Bethenny Frankel is gearing up to launch her talk show Bethenny this fall after a successful trial run last summer. The Skinnygirl mogul and former Real Housewives of New York star might be looking forward to her new venture, but she admits she’s having a tough time in her personal life.
Frankel is going through a reported nasty divorce from her estranged husband, Jason Hoppy, with whom she has a 3-year-old daughter.
During an interview with ABC’s Nightline, Frankel, 42, she said of her spin-off shows Bethenny Getting Married? and Bethenny Ever After, “I don't regret letting the cameras roll at all.”
“I could have stayed on the show and been like, ‘Oh, everything's perfect with us. Everything's great,’” she explained. “It made me feel dirty for people to think that I had this perfect relationship and this perfect life.”
Frankel and Hoppy announced they were divorcing last December, and since then they’ve been living under the same roof in New York City.
“I'm going through a brutal, brutal time,” she said, adding her daughter is what gets her through (as well as exercise). “She is unbelievable. She is the light of my life, and she gets me through this.”
