Looks like the Bravo holiday party is going to be a little awkward this year.
Not content to butt heads with fellow "Real Housewives of New York City" castmate Kelly Bensimon, Bethenny Frankel has set her sights on a new target: fellow Bravo reality-bot and star stylist Rachel Zoe of "The Rachel Zoe Project," reports the New York Daily News's Gatecrasher column.
According to the paper, Frankel posted a Zoe rant on Twitter Monday night after watching an episode of the stylist's show, which usually sees her haranguing her assistants, weeping to her husband and proclaiming vintage muumuus to be "bananas." (As opposed to "Real Housewives," which usually sees the ladies haranguing their children and housekeepers, weeping to their husbands, and snipping behind each other's backs.)
"Wondering if I'm the only one who can't get over the self-important nonsense that is Rachel Zoe. Wow," Frankel Tweeted.
And because no catfight can be contained in 140 characters, she continued, "Dying over this show. If I stick a lampshade with a moo moo [sic] and a pair of bananas hoop earrings, RZ may just DIE! What a bunch of BS!"Less than two hours later, Zoe hit back on her own Twitter page, saying, "Wow talk abt no class bn friends 4yrs rude. She is inappropriate and clearly desperate for attention."
That prompted Frankel to bust out her right hook. "Known R. Rosensweig [sic] for 20 yrs & treats all her old friends like garbage," Frankel Tweet-snarled. "Being talented & famous should make u remember who was nice then."
Zoe, who was born with the last name Rosenzweig, snuck in one last digital hair yank. "Unclear y Bethanny [sic] has declared war," she posted. "Never bn anything but kind 2 her & clearly she enjoys being vicious as they say..obvi she was nevr my friend."
Okay, so the whole exchange may not be a tenth as eloquent as the feud between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, but it's just as nasty.
Still, we hold out hope that the two gals can bury the hatchet over a couple of Skinnygirl Margaritas. And if not, we smell a new reality show in the works!
