Sources Say Bethenny Frankel’s Media Obsession To Blame For School Snub

PageSix.com:

Squabbling former spouses Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy have both blamed each other’s embarrassing antics for preventing their daughter Bryn from getting into the elite Manhattan Friends Seminary Day School.

Frankel — who’s still battling her ex over custody — sniped in an e-mail to Hoppy that they’d been shunned by the private Gramercy school in 2015 because “of your cousin being incarcerated as a pedophile, your uncle’s overdose or your cousin’s identity theft.”

The details of the nasty exchange were just revealed in court.

But we’re told other parents who have been doing the school run with the “Real Housewife” at her daughter’s preschool — and suffered years of Frankel’s fame game, battling swarms of snappers — believe Frankel’s media-attention-grabbing is to blame for the elite school snub.

Sources say those parents had asked prospective nursery schools — including Friends Seminary — what “their policy on paparazzi is” in the hopes of peace and privacy for their kids.
