Bethenny Frankel has landed in hot water after posting a photo of self on Instagram wearing PJs of her 4-year old daughter, Bryn.

The former “Real Housewives” star, however, has hit back at fans when criticized wearing her daughter’s clothes.

She claimed it was Bryn’s idea, reiterating no mother could say no when her daughter begs to sport her PJ.

Revealing her thin frame, Frankel proudly sported her daughter’s Hello Kitty sleepwear as seen in her personal photo posted on Instagram on July 13.

Wearing a big smile, the 43-year old actress shared the photo on the social network with a note that said, “This is my daughter's nightgown and PJ shorts. Think we're ready to start sharing clothes yet?," according to AceShowbiz.

What Frankel hoped to be a sweet gesture for her daughter turned out to be a big backlash on her as the photo raked in mixed reactions when viewed on Instagram.

A fan expressed concern on her thin frame and offered some suggestion.

"Bethany u need to start eating real food and quit just 'tasting' [you're] such a beautiful lady but so very thin," wrote a fan on Instagram.

Others received the photo with fun, even shared their experiences with own daughters.

"I'm pretty sure it's a joke," one fan noted on the photo, while another said, "This is awesome!!!! Only another mother who has a sense of humor can truly get the joke here!"

The entertainment news web site added that another fan said, "Super cute:) My daughter and I wear matching clothes sometimes."

Unable to contain her reactions to those who criticized her on the photo, Frankel again took to Twitter on July 14 and addressed the issue saying, "BREAKING NEWS! World Scandal: Former reality star, failed talk show host & cocktail maven jokes by wearing her kids' pjs! #itcantbetrue."

Frankel also attempted to put a stop to the noise created by the photo of her in daughter’s PJs by describing her as “just being silly,” adding, "When ur 4 year old peanut says 'mommy please put my dress on' & giggles uncontrollably, u do what ur told."

Frankel is a New York University graduate, known best for her role in “The Real Housewives of New York City.”

She was married to Jason Hoppy by whom she had a daughter, Bryn Hoppy. Their divorce was finalized in June 2013.

Bethenny Frankel also stars in reality show “Bethenny Getting Married” which was retitled “Bethenny Ever After.” She also appeared on ABC reality show “Skating with Stars.”
