Frankel, 45, is best known for her stints on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York City” and various entrepreneurial efforts.
She’s done her best to leave her porn-star past behind. At one point on the reality show, she even denied ever posing nude, much less being filmed nude.
And, there’s no mention of it on her online bios. But her past was never far behind.

It surfaced in a flurry of Internet posts back in 2010, complete with screen shots from the film. But this appears to be the first time actual clips of her nude scenes have gone viral.
Frankel was 24 when she filmed the low-budget “Hollywood Hills, 90028.” The picture was a risque take-off of the hit television show “90210.” It was about young, fast-living Hollywood kids.
The reality personality played Laura, a sexually adventurous high school student. In one scene, she takes off her bikini top and tries to convince a shy girlfriend to do the same.
When she finally takes it off, Laura tries to steal a kiss, shocking her shy friend.
In the other scene, she works it hard, riding a guy on a waterbed. The 1:25 clip shows her topless, gyrating like a wild carnival ride.
Frankel’s film career also includes another low-budget picture, “Wish Me Luck,” billed as a “raunchy teen sex comedy.”
Playboy covergirl Avalon Anders starred as “a genie sent to junior college to turn a nerd into a man,” according to the film’s synopsis.
Frankel played a student called “Bridgette.” Anders is topless almost non-stop throughout the movie, according to one review. There was no mention of Frankel.
Ironically, reports surfaced two years ago that Frankel had made a sex tape.
She made a joke out of it on Twitter, but the message was clear: She denied it.
“What’s w twitter spam? [sic]” she wrote. “Evidently, my sex tape was leaked. Damn, I was hoping to save that til biz needed a boost. Gotta make another one.”

In another ironic twist, Frankel scolded “Teen Moms” reality star Farrah Abraham for becoming a porn star and marketing a line of sex toys. “If you want to be a business person, I don’t think that should be your business,” she reproved.
Frankel never mentioned her own porn-star past. Even her ex-husband was unaware of it, until after they were married.
“I didn’t know anything about this until after we were married. Saw it and turned 10 shades of Skinnygirl red,” he told The New York Post’s Page Six.
