'F*** your skinny brand': 'RHONJ' star and ED survivor Jackie Goldschneider slams Bethenny Frankel
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jackie Goldschneider of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' has attacked Bethenny Frankel's famous lifestyle brand Skinnygirl. Jackie, who has previously spoken frankly about her struggles with eating disorders, expressed her dissatisfaction with the thin-focused product line on PageSix's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast.
Jackie has spoken up about her ongoing fight with anorexia on Bravo's 'RHONJ'. During Season 12, the former lawyer spoke up to her fans about her eating problem rehabilitation. In April, she told Page Six that she was "out of the danger zone in terms of health problems" and was seeing a therapist twice a week, in addition to weekly check-ins with a medical nutritionist. Skinnygirl was created in 2008 with the introduction of a low-calorie, pre-made margarita mix. In 2011, she sold Skinnygirl Cocktails, which later expanded into wine, vodka, and ready-to-drink cocktails, for an estimated $120 million. However, Bethenny retained the right to license the brand name, allowing her to continue expanding the Skinnygirl line.
