Bethenny Frankel has broken her silence on Donald Trump’s presidential election win and slammed Kamala Harris for ‘hobnobbing with celebrities’ during her campaign.
Defeated Democrat candidate Harris, who has yet to make her concession speech, was notably endorsed by celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Lizzo, Julia Roberts, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and Lady Gaga.
Frankel – who has not openly said who she endorsed – took to social media hours after Trump’s win to slam voters for not ‘allowing each other have an opinion’ while calling out Harris for ‘aligning with celebrities.’
She said: ‘This was the most divisive election that I can recall in my lifetime, the stakes felt so high on both sides, people couldn’t have an opinion
‘It’s been like that for a while but it felt more crystallized here, you couldn’t have an opinion, regardless of who you were voting for. You couldn’t say either candidate didn’t do something you didn’t like… something that wasn’t a good business practice.

She added: ‘I genuinely did not think that aligning with celebrities is and was a good idea. I don’t think the American public by and large care about who is hobnobbing with celebrities, it’s the forbidden fruit, it’s tempting, it’s right there, it’s the shiny object.
‘I don’t think its a working model, I’m allowed to have that opinion.
‘I thought there were mistakes on both sides but when I expressed an opinion, regardless of who I was voting for, I was attacked on both sides and attacking each other and fighting in the comments.
The RHONY star urged her fans to accept the results of the election, saying: ‘We live in a democracy and the people have spoken, the decision has been made.
‘The country has to come together.’
Trump was endorsed by famous faces including Kid Rock, Joe Rogan and Brittany Mahomes.
Harris was memorably seen catching up with Perry at an election day rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , on Tuesday.
Harris got an extra dose of star power, as Perry — who posted video of the encounter to her TikTok account — was joined by her fiancé Orlando Bloom, 47.
Trump has taken in the lion’s share of the popular vote too, securing 51 percent to Harris 47.5 percent as of Wednesday morning with most of the nation’s votes counted

Lizzo was another high-profile figure who endorsed Harris
Harris, who looked smart in a black suit with wide peaked lapels and a matching sweater, looked absolutely aghast when she saw Perry approaching her during backstage at the get-out-the-vote event.
Tuesday’s rally featured a star-studded line up to support Harris, with Perry and fellow superstar Lady Gaga performing a selection of their hits and endorsing the Vice President before Americans headed to the polls.
Katy roared onto the 2024 campaign scene to rally support for Harris at the event near Pittsburgh, where she performed after Harris left the stage having delivered her own stump speech.
The hitmaker started out by singing ‘Dark Horse’ and then declared ‘my body, my choice’ before singing Part of Me.
Katy revealed becoming a mother four years ago is her reason for voting for Harris, saying: ‘Orlando and I welcomed our daughter Daisy, and she is the reason I am voting for Kamala Harris.’
Katy shared that she has known Harris since before she was even a senator and that the vice president has always fought for the most vulnerable and will protect women’s rights .

Harris will deliver a speech at her alma mater Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday around 4 pm ET, nearly 12 hours after the race was called
If that lead stands, it would mark the first time a Republican has won the popular vote in 20 years, since George Bush’s 2004 win, indicating a high-water mark of Republican enthusiasm the party has not seen in decades.
Still, the Democratic nominee has not addressed the outcome of the presidential election, which the Associated Press called as a victory for Trump around 5:30 am ET on Wednesday morning.
The Harris campaign now is announcing that will the Democrat deliver a speech at her alma mater Howard University in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday around 4 pm ET, nearly 12 hours after the race was called.
