Bethenny Frankel Photo: PETA
Bethenny Frankel recently posed naked for PETA’s “I rather go naked than wear fur campaign.” During the photo shoot, shot on the rooftop of a NYC building, Bethenny sat down with TV Guide Magazine and stated her motivation to bear it all and how she felt about posing in the buff.
When asked how she felt about posing naked Bethenny stated, “Oh, I’m really excited. I think it’s a really amazing cause. It’s very simple to say to people, “You get to make a choice, and you can choose not to wear fur. It’s such a frivolous thing to do, and I used to do it. I wasn’t a crazy fur-wearer, certainly—I couldn’t afford it and I’m not that outlandish—but it really is so superfluous.”
She was then asked if she felt insecure about her body and posing naked Bethenny stated, “I don’t know why that part doesn’t bother me that much…it’s like, everybody has a body, everyone’s naked, I have the biggest pimple on my face right now and I don’t even care that much. I’m not a supermodel—no one’s expecting me to be stunning. I read the blogs—people say, “You’re the Corpse Bride, you’re too skinny, you’re this, you’re that.” It’s all good. I’ve always had a thick skin. I think it’s a light-hearted, fun thing for a great cause.”
Bethenny was then asked how she got involved with PETA and she stated, “I’m a huge animal lover, so it’s been a very organic process. I’m not on the top of any soapbox, but I think this is just a really interesting thing, and they came to me. They [noticed] that I’d gotten a lot of exposure lately—pun intended; because that’s nothing like the exposure I’m getting today. I guess they trust that I’ll be able to carry the message.”
The ad will be released this fall, so stay tuned!

I think Bethenny is an amazing role model for all women in all walks of life. She is an independent self=assured savvy business woman who also would love to be loved and have a family of her own. I love the way she has such strong convictions and isn't afraid to stand up for them. Without this show, we (women across the globe), may never have heard of Bethenny Frankel, but I for one find her refreshing, no nonsense and someone to aspire to be like.
Thanks for having the courage to have fun on film and take us along with you. PETA couldn't have had a better role model in my humble opinion!

PETA is not a good cause.
