Reality TV star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel, famous for her appearances on The Real Housewives of New York and Bethenny Ever After, sold her Skinnygirl spirits brand to Beam Global Spirits & Wines for an undisclosed amount in a deal announced Monday.
Frankel hired entertainment, media, and technology partner Shaun Clark and corporate practice cochair Jon Newby of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton to advise. Partner Carlo Van den Bosch and associates Gabriel Matus and Sean Crowe also worked on the deal. Clark began working for Frankel about nine months ago and has represented her on previous media, entertainment, and branding deals. Clark was introduced to Frankel through her agent, Brian Dow. Clark, who specializes in brand integration, met Dow through one of his other reality TV clients, Kendra Wilkinson, former star of The Girls Next Door.
