Frankel Says No Airbrushing In PETA Ad

Real Housewives Bethenny Frankel says she was pregnant during the photoshoot for her PETA anti-fur ad, though she hadn't started showing yet so it didn't hinder her from baring it all for the campaign. The 58-foot billboard was just unveiled in Times Square, and it's totally Photoshopped... right? Well, not according to the woman on it.

Frankel says: “I am especially pleased because it doesn’t look like there’s been any airbrushing." Really? Because it sort of looks like there was a whole hell of a lot of airbrushing.

Didn't she flip out on someone on her show when it was suggested that a photoshoot she did for a magazine no one ever heard of was airbrushed?

Yes, if I remember correctly (and it's sad that I even do), she flipped out that one of the other housewives allegedly told people it "must have been airbrushed" because she looked nice in the photos. Hence her interest in the airbrushing topic and probably the reason she even brought it up.

Riiight, no airbrushing or touch ups AT ALL, fine i'll believe that, if you tell us who the body stand in was!

Why does she always look as if she's just had her wisdom teeth pulled out? And yeah, they shopped the crap out of that muppet face.

Who fucking cares?

Well, I think you're reading her statement the wrong way. She's not saying "there was no airbrushing." Rather, she's saying "it doesn’t look like there’s been any airbrushing."

To complete her sentence: "I am especially pleased because it doesn’t look like there’s been any airbrushing...even though we all know that it's been airbrushed halfway to hell and back. So, hey, good job photoshop guy."

"I am especially pleased because it doesn’t look like there’s been any airbrushing." She is totally correct. "airbrushing" went out about 1986. She's been "shopped."

Is she in "Real Housewives" or "Desperate Housewives?"
