Bethenny Frankel recently tweeted about a bad experience on an airline, which she did not name. As we heard a few weeks ago, Bethenny has a rare and potentially fatal allergy to fish. It’s so bad that she had to be hospitalized for two days after accidentally eating soup with fish in it. Well Bethenny was scheduled to fly commercial, so she called ahead several times to warn that she had a fish allergy. No one got the message to her flight staff and they were serving fish on the plane. Even if she still didn’t eat it, this can cause her to have a reaction in such a closed environment. The pilot maybe decided to turn the plane around as a result and it sounds like he was a total jerk about it. (Note that I got this story from People, which claimed that the plane turned around. However Bethenny words it like they started to do it but didn’t follow through after she protested.)

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

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

It’s hard to find and recap the follow up tweets, so here is People’s coverage:

Frankel then retweeted a recent story about a young boy from New York whose family claim he died after fish was cooked near him. How exactly the boy died currently remains under investigation.

Immediately after her tweets, fans began to offer their opinions on the situation, with some suggesting Frankel fly on private planes to avoid potentially fatal encounters with fish.

When someone asked if she had the ability to invest in a personal plane, Frankel added, “I ain’t got it like that. And I want to work less not more.”

After some fans debated the severity of serving fish on an enclosed aircraft — “I didn’t know that could be an airborne allergy!” wrote someone — Frankel offered her own perspective and knowledge on the situation.

“To clarify: some allergens are transmitted by touch & air. Fish is one & is fatal. The more exposure to them, the more susceptible,” she wrote. “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.”

She also explained to her followers that “Being trapped in a cabin w no windows w cooking fish is a death trap,” and argued that “The airlines and world needs to change. I was always self conscious about it & today didn’t help.”

I wish Bethenny would have outed the airline. Ten bucks says it was Delta! Delta is the f’ing worst I hate them so much. I’ve had so many bad experiences with them, but most airlines suck, especially the big ones. Airlines really need to improve their processes and communication with staff and passengers.

There’s another tweet with recommendations from the Food Allergy Awareness Network about traveling with allergies. I can’t imagine how nerve wracking that must be, to realize that you can’t control your environment and could suffer a life-threatening reaction at any time.

I’ve heard that Bethenny’s Hermes bags are dupes. I wish she would tell us where she gets them.
