Bethenny Frankel demonstrated just how ‘deceptive’ a photo filter can be as she posted a heavily edited photo of her bikini body on Wednesday.
Frankel, 51, 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.
Her vision is clear: The RHONY alum showed off her line of eyewear, Bethenny Eyewear, on her Instagram account
The RHONY alum launched Bethenny Eyewear in February 2021.
It’s aimed at those wanting ‘glamorous’ and ‘high fashion’ sunglasses, as well as reading and blue light glasses, that are ‘appropriately priced.’
Speaking to PageSix, Bethenny explained that her new brand ‘comes from a more mature, sophisticated and elevated point of view and perspective.’
The entrepreneur previously founded the highly successful SkinnyGirl cocktail line in 2008. She’d eventually sell SkinnyGirl for a reported $120million in 2011.
