Have the ladies and viewers of The Real Housewives of New York City learned nothing over the years? The lessons learned: 1. Bethenny Frankel will always tell it like it is. 2. She's fiercely protective of her business.RELATED: Bethenny Frankel and Eric Stonestreet Set the Dating Rumors Straight
On the Wednesday, May 11 episode of RHONY, Sonja Morgan threw herself a birthday party and introduced the world to Tipsy Girl, her new line of Prosecco. Ramona Singer was quick to say: "Skinnygirl and Tipsy Girl? A little too close to home." Next week we see Bethenny address the whole situation, as you can see in the preview below ("It's a personal insult and I don't want anything to do with you," Bethenny says), but she took to her Bravo blog to give audiences a taste.
"It is my mission to help women in business and give them inspiration and guidance, but also to not fool them into thinking you go on TV and voila you have a business," she wrote while addressing her Skinnygirl protein shake launch that was depicted on the show.
"Sonja has had: an event company, a jewelry line, toaster, Nigerian football team, fashion line, and now a Prosecco--none of which have come to fruition. It is laughable but more sad," she wrote.
"Women, this is not how it works. This is the problem when being a reality star is your actual job versus having a career the show follows. People create imaginary businesses to stay relevant."
The Queen B of RHONY said there is room for everyone in the drink pool, as other women including Ramona, Teresa Giudice, NeNe Leakes and Vicki Gunvalson have followed suit in launching spirits.
"I know the numbers and believe me, it isn't easy and almost all have discontinued or are currently a vanity play. I have begrudged none of them. There is room for everyone, and I hit it out of the park," she wrote. "I believe people are wondering how I will feel about Tipsy Girl because Sonja has a drinking problem. I have a brand called Skinnygirl including a Prosecco, and I am supposedly her mentor who had no idea. Please note, the product is not available for sale. This may just be another sideshow to stay on the main show."
