A Judge Actually Told Bethenny Frankel That She Can't Wear Kids' Pajamas Anymore
by Andy NeuenschwanderThe gavel has landed, and Bethenny Frankel is no longer allowed to wear children's pajamas.
According to sources, the judge in Frankel's divorce proceedings had a stern message for Frankel, delivered to her lawyer: "No more pajamas!"
The judge was referring to a now infamous photo of Frankel wearing her 4-year-old daughter's pajamas, which miraculously fit the Skinnygirl founder, albeit a bit tightly.
"This is my daughter's nightgown and PJ shorts," Frankel wrote with the photo. "Think we're ready to start sharing clothes yet?"
Frankel's lawyer explained to the judge that it was just a joke, a position that Frankel herself took when the photo became something of a scandal due to backlash from fans and haters alike.
"It's not a joke," the judge replied. "Her daughter is not a joke."
Apparently the judge is concerned about the photo's permanence on the web and the fact that it will likely still be around when Frankel's daughter gets old enough to go online and see it for herself.
Many argued that the photo promoted body dysmorphia and pointed out that Frankel is likely anorexic if she can fit into a 4-year-old's pajamas. Others argued that shaming Frankel for her body is just as bad, and agreed that Frankel was just having some fun on Instagram.
Now that the legal system of the state of New York has weighed in, it looks like we have a definitive answer.
