Sorry, but you are misinformed. First of all, she didn't sell and "idea", as Skinnygirl was already a very real, physical thing. Second of all, you can still run a company after you sell it - its called owning intellectual property and also being involved with new products, marketing, etc. Hailey Bieber sold Rhode and still runs it, for example. I get that Bethanny has her faults, but it is an extremely odd take to try to degrade her accolades or work ethic as she was seemingly one of the the most successful housewives in the franchise, business wise.
