"Brutal AF" - Perez Hilton reacts after Bethenny Frankel slams And Just Like That finale, says Sex and the City reboot ending is the "worst show ever"

Reality TV star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel recently slammed the ending of the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That. The season 3 finale aired on August 14, 2025, and the following day, Bethenny Frankel shared her views about the show in an Instagram video. Pop culture commentator Perez Hilton later addressed her remarks in a blog post published on August 18.

While reporting on Frankel's take on the show, Hilton called her reaction "brutal."

"The Real Housewives of New York City alum shared her unfiltered thoughts on the Sex and the City reboot’s ending on Friday, one day after the final episode aired. And her take was brutal AF!!!" Hilton wrote.

Frankel, who called And Just Like That the "worst show ever" in her video, explained why she didn't "feel bad" in saying so. She explained that she was "dragged" in season one of the show.

"I have, nevertheless, watched this series. This is the worst show ever," she remarked.

Perez Hilton, in his blog, also stated the reason behind Bethenny Frankel's views, writing:

"Back in 2023, Sarah Jessica Parker‘s character Carrie Bradshaw said she kept finding reasons not to move to the Hamptons, with Sarita Choudhury‘s character Seema Patel asking if that reason was the reality star[Frankel]. Oof!"

Hilton further wrote that Bethenny "joked" about being "flattered" by the shoutout at that time and decided to watch And Just Like That. However, at the end of three seasons, it seemed like her views were not positive. In her August 15 video, the reality TV star said she watched the series and found that it went from "hero to zero."

Bethenny Frankel also took a shot at Charlotte and Harry’s plot, wherein they were seen cleaning their "massive" apartment themselves and had no housekeeper. The reality TV star also slammed the show for portraying Aidan Shaw's character as "goofy." Frankel further called And Just Like That a "forced show," and concluded by saying:

"It’s ridiculous. Everything is menopause. Everything is the most 2025 version of itself. If you’re gonna take a shot at this B, you better not miss, and you guys missed. Well done.”
