Exclusive Photos: Bethenny Frankel Shares Untouched Nude Pic With Us

Bethenny Frankel is no shrinking violet. The pregnant Real Housewives of New York star posed nude for a PETA billboard that was unveiled Dec. 15 in Manhattan's Times Square. Now, she's talking back to the housewives and other haters who have suggested that the butt-baring photo was heavily airbrushed -- and she's shared the photo evidence (the original, untouched image) exclusively with UsMagazine.com.
Look back on these unforgettable catfights
"Everything I'm about is being honest and being upfront," Frankel, 39, tells UsMagazine.com. "So if people are talking and saying [the photo] was airbrushed...then, you know what? Here's the picture. Have it your way."
Biggest freakouts of 2009! Recap them all
The author of new cookbook The Skinnygirl Dish adds that she would "never, ever allow them to put up a billboard that was really far from the truth."
Now four months pregnant with her first child, Frankel disrobed for the shots on a Manhattan rooftop in September. Although she's never posed nude before, she says "I wasn't that freaked out about it. I don't know why. PETA has no interest in making me look sleazy. It was such an honor."
As for the pregnancy? "It's been great. I haven't been particularly nauseous, and I get a decent night's sleep, which is refreshing. My boobs are big, but other than that, nothing's crazy."
Still, she confides that expecting a baby is a "weird" experience, "To be honest, being pregnant is weird. Whoever says any different is probably lying. It's a strange, strange thing."

The dad-to-be is Frankel's fiance, Jason Hoppy. Although the couple announced their engagement in October, they have put off planning their nuptials until after Frankel gets through her pregnancy, a book tour, the third season of Housewives (which just wrapped shooting) and her new untitled solo reality show. "There's no plan whatsoever!" Frankel says.
Tell Us What You Think
146first of all-there's no T in grinch, retard.. and everyone needs to give the woman a break--she looks fine, especially for her age.... it's 2011, is everyone STILL offended by a little semi-"nudity"??? come on..
wow! Jealousy really is a curse isn't it - I think she looks fantastic in this pic - with or without the airbrushing.
All I have to say about this is: BOOB. GONE!! Boob...GONE!
Bethanny that picture is the same exact one as the PETA one. You can tell by the hair do you think we cant see it. You are as fake as your face and boobs.
NOW......She looks like her arm is a nub and has been chopped off.
ehh...she looks great either way. Airbrushed is the stylized way we all like to to be remembered as, and the way we remember things. Even the great oil portraits of the past, Washington, Jefferson, Gilbert Stuart etc, are "retouched" in a way. Jeez....even yearbook pics are retouched. Anyway, like i said...ehh...she looks great either way.
she is ugly on the inside & her face looks like the GRINTCH
In response to: December 21, 2009 - 2:46pm Chris Says: ... for those out there who are not in the entertianment & marketing world... The age old thing for marketers and publicists there are some things that the "subject" or "talent" as they are called..." Oh, buddy, do you really think you have so much "industry insider" wisdom to share, with your "...or 'talent' as they are called..." to disguise how laughable you sound? For one, your post is so riddled with grammar and spelling errors, you seem too uneducated to make a credible "expert" - secondly, what you explained with your "bossy panties on" is pretty common knowledge. Next time? invest in spell check. It won't increase your credibility, but will hide your "insider wannabe" vibe a little better. Try again next time. Thanks for playing.
You would have to be blind not to see this was airbrushed photo. She is as fake inside as out. And for never posing nude, I guess technically that is right- however she was topless in a bad 80's semi porn film Thank god she got breast implants her boobs were hanging down toward her knees.
Bethenny looks great either way! In some ways I like her untouched photo better. Sure they did a great job smoothing out her skin tone all over.....but they thinned out her thigh and butt area as well. She's naturally shapely, no need to sculpt her! You look fabulous Bethenny.....congrats on your pregnancy!
I'm 39 yrs. old too. Figure-wise, I look more like Bethenny's touched-up photo. If anything, I've been busting my butt at the gym trying to look more like SHE does in real life.

the un-retouched photo is bullsh%* and the reason "she still looks great for a 39-year old" -- the copious amounts of cosmetic surgery she's had. Her entire face has been done along with her breasts yet the only surgery she's ever admitted to was a "breast lift." Really Bethany? What was there to lift? No prior pregnancies and naturally flat as a pancake (see old photos). And a lift is just that; an elevation of the natural tissue - NOT IMPLANTS! Oh and btw, its realatively easy to be a "skinny girl" when you shove your finger down your throat after every meal. If you want an honest assessment of her looks buy a high-resolution tv and hope for a close-up.
barely retouched ?? they even retouched her elbows !
i honestly have no idea who this woman is (i abhor reality TV and don't watch it) but she looks great. yes, the airbrushed photo is very photoshopped, but she still looks great for a 39-yr-old in the untouched (more natural looking) shot.
Bethany looks wonderful touched or untouched. She is an amazing woman no matter what.
