Drama continues for Bethenny Frankel after reportedly selling her Skinnygirl cocktail brand for $120 million, as she was sued this week by her ex-managers for a share of the deal, plus $100 million in punitive damages.
“Life is good for me with all the things that are most important, namely family,” Frankel told PEOPLE Thursday. “But let’s be clear, I am a strong woman, and I am not afraid and won’t back down when I’m bullied by something with zero merit. Success is earned by hard work, not taking advantage of others.”
In another statement released Thursday, Frankel said,
“Unfortunately, one of the signs of success is being the subject of frivolous lawsuits, like this one.” “This is simply someone with his hand out, who did nothing to earn it, and I am not going to be bullied,” Frankel added in her statement. “We are exploring all of our options, including filing counterclaims against these people.”
According to the complaint filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Raw Talent’s co-president Doug Wald alleges he signed Frankel as a client in 2008, introduced her to the liquor industry exec who helped her sell her brand, and was fired days before she signed her deal to sell Skinnygirl. In the court documents, however, Doug admits Frankel fired him back in 2008 after managing her for just 3 months.
