Real Housewives of London star Panthea Parker shared that Bethenny Frankel treated her “like a dog,” as she revealed their recent “cringe” encounter at the Hamptons.
In the past year, multiple people have accused the Real Housewives of New York alum of not being so friendly. One of them was Dina Manzo’s daughter Lexi Ioannou, who claimed that Bethenny refused to link the shoes Lexi gave her from her brand, choosing instead to link a dupe to get commission.
On Four Nine, Panthea shared her encounter with Bethenny last month in the Hamptons.
“I was really excited ’cause I’ve heard that she’s like the main Housewife,” said Panthea, via @bravosnarkside on Instagram. “So the minute I got out from the cab, I see her walking to me. I’m like, you can’t make this stuff up. So I go to my friend, ‘I need a picture.’ And she’s like, ‘This is so cringe, so embarrassing, you’re not gonna do it.’ And I’m like, ‘No one’s gonna believe me, I’m gonna do it.'”
“So I go up to her, and I’m like, ‘Sorry, can I have a picture?'” Panthea went on. “[She responded], ‘Just hurry up! … I’ve gotta be somewhere, just hurry up! Just get on with it! Just get on with it!”
According to Panthea, it was “like I was a dog.”
“So I took the picture, and then I went, ‘By the way, Bravo in two weeks, Real Housewives of London is coming on, please watch, I’m on it,'” she recalled, hinting that Bethenny then changed her tune. “And then [Bethenny] went, ‘What’s your name?’ And I went, ‘Panthea Parker,’ and that was it.”

Back in May, Bethenny got called out by Lexi.
“Bethenny Frankel is a weirdo,” said Lexi on Instagram at the time. “I sent her a pair of shoes, from Nou, almost a year ago because I look up to her. Female entrepreneur, Bravo universe like me and she’s been on Shark Tank.”
“She didn’t tag us after wearing the shoes multiple times online which, okay, that happens. But then today she posted a video that’s going viral and a bunch of people are asking where the shoes are [from],” she continued. “And instead of linking them, she linked a dupe and with an affiliate link. … I guess she’s gotta get that bag in some sort of way. So she got the shoes for free from a woman-founded brand, mine, and then she made money sending her followers somewhere else.”
