Bethenny Frankel Tearfully Recounts ‘Traumatic’ Decade-Long Divorce on Call Her Daddy

She frames the experience as a cautionary tale about prenups.

Overview

  • Frankel said nothing in her turbulent childhood compared to the 10-year split from Jason Hoppy, describing hair loss and fearing she would not survive.
  • She alleged the breakup involved fraud, stealing, hacking, harassment and abuse, characterizing the litigation as relentless torment.
  • Frankel and Hoppy separated in 2012 and finalized the divorce in January 2021, with custody of their daughter, Bryn, a central issue kept largely private.
  • In 2017, Hoppy was arrested on harassment and stalking charges after an alleged school confrontation and abusive emails, which he denied.
  • Frankel said she spent millions on legal fees, urged having a clear prenuptial agreement, and emphasized never disparaging a co-parent while using therapy to support children.
