Real Housewives Of NY's Bethenny Frankel Hunts Rogue Drones In Rye

RYE, NY — If reports of drones spotted in skies above New York have been causing you anxiety, there is no need to worry — an ad hoc celebrity defense corps is on the case.

Famed "Real Housewives of New York" reality star and Skinnygirl Margarita-creator Bethenny Frankel posted her tireless hunt for a rogue drone she spotted flying above Rye. Although the 54-year-old reality star did little to tamp down hysteria about the recent drone sightings that have been making headlines, a now viral video she posted to her more than 2 million TikTok followers showed her trying to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Frankel narrated her experience as she filmed herself chasing a hovering drone along the Westchester Sound Shore in Rye from a chauffeur-driven car on Friday.

"It was gigantic. Like, it was like a spaceship," the reality star, clad in pajamas, excitedly told the camera. "And it was big. But, like, it like dissolves in the fog and you get close to it and it's just blinking lights. They're so ominous... We're shook by how big they are."

Frankel appears to not believe the explanation from federal regulators that the recent uptick in reported drone sightings is owed mostly to authorized civilian, police and commercial use.

"If you're asking me if I have anxiety over, am unsettled over and freaked out over the drones and the orbs slash plasmoids, a resounding yes," Frankel told her followers in a separate TikTok clip. "Covid was something that was discussed in detail here and people were on a lag. Like, this is a place for information and it scares other places. And in fact, I told my therapist today, it feels like we’re in a propaganda state. Like, it’s insane."
