Bethenny Frankel Enlists Power Attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos in Fight for Reality Star Protections: ‘This Is Going to Be a War’ (EXCLUSIVE)

But now, with the support of two prominent attorneys, she’s hoping her fight to protect lesser-known reality stars may prove to be the beginning of a game-changing movement in Hollywood. “I think this is going to be just the start of the truth telling about what’s really going on,” Freedman
