The reality television star Bethenny Frankel blasted Meghan Markle on Sunday hours before her tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey is set to air.
Fox News reported that Frankel took to Twitter to let the world know exactly what she thinks of Meghan hours before the duchess is likely to air the royal family’s dirty laundry in an interview alongside her husband, Prince Harry.
“Cry me a river…the plight of being a game show host, fairly unknown actress, to suffering in a palace, w tiaras & 7 figure weddings for TWO WHOLE YEARS to being a household name w @Oprah on speed dial, fetching 7 m for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals,” Frankel wrote alongside a collage of headlines about Meghan.

Frankel was referring to the fact that Meghan previously appeared on “Deal Or No Deal” and “Suits” before marrying Harry. She also referenced the reported $7 million that CBS paid out to broadcast tonight’s tell-all interview.
Frankel later returned to Twitter to give her thoughts on Harry.
“I 100 give Harry a break. This isn’t the way to generate less press & cannot be filed under the guise of wanting privacy to prevent a repeat of previous events,” she wrote. “If you hate me for saying it here don’t listen to my podcast #justbwithbethenny it’s littered with my opinion.”

Frankel concluded by saying that while she also lives under public scrutiny, she chose this life for herself.
“I chose reality tv, to work towards making $, to be scrutinized & criticized. I took the trappings & the beatings along with it. It’s a rose w petals & thorns. People beg to enter the often toxic institution I signed up for. That WAS the life I chose. You can’t play stupid & smart,” she wrote.
