Bethenny Bikini Charity: Bethenny Frankel Bares Cleavage, Takes Ice Bucket Challenge
At 43, Bethenny Frankel’s bikini bod at a charity event boasted cleavage and fierce attitude.
The formerReal Housewives of New York City reality TV star and founder of Skinnygirl cocktails, spent Saturday at the beach in Sag Harbor, New York to support a charity paddle boat race for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson accompanied Frankel, but all eyes were on Bethenny’s smoking-hot bikini body, citing an E! report.
Bethenny strutted around the beach donning a Skinnygirl hat, pair of black aviators, some neck bling and a two-piece red and navy blue-dotted string bikini. Frankel appeared very comfortable in her skin, and appeared to be walking the sandy beach as if she owned it.
The outspoken talk show host has come under fire in the past for promoting a thin way of life. She defends herself by touting the health benefits of eating for nutrition and managing what goes into one’s body. Arguably, in her defense, the latest snaps of her toned frame doesn’t support criticism that she’s, well…too skinny.
In addition to showing off ample cleavage in bikini at the breast cancer charity event, Bethenny joined a growing list of celebrities who took the Ice Bucket Challenge. Two of her former Housewives co-stars, Ramona Singer and LuAnn de Lesseps, already took the plunge for a good cause.

Essentially, it’s a feat that involves a person having a bucket of ice and water dumped on their head. The challenge, which aims to bring awareness to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), has already raised millions for the degenerative condition.
Arguably, Bethenny Frankel’s bikini ensemble is a more appropriate choice of attire to boast her assets. Recently, she came under fire for posting a photo of herself on Instagram donning her daughter’s clothes. Tabloids and some fans viewed the image with negative sets of lens, and claimed that Frankel, known for her open-book lifestyle, had gone into the deep end of the ocean, so to speak.
However, she quickly responded to critics and put the image in context. Little did anyone know, the former reality television star said she did it to appease her daughter, who suggested she try it on. Anything for the kids, right?
Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy settled their nasty child custody battle back in June, and the talk show host faced sagging reviews of her daytime show recently. However, sources close to her says she feels liberated after her split with Jason, and is now in a good place in her life. And judging from Bethenny’s bikini photos at Saturday’s charity event, she’s getting her groove back.
