Bethenny Frankel is looking back at the “wild” moment she got “punched in the face” at a New York City bakery.
The “Actual Housewives of New York Metropolis” alum was in Manhattan apartments when she claims she stopped to get a snack and was run over by “this man, this homeless man.”
Frankel, 53, clarified to his TikTok followers in a video on Thursday that the random attack was not done “with a closed fist.”
Although the “completely surprised” Bravolebrity warned her security guard about the attack and he “started confronting the man,” she wanted to “get the hell out of there” and never “provoke” him again.
She recalled: “At that time, I texted the dealer and said, ‘I don’t want to look at apartments anymore. This metropolis is crazy.”
The Skinnygirl creator’s social media announcement comes sometime after she made headlines for commenting on another TikTok user’s video about being punched on a New York boulevard.
“This is crazy because this happened to me a few months ago but I was embarrassed to say it,” Frankel wrote on Wednesday. “I used to be on the UWS (Upper West Side). Insane. I was recording a video of a bakery.”
In her follow-up video, the former reality star denied deleting the comment, as reported.
“It’s a crazy crime wave and I don’t understand it. And I feel sorry for all the other women this is happening to,” she added about the “alarming” evolution of being “insensitive, like, on the street.”

Frankel noted, “I hope this is more of a bizarre development than an actual reflection of the crime, because it scared me in New York City.
“That day scared me,” she continued. “I told my daughter about it because it scares me that she is in the city and generally walking the streets.”
The “Simply B” podcast host is the mother of 13-year-old Bryn, who she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy.
The mother-daughter duo returned from a trip to Australia earlier this week, where they visited an animal sanctuary, picked up phallic desserts and more.
Frankel took a break from protecting the trip on social media to once again applaud criticism of her teen’s outfits in a March 20 Instagram video.
The “mama bear” threatened to “finish” the haters, saying, “You can criticize my appearance, my career, my decisions, my words, but the one thing you can’t criticize is my parenting.”
