Bethenny Frankel looked sensational in a red one-piece swimsuit as she hit the beach in The Hamptons in Long Island, New York this weekend to enjoy the last days of summer.
The 51-year-old former reality TV star wore her dark hair down under a straw sun hat and flashed her diamond jewelry as she worked on her tan.
This comes after she criticized the Kardashian family for altering their social media images to an unattainable level which is determinantal to the mental health of young women.
Late summer siren: Bethenny Frankel looked sensational in a red one-piece swimsuit as she hit the beach in The Hamptons in Long Island, New York this weekend to enjoy the last days of summer. The 51-year-old former reality TV star wore her dark hair down under a straw sun hat and flashed her diamond jewelry as she worked on her tan
In the new images Frankel was seen solo as she walked in the sand while chatting on her cell phone.
She added dark sunglasses and looked to be in tip top shape.
On September 2, Frankel swiped at the Kardashian family for ‘irresponsible’ photoshopping because Kim had smoothed out her neck and removed her trapezius muscle from the image.
‘It’s not fair to women just trying to get by. It’s irresponsible, it’s reckless, it’s not inspirational, it’s not aspirational,’ said the Bravo star, bucking against the unrealistic beauty standards.

Frankel added, ‘It’s destructive. It creates eating disorders, insecurity, and depression. It’s a serious thing.’
She continued in her rant, ‘Moms feel insecure. … They don’t have time to do all this [editing], nor do they even know how to [with] the technology.’
And in August she talked photo shopping again.
She demonstrated just how ‘deceptive’ a photo filter can be as she posted a heavily edited photo of her bikini body.
Frankel slightly altered her body in order to demonstrate just how ‘deceptive’ photos can be when a filter is applied.
In the first image, a heavily-filtered Bethenny displayed a slimmed down waist and enhanced cleavage as she posed on the beach in a taupe bikini.

The next image, however, showed off the real Bethenny without the use of a filter.
In the caption, The Real Housewives Of New York star broke down just how damaging filters can be as she called them straight up ‘inaccurate’.
‘This is NOT what I look like…and you know that bc I’m not vain and show you the real me. But if I posted a version of this every day you might start to believe that it might be. This is just how distorted this has all gotten…’ she began.
‘Filtering is lying: it is deceptive. It makes women feel badly about themselves. It makes young girls insecure and obsessed with an unattainable perfection. It makes middle aged women and mothers feel insecure about themselves.

‘This creates a false ideal for men. It’s the opposite of inspirational. It’s destructive. It’s irresponsible. It’s insecure and it’s inaccurate. There is a line between making an effort to look pretty and an outright falsehood.
‘Swipe to see what I really look like #instagramvsreality #thisisme #speakyourtruth #liveauthentic.’
Fans praised Bethenny for her message and honesty in the comments section with an array of applause, hearts, and red heart emojis.
While Bethenny may never endorse the use of filters, one thing she did happily promote on her Instagram account recently was her line of eyewear.
