Frankel has taken to posting numerous videos discussing the enigmatic drone sightings, disseminating information she has received and recounting her recent encounter with a drone in New York after feeling excluded for not having seen one.

Bethenny Frankel Is ‘Obsessed’ With ‘DroneTok’
The former reality TV personality uploaded her inaugural TikTok video addressing the drone sightings a couple of days ago, and since then, she has uploaded several videos on the subject.
In one video, she told her viewers, “If you’re on Drone Tok, then I guess we’re in this together.”
She talked about the different theories that are swirling around currently.
“I would say, if this situation escalates, it’s not being reported that widely on the news, like I want to look for it and I’m not seeing it, if more sightings occur and this seems to be escalating and there’s some sort of a frenzy or a panic for whatever they’re quote unquote looking for, that would be a time to be alarmed,” she shared in one TikTok video.

“And I would say, if it stops, then the proverbial they, the theoretical they has maybe found the theoretical it, and that would be a good sign. I do think that telling us whatever it is, if it’s not great, that would be international panic. That would probably be a disaster.”

Bethenny Frankel Talked About How Mainstream Media Is Handling The Drone Topic
In another TikTok video, Frankel talks about how the mainstream media is handling the drone situation.
“So I post something that got millions of views, not one person calls it bizarre, but some freelance writer for the Daily Mail says, ‘Bethenny’s bizarre theory,’ and The Post, of course, picks that up, the word bizarre,” she said. “So riddle me this; when there are giant hovering aircrafts over people’s homes terrifying them, should there be a normal explanation?”
She continued to explain how this drone issue shouldn’t be “totally fine” and said, “when there are normal occurrences, we’ll have normal theories and explanations.”
Many viewers dropped into the comments to share their thoughts.

“If it’s bizarre why are airports shutting down????” one person asked. Another said, “Good Morning America this morning said to ignore the drones because they are normal! Whaaaaaat????”

The Reality Star Shared Information She Was Given
In a follow up DroneTok video, Frankel shared some information she was given.
She said that someone she spoke to said they saw one plane and three drones in Monmouth County, New Jersey flying low above homes. She said there were also sightings in Wycoff and Bernardsville.
“The mainstream news is not reporting it. Fox News is somewhat reporting it, aka Trump television, and the other networks, aka current administration television, are not really talking about it,” she said. “So something is obviously going on, and it is consistent that something is being searched for. I stand behind my theory.”
‘Last Night Seemed Heightened And Lit’
As the drone saga continues, Frankel’s reporting of all the news and information she’s collected does, too.
“So last night seemed heightened and lit, no pun intended, which unsettles me more because the media is saying that there have been 5,000 drones reported,” she said. “And last night alone, I, on my account, have hundreds of sightings messaged to me, you do the math, the cost, the volume, but the new information I thought was interesting was one person said to me, ‘Why are these drones spraying something into the ocean?'”
She said she also has photos of “generators being transported on massive trucks.”
In a follow-up video, Frankel shared that she disagrees with politicians talking about the fact that the government should be transparent with people about just what’s going on.

“Whatever is going on would be widespread panic,” she said. “I’m not really talking to them. I understand what they’re doing. If there’s something going on that requires billions of dollars of drones flying over people’s homes, they should shut the f— up and do what they have to do. They don’t need to be focusing on babysitting us. I think they’re doing whatever they should be doing given the circumstances.”
The following video shared by Frankel just quickly jokes that she’s in her “drone reporter era.”
Bethenny Frankel Finally Saw A Drone With Her Own Eyes
After reporting on the drone phenomenon without ever witnessing one herself, Frankel finally “popped her drone cherry” by seeing a drone out in the sky.
“I left the house in pajamas. I was feeling such FOMO, like I’m talking about this stuff that I don’t understand. I haven’t seen it, I need to see it for myself,” she said. “Here’s what it’s like. So first of all, you just will see the lights and then you’ll see something that’s stopped. It’s unusual, it’s not flying, it’s just hovering.”
She continued explaining what she saw saying it’s “huge” and “not like a recreational thing.” She also described it as “bigger than a car.”
After seeing her first drone, she immediately saw a second.
“That was insane,” she said. “And it’s very unsettling and it’s creepy.”

She concluded her video saying, “I’m here to tell you, the drones are real.”
Frankel has quite a few other drone related videos on TikTok, so she’s the one to follow if you’re wondering just what’s going on in the sky.
