Bethenny Frankel looks chic in a bright yellow sequin-adorned sweater as she steps out in New York City… one day after calling for a reality TV strike
Bethenny Frankel looked stylish as she stepped out at ABC Studios in New York City on Thursday morning.
The 52-year-old reality television personality, who recently slammed Bravo for filming Bobby Zarin’s funeral, wore a yellow long-sleeve sweater with a floral sequin design.
Frankel tucked her top into a flowing white maxi skirt that was paired with bright red high-heeled shoes.
The Skinnygirl founder accessorized with several pieces of jewelry and carried a turquoise purse for the length of her outing.
Her gorgeous dark brunette locks were tied back into a tight bun and contrasted well with the bright tones of her outfit.

Frankel’s outing took place just one day after she publicly called for reality television personalities to receive residuals for their work in a video shared on her Instagram account.
In the clip, the media figure claimed that she was given a one-time payment of $7,250 for her work on the first season of The Real Housewives of New York City and that she has not seen a single cent from reruns in the years since.
The entrepreneur also made references to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in her video and attempted to raise awareness of the pay issues that affect reality television stars.
She stated: ‘It just occurred to me, everyone is talking about actors and we don’t get paid s***.’
Frankel then claimed that, although her image had been used for the financial gain of networks, she had not been compensated fairly for her work.
‘I myself have generated millions and millions of dollars in advertising and online impressions being on reality TV and have never made a single residual. So, either I’m missing something or we’re getting screwed too,’ she said.
The media personality subsequently sat down for an interview with Variety, where she expressed that ‘networks and streamers have been exploiting people for too long.’

Frankel also called out network heads for taking advantage of the willingness of hopefuls attempting to carve out a place in reality television.
‘Just because you can exploit young, doe-eyed talent desperate for the platform TV gives them, it doesn’t mean you should,’ she said.
The reality television figure then called for the start of a reality television-centric strike .
‘We should just find out what reality shows are in production right now and say, “Just stop working. Say you’re not going to work unless they take down all the things you’ve done in the past and then we can negotiate for the future,”‘ she said.
