Bethenny Frankel, former star of 'Real Housewives,' has criticized Chanel for its 'elitist and exclusionary' practices after being denied entry to a Chanel store in Chicago on May 22. Frankel, who was turned away for not having an appointment, expressed her frustration by stating she was treated like an 'interloper.' She was wearing a T-shirt at the time. Despite initially being refused entry, she later returned to the store wearing Chanel and was allowed in without issue. Frankel's experience at the Chicago Chanel Boutique has sparked discussions about the accessibility and customer service of high-end retail stores.
