Bethenny Frankel received backlash on social media on Friday after she boasted about giving a T.J. Maxx employee her leftover makeup in a video she filmed while shopping at one of the companys stores.

The former Real Housewives of New York City star began the Sept. 5 TikTok video by explaining that she was shopping at T.J. Maxx with her daughter that day. She then appears to interpret the customer service she has received at the department store chain as flattery: Theyre always complimenting me on what we buy.

Frankel explains that she wanted to bring those T.J. Maxx employees her leftover makeup that she says she had opened up and tried before putting them in a giveaway pile.

But its all brand new, she says in the video, before later adding that she put the giveaway stuff in Ziploc bags for her friends at the store.

The Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast host then films herself approaching a T.J. Maxx employee, whom she calls her friend, before asking her what her name is.

Frankel then hands the employee the bag of makeup and tells her that the products are good and fancy and expensive.

The employee expresses concern about accepting Frankels bag of leftover makeup, saying the companys policy prohibits her from accepting any kind of gratuity or gifts.

But Frankel responds by assuring the woman that she will talk to corporate by messaging the official Instagram account for T.J. Maxx, and that the employee shouldnt worry because the company is going to make an exception.

Dont worry, theyll come reach out to you because the people are going to speak, she says.

T.J. Maxx did not immediately return a request for comment. A representative for Bethenny Frankel did not provide a comment on the matter.
