Bethenny Frankel just got stood up for dinner by this Miami influencer. Here’s the tea
If you’re going to stand up Bethenny Frankel, you’re 100 percent going to hear about it on her social media channels.
The outspoken “Real Housewives of NYC” vet did just that Friday night after local influencer Alix Earle didn’t show up for a dinner at Carbone.
In a pre GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video, Frankel told her followers that she was “taking the kids out,” meaning the TikToker and her NFL boyfriend Braxton Berrios.
The reality star says the UM alum reached out to her initially via IM, and they decided to get together. The 54 year old said she was excited to discuss the 24 year old’s alma mater as her teen daughter Bryn has expressed interest in going there.
Welp, it was not to be.
Hours later, Frankel gives an update: Earle never showed up to the fancy SoBe Italian eatery.
In the video, the Skinnygirl founder appears to be in a rideshare car, bopping to the beat of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.”
“POV,” said the text over screen. “A 20 something influencer named Alix stood you up when you could have stayed home in pajamas... #lostmymind.”
In yet another viral update, taking off her makeup, the Bravolebrity explains that while waiting at Carbone, she texted the “Hot Mess” podcaster to tell her where she was seated. That’s when Earle, who apparently felt unwell after recently traveling, called her in a panic, having mixed up the day.
Frankel ended up staying and enjoying the meal solo because “that’s what a grown-up does.”
The women agreed on a do-over the following evening, when the It Girl showed up with a giant apology bouquet. The two personalities were seen at new hotspot The Joyce on Española Way in Miami Beach.
“Given the venue’s exclusivity,” an insider told Miami.com, “their joint appearance quickly became the talk of the town.”
Both Frankel and Earle naturally shared snippets of their evening, and all seemed right with the world yet again.
According to a fellow Joyce patron: “The two were locked in a serious but friendly conversation throughout their almost two hour-dinner. They kept mostly to themselves. The dinner seemed as much like a business meeting as it did a girls’ night out.”
Be on the lookout for a future collab since Frankel, who graduated from Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, recently got a place down here.
“Round 2 was worth the wait,” she wrote.
