Update: Did Bethenny Frankel Lie About Being Lost At Sea?

Two weeks ago we posted a story about Bethenny Frankel being lost at sea and needing to be towed back to land. But unfortunately for Frankel (and the Bravo network) she is being accused of making up the whole story for her reality show Bethenny Ever After. 

A towboat operator named Tim Russell was called out to help Frankel’s boat and is telling the Jewish Journal that when he got there, everything seemed perfectly fine. In fact, he says in order to find Frankel’s boat he was read the GPS coordinates by her therapist, where previously Frankel claimed the GPS had broken

Russell says that once he arrived, there was no need for a towing and the boat followed him back to shore. He began to realize something was off about the situation when Frankel jumped off the boat and kissed the dock– with the Bravo camera crew filming it all. 

As of yet there is no official comment from Frankel, but she has tweeted this “Let’s review last week’s idiocies 1)I have a”nice”coach 2)I’m getting divorced 3)I’m pregnant 4)I lied re:being lost at sea Anything else?”
