Bethenny Frankel takes a dip in plunging ruffled swimsuit in St. Barts

New York City may be Bethenny Frankel’s playground, but St. Barts is her swimming hole.

The former “Real Housewives of New York” star hit the beach during her Caribbean vacation Tuesday, making a splash in a ruffled one-piece swimsuit.

The frilly mustard-colored maillot featured a low-cut back and a deeply plunging neckline, and Frankel, 52, accessorized with a broad-brimmed straw hat, oversized sunglasses and a floral cover-up.

Frankel was also spotted fanning herself, toting an iridescent bag and typing on her phone.

As for jewelry, the reality star-turned-podcaster paired her million-dollar engagement ring with yet another blinged-out watch, a combination she appears to favor for beach days.

The Skinnygirl founder is currently on vacation with 12-year-old daughter Bryn Hoppy, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

Bryn sported a colorful bikini on the shore, sharing that she was swimming with turtles on Frankel’s Instagram Story.

The tropical vacation comes after Frankel, 52, revealed that she has “experienced some health issues” lately and that she’s had cosmetic surgery — but declined to elaborate on specific conditions and procedures, following the advice of a friend “in the industry.”

“I don’t owe anyone a detailed explanation of everything I eat, how much I have sex, how much money I have or everything I do,” Frankel said.

“The most important thing (is), I think I look great, my daughter thinks I look great, my fiancé [Paul Bernon] thinks I look great so I don’t give a good f–k what you think,” the heated Bravolebrity added.

Addressing the “trolls” who’ve been commenting on her appearance for weeks, Frankel added that she doesn’t “give a s—t” about their opinions.

“I’m doing it my way. You want to f–king unfollow me because I don’t give you a pap smear and put my feet up in stirrups and show you every inch of me? Then f–k off,” she concluded.

Andrew Burton/Getty Images On April 15, 2013, two improvised bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Emergency workers scrambled to treat over 200 injured runners and fans .

That act of watching — aided by new platforms, fueled by faster reporting — ushered in a new age of national response to local emergencies. The Boston Marathon bombings left an enduring framework for how Americans process, organize and mourn in the fac

How to talk about disability sensitively and avoid ableist tropes

People participate in the first annual Disability Pride Parade, in July 2015, in New York City. The parade calls attention to the rights of people with disabilities and coincides with the anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Stephanie Keith/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Stephanie Keith/Getty Images Disability can be difficult to talk about sensitively because of how embedded ableism is in our language, biases and perceptions of disability. Conversations about disability are slowly increasing, especially when it comes to ableist language and how disabled people are represented in the media. Disability advocate Talila A. Lewis' working definition of ableism is a "system that places value on people's bodies and minds based on societally constructed ideas of normalcy, intelligence and excellence." NPR spoke to Cara Reedy, the director and founder of the Disabled Journalists Association, and Rosemary McDonnell-Horita of LaVant Consu
