Reality TV star Bethenny Frankel was shamed by Hollywood gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who suggested she vote for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, after she tweeted about an encounter she had with a pair of non-English-speaking Kmart employees.
According to Us Weekly magazine, the Real Housewives of New York City costar was shopping at one of the retail giant’s stores in preparation for Winter Storm Jonas over the weekend, and took to Twitter after she became dissatisfied with the store’s service.
Among the fact the store was only running two cash registers, Frankel, 45, complained that five additional employees were “standing around,” and that two of those workers spoke “no English whatsoever.”
Hilton, who has referred to Trump’s supporters has “mindless followers,” immediately pounced on the reality TV star, who he described as “racist.”
“@Bethenny @Kmart You should vote for @realDonaldTrump. He can help you out with that,” wrote Hilton.
The blogger added: “She thinks she didn’t say anything wrong. Check her recent tweets. #Racist #Ignorant.”
Hilton was not the only critic to suggest that Frankel was racist, or that she should vote for Trump, who who has promised to build a wall to combat illegal immigration.
Hours after first commenting on the non-English-speaking Kmart employees, the Skinny Girl founder commented on the backlash but was unapologetic:
