Bethenny Frankel, star of the Real Housewives of NYC appeared on the Today Show this morning, and touched on a lot of topics. The video is below.
Bethenny discussed the rather controversial nude picture she took for PETA. She had been criticized for saying little to no airbrushing was done, when the actual before and after photo showed a lot of airbrushing. “There was a rogue boob they took out,” Bethenny told TODAY’s Matt Lauer of the photo, which was taken when she was pregnant. “It’s a little airbrushed, but the truth is, here it is. I don’t care.”
She continued, “It wasn’t like I was posing for a fitness video or I was trying to be a model. It was about not wearing fur, which I’m really passionate about.”
When asked about her pregnancy and wedding plans to fiance, Jason Hoppy, Bethenny told Lauer she’s too busy thinking about her baby to plan a wedding. She is due in June 2010 by the way. Bethenny also said that people might have to change how they view her once she becomes a mom. “I think people think I’m a little abrasive,” she said. “It’s going to be hard for people to imagine me being soft and cuddly with a little, cute pink baby.”
Bethenny who just wrapped up filming the 3rd season of the Real NYC Housewives has been given her own reality show on Bravo. The show is currently in production, but according to Bethenny, she might still return for a 4th season of the NYC Housewives. “Who knows if I’ll be on ‘Housewives’?” she told Lauer. “This season is so incredible, it’s nice to leave the part at full-tilt.”











Whatever! She really thinks very highly of herself, doesn’t she? Holy Moly! All the denying she did about the photo not being airbrushed and now she is acting as though its no big deal! “It’s a little airbrushed, but the truth is, here it is. I don’t care.” A little airbrushed my *ss! They removed every single crevice around her mouth, her boob is gone, her arm looks deformed, etc. But that was just A LITTLE AIRBRUSHING! SURE!! It would have been less airbrushing if they just put up a caricature of her instead. Too funny!
“It’s going to be hard for people to imagine me being soft and cuddly with a little, cute pink baby.”
Is this a Freudian slip regarding the gender of the baby?
And, FTR, I can’t see self-absorbed Bethenny being soft and cuddly with ANYTHING.
What is she trying to prove? Isn’t she a little long in the tooth to be having a baby? She’s got to be in her mid 40s by the looks of those laugh lines and the sagging flesh on her thinning bones. The balloon on her chest did seem out of place considering. Rouge isn’t the word, it’s repulsive
She probably paid PETA to be in that ad for publicity. I can’t imagine they didn’t see the fallout from that coming. Her Bravo talk show sounds like an empty promise or a out and out lie. If she lied about the airbrushing, she will lie about many other things.
This woman is really a complete moron, intellectually and is emotionally quite stunted. She actually thinks she invented peas with avocado when I’ve been making this dish for years. Plus here is a recipe from 2001 which doesn’t have her name anywhere near it. She is faux person…as a word she likes to use a lot. Her only gift is the one of gab, and her ability to use her tremendous amount of confidence in herself to her advantage. I don’t begrudge that at all…I think that part is great, but she comes across as a soulless, mean spirited, obnoxious, shallow, superficial, individual and the people who follow her are pretty much the same themselves. Because if you reallly hear her talk she is not the brightest bulb in the pack.
This is a recipe link using peas in guacamole that Bethenny claims she invented. Just like she claims she invented the low fat Margarita. She may have been the first person to bottle it, but she’s delusional in her brain if she actually thinks she invented the combination….Poor girl, I actually feel very sorry for her.

What is the big freakin’ deal about Bethenny? Somebody please tell me. So help me, she works my last nerve!
There is no big deal about her. She just keeps shoving herself down our throats. We have been Bethenney saturated~ YUCK!
LoL Carmen..Happy New Year Everyone!
LEAVE THE SHOW, BETHENNY!!! As a matter of fact, leave TV altogether.
You people are just HATERS and wish you were just as successful as Bethenny. So what you were making the same dish she is making now!!! The difference is she is making a lot of money from it, and you and all the other HATERS on here are not.
She is lucky that she found someone that really loves her,or the attention he gets for being with her,either way her d-list fame got her a man that so far seems half way decent.
This was probably the last year of her life that she could biologically get pregnant without any kind of outside help,her man is “Fertile Mertal” to bring those eggs to life!!
Hopefully motherhood will help her look at things in a different way and not always about me,me,me!
I think this baby will do her good…
