Is Bethenny Really "Telling it all"?

 

 

 

Since leaving Bravo in 2019, Bethenny Frankel has become known for exposing the brutal truth about beauty products on social media. The former Real Housewives of New York City star brought it to another level when she opened up about some of the plastic surgeries that she's had done. 

 

Bethenny, 52, began the conversation on Instagram. “Let’s have the plastic surgery conversation”.  She says she owes it to her fans to be completely transparent with them, especially after entering the beauty space.  She says that she does not need to give full details about her sex or financial life (darn!), but instead feels a responsibility because of all the conversations she has had about skin.  Bethenny says it would be fraudulent of her to go for a cosmetic procedure and act like it was natural.

 

Frankel started the post by telling us that she is considering having some more work done.  She also revealed what she had done over the years, and that's where it gets a little dicey.  Bethenny claims that she was using Botox to reduce a "bicep muscle" in the cheek area of her face, which I guess explains her "Hoo-like" appearance.  I believe she means the "buccinator" muscle which is often referred to as the "trumpeter" muscle (the bicep muscle is in the arm).  She then says that she has only done fillers once, and also had her breasts lifted about fifteen years ago.  Hmmm.  Well there's no point in me repeating what she siad ... check out the video.

 

 

 

The Skinny Girl mogul then bashed insecure women who lie about their surgeries, and their bank accounts.  Apart from posting reviews of beauty products for her 2.8 million followers, Frankel has also spoken against the excessive use of filters. “This is NOT what I look like. And you know that bc I’m not vain and show you the real me”, Bethenny captioned along with a series of very unflattering (before and after) photos. 

 

Bethenny wants people to know that these filtered images are not only deceptive, but an outright lie.  She believes that being pummeled with fake images on a daily basis warps people's realities, making women in particular, strive for unrealistic body goals, often set by men.  Ugh, again with the "women" thing.
