Before subtly shading the festivities,
Bethenny Frankel prefaced in a video shared to
TikTok on Monday, July 1, "Ok, I've been diplomatic about the wedding, and I happen to love Lauren Sanchez and I also adore Amazon, so I am treading lightly. But you know me, and I have a difficult time holding back when I have an opinion."

The invitation, you lost me, and as a result … I'm going to start dating so I can eventually get married and have a wedding and make up for that invitation because that invitation — I could not stay silent, I'm sorry," the former reality star said.
