This sounds like Bethenny not so happy ever after. We know she is going through an ugly custody battle with estranged husband Jason Hoppy, and now the former reality star is saying he tried to destroy her. How awful!
Frankel wants full custody of four year old daughter Bryn, while Hoppy seeks a joint arrangement.
"He said, 'I'm going to destroy you. I'm going to have you and your publicist crying and crumbling in a corner. Now you're going to see what I was like on the basketball court,'" Frankel recalled.
She continued, "He said, 'You don't know what it's like to have a family, you'll never have a family. Let's go baby.'"
Hoppy accused his ex of using Bryn as a prop, and his lawyer Bernard Clair echoed these claims.
"Bethenny Frankel's priority is Bethenny Frankel," Clair stated. "In pursuit of career success, she has used the child as a prop. [Frankel is trying to] relegate the father of her child to a walking sperm bank.""
The Skinnygirl cocktails founder had a different story, saying Hoppy enjoyed the spotlight.
"We did not discuss anything being off-limits," Frankel explained. "He said, 'I would never be able to have a wedding like this if it weren't on television.'"
She then added, "Jason embraced family life in the spotlight," Frankel's attorney Allen Mayefsky said during Wednesday's emotional courtroom battle. "But ever since the marriage ended, "he puts desire for revenge over his family and child."
The pair would fight over whose the better parent in addition to religion and other things.
"He would take bad press about me and put it on the counter," she testified. "He would pee and poop and leave it in the toilet ... He would say things [to Bryn] like, 'Mommy should be the witch. She's a great witch. You'll be the princess and I'll be the prince.'"
We hope they can set aside their differences for Bryn!
