'Real Housewives of New York' star Bethenny Frankel took to TikTok to sound off after Rowland refused to guest cohost the 'Today' show due to a dressing room issue—but fans were not impressed with Frankel inserting herself into the situation.

Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel is never one to shy away from controversy, and it's once again landed her in hot water.

Frankel took to TikTok to criticize singer and former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland for her recently walking off the set of the TODAY show after a disagreement over the show's notoriously tiny dressing rooms.


Frankel called Rowland a "diva" while weighing in on the flap—not that anyone asked for her two cents—and it has not gone well for her.

Tellingly, Frankel has since deleted her TikTok post, but screen recordings have been posted on other platforms.

Frankel said:

“Kelly Rowland walked off the set of the ‘Today’ show because the dressing room wasn’t up to par..."

Rowland was on hand to fill in alongside Hoda Kotb for usual co-host Jenna Bush Hager, but left when she saw the dressing rooms. Guest Rita Ora ended up filling in at the last minute.

Frankel went on to tell of how her dressing room was once even worse than Rowland's when she appeared on TODAY—she claimed all she got was "a dropcloth."

She then explained her other experiences with the show's dressing rooms, which are widely known to be among the smallest in the industry—and chided Rowland in the process.

“Your dressing room is the size of a closet, and you’re trying to fit all your people in the clown car."
"And you know what? You’re so excited. You’re so gracious. You’re co-hosting on the 'TODAY' show—an institution in entertainment, a news organization that is not about fancy dressing rooms.”

Calling appearing on the show an "honor," she then obliquely criticized Rowland again.

“That was not the moment for diva expectations."

On social media, Rowland's fans were furious and quickly put Frankel in her place.









For her part, Kotb has had nothing but nice things to say about Rowland and has said she hopes to have her back to co-host.

Hoda Kotb says she has ‘great love and admiration’ for Kelly Rowland youtu.be

And there you have it.

Nothing ruins a period piece or historical fiction quite like dialogue that's too contemporary for the time, or wardrobe pieces that weren't around then.

There's also an increasing problem in the entertainment industry of actors having what people are calling "iPhone Face" or "Instagram Face," because they have adopted features, through Botox and other treatments, that are attuned to social media but would stand out in a period piece.

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after Belgium knocked Team USA out of the World Cup after a 4–1 victory, with critics resurrecting jokes about former Vice President Mike Pence refusing to certify the 2020 election results.

The jokes are a response to Trump's role in the controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun's eligibility. Balogun had received a red card—the most severe penalty a player can receive on the field—against Bosnia and Herzegovina and was initially set to serve an automatic one-match suspension before FIFA overturned the ban.
