A Fish Almost Cost Bethenny Frankel Her Life Again
Bethenny Frankel has had yet another terrifying fish related near-death experience. Last month she almost died when she ate some soup that triggered a fish allergy, and had to be revived at the hands of a handsome man with an epipen. Now, according to Bethenny, neither water nor air are safe spaces anymore. This week, Bethenny boarded an airplane and was dismayed to find out that they were serving fish even though she had called ahead multiple times to make sure they wouldn’t be. Sadly, the flight had already taken off by the time her objections were registered with the crew, and the pilot decided to turn the plane around. Apparently, this was very embarrassing for Bethenny. So embarrassing she had to tell everybody about it on Twitter!
Here’s Bethenny’s account of the ordeal. She originally made it seem as if the plane actually did turn around but then updated with a clarification that after the announcement, the cabin voted/prayed on it, and decided the flight should continue.
Called airline mult x to say I have fish allergy. Got on & they’re serving bass. They couldn’t not serve it they said. Then they were turning around which I protested bc it would delay people. Cabin asked to not serve it & pilot made announcement to plane. That was fun. #epilife

To clarify: some allergens are transmitted by touch & air. Fish is one & is fatal. The more exposure to them, the more susceptible. It’s not like an immunity thing where more exposure means less susceptible. It’s opposite. I’ve always kept it quiet but that’s over now.

Here’s her additional clarification. No one’s going to accuse Bethenny Frankel of being vague for attention!
1)I called ahead mult x 2)fish cooked in plane NOT the same as restaurant.3)been allergic since birth to fish NOT shellfish 4)plane didn’t turn bc cabin voted 5)pilot called me out to whole plane 6)airlines should NOT serve airborne allergens. & 7)who the F wants fish on a plane?

And she added:
I mean… I was sweating like Albert brooks in “broadcast news.” https://t.co/LA4AfmsXL8

What a wasted opportunity. She should have said she was sweating like Robert Hays in Airplane! Some folks on Twitter started giving Bethenny shit about being a diva. A lot of people suggested she fly private next time. But she couldn’t make up her mind whether or not she could afford it.
I ain’t got it like that. And I want to work less not more. https://t.co/fAgHtN70gC

I am fortunate enough to do that sometimes, but it is a massive waste and not environmentally friendly if doing solo. But I hears ya. https://t.co/myCb4ppvKx

Others simply wondered why she didn’t just not eat the meal, failing to understand that some food allergies can be triggered by airborne particles released when the food is cooked.
I don’t care about the meal. Being trapped in a cabin w no windows w cooking fish is a death trap. https://t.co/h9l1JlMm6d

Though Bethenny didn’t name the airline, she says she’s going to make it her mission to bring fish allergy awareness, 12-13 tweets and God knows how many RHONYC story lines at a time.
This airline knows who they are. And this policy will change if it is all I focus on. I almost screwed everyone’s night up too, which the pilot delightfully announced. https://t.co/OHuKt8Ew73

I ask airlines @UnitedAirlines @AmericanAir @Delta @JetBlue @SouthwestAir @VirginAmerica etc. stop serving airborne allergens. I’ll stay on this until you do. The one that initially refused & pilot who called me out on speaker knows. Cabin backed me up. Plane didn’t turn around.

I wonder if Bethenny will also refuse to board any planes that are showing Aquaman in the future. One can’t be too safe.
