Bethenny Frankel has been warned by a judge to stop wearing her daughter’s clothes.
The 43-year-old reality star was criticised by a Manhattan matrimonial judge yesterday (02.10.14) for showing "poor judgement" by posting a photograph online of herself in July wearing four-year-old Bryn’s Hello Kitty pyjamas and Justice Ellen Gesmer told her the decision was "ridiculous".
The judge said: "No more pyjamas!"
When Bethenny’s lawyer, Allan Mayefsky, insisted the posting was just a joke, the judge replied: "It’s not a joke. Her child is not a joke."
The judge – who was presiding over a hearing between Bethenny and ex-husband Jason Hoppy relating to financial information – reminded the ‘Real Housewives’ star the image will stay on the Internet forever and said even her own concerned friends had called her about the picture.
A trial to divide the TV star’s estimated $55 million fortune is expected to take place during the coming months.
The former couple spent 16 months locked in a bitter battle over Bryn, but finally agreed to share parental duties in June.
The pair filed for divorce in December 2012 but have since been arguing over the money made during their two-year marriage after Bethenny set up her company Skinnygirl.
