Bethenny Frankel breaks silence on ‘traumatic’ divorce with Jason Hoppy
Bethenny Frankel finally broke the silence on her messy divorce from her second husband, Jason Hoppy.
During an appearance on the latest episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the 55-year-old TV personality said that “nothing” could compare to the “torment” she experienced when leaving Jason.
“I have seen my mother slit her wrists. I have lived my whole life chasing her into bathrooms, trying to catch her throwing up. I’ve been around guns, the mafia, the race track. I’ve been through everything,” said Bethenny.
“I’ve seen her beaten within an inch of her life. I have seen everything. Nothing compares to what my divorce was for 10 years. Nothing,” she added.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum further told Alex that her mother’s struggles with alcoholism were “child’s play” compared to the “trauma” she endured during her divorce with the pharmaceutical executive.
“It was so traumatic. It was 10 years of my life. I lost hair. I thought I would never survive it. I didn’t want to,” confessed Bethenny.
“I had to because of my daughter. I literally thought, ‘I’ll never be happy again,” she added.
For those unversed, Bethenny and Jason announced their separation in December 2012 after two years of marriage. The exes share a 15-year-old daughter, Bryn, together.
