Bethenny, who has something or another to say about many people in the celebrity world these days, suggested that Rihanna could have done more of a show-stopping show like Pink did in the past. Bethenny said that Rihann’s show “wasn’t even comparable. Pink was just so incredibly passionate.”

Despite this, Bethenny says that Rihanna still had a winning night, mostly because she did such a great job of promoting her makeup line. The reality start said that despite thinking that her performance was not amazing, Rihanna “won the Super Bowl in the beauty category…Rihanna was touching up with her makeup, and her whole entire makeup brand flew and paid for all these influencers to go to the Super Bowl. They’re going to do hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.”

Did Bethenny Frankel Go Too Far?

Many people criticized Bethenny for her comments by writing on social media, “I have never watched anything of hers except various rants posted on social media that end up in my timeline. She seems to have a huge issue with any and every smart, successful and talented black and biracial woman that are loved and have extremely loyal fan bases.

She believes she should get to gatekeep the way men did her, and to do that, she cannot stop punching down and attacking women of colour who aren’t seeking validation to do their thing.”
