Bethenny Frankel has insisted that men "aren't a priority right now." And that includes her rumored boyfriend, Botox.

"Yes, bloggers who have no idea what they are talking about are writing that I have a new boyfriend named Botox, who has really botched me up," the former Real Housewife told her audience while taping Wednesday's episode of Bethenny.

"Yes, that's the picture that they posted because I make the face every day of course," Frankel cracked, flashing to a photo of her looking especially arch in the eyebrow.

"So I just want to show you something. That's that," she continued, gesturing to her face and leaning forward to allow for the camera to zoom in for a close-up. "Those are my wrinkles in my forehead, these are these guys over here.

"Now, I am not saying I haven't ever done Botox," Frankel clarified. "I am not saying I wouldn't do Botox, but I am not doing Botox on the regular because I am not one of those people that walks up to a mirror and says, 'Hmm, let me look at myself, let me see what I need to fix, let me see what I can do.'

"That's not really me and I believe in everything in moderation," she added.

(Fun fact: When she was guest-blogging for us a few years ago, Frankel once gave The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Caroline Manzo props for not caring about "Botox or clothing or gossip in particular...Love.")

"If you want to do something to make yourself feel good, do it," Frankel also said on the show. "Of course, take precautions, ask your doctor, read up on something. You want to know what you are doing. But I eat Cheetos, I use artificial sweeteners, I don't do it all the time, once in a while and that's what I believe in, balance.

"So, Dr. Guida," she said, name-checking the New York plastic surgeon who recently told the U.K.'s Daily Mail that Frankel has had "too many injections in the wrong spots." 

"OK, Dr. Robert Guida is the one who commented on my face," Frankel stated. "A: I've never met you. B: You're not my doctor. C: Shut your pie hole and go back to your corner. If you are going to write it, come up to the pink awning and say it to my face, bizzitch, OK? Say it to my wrinkled face."

Cue the you-go-girl applause.
