Charisma Carpenter dismisses Bethenny Frankel’s feud with ‘Ronan’ mom

The Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel apparently has a fight with Maya Thompsonwhose late son inspired Taylor Swift“Ronan,” said friend Charisma Timmerman.

“I know this is a year later but in September 2023 Maya was blocked by Bethenny Frankel and the reason why is because according to Maya she was blocked because she was probably defending Taylor Swift from the horrible things Bethenny said. (about Taylor’s love life),” Carpenter, 54, claimed in a recent release TikTok video. ‘As if Taylor has to adjust her life to one day accommodate a man. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum added, “Don’t come for Taylor Swift — and don’t come for Maya Thompson. So, Bethenny, not that you care, I’m just saying don’t find you on the street (New York City).

Carpenter tagged both Thompson and Swift, 34, in her caption. She also wrote, “It’s too good for Taylor, but protect the queen at all costs.”

Frankel, 53, has not addressed the allegations. We weekly has requested comment.

Frankel had been spoken before about Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. In a social media video in February, the Bravo alumnus theorized that Kelce’s “peacock” personality would cause a problem in their relationship.

“I literally think he’s a peacock and there are two peacocks in this relationship, and that usually doesn’t work. I may think so,” Frankel claimed at the time. “I don’t have to think about them getting married and spending their lives together. I hope they do, if that’s what they want.”

Frankel later denied that she came out for the 35-year-old NFL star, but still stood by her comments in a follow-up post, arguing, “I stand by that. I think Travis is.”

Thompson, for her part, is a frequent defender of Swift, although it is unknown whether she was involved in the recent bad blood. Thompson and Swift first connected in 2011 after the pop star read Thompson’s “Rockstar Ronan” blog about her toddler son’s battle with cancer. Ronan died that year at age 4, inspiring Swift’s song “Ronan.”

“In my opinion, one of the bravest things a person could ever do is experience something absolutely unbearable and then share their experience with the world. And I think the braver you are, the more brutally honest you are,” Swift said during a performance in 2017 of the song. “There’s a woman here tonight named Maya Thompson and she lived in this area and raised her children in this area. And I wouldn’t know half as much as I know about childhood cancer and childhood cancer research if she hadn’t shared her story about her son Ronan.

Swift explained at the time that she read Thompson’s blog “every night,” noting that cancer has “come really close to (her)” since then. (Swift’s mother, Andrea, previously battled breast cancer and has since been in remission.)

Although Swift hasn’t performed “Ronan” in recent years out of respect for Thompson, she has invited her to several Eras tour shows. Thomas and Timmerman too attended one of the concerts in London together in August.

“Last week I was in London with Charisma Carpenter for something she was working on. The next thing I knew, we were in the Royal Suite at Wembley Stadium watching the masterpiece that is the Eras Tour,” Thompson wrote on August 24 via X. “We were treated like royalty (literally). I’m still trying to process what happened, the words that were said, and how I spent the evening dancing next to (Florence Welch).”
