Bethenny Frankel’s enraged her “Real Housewives” co-stars after images of the Skinny Girl mogul — who has bizarrely squeezed into her 4-year-old daughter’s clothes — in a bikini on the beach surfaced this week.
It’s not jealousy of her buff bod, “Housewives” sources say, but because, an insider explained: “The daggers were out, and the ‘Housewives’ were furious [when they saw the photo]. Bethenny will pose for these ‘set-up’ paparazzi shots, but she refuses to stand in front of step-and-repeats at any of the other ‘Housewives’ events to promote their brands.”
The spy said Frankel recently rushed past a red carpet for photo ops at Sonja Morgan’s fashion show and said, “No, no, no,” rather than pose for pics that would help Morgan’s clothing line.
Ramona Singer, LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson and Kristen Taekman did.
“If you think those beach shots were accidental, you’re wrong!” insisted a “Housewives” insider.
Frankel was, however, photographed inside Morgan’s show because the Bravo program was filming inside, and cameras captured her in a row with Singer.
Spies said the show was filming its season finale at the time, and producers decided the argument was even more interesting than Morgan’s clothing, so they shut down the catwalk and the music for 10 minutes to capture the catfight instead.
But spies said Morgan also got into no less than three confrontations backstage, with her interns, a co-designer and a stylist — and had the same number of wardrobe malfunctions, too.
“Sonja couldn’t find any ‘boob tape’ for her plunging red jumpsuit,” a backstage spy said. “And her own jewels kept popping out. There were about three incidents.”
