Bethenny Frankel has had enough. 

Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City found her confronting someone she helped save not too long ago.

If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online, you know that Bethenny was instrumental in helping co-star Luann de Lesseps realize she needed to seek help for alcohol abuse. 

Bethenny revealed during the new installment that she thought Luann was being obnoxious, and not caring about any of the other ladies. She also took aim at her cabaret show. 

Bethenny was not impressed to learn that Luann was bashing her for leaving her cabaret show early. The show in question went ahead hours late, and Luann did not tell her co-stars about it being late.

To everyone, Bethenny showed up for as long as she could. Luann, on the other hand, could not say a nice word about Bethenny. 

Luann said that she wished Bethenny would have stayed for the show. 

"I mean, I love you, but I was there for three hours. I had to let my babysitter go," Frankel replied said, before going for the jugular.

"[Dorinda] told me you said, ‘Why is she leaving to go home and watch Bryn sleep?’"

"Well, because I imagine a child at 8 years old by 11:30 is sleeping," Luann shot back.

"Right, but then guess what? Tomorrow’s school," Bethenny added.

"So I would like to watch her wake up. And also, I don’t have a nanny. I have a housekeeper that I have babysit, so I don’t like to keep her there until 1 o’clock in the morning if she has to be there the next day."

Luann went on to say that Bethenny was there for her when she needed it, in her sad times, but she also wanted her to be there during the happy times. 

"Luann, I’m a mother of an 8-year-old in third grade. It’s Halloween. I was trick-or-treating after school," Bethenny said.  "Really, hear me. I need you to actually receive this. I’m a mom, I come home…"

"I know that. I’m a mom, too. Don’t talk to me like I’m not a mom! I know what it is," Luann yelled. 

Bethenny wanted Luann to understand that her kids were not 8, but Luann said they once were. 

"You told me when we were in Miami for Art Basel that I should just get somebody to take care of my kid at night when I don’t wanna do that," Bethenny fired back.

"Well, yeah," Luann complained. "When you wanna go out, sure."

"But I don’t wanna go out at 11:30 at night!" Bethenny said, completely shocked at the way Luann was acting. "I wouldn’t go see Madonna at 11:30 at night!"

"You always say you have to get home for Bryn. At 11 o’clock at night, the child is sleeping!" Lu continued.

"But I have to wake up with her to make her breakfast and take her to school!" B shouted.

"This is my life. You’re doing your cabaret and your life, and I respect that. I was there supporting that. I’m living my life, and you’re not supporting it by saying to somebody, ‘She left to watch her daughter sleep.’ This is my life the way that I’m living it right now."

"Who do you think you are?!" Bethenny screamed in a confessional. "This is how I’m choosing to do this as a single mom, and I don’t like to be f–ked with on it — at all!"

Ugh. That was wild. 

What are your thoughts on the argument?
