The Real Housewives of New York City alum shared a raw and close-up photo of the rash she developed on her face during a New Year's getaway with her 15-year-old daughter, Bryn Hoppy, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy.
"POV: You left St. Barths 3 days early and brought home a bacterial infection," Bethenny wrote on TikTok Jan. 5, jokingly captioning it, "Allergic to St. Barths."
However, the 55-year-old experienced more than just a breakout during her trip. As she joked on Instagram, St. Barths was also "the Hunger Games of holiday socialization" due to the influx of celebrities expected to arrive on the Caribbean island by 2026.
"I still found moments that really mattered," Bethenny wrote in a January 4 post. "I spent special time with friends and my love, Bryn, and rang in the new year in a way that felt genuinely meaningful, surrounded by good people."
Indeed, the Skinnygirl founder was surrounded by familiar faces as she welcomed the new year. During her vacation, she partied with Glen Powell, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, and Alix Earle, as shown in her photos.
"This trip reminded me of something I've always known but sometimes forget: it's not about what you're doing, it's about who you're with," Bethenny wrote in the caption. "And real happiness doesn't come from the setting, the plans, or the noise; it comes from within."
And that's why she believes Alix should ignore online rumors after being spotted getting cozy with Tom Brady at a New Year's Eve party in St. Barths.
"Why don't they get to do whatever they want? Bethenny argued in a TikTok video on January 5 that they are two consenting adults. "Life is short. Do what you want to do, and live your life your way."
She went on, "And everyone can f--k off."
