Bethenny Frankel revealed earlier this week that she reached out to her estranged mum after her daughter Bryn asked about her. They had not spoken in 12 years.

But her mom, Bernadette Birk, countered to Radar Online that the 45-year-old didn't make an effort of her own accord, but just did what Bryn asked, and said she didn't have any emotion about it.

On Wednesday the RHONY star put on a brave face as she took to Snapchat to show off her toned figure.

Abs-fab! Bethenny Frankel revealed her impressively sculpted midsection as she posed in a tint blue triangle bikini on Wednesday

If her mother's cold comments was hurtful for the reality star, she was sure not to show it, as she showcased the figure she has built her brand on.

The small screen firecracker revealed her impressively sculpted midsection as she posed in a tiny blue triangle bikini.

She shared the Snapchat video, which left little to the imagination, of her reflection in a bathroom mirror.

The SkinnyGirl founder showed off the fruits of her healthy living as she revealed her slim waist and ripped physique.

Her chestnut tresses were worn loose and she appeared to be make-up free as she got set for a well-earned beach day.

She spent the Independence Day holiday weekend in the Hamptons, after recently revealed she had reached out to her mother following a 12 year feud.

During her Sirius XM radio show, B Real with Bethenny, the Real Housewives Of New York City star said it was her daughter Bryn, aged six, who asked her to call a truce.

'My daughter said, "Mommy, are your parents alive?" I said, "My daddy's not alive and my mommy is alive." She said, "I want to meet your mommy."'

This was a shock to the Bravo star who has not been close to her mother since fame hit.

Their relationship got nasty with bitter barbs traded on both sides after Frankel relayed some of the details of her tough upbringing in one of her books.

As recently as March, Bernadette told InTouch Weekly: 'She’s a miserable daughter, and if we never speak again, it’ll be too soon.'

Bethenny sounded understandably nervous about calling her mother.

'I thought, "Oh God, I've got to reach out to her,"' said the TV icon

But when she did, she got a nice reception, which surprised her.

'I think that she—and maybe my stepfather—have been hurt because some of the truths of my childhood have been in some of my books as it pertains to how I got here success-wise and how I got here sucking at relationships-wise,' Frankel said.

'So, I said to her, "This is my truth, and I've only told about 10 percent of my truth. And your life is your truth and what got you here.

'And the mistakes that you made—you had me at 20—I'm not angry. I'm just telling you that my daughter has asked for you. She's 6 years old."'

She added: 'It was actually not an excruciating conversation.'

Recently, Bethenny revealed she had reached out to her estranged mother Bernadette Birk, following a 12 year feud

However, it now seems that she and her mom haven't exactly kissed and made up.

Bernadette Birk told Radar Online her version of events,

'I don’t think she really reached out, her daughter asked about me,' she explained. 'She didn’t reach out; the daughter did.'

Birk said that she has never met Bryn, but had a chat with her and barely interacted with Bethenny during the phone call.

'Well, I just said hello,' she recalled. 'I don’t know the child. I’ve never seen her, so it was very short little conversation. I asked her about her school and her age and just simple little questions. I didn’t really speak to the mother that much.'

While one would think that getting back in touch with your child after 12 years of not speaking would be an emotional experience, Birk said she 'really had no feelings at all' about the situation.
