Bethenny Frankel is not shy when it comes to tweeting photos of herself wearing her 4-year-old daughter’s Hello Kitty PJs — but the in-your-face reality star is drawing the line at revealing how she makes her margaritas.
The “Real Housewives” star is demanding that a federal judge in Chicago seal four documents in an ongoing lawsuit over her Skinnygirl brand’s margarita cocktail, the latest filing in the case shows.
The top-secret documents could divulge “confidential business strategy communications,” along with “discussions of possible alternative product formulations and ingredients,” the filing claims.
Frankel, whose daytime talk show was canceled this year, shows no hesitancy in dragging her ex through a public and nasty child custody battle, but according to this bid for margarita secrecy, the offending documents must be redacted and sealed, or else they would reveal “confidential formulas for Skinnygirl, marketing and business strategy that could injure Ms. Frankel if disclosed.”
Frankel is being sued by an Illinois woman who is claiming that the margarita’s “all natural” label was a lie, since the booze contained the not-so-natural preservative sodium benzoate.
