.
“Every time I see Bethenny Frankel cook something it is always so pasty white sloppy crunchy vinegary and salty. Like why is she that rich just eating chum on tik tok [sic] gossiping with hot peppery breath,” one user wondered.
“why is she in a dark room eating a seafood boil while looking like a goblin?!” another user asked.
“This is gross to watch,” a person simply put it.
“This woman is unhinged,” someone chimed in.
However, some people stood up for the mom of one or admitted they were both entertained and also “disturbed.”
Can’t get enough ‘Real Housewives?’
“This is equal parts HORRIFYING and the funniest thing I have ever seen I’m crying. Laughing and soooo disturbed at the same time lol,” someone acknowledged.
“100% same, I was crying laughing and also so haunted,” a user replied.
“I’ve never seen someone talk this much while also eating this much and I’m both terrified and impressed,” another person added.
Several other fans expressed their confusion and concern as to why Frankel was eating seafood after famously having a few near-death experiences over her fish allergy.
“I am allergic to fish – not seafood – my whole life, I’ve never been allergic to seafood,” Frankel clarified on her Instagram Story on Tuesday after receiving hundreds of comments about it.
