'RHONY' Star Bethenny Frankel Takes a Swipe at Kim Kardashian: 'Filtering Is Lying'
"The Real Housewives of New York City" star Bethenny Frankel throws shade at reality star Kim Kardashian amidst photoshopping accusations in a recent photo.
In a recent post on Instagram, the "Keeping up the Kardashians" star was recently exposed in a viral TikTok, to which she received criticism for allegedly photoshopping her poolside photo promoting her Beats Fit Pro collection.
Now, reality star Bethenny Frankel posted an Instagram photo of herself in a bikini, which she revealed to be photoshopped. According to her caption, she believes that manipulating physical appearances is "lying" and "deceptive". Interestingly, the 51-year-old star recently called out Kim Kardashian's skincare line.
"Filtering is lying: it is deceptive. It makes women feel badly about themselves. It makes young girls insecure and obsessed with an unattainable perfection. It makes middle-aged women and mothers feel insecure about themselves." The 51-year-old reality star captioned.
Flaunting her figure, the "The Real Housewives of New York City" star featured in the same post a second photo that shows what she really looks like without photoshop. Frankel also noted how these types of posts contribute to creating disorders, insecurity, and depression for women. "This creates a false ideal for men. It's the opposite of inspirational. It's destructive. It's irresponsible. It's insecure and it's inaccurate. There is a line between making an effort to look pretty and an outright falsehood." Frankel wrote in her caption. Frankel ended her post with a series of hashtags that aim to empower the reality of women's bodies. Many fans and co-stars shared their praise in the comments section. READ ALSO: Lea Michele Fed Up?
