Bethenny Frankel Trolls Her Fans by Wearing a Gigantic Diamond on Her Ring Finger

Bethenny Frankel is, as she puts it, a “professional reality star,” and a very good one at that. This week, she’s doing her best work off-camera. She posted a photo of herself to Instagram’s new Story feature and in the photo she appears to be flaunting what can only be described as a gargantuan diamond ring on her left ring finger. In the picture, she’s also hugging her boyfriend Dennis Shields. Naturally, the internet has been losing its collective mind:

According to People, however, Frankel is not engaged. Frankel, who recently finalized her divorce with Jason Hoppy after almost four years, has been dating Shields for a relatively short time but they actually met 27 years ago. He used to be friends with a high school friend of Frankel’s (she and the friend have since grown apart, but not because of this relationship). A friend told the mag, “Bethenny is happy and enjoying her summer.”

If she’s not engaged, she’s just become one of our favorite trolls of all time.
