Bethenny Frankel Mocked Over Travis Kelce Drama

It seems like Bethenny Frankel cannot escape criticism for her opinions on Travis Kelce, even after she's moved on from the topic.

The former Real Housewives of New York star took aim at the Kansas City Chiefs tight end following his Super Bowl win earlier this month.

In a couple of rants to Instagram she compared him to a caveman and predicted his relationship with Taylor Swift would not go the distance because they were both "peacocks," which according to Frankel meant they both needed to be the center of attention.

Frankel faced fierce opposition to her comments, with many slamming her for sharing her thoughts on people she has never met.

While she has not addressed the famous couple since, one person has gone viral on social media mocking Frankel's videos.

The TikTok and X, formerly Twitter, account known as BravoB****Fest posted a video pretending to be Frankel, after one of their followers requested it. The person appeared using a filter to exaggerate their facial features and a voice changer which made them sound more high-pitched.

"I figured it out, I figured it out," the parody video began. "Travis Kelce is the peacock in the relationship. And it's not gonna work. Because guess what? Taylor's also a peacock. Everyone knows you can't have two peacocks in a relationship. It's basic relationship math."

The video went on to mock Frankel who said she had previously dated someone similar to Kelce and "dating him was like driving with no brakes."

"It was so much fun, because if there's one thing I think of when I think of driving a car with no brakes, I think: 'Wow. I'm having a blast.'"

"Just saying it's gonna be interesting to find out how this all turns out when she finally realizes that, he's a peacock and he needs so much attention. And then what she gonna do?" the video continued.

"I could just never be with anyone like that."

They then said as Frankel that Kelce "slid into my DMs" and a lot of "hot guys" do, but "I just don't want them," and poked fun at how she said in one of her rants that she was "insular" and liked to stay at home.

"I know everyone thinks I'm 'Miss New York City' and stuff, but I really am very insular... seriously can you imagine being with someone like that who has to pick up the microphone to be the center of attention and let their opinions be heard? Could you imagine what it would be like to be around someone like that all the time?"

Newsweek has contacted Frankel's representatives by email for comment.
