Bethenny Frankel Stands Up For Kim Kardashian And North West In Corset Controversy - Fresh Celebrity News 2025

Bethenny Frankel Takes a Stand for Kim and North

Hey, darlings, let’s talk about the latest drama swirling around Kim Kardashian and her mini-me, North West. The duo turned heads - and raised eyebrows - during a recent trip to Italy last month when 12-year-old North strutted out in a corset and miniskirt combo. Naturally, the internet had a field day, with many calling the outfit way too mature for a preteen.

But not everyone’s jumping on the criticism bandwagon. Enter Bethenny Frankel, the ever-opinionated former star of The Real Housewives of New York City, who’s got some thoughts - and she’s not shy about sharing them. Bethenny took to Instagram to set the record straight, and honey, she’s playing no games when it comes to defending Kim and North.

Why Bethenny Thinks Kids Are Off-Limits

In her post, Bethenny made it crystal clear that she’s not here for the shade thrown at celebrity kids. She pointed out that North isn’t just any 12-year-old - she’s the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, a power couple known for their larger-than-life style. So, should we really be shocked when North rocks a corset that’s more high-fashion than high school?

“I just don’t believe in criticizing people’s children - period. Whether it’s Blue Ivy, Housewives kids, or my own daughter, they’re off-limits,”

Bethenny passionately declared on Instagram. She even brought her own daughter Brynn into the convo, admitting that Brynn isn’t thrilled about the pricey bling North often sports, like diamonds and designer gear. Still, Bethenny argued, “Don’t expect Kim and Kanye’s kid to shop at T.J. Maxx - if they did, you’d criticize that too!” Touché, Bethenny!

A Different Perspective Sparks Debate

While Bethenny’s all about keeping the kids out of the crossfire, not everyone agrees with her take. Supernanny Jo Frost slid into the comments of Bethenny’s post with a pointed question about parenting and style. Jo asked whether parents like Kim have a responsibility to help kids express individuality without crossing into territory that could be seen as too mature or objectifying.

It’s a fair point, and it’s got us wondering where the line should be drawn. Bethenny, for her part, seems firm in her belief that North’s outfit - corset and all - isn’t showing anything scandalous. So, what do you think, loves? Is Bethenny right to shield celebrity kids from the spotlight’s harsh glare, or does Jo have a point about guiding young style choices?
