As shoppers flock to Manhattan in the lead-up to the holidays, there’s one thing that Bethenny Frankel wants everyone to leave off their shopping lists: fur. Towering high above Times Square, the Real Housewives of New York City star appears against the New York skyline—without a stitch of clothing—in a stunning new PETA billboard campaign titled “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked.” The ad was shot by top celebrity photographer Joseph Cultice.
In an exclusive PETA interview, Frankel opens up about what made her change her mind (and her wardrobe): “I used to wear fur. I went to a cocktail party, walked outside on Fifth Avenue, and a PETA protestor was holding up a skinned animal. I looked at it, and it made me sick. I felt disgusting. That day was a huge change, and since then I’ve really been against fur. I’m cleaning out my closets—trim, everything. I don’t see any reason for cruelty.”
