Bethenny Frankel has been in sunny St Tropez in southern France all week.
And on Friday, the 52-year-old Real Housewives Of New York City veteran shared some stunning photos from her summer vacation.
The New Yorker wore a plunging swimsuit that accentuated her tiny waist and long legs. The mother-of-one looked toned and tanned as she added a cream hat and purple sunglasses.
But she appeared stressed in her caption, commenting that she’s been so stressed out lately that she feels like she might “break through.”
Shortly thereafter, the TV star deleted the post.

“Wow… I came into this holiday with a scare. “I’ve been working too hard, too stressed and obsessed and allow myself to let go,” she wrote.
“I’m the quintessential person that works hard and plays hard.” I stack responsibilities and work until I’m almost cracking, and then I really indulge and heal and rebuild.
Then she talked about packing.
“I’m always asked how and how much I pack… When I go on vacation I usually pick a theme… I pack outfits and accessories that are all interchangeable. I maintain my wallets and items efficiently. I’m an experienced packer and never bring more than I need!’
After receiving thousands of likes, she removed the post.
The TV star was completely exhausted for her Instagram photos.
On the red carpet, she wore a colorful floral semi-sheer top while clutching a light purple woven clutch bag.
She added pink and purple tinted cat-eye sunglasses with gold accents.
And Frankel wore heaps of blindness with a necklace composed of a string of heart-shaped purple stones.
This comes a day after the reality TV vixen revealed in an Instagram post that she is “young forever”. She made the comment in a hashtag while modeling a look by Valentino.
Too much stress: In her caption, she seemed rushed as she commented that she’s been so stressed lately that she feels like she might “break through”. Shortly thereafter, the TV star deleted the post
She was seen in a video modeling her expensive designer clothes and accessories.
That’s when she dropped the hashtag “Forever Young.”
“St Tropez Look of the Day!” Link in bio to shop the look in my LTK. ☀️ #ootd #outfitcheck #outfitoftheday #valentino #vincecamuto #foreveryoung @vincecamuto @maisonvalentino @audemarspiguet,” she noted.
The star didn’t show her 13-year-old Bryn, who she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, 52. And her fiancé, Paul Bernon, wasn’t spied on.
Last month she said she hates it when women struggle with aging and try desperately to resist the process.
She told The Heathy magazine, “I have a daughter and I want to be young for her.” It was great to just accept aging.
“I see people, women, who are so desperate to hold on to youth and do everything they can and every gimmick and lie about their age and every filter,” said the star, who admitted last week getting free tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert to have.
“There seems to be desperation in aging and not allowing it, as fine wine does.”

Health is Wealth: She told The Heathy magazine, “I have a daughter and I want to be young for her.” It was great just accepting aging.
Adding that she’s happy to be seen as a “silly aunt” as she ages, Bethenny continued, “I like being older because you have to be comfortable in your own skin and then be that stupid aunt.”
“This is me to my daughter’s friends,” the Skinnygirl founder noted.
‘That’s me on social media.’ I took it, I get it.’
The mother-of-one, who is engaged to film producer Paul Bernon, added she has a list of important steps she can take to try to keep looking her best.
She said, “I like to prioritize sleep, travel and food.” I like making my life the way I want and just doing the work I want to do is very liberating.
“I am peaceful. I’m balanced, I’m happy. “The ups and downs aren’t what they used to be, which is positive.”
“Consistency, moisture, spray-on, layer-on spray-on with serums.”
“I’m wearing a sheet mask right now because I flew yesterday and a lavender neck pillow.”
“Taking hot baths with Epsom salts.” It’s just old-school consistency. And hell, health is more important to me than looks.’
Refreshingly candid: Frankel opened up about her past procedures and future plastic surgery plans in a video posted to her Instagram in 2022
In 2022, she spoke openly about all the cosmetic surgeries she had done in a video posted to her social media.
The star revealed that she had fillers once, had a breast lift 15 years ago and previously had botox in her jaw which drastically changed her appearance.
The reality star said she wants to be honest in today’s social media climate, where there’s often a lack of ethical transparency around plastic surgery.
Speaking to fans, Frankel said, “I owe it to you to be totally transparent with you.”
“In today’s world of filters and Facetune – and people’s utter dishonesty about their looks – it’s so important to me to be transparent about my physical appearance, especially now that I’m in this beauty space” said the founder of Skinnygirls Cocktails.
“I don’t have to tell you every aspect of my sex life or my bank account or anything like that, but I do feel a responsibility because of the fact that we’ve talked about skin and beauty,” she said.
In 2006, Frankel attended a film premiere. She later got Botox to relax the muscles in her jaw, and almost three decades later, she still looked stunning after her first procedure
“And it would just be cheating for me to just do something and then pretend it’s natural,” the star added.
In the clip, she revealed that she recently attended a “plastic surgery consultation tour.”
As for her future plastic surgery plans, the entrepreneur explained that she would rather get her work done sooner rather than later in order to preserve her looks and still look like herself.
“I’m considering plastic surgery very seriously and I want to share with you all the reasons why,” the mogul said.
“I like the way I look.” I’m ok. I don’t even think I really need it. The only reason I would think about it is because eventually I think I will.”
She added, “I want to look like myself.” “I just want a little help along the way.”
The host of the Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast acknowledged the controversy surrounding plastic surgery procedures.
She said a celebrity friend of hers told her, “You’re late.” “Everyone your age has done something and everyone lies about it.”
She said she is aware that some of her followers may disagree with her opinion.
In early September, the podcast host posted a picture of herself before and after using a filter on Instagram. The star is known for posting sans filters and makeup.
“Many of you will judge me, and that’s fine as long as I’m honest with you guys. You can’t agree with my decision,” she added.
However, the star, who frequently posts unfiltered and unmade-up videos about skincare and beauty, claimed that she wants to be honest with her fans because she now works in a beauty field.
“But you won’t judge me for lying because I won’t lie to you because we discussed so many things about beauty and age and that would be a pure scam.”
Since leaving Real Housewives Of New York in 2019, the reality personality has been posting candid skincare and beauty reviews on social media.
