Bethenny Frankel Headed For Divorce, Says Mom


Of course, coming from a woman who hasn't spoken to Bethenny in like ten years I'd take this news with an extra grain of salt:
Not only is Bethenny Frankel headed for a divorce, according to her estranged mother, but she also told Star magazine that the Skinnygirl Margarita concept was her idea!


Bethenny married Jason Hoppy a year and a half ago and the two had their first child just two months later, but Bethenny’s mother, Bernadette Birk, thinks the relationship will crumble when her daughter can’t gain anything else from it.


“Right now, he is a good father, but soon she won’t need him and she will dump him,” Bernadette exclusively told Star in their issue on newsstands now. “Her husband seems like a really nice guy, but it won’t last. He is really too weak for her.”


And thanks to Bethenny’s Skinnygirl Margarita mix, the former Real Housewives of New York star snagged the #3 spot on Forbes’ list of Hollywood’s Highest-Earning Women with an income of $55 million — but Bernadette claims Bethenny stole the mix idea from her.


“When she was young, her godmother, Eleanor Mogavero, would come and visit, and her drink of choice was a margarita. She was overweight, so I’d make her really low-fat ones,” said Bernadette. “But [Bethenny] would never give anyone credit, it goes against her narcissistic point of view.”


Bernadette told Star that she’s only spoken to her daughter twice in the last 10 years and that Bethenny puts money and her success before everything else.


“She sells everything because money and power is No. 1 for her, and there is never enough,” says Bernadette.


“She only puts herself around people who can do something for her. It is amazing how she turned out just like her father.”

  1. Why does this remind me of Snow White and the jealous queen? With a mother - who sounds an awful lot like Jill Zarin to me! - that ugly, angry, and so full of herself, I guess Bethenny's lucky that she grew up as well-adjusted as she is! I can only wish her and Jason a happy life far from her mother's clutches.

  3. Parents should try to save the marriage of their children rather than giving sensational news to media.

  4. I never did like Bethanny and always thought of her as a narcissist. I really got sick of her whining and crying on RHof NY.
