Bethenny Frankel and Luann De Lesseps Surprise Everyone in a Reunion that Goes Viral: “I Can’t Believe It”

Former stars of the Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps, caused a stir recently when they reunited at a fancy party in the Hamptons.

The frenemies, who have been infamously feuding in the press over the last year, seemingly buried the hatchet in a viral video taken by Frankel.

During the event, Frankel turned to her 13-year-old daughter Bryn Hoppy and humorously remarked, “Guess what, Bryn? I guess life is actually a cabaret,” as she directed the camera towards de Lesseps.

This comment harked back to a tense moment in Season 11 of RHONY when Frankel called out de Lesseps for not being supportive after the death of her boyfriend. At a cast dinner in 2019, Frankel expressed her frustration by saying, “Life is not a cabaret. It is actually not a cabaret.”

The ex-reality star posted a carousel of photos from their shocking reunion, including one in which the three ladies posed with actress Emma Roberts.

“A bougie Hamptons party by day… tonight it’s a cabaret… Hell hath frozen over and I am being cool 😎 and not uncool…” Frankel captioned her Instagram post.

A source later told Page Six that the two women were “excited to see each other and wanted to squash their beef,” adding, “They were able to put their differences aside. They had a lovely time catching up. It’s all love and things are good between the ladies; any feud they had is done with.”

Meanwhile, stunned fans on social media were begging Bravo to pick up cameras immediately.

“I need Andy & a camera now!!!” one wrote, while another added, “Wait Bethenny and Luann reunited?!😱 I’m shaking, I’m physically shaking!”

A third person said, “I don’t think I can forgive Andy Cohen for missing some incredible OG RHONY action – the selling of the townhouse! Luann and Bethenny making up! We could’ve had it all.”

Someone else commented, “This makes me happy.”

Despite making up after their 2019 quarrel, Frankel and de Lesseps had another falling out in March 2023, with the latter reportedly storming out of a Broadway show when she realized she was sitting near her former co-star.

The cabaret star later criticized Frankel’s “reality reckoning,” which called for the unionization of reality shows.

“Why bite the hand that feeds you? Why bite Andy? Why bite NBC?” de Lesseps said at her Christmas show last December, per Page Six. “You know, just go off into the sunset. You make millions and gazillions of dollars. If you claim you do, then why are you still harping on us? Why are you talking about us?”

De Lesseps recently shaded Frankel for getting denied entry to a Chanel store that was holding a private event.

“I have heard, as I am doing British Vogue, she is getting kicked out of Chanel,” she told Entertainment Tonight last month. “So, there you go. Success is the best revenge.”

Now that these two icons have made amends, here’s hoping they’ll be whipping up some eggs à la Française together in no time!
