Fans watched Dina Manzo and her daughter, Lexi Ioannou, in early seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And Lexi isn’t one to shy away from speaking her mind. Recently, Lexi called out Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel for not giving proper credit for the gifted shoes from Lexi’s brand.
Dina and Lexi Manzo say Bethenny Frankel didn’t credit her “gifted” shoes
Previously, Lexi blasted her aunt, Caroline Manzo, for supporting Dina’s ex-husband. Reportedly, Tommy Manzo was involved in a terrifying home invasion at Dina’s residence.
Meanwhile, Bethenny recently shared a photo of herself in a sundress via her Instagram Stories. When a fan asked about the shoes she was wearing, Bethenny mentioned a pair at Bloomingdale’s “for the same look.”
In her Instagram Story, Dina wrote, “So odd of you to post a dupe of your GIFTED @shopnou shoes instead of giving a young woman entrepreneur credit.”
Then, Lexi sounded off in an Instagram video, scolding the influencer. “Bethenny Frankel is a weirdo. I sent her a pair of shoes from Nou almost a year ago because I look up to her,” Lexi said. “[She is a] female entrepreneur [and from the] Bravo universe like me.”
She continued, mentioning that Bethenny posted a video “that’s going viral” and that fans asked about the gifted shoes. “Instead of linking them, she linked a dupe with an affiliate link. So, she got the shoes for free from a woman-founded brand, mine, and then she made money sending her followers somewhere else,” Lexi added.
Later, in an Instagram video, Bethenny shouted out the shoes. “The shoes are Nou. N-O-U, I think,” she said.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
