Bethenny Frankel Faces Backlash After Racist Kmart Rant
"Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel is still facing fallout stemming from a recent rant about Kmart workers.
E! Online reports, following a recent visit to a Kmart store, the 45-year-old reality TV star took to Twitter to post, "Wow @Kmart has 2 registers open w 5 other employees standing around & two speak no English whatsoever. Shoes are sapatos right?"
She later added, "Not even attempting kids' snow boots in Spanish."

In the wake of her rant, many have criticized Frankel over her comments, with some going as far as to label her a "racist."
Reps from the retail giant also ultimately responded, posting on one of their Twitter accounts, "We're upset to hear about your experience yesterday, Bethenny. Would you like to DM us more about it? We're here to help!"
It's unclear if the reality star will take the company up on the offer, but hours after her initial tweet Frankel still wasn't backing down from her original post.
"No excuse for being at a retailer & not able to be directed to what u need. 0 to do w race. I'll explain but can't understand it for you."
As a new season of "RHONY" fast approaches, the opinionated Frankel seems in rare form. Gossip Cop reports she also recently blasted former "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen, after he publicly admitted he suffers from HIV. It was rumored he had not shared news of his diagnosis with some of the women he was intimate with after he became aware of his condition.
Frankel said she doesn't so much as "kiss someone if I have a cold."
Meanwhile, CNN reports Sheen was recently sued by former fiancee Scottine Ross, alleging he failed to inform her that he was HIV-positive.
