If we didn’t think the rumored $100 mil that Bethenny Frankel pocketed from her Skinny Girl Margarita brand solidified her as a bona fide celebrity, then the E! True Hollywood story profiling her next week surely will.
‘E! THS: Bethenny Frankel’ premiering Wednesday, September 21 at 10p ET will reveal how a skinny girl from a broken home became New York City’s most outspoken and respected housewife. In addition to being a reality TV star on a hugely popular franchise, Frankel’s resume also includes New York Times best selling author, renowned chef, business mogul, nutrition guru, and dedicated mother. In an exclusive sit-down interview with THS, Frankel takes E! on the emotional roller coaster that is her life.
Bethenny rarely disappoints so this should be no exception. Pictured here is Bethenny looking so happy with daughter Bryn last week in NYC.
