Bethenny Frankel has fallen victim to the New York City punching epidemic.
In a since-deleted comment on a TikTok video of fashion design student Mikayla Toninato sharing her experience being assaulted, Frankel revealed she was randomly punched on a Manhattan street earlier this year, too.
“This is insane bc this happened to me a few months ago but I was embarrassed to say,” the ‘Real Housewives of New York City” alum, 53, wrote Tuesday. “I was on the UWS [Upper West Side]. Insane. I was taking video of a bakery.”

In a subsequent post, Kate gave a closer look at her injury, describing it as a “devil horn.”
The NYPD confirmed the incident to The Post, saying a 23-year-old woman had reported an assault at West 16th Street and 7th Avenue at 10:20 a.m. Monday.
Officers said Kate was treated at a medical facility for injuries to the left side of her face.
The police said it was unclear whether the viral incidents were connected.
However, the attacks appear similar to an emerging — and disturbing — trend in NYC called the “knockout game” in which young people dare each other to sucker-punch a stranger.
Frankel did not share the extent of her injuries.
