Bethenny Frankel's Shocking Warning: Friend's Distracted Driving Sparks Outrage!
SCANDAL ROCKS FLORIDA! Bethenny Frankel's BFF Caught on Camera Texting and Driving, Leaving Fans SHOOK!
Bethenny Frankel is usually known for her sharp wit and sass, but it seems like her friend Sarah Lacharlotte took the phrase "multi-tasking" to a whole new level. The Real Housewives of New York City star shared a video clip on Thursday that left fans gasping in horror as her BFF was caught texting while driving in Florida.
The shocking footage shows Sarah, who's often seen accompanying Bethenny to high-profile events, cruising around with her phone glued to her ear. But what's even more alarming is that she's not just talking – she's also holding her phone and scrolling through messages while behind the wheel! As if that wasn't enough, Sarah admits on camera, "I'm going to have an accident right now because I'm texting... I'm not texting, I'm talking [on the phone] without my seatbelt on."
Bethenny, who shared the video with a tongue-in-cheek comment, said, "My friends are going to cancel you," and boy, was she right! The comments section on thescholarlynote.com went into overdrive as fans expressed their outrage and concern for Sarah's safety – and Bethenny's lack of judgment.
"Is it really that hard to put the phone away while driving?" one viewer asked. Another person chimed in, "I don't care about the termites; I'm worried she's going to cause a real accident with her reckless behavior!" Someone else pointed out, "She looks distracted driving while holding her phone – maybe she should use Bluetooth like everyone else?"
The backlash continued as fans called out Sarah for being irresponsible and putting others at risk. Influencer McKay Cooper even took it upon himself to chime in, saying, "Ma'am!!!! You have the f*g QUEEN [Bethenny] in your passenger seat. Put the phone down. Protect B with your damn life!!!"
The good news is that Florida doesn't make manually entering or reading text messages while driving a crime – but it's still not a good idea! Drivers are prohibited from sending, receiving, or reading texts, and from manually typing or entering multiple letters, numbers, or symbols on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle.
This isn't the first time Bethenny has made headlines for her behavior. Just earlier this week, she faced backlash for walking the Miami Swim Week fashion show in a daring thong bikini. But it seems like her recent move to Florida might have rubbed off on her friend Sarah – and not in a good way!
In an Instagram post after the controversy broke out, Bethenny shared a cryptic message about self-acceptance and body positivity, saying, "It's time for women to start focusing on what's inside... As the internet is so fascinated with my age, my weight, my face, my hair, I can tell you with certainty, every woman that was with me on that stage did not look that way two hours prior." She also went on to reveal that even high-profile celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé put in a lot of work to achieve their flawless looks – and it's time we start being more realistic about what we see on social media.
But let's get back to the real issue here: Sarah's reckless behavior behind the wheel. Fans are still reeling from the shocking footage, and we can't help but wonder if Bethenny knew her friend was being so careless or if she just didn't care. Either way, it's clear that this is a wake-up call for both of them – and for all of us to be more responsible drivers!
