Real Housewives of NYC star Bethenny Frankel won’t take her clothes off for just anyone. PETA got Frankel’s support for their anti-fur campaign, even though she was pregnant at the time of the shoot. Frankel weighs in on how much Photoshopping was involved.
Bethenny Frankel was a New York City socialite and entrepreneur before being hit with the spotlight from Bravo in their hit reality series, The Real Housewives of New York City. But that attention has put the “Skinnygirl” cook on the map.
Now she’s on the street as well – in Times Square, that is. Today, a 58-foot billboard was unveiled featuring the 16-week pregnant star fully nude as part of PETA’s “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” campaign. Past models have included Khloe Kardashian and Twilight‘s Christian Serratos.
Frankel spoke to the New York Post about the ads, saying, “It’s so tasteful and beautifully done. I am especially pleased because it doesn’t look like there’s been any airbrushing, and I was already pregnant when I shot it.”
Frankel is currently 16 weeks pregnant; however, most first-time mothers begin “showing” as late as six months, some even later if they are very thin like Frankel, according to JustMommies.com.
Frankel has had more than a little airbrushing in real life; she told People magazine that she had a breast lift after a post-college 20-pound weight loss so that she “didn’t feel like a saggy mess.” She also says she tried Botox once but that she wouldn’t do it again because “[injectables] are scary!”
The Real Housewives of New York City‘s third season will air in March.
