The clip came shortly after Bethenny took a slight dig at Kim Kardashian after her interview with Goop founder, Gwyneth Paltrow. The Shakespeare In Love actress uploaded a post on Tuesday where she smiled in a selfie with the SKIMS founder.

Also on Saturday, Bethenny shared a follow up video to directly respond to her comment receiving so many likes on the Kim and Gwyneth post.
The star revealed that she didn’t expect that her comment would instill such a response, and further discussed Gwyneth saying that the SKIMS founder has ‘redefined how we think of a woman.’
‘I don’t think it really has redefined how we think of a woman,’ adding that, ‘Gwyneth Paltrow promotes a different world of wheat grass and overnight oats and chia seeds and yoga. So for her to be saying that Kim Kardashian has redefined what a woman is-it just doesn’t track.’
Bethenny explained that instead of claiming Kim has ‘redefined’ women, Gwyneth should have been upfront and stated, ‘…today we are having Kim Kardashian on because no matter what, she is a billionaire boss. And we are all paying for it…’
The star added towards the end of her response that, ‘We don’t need the b*** s**t of the women supporting women. And we don’t need all of the sanctimonious aloe vera cover b*** s**t. We would just like it straight, no chaser.’
In the caption, Bethenny also penned, ‘Just give it to us straight no chaser. We support women, but we don’t support b*** s**t. Cheers to less BS in 2023…’
