Bethenny Frankel is sounding off after Jennifer Lopez was reportedly denied entry into a Chanel store.
So J. Lo was denied access to Chanel in Istanbul, Frankel, 54, said via TikTok on Friday, August 8. She was unfazed and unbothered, and I dont know if we heard about how the person was at the door meaning if they were kind, then that tracks. They probably didnt know who she was.
According to the T�rkiye Today newspaper, Lopez, 56, tried to walk into the store on Monday, August 4. She was reportedly told by a security guard that the boutique was already at full capacity and was asked to leave.
Lopez allegedly responded, OK, no problem, before calmly walking away. (Us Weekly has reached out to Lopezs rep and Chanel for comment.)
Bethenny Frankel has had her fair share of drama with members of the Real Housewives of New York City but she has sparked some controversy with people outside of the franchise as well. In February 2023, Frankel revealed that she had an unexpected feud with Martha Stewart after appearing as a contestant on The [&] The reports reminded Frankel of the time she was allegedly denied entry into the luxury retailer. According to the former Real Housewives of New York City star, a security guard once asked her if she had an appointment. After Frankel replied no, she allegedly got rejected from entering the store.
When I went to Chanel, I looked like an absolute train wreck, and they definitely wouldnt have known who I was, Frankel said in her latest TikTok. The gripe that I had with the person at the door of how they treated me.
The SkinnyGirl founder presumed that Lopez looked like a glamazon and predicted security didnt know she was a Grammy nominee, or maybe the store was in fact full.

I dont think that Chanel should change any policies for public people, Frankel said. I think they should change policies about the elitism and the way they treat someone daring to enter into their kingdom, thus making them feel inferior.
She continued, I have no idea how the person at the door treated Jennifer Lopez but therein lies the actual issue.
As Chanel continues to make headlines, Frankel believes its good for the retailer because they are getting a lot of press.
Whether shes walking down the red carpet, performing live or simply out and about, Jennifer Lopez always serves up a seriously hot style moment. The actress sexy style is just as iconic as her eponymous J. Lo glow. From plunging necklines and thigh-high leg slits to slinky dresses and itty-bitty minis, the Wedding Planner star [&] At the same time, Frankel believes Lopez likely would have been a great customer if they made time for her.
J. Lo is a customer you would want to have in your store, and shes definitely going to buy, she explained. But in 2025, you get more press for not letting J. Lo in than you do if you did.
Lopez has not publicly commented on her Chanel experience. Instead, she is gearing up for two performances this weekend in Almaty and Sardinia.
