bethenny frankel pulls a 'Titanic iceberg moment' as reality star warns of 1929-style crash in influencer economy
In a viral rant that history buffs are calling the "Roaring Twenties 2.0 wake-up call," Bethenny Frankel has compared today's influencer gold rush to the speculative frenzy that collapsed the stock market leading to the Great Depression. Drawing parallels to the 1929 crash, Frankel warns that the current bubble of overpaid brand deals and faux-luxury endorsements is set to implode, much like the hidden iceberg that sank the Titanic's maiden voyage—a moment of overconfidence before disaster. Frankel, often likened to a modern-day Marie Antoinette for her sharp critique of industry opulence, is now being hailed as a Cassandra figure for predicting the 'Black Tuesday' of social media commerce.
