Real Housewives of New York‘s Bethenny Frankel is currently enjoying a vacation on Paradise Island with her six-year-old daughter Bryn. While soaking up the sun at the exotic location, the 46-year-old reality star went to a trained dolphin show. Frankel shared a video of the experience on social media, but she couldn’t possibly have been prepared for the immediate backlash from her followers for attending the event that many labeled as a display of “animal cruelty.”
Frankel posted the brief clip showing a man feeding the dolphins while standing in waist-high clear blue water. The mother of one originally shared the video on an Instagram story and then on Twitter. Little did she know, many of her fans were going to lash out at her for supporting this kind of display.
