Bethenny Frankel Lies About Skinny Girl Financials

Just days after the Bethenny’s not-quite-lost-at-sea scandal, the reality TV star has been caught in another lie. Last June she was featured on the cover of Forbes magazine for reportedly making $120 million dollars from selling her Skinny Girl Cocktail Mix. 
Financial reports have revealed that Frankel only made $8.1 million from the sale. The amount that Frankel claimed she made set her annual earnings above Taylor Swift, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Huffington Post reported that Forbes issued a statement today about the situation, stating “”We’re taking this very seriously. We based our numbers at the time of reporting on solid sources. We’re aware of the new information…and we’re looking into it right now.” What do you think collegiettes™? Are you convinced that Frankel is telling tall tales or are you going to wait for more details?
