However, as Bethenny hit back she explained that she “wasn’t even criticizing their relationship,” telling her listeners that she “was saying, usually there’s only one peacock in a relationship.
” She then drew on her own experience to explain further adding that when she dated a peacock – meaning “very over the top, very loud and gregarious and needed to be the center of attention,” – it didn’t work out because of her own strong personality.
Bethenny added “I stand by that. I think that’s who Travis is,” referencing Travis being shown yelling at his coach Andy Reid in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVIII game – which he later apologized for – as a comparison to his father’s similar response to her. She added: “I did not mention Travis pushing his coach, which is a physical expression versus using your words and having a conversation. Which is kind of like what his dad did. He used an insult instead of using his intellect.
