Real Housewives of New York City star is in hot water after posting a picture of her and her daughter swimming with dolphins in the Caribbean.

“How is everyone? We’re going to swim with the dolphins today! Yay!” she wrote, later posting a video, saying, “See those dolphins out there?”

Apparently, she pissed off a lot of animal lovers, particularly those who are educated on dolphin captivity.

“I love you Bethenny, but you should really educate yourself on the realities of these ‘swim with the dolphins programs,’ ” one commenter wrote. “These are incredible smart animals that do not belong in captivity.”

“You rock but you should know better. Watch the docu on dolphin capture. You’re so smart. Can’t believe you would give your $$ to this terrible program for these poor babies,” another commented.

According to the Humane Society, dolphins used in Swim-With-the-Dolphins attractions are “commercially exploited.”

The reality star has since taken the video off her timeline.
