‘The Real Housewives of New York’ City Season 7 Cast News: Bethenny Frankel Making Skinny Girl Marijuana Weed That Doesn't Give Smokers the Munchies?
Entrepreneur and "The Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel is expanding her Skinny Girl brand to include a new strain of marijuana, Us Weekly reports.
Since selling her highly successful line of Skinny Girl cocktails to Beam Suntory for $120 million, Frankel is now setting her sights on the marijuana industry, according to Entrepreneur.
Frankel's new line of marijuana will be called Skinny Girl marijuana as it will allegedly curb your hunger and prevent smokers from getting the all-too-common "munchies" after consuming cannabis. Frankel will sell her unique strand in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington, where recreational cannabis is legal, Us Weekly said
"It will be a specially engineered strain of pot designed to not give you the munchies," a source claimed. "She read about how profitable the cannabis industry is and wants to get in on that."
Last month, Frankel was spotted visiting a marijuana dispensary in Aspen, Colorado leaving many to believe that the visit correlated with the launch of her new weed brand, according to Us Weekly.
Frankel later tweeted about her dispensary visit and admitted that she was shocked by how popular marijuana is in Aspen.
Check out Frankel's tweet below.
OMG it's the craziest thing to see marijuana legal in Aspen. People walking into pot stores like it's the @Gap #prohibitiondone

Frankel has yet to announce the date of her Skinny Girl marijuana release.
Prior to the news of her new business venture, Frankel received much backlash for her alarmingly skinny frame. Back in October, the Skinny Girl businesswoman posted a Facebook photo of herself reading and promoting her newest book, "Skinny Girl Cocktails."
Frankel's fans took less notice of the book, however, and paid more attention to the reality TV star's alarmingly small frame, Entertainment Tonight reported at the time.
"So I love love love Bethenny but I say this in the nicest way...she looks thin in an unhealthy way. I know she is tiny but compared to like her main pic this pic is a bit concerning," Facebook user Kristin Goldfine wrote.
"Seriously too thin," another Facebook user, Louise Versace Briglia, wrote.
Frankel later responded to the critiques over her frame during a recent interview with Elvis Duran, Radar Online reported.
"The way that my body was," she explained during the interview. "It made me look like I was a skeleton and it became this whole Internet thing yesterday, that I'm anorexic and all this crazy stuff."
