Bethenny Frankel Getting Sued And She Says She Won’t Be ‘Bullied’

Bethenney Frankel‘s ex-managers have filed a huge lawsuit against the reality TV star claiming they’ve been cut out of profits from deals they brokered.

The Raw Talent company filed suit for $112 million alleging she contracted with company head Doug Wald in 2008 as her personal rep and he helped broker a deal for the Skinnygirl cocktail line.

Raw Talent also claims to have hooked Bethenny up with a veteran in the liquor industry who could help her market the line with Frankel fronting it and sell it in a couple of years for a huge profit.

In the court papers Wald says he was fired just days before the deal was actually inked and when the company was sold 2 years later, he was owed his 10% cut.

The percentage of the deal would be about $12 million plus Raw Talent wants $100 million punitive damages!

Not so fast says the former Real Housewives of New York star.

Frankel said in a statement that she isn’t paying and she won’t be pushed around.

“Unfortunately, one of the signs of success is being the subject of frivolous lawsuits, like this one,” Frankel says in a statement to THR. “This is simply someone with his hand out, who did nothing to earn it, and I am not going to be bullied.”

The Bethenny Ever After star says she’s considering all avenues, including a possible countersuit.
