One of the biggest stars of “The Real Housewives Of New York” had a scary brush with death on Sunday afternoon.
Bethenny Frankel, 48, was visiting the Boston, Massachusetts area over the weekend when she had an allergic reaction to a bowl of fish soup. Frankel reportedly has a very rare allergy that could put her in the grave if she’s exposed to the ingredient.
Frankel, who explained the terrifying incident on Twitter to her fans Monday night, said she “was unconscious” for 15 minutes. (RELATED: Bethenny Frankel’s Boyfriend Found Dead At Trump Tower)
“I couldn’t talk, see, thought I had a stroke & dying,” the reality star wrote, adding that if she had waited five minutes more she’d be dead.
