UPDATE: Page Six is on the case, and the other “housewives” are not amused.
Professional reality star Bethenny Frankel — most recently of The Real Housewives of New York City (a bit of a misnomer as she is unmarried and lives in an apartment) — is said to be pregnant by boyfriend Jason Hoppy, but you can’t tell at all from her new naked ad for PETA.
As per usual, PETA went hyperbolic in its praise of Frankel:
Frankel used to wear fur, but then she saw a skinned animal on display at a demonstration outside a cocktail party. After being exposed to images of animals who are anally electrocuted or have their necks broken before their skin is peeled from their bodies, Bethenny ditched fur forever. As one of the classiest and kindest people on reality television, the story behind her decision to go fur-free is sure to inspire others to make the same easy and humane pledge.
Classy and kind are not exactly how I’d describe someone who stabbed her ex-boss Martha Stewart in the back on national television. (Not like PETA really understands class in the first place.)
But like any other naked celeb in PETA’s anti-fur stable, all you have to do is google “Bethenny Frankel” to find out if she walks the walk. You know where this is going.
If you were to take a tour of Bethenny’s Upper East Side apartment, here’s what you would find:
- A fridge full of meat. Among the recipes included in Bethenny’s bestselling diet book Naturally Thin are Asian glazed sea bass, grilled beef tenderloin, shrimp scampi, and the “comfort turkey meatloaf” — very comforting to the turkey, I’m sure.
- Four dogs sharing small living quarters. In this video on PETA’s website, she talks about her four dogs who live in her one-bedroom apartment. Imagine what might happen if PETA got its mitts on them.
- Take-out menus for NYC’s best veal. On her blog Bethenny Bakes, she writes, “In Little Italy, for down home Italian, I like Angelo’s on Mulberry Street. Here you get straight up pasta, veal parmigiana, meatballs or anything Mamma would make.” Seriously? PETA picked a spokesperson who vouches for veal?
- Closets packed with crazy expensive leather goods. A few months ago she told StyleCaster.com that “peeptoe pink platform Louboutins or the Mahina Louis Vuitton bag in ivory” were at the top of her fashion wishlist. Louboutins? Leather. The LV Mahina? Leather.
I’m sure I could spend the rest of the day digging up more info that exposes Bethenny’s fraud, but I’ve got presents to wrap.

Never heard of her. Guess that’s why she’s doing the fake petard gig.
Never heard of her either. I eat meat, club baby seals, mock Peta, and have a general disdain for animals unless they’re on my plate, but I don’t even agree with eating veal. I tried it once, I thought it tasted like meat but nothing special.
….what is with PETA and its spokesnudes’ asses?
I’ve never heard of her and I don’t eat meat but I do wear leather and I did once have a purple rabbit fur coat.
What do you expect from a woman who can’t even spell her first name right? She must be the first person to ever “notice” an anti-fur demonstration that didn’t involve a flour bomb or paint. Story is as fake as the photo. She’d better have a massive one-bedroom apartment if she has four dogs living there. My sister lives in a three bedroom apartment, and it was rough on one dog when six people were in the apartment.
I wouldn’t recognize her if she was my next door neighbor.
Yeah, I think she came in second in Martha’s contest. She’s just as annoying of a Type-A as Stewart is. And lately, they way Stewart has been acting (since she got out of jail) she’s been hell-bent on spewing false info about non-Democrats on her show, making all-out false claims and quotes about Republican people e.g., “George Bush banned ALL stem cell research”…a load of B.S. And her brillant comments about Palin (“Uh…she’s boring…and dangerous…and boring and dangerous…”) really tells how inept she is politically. So yeah, I think that Frannkel is right about Stewart (I used to be a big fan mind you), but it still might be sour grapes, and the pot calling the kettle black on her part. She should just walk away and shut up.
And BTW, I’d pose in a PETA poster maybe if they could put my head on someone’s perfect 18 year old body too, heheh.
Here is a good video on the subject: http://meat.org
Yeah, and someone’s perfect 18 year old head!
never heard of her either, if you don’t want to wear fur then good for you, that’s your choice. but i don’t care to see your ass. “Professional reality star Bethenny Frankel — most recently of The Real Housewives of New York City (a bit of a misnomer as she is unmarried and lives in an apartment)” – i LOLed at the last part. thanks for the brush up deceiver because you know more than i do!
Yeah, isn’t this campaign a bit played out by now? They’ve never even changed up the verbiage in the slogan. I mean, how many years ago was it that they trotted out Pam Anderson and her sideboob and it actually registered (faintly) on the ol’ shock-o-meter? If the Petards are sitting on some fat stacks of cash sent in by all the self-righteous newly-vegan 13-year-olds, can’t they afford an ad agency once in a while?
I think the photo has been photo shopped.
her real body is not this good looking.

Aaaand yet another ’star’ proves him or herself to be Deceiver-worthy by doing the “Naked” campaign. If she is classy and kind, how in the name of Father Christmas did she get cast on a reality show? From the snippets of the “Housewife” franchise I see on “The Soup”, the image of the classy and kind housewife is not one that they are trying to perpetuate. Alas, it’s just the 21st century skanky version of ‘lazy housewife sitting on the couch eating bonbons and watching soap operas’. Just giving regular housewives a bad name. In the short amount of time it is taking me to make this comment, I’ve changed 2 diapers, broken up 3 fights, and put someone in time out. And it’s not even 8 AM. The items on my to-do list would number higher that these ‘housewives’ collective IQ.
Also, her bum looks like about as real as…well, reality TV!
Celebrities are pretty much prostitutes in all but name. I wish everybody jonesing to get their kit off would just approach Penthouse or Playboy and get it over with, so that the rest of us could be spared their heavily-Photoshopped asses thrust in our faces. THEY WANT TO BE NAKED, PERIOD. And that’s fine, it’s not like anyone could stop them. But they all need to quit pretending they’d have to be persuaded to go nude, and would only do it for some noble purpose. It’s as if Ashley Dupre started claiming she’d sleep around, but only with the likes of Nelson Mandela, ’cause he’s so great and such a hero. Chica, you’re a whore. Don’t play like you’re a holy whore; you’re just a whore. Period.
Who? It seems that anyone who is trying to be famous will whore themselves out for PETA and PETA loves it. Just another hypocrite here folks, move along now.
That retouched photo takes about 25 years off her.

Oh my Fortunate Son. That is her daughter in the picture maybe? Did she really think no one would notice? Silly woman
Note to self: If I ever need to look like I’ve got junk in my twiggy-ass trunk, hire the PETA photoshop team.
PETA has a noble cause. But sometimes they take it to the extreme. Plus they lie about their spokesperson’s life to tailor-fit the cause. It’s sad….

Note to self: If I ever want to get rid of my belly, hire the PETA photoshop team. And in twenty years, when I want to look like I’m my own kid, hire them again.
“Very comforting to the turkey, I’m sure”…I really don’t care about anything anymore, especially anything to do with this post, but man I’ve had a horrible day and that bit of snark just made my day.
Off-topic: my husband’s a non-American and the term “comfort food” drives him into ranting rages. It really is a nauseating concept, now that I think of it.
Um Beth – PETA doesn’t believe in domestic pets – so wonder how that bit of information got past them…
Lol this is worse than Pink “I live in leather” slamming Prince William for fox-hunting!! Do PeTA reps think people take them seriously??
It’s okay, Catharine. Pink is still a rawk star who drinks while driving a riding lawnmower down the street. I think it’s safe to say no one takes her seriously.
