Tim Russell, the towboat operator who "rescued" Bethenny Frankel after she was lost at sea for 21 hours is putting her on blast. He claims that Bethenny's version of events isn't true! Bethenny appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show where the host asked her to explain her ordeal.

It sounds like the ordeal was staged and Bethenny was only "lost" for a scripted scene of her show!

Tim, who has 40 years of sea experience, explains that he received a call around 5am requesting assistance. When the call was placed, Xavier, Bethenny's therapist who was also the captain, gave "his exact coordinates, which he read off of the GPS system!" Frankel initially claimed that the broken GPS is what led to her "traumatic" experience.

Xavier called the Coast Guard but he was told to call a tow company "because there was no danger." Tim says that he and his wife went to Frankel's boat just in case there was an issue.

When Tim arrived, Bethenny's boat followed him and his wife back to shore "with no towing and a functioning GPS"! WTF?! Tim added that Bethenny's untrue statements put his livelihood at risk and he wanted to "make the point that Bethenny was not honest."

The truth will either set you free or get you f*cked!

In response, Bethenny tweeted:

• “I will ALWAYS be honest with my fans. I know you know that!”

• “Let’s review last week’s idiocies 1)I have a”nice”coach 2)I’m getting divorced 3)I’m pregnant 4)I lied re:being lost at sea Anything else?”
