Bethenny Frankel’s protracted, messy custody battle is finally over. Last month she finally reached an agreement with her ex, Jason Hoppy, on coparenting their four year-old daughter. The former couple’s custody battle played out in the press, with each side accusing the other of petty, mean-spirited tactics like trash-talking the other parent in front of their daughter. Jason claimed that Bethenny once removed all of their daughter Bryn’s personal items, including clothing and toys, from his apartment, leaving the child without anything familiar when she stayed with her father. Bethenny claimed that Jason fed Brynn meat, despite the fact that Bryn had been raised vegetarian.
Here’s another example of Bethenny behaving poorly. She Instagrammed the above picture where she’s wearing Bryn’s Hello Kitty pajamas. Bethenny captioned this photo “This is my daughter’s nightgown and PJ shorts. Think we’re ready to start sharing clothes yet?” What I gather from this is that Bethenny is happy that she’s the same size as a four year-old, which disturbs me.
People on Twitter and Instagram are of course going crazy over this, and I’ll quote some of the comments that stood out for me.
I used to admire Bethenny Frankel. Now, not so much. . . http://t.co/tV5l1LnLZo #bodyimage

There is definitely something nutty about this. While I wouldn’t body shame Bethenny for being so tiny, I would call her out for wearing her four year-old’s clothes and posting the pic to social media. That’s not ok.
What happens when that poor kid grows in a few years and is larger than her mom? Is Bethenny going to body shame her into losing weight? Does she see her four year-old as some kind of competition? I don’t even want to think about it. Bethenny probably thinks it’s harmless fun.

I vote gross.
Is she mentally ill?
Lol, that made me burst out laughing.
I vote very gross.
Well I think this just confirms it.
I’m not a doctor, but it doesn’t appear that she’s firing on all cylinders. Her poor child…
Yeah, I’m not professionally qualified to make a diagnosis – but it does seem like this woman has some pretty *serious* boundary issues if she’s already feeling this competitive towards her daughter regarding body size. The kid’s four years old, for goodness’ sake.
“Is she mentally ill? ”
LMAO!!! The answer: yep!!!!!
I do believe she is a self-confessed bulimic, and she took pride in dating a rapist, so there’s that.
Yikes! This is hopefully not a sign that she will be body-shaming her daughter in the future in order to make herself feel good about her own body. Frankly, my husband would be thoroughly disgusted if I lacked curves to the point of fitting into toddler clothes. I’m small, but there’s small and then there’s freakishly bony, lack of muscle tone and skin quality, tooth and nail decay….but I digress. You get the point.
Looks like it
That was my first thought. That this is not a well person.
I’ve no idea who she is, but this woman is bonkers. Erk.
I don’t think she’s mentally ill (there are a ton of ill-advised photos floating around the web. christmas card photos come to mind). I also don’t think that’s her daughters clothes. She might be tiny, but from the pictures of her with the child, they are NOT the same size. Not unless she’s buying over-sized clothes for her child.
http://www.pleated-jeans.com/2011/12/13/the-25-funniest-family-christmas-portraits-of-all-time/
Me too
Yeah, that’s f*cked.
I think the Judge in her custody case should have seen this – shows what poor choices she will make in the future as a parent- really very weird and desperate for attention it seems-
I agree – Bethany’s behavior is troubling. I can’t imagine what would possess her to try the pajamas on in the first place. I personally think she is disgusting.
I’m not grossed out, its just weird. Like, why would you do this? What is the end game? The problem is there’s no answer to that question that isn’t weird.
Another example of the idea that just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean you should.
No matter what she’s wearing or doing she is always gross.
Amal’s peignoir?
I wonder if this will start a new trend (or maybe it’s already happening) of narcissistic wackadoo body image disorder types who like to perversely infantilize themselves and attempt the sexaay at the same time, shopping in the toddler section of department stores.
Ashleigh: “Omg, Look Ashley, I can fit in a ’12-14 months’ pair of Hello Kitty leggings!”
Ashley: “Awww, no fair Ashleigh! I need to seriously lose some weight so I can be in a ‘3-6 months,’ Carter’s t shirt by the time my Cabo trip rolls around b*tch. Hate you.”
LMAO!! 😀
Amal’s peignoir
Everything this horrible excuse for a woman/mother does is gross. And this particular act of vanity by Bethenny suggests a very rocky road for her little daughter once she’s reached her teens and is blossoming into womanhood while her mother is on the wane. God, I pity that innocent kid, I truly do.
Agreed. I hate myself for clicking this.
Gross is right! She’s a try hard
Michelle Pfeifer did it first in that movie where she spilled something on her shirt and had to change into her son’s white t-shirt.. that’s where the whole 90s tiny tees trend started..
You all know she was elated they were the same size and was expecting all manner of “Ooh, wurq it girl” “hot Bod” comments.. UGH
EXACTLY! QQ nails it again! This chick is too much. I can’t even. Sharing clothes with your four year old. Nothing wrong about that, nope. Ugh.
Poor Bryn. 🙁
Agreed. She looks so gross in this pic, and the lighting is doing no favors for her haggard jowls. On top of that, the children’s clothes and joker face make her come across as a maniacal clown, who forgot to put on her full face of make-up and red nose, or, better yet, the woman two doors down from my grandmother in the assisted living home, who insists on surrounding herself with Cabbage Patch dolls and Strawberry Shortcake memorabilia. Either way……WEIRD.
I immediately thought of the joker too when I saw her face. Then I scrolled down and saw the pajamas and decided she’s certifiable. Ew. Sad. Seriously. Sad.
You hit the nail right on the head.
Yup. I mean, who the hell even tries on their kid’s clothes? Under what circumstances, if not deep insecurity and pathetic competitiveness? Scary lady.
EXACTLY! …This just screams eating disorder. today she’s saying she just did it to make her daughter laugh. So why did she have to show the world? She was proud & wanted to ‘show off’. ugh
Yes, exactly! Sad thing is, I’m sure she did get a few of those comments from the portion of her fan base that shares her disorder. Bear in mind she has made her fortune marketing alcohol to anorexics.
Is that why Skinny Girl cocktails have a vomit inducing taste?
Genius!
You are 100% right. I see her as thinking this would make people jealous of how thin she is or congratulate her. Instead, we just see her as crazy and looking like the Joker.
Her face in that photo reminds me of the Black Dahlia. Or maybe I just don’t like her.
Wow, I was thinking Joker, but Black Dahlia is a good comparison as well. Very creepy.
You have said it all!
Is she lying? Because she’s wearing matching slippers – and her flipping FEET cannot be the same size as a 4 year olds, right? So maybe she bought the outfit and pretended it was her daughters? I have no idea if this would be better or worse….
I agree……no way are those clothes a size 4T. She just bought a larger size and she is a certifiable major mess as a mom.
Gross. And stupid.
What a first-class imbecile 🙁
What would make you think it was a fun idea to put on your daughter’s nightgown as a top, and wear her pj shorts as hot pants, and then post said photo to social media? What a strange, disturbing woman.
Oh, is that what that is? That makes a lot more sense that it’s a nightgown! I was thinking there is no way that is her 4yo daughter’s top. She would be drowning in it.
Dear Bethenny,
normal parents should say “I can’t wear your clothes silly – you’re 4 and I’m 40-” sad that she can’t figure out why this is inappropriate on many levels- but then there are parents out there that don’t understand why you can’t leave a baby in a hot car either-
what ammunition for your ex when he sues you for custody again- parents can lose custody of their kids for this type of ridiculous lack of parenting skill-who puts their 4 yr olds clothes on then posts it for the world to see- have you lost your mind!
Ugggh. Soo gross!
This is sick. I feel like she’s proud of fitting into a 4-year-old’s clothes and wants to “show off.” There is nothing wrong with being naturally slender and tiny – but this has a very weird feel about it. I also get the competition vibe!
Well, at least Bethenny isn’t wearing a diaper and bib.
I also found it strange that she was carrying the child in her arms. Obviously she can walk at age 4. Then there is a shot of the kid in a baby stroller. Is this a celeb thing, new york thing or what?
Madness.
Gross
They don’t even fit. But it definitely confirms fears that she’ll body shame her daughter later on
She doesn’t have body issues…nope…
this is very, very strange. bordering on some mental disturbance-level crap (in my layperson’s opinion). her husband should take this $hit to the judge to have her evaluated by a shrink, since this sort of crap will DEFINITELY have an impact on how she parents their daughter.
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering. I think it’s incredibly disturbing, but I also think there is a real possibility that she is genuinely very sick.
I’m sorry I laughed. I thought you were kidding.
I guess I need to retire my Hello Kitty cosplay. JUST KIDDING. I’m more of a My Little Pony kind of girl.
My Little Pony, pretty Pony,
I love to brush her beautiful hair….
Mentally ill whaaaat?
It’s fine that you laughed, GNAT. I wouldn’t feel bad about it.
There was no question in my mind, mimif, even before I knew of your pony proclivities. You like Fabio, for crissakes. If anything says crazy, well….
I just reported your comment as spam.
@mimif
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE
@mimif…I guess I should have added a disclaimer that I was only teasing you, because I was.
Haha I love it! And I know you were, Kiddzilla. 99% of the time I’m teasing too. 🙂
WTF?! How disgusting is it to be taking and posting pics wearing your toddler’s underpants, FFS! I feel for this child-she will be vomiting and fasting by the time she’s ten. Maybe Frankel will IG that, too! “Both of us Keepin It Real” or some shit. Sick, sick stupid woman.
I agree. There is something not right with her. I get a really creepy vibe and I worry about her daughter in the years to come. I definitely think she will see her daughter as competiion in the future and will body shame her, etc. Her daughter looks a lot like her ex-husband and I can see that being an issue later. Just the way she’s handled this whole custody thing proves to me she doesn’t have her daughter’s best interests at heart. I think she’s greedy, selfish and narcissistic. Didn’t she make her ex buy her a bigger diamond ring after he proposed because she thought the one he gave her was too small?
Agreed. Yikes.
In a domestic FAIL the other day, Mr Sixer put one of Sixlet Major’s clean t-shirts on my laundry pile. Being a complete fashion-phobe and belonging to the school of thought that the correct item to wear on any given day is the one on the top of the pile in the closet, I wore it without even registering that it wasn’t mine. Sixlet Major had forty fits, died quiet, and threatened never to wear said t-shirt again, such was his horror at the sight of his mother wearing it.
So no, Bethenny, no. Even the kids think it’s weird.
Ahahah, at least yours was accidental. Kids are so easy to mortify.
That’s one of the fun parts of having kids… mortifying them.
But Bethenny… this woman takes it too far. She has so many issues she needs a subscription.
So funny. Love sixlet stories.
Very gross and she’s always been creepy to me but now takes the cake
Probably a controversial opinion, but I’m not a fan of the term ‘body shaming’, especially in this instance. Bethenny has a lot of well known issues with food, and I feel like its an easy way to obscure the topic (though I also understand that Celebitchy places a priority on the site being tolerant and welcoming of all).
Does the term narcissistic a**hole work better? Bethenny has a lot of well known issues period. It doesn’t let her off the hook for being a jerk, and a bad person.
Yikes! This has arrested development written all over it, and kind of provides way too much insight into the mind of the body obsessed. I wouldn’t body shame someone for being tiny, but she works pretty hard at being that tiny. Ladies I know of this size who come by it genetically NEVER try to dress like children.
Eh. Whatever. My kids can still fit into some of their preschool clothes, because of the weird way that bodies grow (arms and legs much more than torso after a certain age) and they’re taller/larger than Frankel is. It reads more like a dumb joke than anything else to me.
(I don’t follow Frankel, at ALL, except what you post here. Is she super disordered about her body or something?)
That is how I read it too-as a joke. I haven’t really “followed” her since her last appearance on Real Housewives of NYC but she was always kind of left-field on issues and how she behaved.
A few months ago I was doing laundry and put on my daughters favorite snoopy tshirt. Long story short: I looked like a bloated sausage. My daughter laughed at my goofiness. No, I didn’t post the photo to social media. And I’m definitely bigger than said daughter but making her laugh was worth making a fool of myself.
I don’t know what motivated this lady to pull this stunt. Was it to make a crying child laugh? Or was it vanity?
If vanity, then the lady has issues. If she was doing it to humor her child, I’ll give her a pass.
I honestly believe this was a “World, look how skinny I am. I can fit in my 4 year old’s clothes.” She saw it as a good thing that she can fit into her child’s pajamas. I think what makes this picture troubling is that it is Betheny Frankel, who has made being skinny her brand. So, this is telling me that she is proud of how thin she is (which is scarily thin) and she expected people to congratulate – or worse yet – envy her for it.
you hit the nail on the head with everything you said here. She wanted people to congratulate her and be jealous at the same time.
This is how I see it too.
I just wonder… does anyone tell her to stop and think. Like, this may not be a good idea. I would look at that picture, cringe, and then delete it.
I think the sad thing is that Bethenny can’t even stop and think for herself, “Is this actually a good idea to post a picture like this?” She has ZERO self-awareness.
I have no doubt she will be on top of every extra pound that girl carries.
Let’s just hope that poor child dorsn’t end up with some kind of eating disorder because of her idiot mother …
That’s gross and imo she seems to be seriously deranged (in the head). In what world is it ok for an adult woman to (‘proudly’) show a picture of herself wearing the clothes of a 4 yo? That’s SICK. And while I don’t know a lot about anorexia/bulimia, and I don’t want to offend anyone at all, from what I understand this kind of ‘behaviour’ is text-book when it comes to the urge to receive praise for been very skinny. My comment is probably a bit too much, sorry
I get where you’re coming from, Pumpkin Pie, but you’re wrong in applying her behavior to anyone else. I was anorexic as a teen, and the LAST thing I wanted was for anyone to comment on my weight. When I was in treatment, I had group therapy sessions. All of us tended to wear longer, looser, more concealing clothes. Obviously not everybody, but most anorexics have body issues and are the opposite of exhibitionists. Frankel is just a reality star desperate for fame who will do anything to get attention, even of the negative variety. Please don’t lump in those who suffer from a serious disorder and who continually fight it even when they are “cured” and healthy adults with her.
Faye, thanks for that. I was not applying her behaviour to anyone else, that was not my intention and sorry if it came across that way. I should have been more careful in the way I wrote the comment, it’s just that I was reading a lot about certain websites that promote extreme weight loss so that stuck with me. I wrote that comment only along those lines. Again, sorry.
@PumpkinPie – No problem, hope I didn’t sound too defensive. There are many “pro-ana” sites, sadly, but they mainly focus on tips for people to be really thin (in a not healthy way), not exhibitionism, I believe (I try to stay away from such places).
In any case – I think we can agree Frankel is just gross -and shame on the mother of a daughter for acting like this.
Thanks Faye 🙂 Tbh I got the impression you sounded a bit defensive – and that’s OK, but that’s my interpretation. On the other hand, I hope I didn’t sound offensive.
And YES with can agree that she is gross, and shame on her.
For me it was both. If family or friends frequently commented out of concern about my weight then I would be furious and scream at them to leave me alone. Then again, if I went for a week without someone telling me I was “too skinny”, I would feel like I was failing and would usually end up starving myself more to compensate for that perceived failure.
Basically, I required the negative attention to confirm that I was thin but I didn’t want the attention if it was attached to concerned behavior that might lead to someone deciding to intervene in my habits.
EDs are full of contradictions but then again, it’s a disorder–it’s not meant to be logical to anyone except those that are suffering from it.
@TheOriginalKitten – Yeah, I’ve heard that side of things – I just don’t think it’s accurate to conflate Frankel’s behavior with that of a typical anorexic. I don’t think she’s genuinely eating-disordered, I think she’s just a gross, attention-trolling exhibitionist.
Totally trolling
Remember that old MADTV skit with Stuart “look what I can do” .. Yeah, that’s who Bethenny reminds me of..
YES! That is who she reminds me of – Stuart dressing up as a baby on MADTV!!! The same creepiness. They kind of look alike in the face, too.
I’m sorry but I don’t believe her that those are her daughter’s pajamas. Especially the shorts, 4 yr old pajama shorts are TINY. As an adult, there’s no way you can fit into size 4 shorts, even if you are skeletal. She’s nuts.
My thoughts exactly. I have a four year old who wears a standard 4T and I can barely get my arm into the legs to turn them right side out. There’s no way even a teeny adult could wear them unless she stretched them all to hell/ruined them forever.
yeah, i thought she might be lying about those being her kid’s clothes too…
She needs to quit whatever she’s doing to her face — I’m getting a joker vibe from some of those pics.
Agreed. That’s every bit as disturbing as her wearing her 4 year old’s pajamas.
Also agreed. I think it’s reflective of her many self-image issues. There are celebs with bad plastic surgery, and then there’s the Mickey Rourke/Bethenney Frankel club.
I don’t see what the issue is. She probably does have body image issues, just like most women around the globe. She certainly doesn’t look healthy around the eyes.
Sorry, she may be tiny, but I don’t believe she can fit into 4T clothing. First off, 4T’s aren’t made for breasts and so the cut is different. I have a hard time believing she could even begin to get the shirt on. A 4-year-old has a different bone structure and so I don’t believe she could get the shirt over her shoulders and boobs and rib cage. And the fact that she has matching slippers also is telling. Either she went out and purposely bought slippers for the outfit, or she bought a size kids 12 outfit and wants us to believe this is her 4 year olds. Either way, it shows premeditation to wanting this attention.
Yeah it’s sick and disturbing and reveals above all else her narcissism.
Bc why on earth would she post this on social media? So desperate for attention that this seems like a good idea?
Smh
I know only what has been in the press about her over the past few years but I dislike this woman and do not trust her.
I guess the top is a nightgown for the kid, so it’s probably a loose fitting item … but still. I don’t have kids, or neices/nephews, so I really don’t know how kids clothing runs.
I was thinking the same thing. I have nieces around that age who would be swimming in those pjs. Also, no matter how thin you may be, adult bones are just longer and wider than kids’; adult organs, muscles are bigger.
If she bought older kids’ pjs and claimed they were her daughters’, somehow that’s even grosser.
THIS. I can fit in children’s clothing (granted extra large and my DDD chest doesn’t like the compression) but that outfit is nowhere near toddler sizing. If she said she fits into a child’s medium, I’d buy it and that’s what I think she’s wearing. It’s impossible for an adult to fit toddlers clothing based on body structure.
This woman needs help if she thought this was a good idea to announce to the world
That’s creepy. She looks so proud of herself, too.
i wonder whether this is about her liking that her body can still fit into kids clothes, or whether she likes playing kiddies (i don’t know what you call it; i saw it on documentary channel the other day).
either way, her daughter shouldn’t have to see this, i don’t think.
How much attention does this nutbag need? This is so intentional. We’re all supposed to be saying Oh you’re so skinny Bethanny, how cool. She is 100 pathetic.
Gross.
Next?
she should spend the energy she expends on seeking attention on a more worthwhile pursuit.
she comes off needy and desperate.
I am shocked there isn’t more shock about this. Bethenny has admitted to bulimia, breast implants (she called it a ‘lift’ for the longest), and her ’empire’ is ‘Skinnygirl.’ One of the divorce allegations was that in her new children’s book, targeting little girls, has the Skinnygirl logo shown in subtle ways across the entire book.
She is competing for who is cutest and skinniest with her 4 year old! She has alone time with her kid, put her on a vegan diet (when neither she nor her child’s father were raised vegan OR were practicing vegans: Bethenny markets recipes and demonstrated recipes with meat on her talk show), had her daughter 5+ weeks early and gained, maybe, 20 pounds in pregnancy. This is seriously fucked up, and I don’t care if I seem judgmental about this. Bethenny has consistently made her own food issues more important than making reasonably decent decisions about her vulnerable little kid and it’s disgusting.
She also originally said she didn’t really want children,then she had an about face and suddenly became mother of the year in her own world (which I always wondered if much of it was basically for tv) and spokesman for motherhood, in her mind. I hate when some celebs do that,not all,but some just seem to go overboard. I think Bethanny definitely has major issues many of which you highlighted above. I can only imagine what her daughter in a decade will be going through as a teen, with Mommie Dearest.
I agree that Bethenny is screwed up, but I remember watching her on Housewives, and she always talked about wanting children. I think she wasn’t sure about marriage but wanted to be a mother. That said, I do pity her daughter. Her mother is such a narcissist.
Miss T: Yes. Because everything on Housewives is 100% true/accurate… Bethenny was playing up that angle bc she wanted her own spin-off show. Shocking.
She’s a nut, but I’ve never once heard her say she didn’t want children. At one point she thought maybe it wasn’t in the cards for her because of her age and no boyfriend after the other one dumped her, but other than that she always wanted children from the previous boyfriend on. Then Jason came along and didn’t use birth control and neither did she and wallah.
Jayna, I love that you separately identified that neither he nor she used birth control – each consenting party is individually choosing unprotected sex, it’s not that “they” as a unit didn’t use birth control: he didn’t and she didn’t. Very nicely expressed.
Very disturbing.
She looks ridiculous… but I think it’s quite funny.
Competing with your four year old is super creepy. Imagine when Bryn is 15?
Gross and creepy!
She looks like she’s having a nervous breakdown that hasn’t registered yet.
Why on earth would she put on her daughters 4T pajama shorts and pose in them for the world.
With her tv show cancelled, her marriage destroyed , her friendships with the former housewives destroyed, perhaps she spends her days rummaging through her 4yr old daughters clothes seeing what fits her? WTF is just peculiar. IMO
I recall reading that her Bethanny and her own mother have a horribly strained relationship, in some way I have to wonder IF something mental is going on with her, that she wants to wear her toddlers clothes. Does she miss having a mother in her own life? All I know is it’s very, very odd and would speak volumes to a therapist perhaps.
Bethenny’s whole life is based on getting skinny, staying skinny, Skinny Girl, different recipes to eat nothing but air to get even more skinny. so this is not so surprising.
Gross simply gross.
I only saw now the mess in the room, leaving stuff on the floor is one of those things that drive me crazy. She could have cleaned the room a bit, or at least the part that shows on the photo. Yikes.
A normal, healthy woman wouldn’t be so proud of fitting into a four-year-old’s clothes. I don’t care how “naturally slender” she is. Her jaw tells me it may not be so “natural.”
Fishing for compliments.
From 4yr olds?
Is it me or does she look like the Joker in that first photo? That’s all I have to say.
The eyebrows are giving me a Joan Crawford vibe.
A scary and sad combo… Joan Joker Crawford..
It doesn’t look like she’s wearing a 4 year old’s pajamas. It looks like she’s wearing teenage sleepwear,but not children’s.
I’m a skin and bones person. My backbone is a row of bumps, and you can see a row of knobs running down my shins. I can hide a breast with the palm of my hand and my ribcage looks like a ladder. I have very pointy knees and elbows, and I cannot fit into a S4 article of clothing. Occasionally I can fit a shirt made for a 12-year-old, but pajamas made for a 4-year-old? No. I don’t think she is in a little girls pajamas either.
By the way, this skin and bones person had a healthy baby boy who had sweaters I could wear for 1 year when he was 14. Dude ended up being 6.5 feet and over 200 lbs.
Yes, in my country it is known that many times tiny thing girls have big bbies. One problem 2 thin friends of mine had, was that the growing babies were taking too much from their mom’s bodies, they really had to take vitamins and be careful at how they ate, etc. One of my friends lost a tooth with each of her 2 pregnancies no matter what she did. They kept on being tiny afterwards.
this woman, I do not buy it. I know some women who are constantly belittling their daughters. She could end up being one of them.
You poor, sick, delusional woman.
I wear my son’s old shorts but he’s 21. He thinks it’s a little strange but I’m a frugal gal.
Because every woman should aspire to fit into a four year old’s clothes! Dear God, no wonder woman have such body issues, seeing nuts like this!
hello kitty in adult sizes is disturbing. I have friends who still wear that garbage and think it’s cute. If you are 30+ time to think something else is cute…
She is trying to look 4, just look at her hair! It’s like a messy 4 year old got out of bed?
Put her on the bus that goes over the grand canyon too.
Meh. I am past thirty and still wear some cartoon based clothing. I see nothing wrong with that. Wearing child’s pj’s is the problem, thinking it’s cool and sexy. That is where I get irritated.
There’s nothing wrong with adults wearing “cutesy” clothing that is appropriately sized. People are so goddamn snotty and judgmental.
hahaha, 44 here and with a cute tiny mickey mouse tshirt!
@ victoria1
I think it’s weird too when grown women wear hello kitty or have hello kitty accessories, like a coin purse. every woman I’ve met that does that is emotionally immature for their age. There’s a 25yr old, with a kid, who has a hello kitty screensaver on her cellphone. I wanna say, you do know you’re a grownup, right? no offense to anyone else intended, jmo.
Attention seeking. I also don’t believe those are 4t clothes.
A gross narcissist, through and through.
I don’t believe those are 4t pajamas, either. The arm holes alone are tiny and the inseam is ridiculously small. I sew girls boutique clothing, and I don’t think there’s any way a woman could fit into them, no matter how small the woman was. This reads like a very sick cry for attention. I can wear my son’s shoes and clothes, but he’s 11. She’s a sick woman.
Ugh, I feel incredibly sorry for poor little Brynn. Bethanny has major issues with her own mother and it’s sad to see that things will be exactly the same between her and her daughter. I can’t believe she doesn’t see this coming.
Maybe instead of rushing to post child pj pics she should tidy up her room first before the idiotic vanity photo shoots begin.
I think she is wearing her daughter’s nightgown as a shirt, and a pair of teen/juniors boyshort underwear. Still weird.
I only know this trick from here and a few TV commercials….but she scares me! I remember seeing something on a commercial called “Bethany gets married” or somesuch…and I was spooked by that commercial ALONE! Who is she again? Why is this living Halloween decoration famous again?? Then a commercial for some talk show…and some other commercial for an alcohol drink called…..”AHEM” “Skinny Girl?!!!!!” Again….who IS this trick? Some real housewife, basketball, big brother, bachlorette, sex tape, fameho??
Seriously! She scares me and I dunno who she even is!!! Get her off my TV and interwebz! Oh the humanity! I haz sadz for us all…..
Didn’t Rielle Hunter already do this only she wore her two year olds onsie?
“I starved myself and all I got was this stupid t-shirt”
😛
GROSS. Bethenny is just gross, all around. She reminds me of one of my friends, completely lacking in any self-awareness whatsoever (which can be incredibly frustrating). Bethenny just has no clue how she comes across to others. She thinks she is amazing and awesome, and that everyone else will of course think the same as her, not realizing that we are actually all disgusted by her behaviour.
Bethenny is truly a very disturbed woman. I don’t think she’s ever really confronted her childhood issues, as they are obviously still greatly affecting her to this day.
She needs help. Her body issues are painfully obvious and will likely pass them onto her daughter if she does not address them.
At what point do we agree that this woman is possibly suffering from a serious mental illness and stop posting about her? Either she has issues or she is pretending to have issues for attention. Either way she needs help.
Can we pull the plug on our end, ignore her and just hope she gets the help she so desperately needs?
And on the Hello Kitty stuff, it’s creepy. Look closely, Hello Kitty has no mouth. No one can hear you scream if you don;t have a mouth.
I feel sorry for this kid already. Imagine when she’s 13 and starts to get a little chubby.. .
Btw, she looks deranged to me and there is something odd about her hair. At first I thought she pulled out a clump but then maybe it’s just an odd partition? Either way, sick, sick, sick.
Years from now, Bryn’s going to need to hide her prom dress from mom, because BF might post a photo of herself wearing it, making sure the viewers notice how it’s too big for her.
Lovely. I have no doubt she’ll pass on her body image issues to her daughter, especially since she looks just like Jason. My mother is about the same size as Bethenny and had/has an eating disorder and she would body shame me and my sister when we went through our slightly chunky teenage years, and continues to do it now but she’s gotten a little more sly with it. If I gain a few pounds she’ll notice and do something crappy like ask for all of my clothes since they “probably don’t fit anymore”, or she’ll say she wishes her butt would fill out a pair of jeans like my sisters but she just can’t seem to gain weight for some reason….avoiding the fact that her diet consists of cereal and cigarettes, lol. Ugh, I feel for Bryn! Hopefully Jason and his parents can keep her sane.
Jess, ew! That’s awful! What kind of twisted person does that to their own daughters ?
I actually don’t think this is problematic.
The kid has some baggy pajamas, and her mom is tiny enough to fit into them (barely) and enough of an attention-addict to think that fact has to go up Twitter.
I don’t like Bethanny (at all), but honestly, I can see myself being dorky enough to do something like this too. The only thing that makes it disturbing is that Bethanny is suspected to have a disordered relationship with food.
My thoughts exactly. The pajamas are likely big on her daughter and Bethenny was able to squeeze into them, though it’s a tight fit. She likely thought it was funny. I’m sure she wants to show off her bod as well, but such is the case for everyone who posts a pic on twitter that shows off their body. I also agree that the only potentially bothersome thing is that Bethenny is rumoured to have issues with food.
I don’t belive those clothes are her daughter’s. Judging from the size difference of her and Bryn there is no way those are Bryn’s clothes. Sadly, if I’m right, this is just a pathetic stunt for attention and compliments.
If I’m wrong then this is a pathetic stunt for attention and
compliments.
But those clothes stretch, so I believe she totally squeezed her skinny but into her four yr olds pants bottoms. She’s got issues.
I don’t care how “fit” a person is – if a grown adult can fit into TODDLER’S clothing they are too skinny!!! That’s also a horrible message to send to her daughter. What happens when that little girl outgrows those clothes and is wearing a size 5 or 6? Will she start worrying because she’s wearing a larger size than her mother and develop an unhealthy body image?
The only reason a woman would do this (real or not) is to show how skinny she is.
[*And she’s liking it.*]
I took it as a joke, poking fun of those women who do wear their daughters clothes but I guess others saw differently.
What is wrong with her Joker face? Why does she have those distinct lines from the corners of her mouth to her temples? This is seriously disturbing on so many levels. Grown women in toddler clothing: bizarre, attention seeking behavior any way you slice it.
Bad fillers. Her face is angular and square as a card board box, so her attempts to soften it will never work no matter how many liters of juvaderm she injects. Her mug almost looks bi-sected in half.
Why would anybody do that???!
This seems like something Bethenny’s mom would do, based on the image she’s put out of her. Which is plausible — whatever awful things her mom did are likely to be repeated by her.
What a skank
This is just gross. I feel sorry for her little girl. I bet it bothers Bethenny a lot that the daughter is the spitting image of the ex. Wouldn’t surprise me at all that she will encourage the girl to get plastic surgery as soon as she’s old enough.
I would hope that she loves her daughter unconditionally but I also think it has to get under her skin that Bryn is the spitting image of Jason.
Why is she even trying on her kid’s clothes? Weirdo.
Gross, pathetic, et.al. My sister died from anorexia/bulimia. I’m sick to death of seeing “celebrities” like this parade around like there’s something socially useful about them starving themselves to death. Get help.
Jeez. This reminds me of that “Family Guy” episode when Peter runs out wearing Stewie’s onesie and says “See, I’m not fat! Me and Stewie wear the same size onesie!” Not that I think Bethenny’s fat, but come on now.
And I’m also calling BS on the idea that those shorts could possibly be 4Ts. Imagine trying to get one of your feet through those tiny leg openings. Even if you could, I doubt like hell 4T shorts are going to fit an adult-sized ass no matter how tiny that adult-sized ass is.
Flew on a flight w her once , going to LAX. She is tiny. When I saw her , I thought she looked the size of my 12yr old neice.
Is there a Hello Kitty Concentration camp somewhere? She looks like the face of death..
Her face truly looks sickly.
I loved her reality show Bethany getting married-but in one episode at the bachelor/bachelorette party a tipsy woman at the hotel walked up to her because she recognized Bethany and after she walked away bethany said something under her breath regarding her weight and that she was tipsy.
I don’t see bethany having lots of female friends do you? lots of women see other females as competition-our sexist society has a lot to do with that. bethany clearly has body image issues based on the vegetarian argument with her husband and her own low weight-I wouldn’t be surprised if she passes it on to her daughter. again, many women i’ve met with low self esteem are extremely competitive with other women.
I vote mentally ill… Or a moron..
I find it odd a 40-year-old woman fitting into a four-year-old’s clothing and thinking it’s cool. Odd. She ought to be a little horrified and put on a couple of pounds.
I don’t understand what the big deal is. So what if she puts on her kids pj’s as a joke. Who cares?
I believe she has serious body issues and looking at her cheek bones, she may even suffer from Bulimia. Something’s just shouldn’t be shared. An adult being able to fit in a 4 yr olds wares is nothing to be proud of. It just shows how sick she really is.
She is obviously still struggling with her eating disorder. I can only imagine how much it’s going to affect her poor, innocent child. I hope her kid is exposed to enough decent people in her life that have healthy body images to undo the damage that DEATHENNY (doesn’t she look like a corpse? face and all?) is doing.
It’s an eating disordered behaviour, I have seen it several times in people I know, the smaller clothes they can fit in the better, the more opportunities to say “Look how skinny I am”, the better. She may have sold the world and even herself on her healthy b.s. cooking, but I’d be shocked if she eats many calories at all, her face still looks bulimic too. This is not to shame an ill person, but they flaunt it and you are supposed to pretend like they are normal/amaze at their tininess at the same time. I have sadly seen even women in their 30’s fall into it while everyone pats them on the back for becoming anorexically thin under guise of fitness. Often women who have young children and lose control of their bodies become obsessive. As an admitted bulimic having a kid will have brought up all her old food issues. She is clearly desperate for attention and whackadoodle to put this online and think it’s cute.
While she is tiny and clearly proud of it, I call BS. There is no way you’re going to fit into a 4 year old’s clothes like that. The average 4 year old is between 30 and 50 pounds and Bethenny has to be at least 100 pounds. Not to mention the shirt wouldn’t come down so low on an adult woman if it’s a toddler’s shirt, or even a size 6. This woman is straight up demented.
Take American sizing into the account – if she picked this up at Target, she could fit in it. A bit of stretched out fabric, but definitely doable.
I just don’t see how, but I could be wrong. Maybe if the top she’s wearing is the child’s nightgown? The average 4 year old is maybe 4 feet tall. Whatever is going on, this woman is not right in the head.
Maybe America should just ship Frankel and Keibler off to Giligan’s Island for a very long 3 hour tour.
There’s nothing wrong with this, people, get a grip! You’ve never braided hair and painted your daughter’s fingernails? Your mother has never done that to you? Everybody is taking everything so seriously these days! My God, she’s wearing her 4 y.o. pajamas and is desperate for attention, call 911!
I knew Bethenny is a nut the first time I saw her on TV. Just listen to her and you need no other evidence but this is just harmless fun, mother-daughter’s relationship.
I agree, she’s super blandtastic for me, but if my man came out with himself.stuffed into my 4yr old pjs, with his man belly hanging out I’d say ” get that sh@t off before you stretch it out”. But I’d secretly laugh later on.
We would both laugh before bed. Just because a rexo mommy does the same with the same intentions, we get our collective pjs in a wad. So what. It’s basically reverse body shaming.
too bad she didn’t post this pic during her custody battle – she would only have supervised visitation right now – and anyone that thinks this is normal mother-daughter behavior is as sick as she is – poor ex has to be reminded that psychopath mom is helping raise his kid from this lunatics posting a pic of her wearing toddlers clothes for world to see- the only positive is she has $$$ that can pay for therapy her kid will need-
Already competing with her daughter. Wait till she’s a teen, she’ll brag about fitting into her jeans and her shorts …. this is just the beginning. The little girl will end being daddy’s girl.
Aaaaaaa! Scary. The joker has eaten a small child and is now wearing her clothes.
This stunt just highlights how underweight she is. The reason her face looks so harsh, is because she’s underweight. If she weighed more, her face would look more filled out. I don’t understand how she got married in the first place, her husband actually looked normal. She is a nutty, self-involved woman, I don’t know how he couldn’t see that from a mile away. Not to mention her obvious issues with her body. Yes, her body looks toned, not skeletal, but you can tell by looking at her head, she’s underweight. her head looks too big for her body. I hope she gets help.
Many blind items and rumors that Bethany abuses laxatives. I believe one reason she settled with Jason was because he was going to reveal her secret and take down her brand.
I have a friend who has a serious eating disorder and was still wearing Australian size 6 jeans when she gave birth at 35 weeks. (Size 6 Australian is size 2 US).
She put on about 4 kg (8.8 lbs) her whole pregnancy and then had to have an emergency caesar at 35 weeks because the baby had stopped growing.
My point? ED’s screw ya head up, massively. This friend of mine would have had no intention of harming her baby but her ED was so severe she just kept on drinking her one green smoothie a day and eating her tiny handful of goji berries.
This woman (I have no idea who she is) is not only unfortunate looking, she has a very serious ED. Why would you wear your toddler daughter’s jamies unless you wanted to show off how skinny you are? Terrifyingly disturbing : (
Did anyone ever think this was a joke. I mean look at her four year old and look at those clothes. Do you really think her daughter would not be swallowed by those clothes. It is kinda like the Steven Spielberg picture with the dead dinosaur.
Well, as someone who has suffered from eating disorders, I think Bethany is an idiot at best for doing something like this and trying to pass it off as a joke. I do think she is an ill person who has convinced herself and others who buy her brand that she is “healthy”.
Anyone who has starved or purged as she has knows that aspiring to fit in weirdly teeny clothes is an unhealthy aspiration, and she should know better. It is sending an unhealthy message to anyone with an ED who aspires to Bethany levels of thinness, it will be perceived as a thinspiration message and code (and I know they take it wherever they can find it, but still) to the thousands of people who are in the grip of this disease. As someone who puts her brand out there as a health and wellbeing diet guru, this is simply idiotic on her part. Many eating disordered persons transition into extreme “healthy”, low cal eating in adulthood as a sham for maintaining their unhealthy body weight. She has shown her true colors here and any disingenous b.s. she follows up with will hopefully fall on deaf ears and people will stop buying her b.s. She is a pestilence looking to spread anorexia under guise of health. If you’ve never suffered from it maybe you can’t see it, but for anyone who has it’s plain as day.
The amateur psychologists in these comments just make me laugh. There’s nothing ‘disturbing’ about this. Bethany is just tiny. She’s always been tiny. So she can fit into her daughter’s pajamas. So what? Get lives people. And find something really ‘disturbing’ to be outraged about or you’re really looking pathetic.
I concur with nearly every comment above (with the exception of @Michelle #93).
Just simply freaking odd. Whether they are her kid’s clothes, Wal-Mart/Swap Meet clothes, “adult versions of kids’ clothes,” or whatever; I hear Cray Cray bells ringing, again, and again, and…
I’ve met Bethenny in person, and she’s terrible. Very stuck up and rude to everyone. I’m not surprised she would do this and flaunt it on social media.
I can’t stand Bethany but this seems so overblown to me. Seriously, what’s the big deal? The kid probably bbb plays “dress up” in her Mom’s clothes and thought it would be funny to see her Mom in her clothes. It’s being blown way out of proportion to me.
There are way more valid reasons to find her annoying than this. I’m convinced that some of this outrage is from women who are pissed that she is thin enough to fit into a toddler’s outfit. Neither point is cute.
