Bethenny Frankel has a message for Joy Behar.
“So, Joy Behar took a swipe at me on The View. Whoopi [Goldberg] mentioned I was talking about the [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit] show, saying that none of us looked the way that we looked two hours prior. It took a lot of work and glam teams,” Frankel, 54, shared in a TikTok video uploaded on Sunday, June 8. “Joy’s response was, ‘I appreciate her candor, but she has fake boobs.’ And these are a lift from, like, 20 years ago.”
Frankel further explained that she had “saggy, floppy” breasts in high school.
“This is actually a lift, Joy,” Frankel continued. “But the thing that that [fashion] show really illustrated was that women my age and older, women of a certain age, can live their lives freely with happiness and with joy, and that we’re not washed-up, miserable older women.”

“You have to be really miserable to take a swipe at something that is literally self-deprecating and literally leveling the playing field, saying, ‘Yeah, we all look like this, but we had a lot of work that day,’” Frankel continued. “She had to kick someone when they were already saying they’re down.”
She added, “Sadly, Joy is painting the picture of the older, seemingly miserable, washed-up woman that all of us are trying to show that we aren’t.”
Alongside what she said in the video, Frankel appeared to reference Behar in her caption on the clip.
“You should live your life with Joy,” the reality TV alum wrote.

Frankel’s TikTok video came after Behar’s conversation during a recent episode of The View discussing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit fashion show during Miami Swim Week earlier this month. The show’s hosts were reacting to a separate social media video Frankel posted on June 2, in which she discussed her preparation for the runway show.
“Well, I admire her candor, but her boobs are still fake … just saying,” Behar said. Sara Haines responded, “Of course, no one wakes up like that.”
Behar quipped, “That’s not true. I wake up exactly like this.” She also discussed her own breasts.
“I said to my husband the other day, ‘My boobs are hanging so low now that they’re touching my knees,’” Behar said. “And he says to me, ‘No wonder you keep tripping.’”
