Real Housewives' Bethenny Frankel discusses motherhood, Luann de Lesseps, plastic surgery, & weed

Justine Goodman (Editor in Chief, SheKnows.com and STYLECASTER) interviews Bethenny Frankel at BlogHer Food 2019.

Always one for #realtalk, Bethenny shares her thoughts on a number of topics in her fireside chat, spanning parenting, body positivity, building your own business, taking down haters, whether or not Skinny Girl might develop a weed product, and even how women today can relate to the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

On parenting: There’s something on the show where Luann gets annoyed that I didn’t stay at her cabaret ’til midnight on a Tuesday, and she said she was mad “because she was watching her daughter sleep.” I don’t care. I’m not showing up for your event if I’m with my daughter, because I’m never gonna regret not going to Luann’s cabaret on my deathbed, but I will regret not having spent more time with my kid.

On body positivity: We’re living in a world with extensions and eyelashes, and skin grafting, and plastic surgery. Love yourself, if you look like, you know… that. I mean, makeup has never been more in now. Did everybody always, like, wear this much makeup all day long? Like you’re in a beauty pageant, Miss Tennessee, like, at all times.

On creating your own business: I don’t think Mark Zuckerberg was ever worried about what his title was. Get to the finish line and then call yourself, you know, Mariah Carey. It doesn’t matter. Call yourself whatever you want.

On cannabis: Women my age, you know, we’re not looking to be Jeff Spicoli. Is there anybody over 40 that knows what I’m talking about? OK, so that was a character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, who is a stoner that ordered a pizza into his high school classroom. We’re not looking to go, you know, get like, “Dude.” We’re looking to sleep, to have less body pain. We all just want to relax, and like, have a glaze on our lives.
