Jackie Goldschneider, who has been open about her lifelong struggles with an eating disorder, is calling out Bethenny Frankel for creating a brand marketed after a thin female physique.
“Bethenny has Skinnygirl, and I’ve got a very strong opinion on this one because I say, ‘F–k marketing skinny,’” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 46, told Page Six’s Evan Real and Danny Murphy during a live taping of the “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast at City Winery in New York City on Monday.
“I’m sick of f–king marketing skinny. I don’t want to drink something because it’s going to keep me skinny, so f–k you, Bethenny. F–k your skinny brand. That’s how I really feel.”
Frankel’s rep Jill Fritzo exclusively tells Page Six in response, “Bethenny has personal experience with this topic and speaks about it in detail in her book ‘Naturally Thin’ and ‘Business Is Personal.’
“Jackie has reached out to Bethenny and corresponded several times, so it’s interesting that she didn’t reach out there. She is very engaged and connected to her audience. Bethenny wishes Jackie well on her personal and business journey!”
