KEY POINTS

  • Bethenny Frankel said Kanye West was a "hypocrite" for tearing his family apart with his online attacks against Kim Kardashian
  • She pointed out the hypocrisy of West posting a screenshot from his daughter's TikTok while complaining that Kardashian let her use the app
  • Frankel acknowledged that West had "some valid points about the things that bother him" in his divorce from Kardashian

Bethenny Frankel has called out Kanye West over his online tirades against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

During Friday's episode of her "Just B" podcast, Frankel, 51, called West, 44, a "hypocrite" for publicly criticizing the mother of his four children and tearing his family apart online while claiming to want to keep his family together.

"You are so, so hating your ex more than loving your child if you’re playing this out in public," the "Real Housewives of New York City" alum said.

Frankel specifically pointed to the rapper posting a screenshot from his daughter North's TikTok to his Instagram while complaining that Kardashian let the 8-year-old use the app in the first place.

"You're a hypocrite because playing this out in public while saying you don't want your daughter on TikTok, posting your daughter on TikTok on Instagram saying, 'I don't approve of her being on TikTok' is moronic. It is hypocritical. It is a bag of bulls–t," the reality star added.

Frankel acknowledged that while the Grammy winner has some "valid points about the things that bother him" in his divorce from Kardashian, she is still "calling bulls–t" over his recent actions.

West and Kardashian, whose divorce commenced in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage, share four kids: North, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2.

Frankel's tone in her latest podcast episode seemed very different from that of her previous comments about West's social media antics. Last month, the former Bravo star called the "Heartless" rapper a marketing and music "genius" on Twitter.

At the time, Frankel faced some backlash over the tweet, which appeared to praise West following the Yeezy founder's disturbing posts about Kardashian and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

"Puzzling choice of words after he publicly did things to her that you too had to experience (from someone else). I remain a fan and sympathetic to you, but an odd thing to choose to tweet about. Giving Kanye any ounce of positive praise right now is terribly uncouth," one person commented on her tweet.

In February, Frankel, who had gone through a public eight-year divorce from her ex-husband Jason Hoppy, gave West some unsolicited advice about his ongoing divorce from Kardashian, telling the rapper to "stay the course."

"You cannot go rogue and take matters into your own hands when it comes to the divorce and custody process. It will only hurt you," Frankel was quoted by Page Six as saying in a previous episode of her podcast. "Kanye, in particular, he's talking into the court of public opinion instead of talking to the court of the custody of your children."

Trevor Noah also questioned West's treatment of Kardashian on his talk show "The Daily Show," prompting the rapper to hurl a racist slur at the TV host via Instagram.

The Comedy Central personality later replied to West, saying in a lengthy comment captured by TMZ that the rapper had a lot of positive impact on his life but that he was heartbroken to see what West had become. Noah also urged West to "know the difference between" fighting for your family and fighting your family.

On Wednesday, Instagram suspended West for 24 hours following his rants against Kardashian, Davidson and Noah.
