<p id=”par-2_23″>Frankel recently posted a video of her outfit. According to Iannou, she was wearing a gifted pair of shoes from her brand, Nou. </p>

<p id=”par-3_45″>“Bethenny Frankel is a weirdo,” Iannou said in an <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DYYQ-fcvZNs/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram Reel</a>. “I sent her a pair of shoes from Nou almost a year ago because I look up to her. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/bethenny-frankel-shares-her-favorite-skinnygirl-product-after-10-years-of-success-and-a-100-million-cocktail-lin.html/”>She’s an entrepreneur</a>, [in the] Bravo universe like me, and she’s been on <em>Shark Tank</em>.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_15″>When people asked where she got her shoes, Frankel posted the link to a dupe. </p>

<p id=”par-5_66″>“She didn’t tag us after wearing the shoes multiple times online — which, okay, that happens. But then, today she posted a video that’s going viral and a bunch of people are asking where the shoes are,” she said. “And instead of linking them, she linked a dupe and with an affiliate link. I guess she’s got to get that bag in some sort of way.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_19″>Frankel directed fans to a pair of shoes available at Bloomingdale’s because the shoes were sold out at Nou. </p>

<p id=”par-7_24″>“So, she got the shoes for free from a woman-founded brand — mine — and then she made money sending her followers somewhere else.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_10″>Her mother, Manzo, called out Frankel on Instagram as well.</p>

<p id=”par-9_44″>“WOW BETHENNY WOW!!” she wrote over a screenshot from Frankel’s Instagram Story. “So odd of you to post a dupe of your GIFTED shopnou shoes instead of giving a young woman entrepreneur the credit. You wear them often so we know you like them???”</p>

<p id=”par-10_23″>Frankel later addressed the situation in a video of her own. She said that she hadn’t linked Iannou’s shoes because they weren’t available. </p>

<p id=”par-11_25″>“The audience gets frustrated when they can’t buy something immediately,” she said. “Why would I wear and talk about it if they can’t buy it?”</p>

Bethenny Frankel Says She Initially ‘Shut Down’ New Romance Because of ‘Breadcrumbing’ </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-12_15″>She said she has no obligation to link to any <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/bethenny-frankel-why-agreed-appear-real-housewives-of-new-york-city-just-7200.html/”>products that brands gift her</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-13_98″>“The business lesson is: there are other lovely things on this person’s site and there are about a hundred brands that will watch this video and will message her to tell her how much product I move — how many Sprinkle cookies for Melissa Gorga, how many dresses for Amy Brooke, how many pairs of jeans for Guess — I <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/bethenny-frankel-from-rhony-isnt-actually-the-wealthiest-real-housewife.html/”>move a lot of product</a> because I don’t bulls***,” Frankel continued. “So, playing the short game and whining and being a crybaby about something that didn’t go your way in business means you’re not a real business person.”</p>

<p id=”par-14_10″>Despite this, Frankel later gave Iannou credit on social media.</p>
