Who’s Afraid of a Flying Dior Bag?
The New York Times
To weigh in on the rash of reported drone sightings without fear of content suppression, Bethenny Frankel borrowed a term from the fashion world.
In the last few weeks, Bethenny Frankel has been talking a lot about Dior bags on TikTok. The subject itself isn’t unusual: As a reality TV star and entrepreneur, she frequently posts about fashion topics to her 2.4 million followers, including in a feature Ms. Frankel calls “Handbag University,” where she offers reviews and tutorials.
But the tone of Ms. Frankel’s posts about Dior is strikingly different than a typical conversation about luxury goods. Less Vogue and more Jason Bourne.
In a post on Monday, Ms. Frankel suggested there was a cover-up at play.
“I’ve received several Dior bag videos and messages about sightings which are obviously not being reported in the mainstream media,” she said.
The day before, Ms. Frankel said she had been talking to an unnamed source about the Dior bag situation, and that this person — the father of someone Ms. Frankel knows — had passed along top-secret intelligence.
“If our government tries to tell us that they’re from China, that these bags are from China, that we have an issue,” Ms. Frankel said, cryptically, repeating what she said her source had told her, “that would be very alarming.”
