Radziwill & Frankel: Feud Rekindled Over New Cafe

Eight years after their infamous reunion showdown, the animosity between Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel appears to be ongoing. Radziwill, ahead of her return to The Real Housewives of New York City season 16 on September 8, recently 'liked' a TikTok criticizing Frankel's new Supermodel Café.

The influencer in the video suggested Frankel's "Skinnygirl" brand is no longer relevant and that her Supermodel Café, with trademark applications for pizza and cheesecake, represents "easily transitional branding." Frankel's team stated that a stop-work warning issued to the café on August 13 was due to overwhelming launch-day attendance and not a closure requirement.

The former RHONY co-stars' relationship fractured during season 10 in 2018. Both women departed the show shortly after. Their public exchanges have continued, including Frankel's commentary on Radziwill's connection to Jeffrey Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. Radziwill has denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes, explaining her past social interactions.

Frankel, in February, alleged that Radziwill had "taken many opportunities to swipe at me" since their time on the show. Radziwill, who left RHONY after season 10, with Frankel exiting the following year, is set to return for season 16. Their enduring public spat continues to draw attention years later.
