Bethenny Frankel is changing her stance on T.J. Maxx, thanks to a dramatic shoe situation.
On Friday, Frankel took to TikTok to share a video discussing her most recent purchase — a pair of pink satin Manolo Blahnik Hangisi mules, which she purchased from T.J. Maxx for $200 (the original pair retails for $1,095). Upon connecting with blogger Jack Savoie, Frankel shared that she learned her shoes were actually fake due to their lack of sueded soles and several other details.
Frankel shared she also reached out to T.J. Maxx, which would have given her a refund for the footwear valued at $869 if she retuned them with a receipt — which she stated she did not have. Resultantly, the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star told T.J. Maxx she would not be accepting their offer, thought she did request the brand to send Savoie a gift card.

“I’m going to wear these fake, counterfeit shoes with pride, because I own them now,” Frankel said. “But do not buy luxury goods at T.J. Maxx.”
Previously, Frankel shared her purchase of the Blahnik mules at T.J. Maxx — which she found while originally arriving to purchase a flamingo-shaped bar cart and cowboy hat — on TikTok. The style features bright fuchsia satin uppers with stiletto heels, finished by pointed toes topped with the luxury brand’s signature sparkling Hangisi buckle.
At this time, T.J. Maxx has not issued a statement or video response to Frankel’s video, which has currently amassed 1.6 million views.
