As far as Get Ready With Me (GRWM) videos go, this one may be the scariest we’ve witnessed in a while.

Bethenny Frankel was innocently applying a roller on her face to help with inflammation on Thursday on Instagram. The ball-shaped suction cup had a handle made of glass. When the “Real Housewives of NYC” alum applied pressure to her skin, the thing broke, unbeknownst to her, until she saw red.

“Wait, I’m bleeding! What the f---!” she screams into the camera.

Frankel then shows followers the gory aftermath: The white washcloth she used to stem the flow of blood is saturated.

“You guys, oh my God! I am actually freaking out,” she says, sounding legit panicked. “I just sliced my face open.”

The 55-year-old, who has a home in Boca Raton, later followed up, saying she was OK and not in pain.

In one of three clips about the incidents, Frankel even managed to throw a joke in the caption:

“I am fine. I’m just shook,” wrote the Skinnygirl founder. “No one said the lord’s work would be easy.”
