Bethenny Frankel, right, apologized to Meghan Markle, left, after watching the Duchess of Windsor and her husband Harry Windsor‘s Oprah Winfrey interview.
The reality TV star ripped Meghan and called her “a fairly unknown actress” who is earning “hundreds of millions” of dollars for her short stint as a senior royal.
“Cry me a river,” Frankel tweeted to her 1.5 million followers on Sunday.
“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 [million] for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals.”
But Bethenny had a change of heart after she watched the interview which aired on Sunday on CBS.
“I watched M and H sit down. Emotional distress and racism must feel suffocating and powerless. I am a polarizing, unfiltered (often to a fault) flawed person with a voice. When I heard about the interview, during a pandemic, it felt like a surprising choice. I am sorry if it hurt or offended you.”
A spokesperson for the former royals said the couple was not paid for the tell-all interview. CBS reportedly paid Oprah between $7 million and 9 million.
The interview drew 17 million viewers.
