She then stressed: “I do not support the actions of all women. I do not support the role model and the example that all women are for other women.”
The TV personality then expressed what she supported, including “equality” and “equal pay” for women.

Bethenny continued, “I support my friends who I’ve had for decades. I support the women I work and have worked with, my partners. I support women in the entertainment industry.”
The mother-of-one then listed a number of women in the industry she “supports,” including Kelly Ripa, Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, Kelly Clarkson and Drew Barrymore.
She also performed Shakira Rain Autry, “the woman who rescued a disabled man in Buffalo and saved his life.”

The clip came shortly after Bethenny mildly attacked Kim Kardashian following her interview with Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow. The Shakespeare In Love actress uploaded a post on Tuesday in which she smiled in a selfie with the SKIMS founder.
In the caption, the honoree wrote that Kim was “fascinating” because “she challenges so many notions of what a woman is supposed to be and how she’s supposed to look and act while doing it.”
The comments section was inundated with mixed opinions about the interview, and Bethenny expressed her own by simply typing “I mean LOL” and garnering thousands of likes from other social media users.

“It’s not fair to women who are just trying to make ends meet. It’s irresponsible, it’s reckless, it’s not inspirational, it’s not ambitious,” the Bravo star told TMZ.

Also on Saturday, Bethenny shared a follow-up video to directly reply to her comment, which garnered so many likes for Kim and Gwyneth’s post.
Revealing that she didn’t expect her comment to provoke such a reaction, the star went on to speak about Gwyneth as she said the SKIMS founder has “redefined how we think about a woman”.
“I don’t think it’s really redefined how we think about women,” he added. “Gwyneth Paltrow is promoting another world of wheatgrass, overnight oats, chia seeds and yoga. So for her to say that Kim Kardashian redefined what a woman is – that just doesn’t add up.”
Bethenny explained that instead of claiming that Kim “redefined” women, Gwyneth should have been candid, saying, “… today we have Kim Kardashian with us because no matter what, she’s a billionaire boss. And we all pay for it…”
The star added towards the end of her response: “We don’t need the shit of women supporting women. And we don’t need all the hypocritical Alo Vera cover b***s**t. We’d like it straight, with no pursuers.’
In the caption, Bethenny also wrote, “Just give it to us with no followers. We support women, but we don’t support b***s**t. Cheers to less BS in 2023…’
