Bethenny Frankel has built a franchise and identity on being the Skinnygirl, but now that the reality star’s life is in turmoil she’s become the TOO Skinnygirl! In today’s not so surprising news the media is questioning Bethenny’s behavior yet again — this time for her gaunt appearance!
Bethenny has always been on the teeny side causing fans to wonder about her weight and lifestyle choices for years — particularly because of some controversial statements regarding losing and maintaining weight in her book Naturally Thin.
Life & Style is reporting that the itty-bitty former Housewife has insiders “concerned” about Bethenny over-doing it, despite claims that she doesn’t do anything “extreme”, and preaches “everything in moderation.” Reality Tea has reported that Bethenny’s weight has dropped severely in recent years.
According to the mag all the upheaval surrounding the brand and image she has worked so hard to cultivate is taking a toll on Bethenny, who an observer notes looked “very thin” at a recent appearance. “Her arms were particularly tiny and frail. She looked almost sickly.” Another eyewitness confirms: “Bethenny is scary skinny in person. She looks emaciated and ill.”
An insider speculates that with Bethenny losing control of her “world” she is taking it out on her diet and has become “obsessive” about portion size and has taken to eating snacks, like small bags of pretzels, instead of a meal or she claims she forgot to eat. “Because I’m so busy, I’m not always hungry,” she confessed to the mag. Bethenny has made no secret of her struggles with her weight, telling anyone who would listen that her mother, Bernadette Birk, sent her to weight-loss camp as a child and that her classmates called her a “whale.”
Additionally, Bethenny is desperate to regain the public’s positive image of her as the “rags to riches, little girl lost who made it big” and is apparently using her weight to gain acceptance from the media and fans.”Bethenny’s in a panic,” an insider reveals. “She’s being attacked left and right for not being real.”
Indeed, Bethenny’s fear of public rejection has left her so worried she’s hired help! “She’s so frantic to improve her image, she’ s hired image consultants to guide her through 2012.” Well, I say she needs it with all the nonsense she’s been embroiled in lately!
While insiders are claiming Bethenny’s life is falling apart the Bethenny Ever After star recently blogged about all she has to be thankful for. After imparting her advice for a healthy and simple holiday meal, Bethenny noted her appreciation for her amazingly patient husband Jason Hoppy, her daughter Bryn and dog Cookie.
“I’m most thankful for my family, and in particular my beautiful baby girl Bryn. She has changed my perspective on life. She has made me more grateful and aware, and has given me different purpose than I had before,” Bethenny wrote.
“I’m grateful for a loving and supportive husband who is a great father to Bryn and a good friend to me,” she added. “I’m especially grateful to Cookie who has been with me through the most difficult and influential stages of my life. She is woman’s best friend and I love her as much as a child.”
I’m glad Bethenny is recognizing all the people who put up with her cray-cray and still love her for the wack-a-doo she sometimes is! Hopefully 2012 will be a more positive year for Team Frankel or I’m predicting she may go the crash and burn route of the Kardashians with too many negatives and too many scandals overshadowing the positives! Best of luck Bethenny in getting things on track and remember: eat some holiday cookies!
THOUGHTS ON THE ARTICLE – DO YOU BELIEVE BETHENNY IS TOO THIN? IS SHE JUST REACTING TO STRESS OR DOES SHE HAVE A PROBLEM? DO YOU THINK 2012 WILL IMPROVE FOR BETHENNY OR ARE FANS TIRING OF HER CONSTANT DRAMA?
If Bethenny ever comes to San Antonio, I will treat her to a 10 course Tex-Mex meal.
was at the doctor’s office this afternoon and in the waiting room wuz skinny gurl messin up the cover of People mag holiday issue – in the article she still blaming Daddy and could kinda tell the way written she’d cry-babyed to the interviewer about havin go to Catholic church on Christmas Day with Jason’s parents in Pennsylvania, ENUf OF THE WHINE SKINNY GIRL, ENUF !!
Bethenny, honey, you are looking more and more like your momma!
I am shocked at this photo! She looks awful, really bad. As bad as it looks in the photo, in person it is much worse. I can’t imagine!
Is she shooting for a role on The Walking Dead? My God, she needs help and fast!
She does look terrible. Huge head in a small body. She’s anorexic but who cares? It’s her problem.
Keep in mind, she could be taking diet pills to intentionally lose weight and attract sympathy for all the bad publicity she has been getting. Funny how this story made it’s way in the headlines as her show is preparing to air. Don’t you think? Some of these reality t.v. people will do anything for publicity and to stay on the air. This would not surprise me one bit if this is just another stunt job. Taylor did the same. She took diet pills to appear like she was losing weight from stress. Self Induced Sickness For Sympathy.
So that 8 million dollars she earned isn’t making her happy?
She has lost weight. I think it is important for her to look healthy in order to validate her brand. She loses a lot of weight and starts to look emaciated. That’s not a good image.
Bethenny looks like a skelton wrapped in a blue garbage bag.
Bobblehead
bethenny is too skinny and way overrated
Looking like a skeleton is not an attractive look.
As a matter of fact, she now appears “all head and mouth” because her limbs look like something a 5th grader would draw on paper for an art project.
The last thing Queen Bethenny needs is for her mouth to look any bigger. Like it could swallow you whole!
SKINNY GHOUL forgot to eat when she was prego- she never forgets t0 eat her meth.
yeh, she also “claims”
that her boobs are real
pfft
whatevs
Like Bethenny, I have suffered from an eating disorder since my early teens. I understand what she is going through. Her weight decrease is probably due to too much work, too much exercise, keeping up with Bryn, and just loving to be thin on television. Let’s face it ladies, when we are thinner than normal, we love the way our clothes look and fit.
She needs to get rid of her breast implants. The skinnier she gets, the more her breasts look like grapefruits…
KARMA IS A BITCH .
GUILT IS A BITCH .
BYE BITCH .
Bethenny needs to not only get rid of her Implants she needs to get rid of her head.
How can they call her story “rags to riches” when she was always/come from “riches” BS….she has not been getting PRESS lately….i smell a PR stunt.
@65 My mother had 6 children, what’s Bethenny’s story. I sympathize with your story, i do understand, but “keeping up” with ONE child, WOW how does she do it.
Now if she could just forget to be a famewhore.
She does look too thin in that picture. She’s supposed to appear on Ellen Thursday, Dec 8. Guess then we’ll know if she’s really lost a great deal of weight or whether that was an unfortunate snap of her.
Isn’t she a “chef”? I never trust emaciated chefs.
MJ: As Forbes reconfirmed, she’s made at least $55 million this year. $8 million was the value place on the good name of the brand.
For the rest of you: Weight goes up and down, depending on busyness and stressors. So what?
I swear some of you sound like Housewives dropped from the franchise. I guess some of you are.
OMG! It doesnt look good or healthy to be that thin!
I have been there where I get in beast mode and work constantly and dont eat BUT I can also afford to miss a few meals.
As it isnt healthy for your heart or blood pressure to be overweight, It is not healthy for your heart or blood pressure to be exremely thin. Overweight people die from a more extensive list of things, Thin people ALSO die of stroke and heart attack.
@73 Michael’s Mom, then this lich should spend some of that cash on a few good meals and stop worrying that she is going to look fat,
This is NOT a good look for her and until she can get a more healthy appearance bitch needs to keep out of the public eye.
@72 NYwatcher, , YOU shouldn’t
In her defense, I have a similar build and metabolism. After my first child, I found it impossible to keep weight on. I know I looked like skelator, but there really wasn’t anything I could do about it. If you’re busy and have that tendency anyway, sometimes it can’t be helped.
she looks bad and should go into treatment to get healthy. Do it for your daughter!
When was that picture taken? seems like a picture from the beginning of the year. I have seen recent pictures of her and she doesn’t like that skinny anymore. Reality Tea, do you care to publish the day the picture was taken?
I use to actually be a fan of Bethenny Frankel and really enjoyed her spin off show. Now she is in the media constantly with negative comments. She may be busy and forget to eat but she never forgets to drink!!! She is starting to look very sickly and old and she really needs to get a grip because she has burned a few bridges and she really doesn’t want to run off her fine and awesome husband because she has displayed disrespect and rudeness towards him. Maybe she is having a hard time getting pregnant again because she can’t put the booze down!. I really believe she is a fake in many, many ways!! She is destroying herself because she has taken on way two many projects at once. It does not take long for fans to grow tired and bored with celebrities, especially when we suspect they are dishonest!
Dang!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish my fat azz would forget to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enough already!!! B is way past her expiration date. Bravo needs to get rid of her. She is DISGUSTING!!!!!!!
She was just on the W W show and claimed the 8 million to be irresponsible journalism. Funny she calls that out but not the “irresponsible” 120+million quote, when it’s in her favor. Felt like I was watching her PR spin. When was she ever poor?
