Skinnygirl Advice Guru, Bethenny Frankel is giving a sneak peek of things to come on her new talk show in an interview with More, where she dishes about the keys to a good marriage and finding the right Mr. Frankel.
Bethenny has admitted she picked Mr. Wrong a couple of times (including Jason 1.0 during RHoNYC) which led to a failed marriage and being the single woman, aka punching bag on Housewives. Describing what went wrong in her first marriage, Bethenny clarifies: “I was simply too young. It taught me not to try to fit everything into a perfect Tiffany box.” Instead go for a custom ring from a boutique jeweler (I love Bethenny’s ring set, I must admit).
She also explains trying to date a good on paper guy never works out – instead look for someone who can deal with you: “You can’t sleep next to an 8 x 10 piece of paper. Choose someone who takes care of you, who cares for their family and who will be a good partner and parent, and someone who you actually like, respect and laugh with.”
Bethenny encourages those who are in a relationship due to a fear of being alone (and being eaten by an Alsatian) to recognize they need to move on: “You know you’re holding on to a relationship because of fear when you think no one else will want you or love you, or you worry you will never find someone as good. You shouldn’t try to negotiate and rationalize; you should just feel.”
Mrs. Hoppy, who we all know likes her c*ck comments, is never one to shy away from difficult topics, as she confronts the sticky issue of sex in a relationship and opines: “It’s awkward, but sex must be discussed. It constantly changes: honeymoon stage, while pregnant, after baby, with children, in your 50s, etc. Communicate.”
As for what led to her finding Jason 2.0, aka her hubby, Bethenny believes being happy with who you are instead of being a desperate loser is the key to finding love: “Being ok with who you are and where you are in your life, whether alone or with someone, is the secret to finding what you want and need. Desperation and fear will take you to the wrong places and the wrong relationships.”
When asked what advice she has for daughter Bryn on finding the right guy, Bethenny replies: “I would advise her that getting men to respect you and want to marry you — as much if not more than they want to get physical with you — is an art form.”
In other Bethenny news, the diet drink mixologist just released Skinnygirl Sangria and here’s hoping it’s as, uhhhh… good(?) as Skinnygirl Margarita!
Even if it’s not, no worries, as Bethenny has some friends in high places; Bethenny tells Celebuzz: “Lea Michele is a big fan of Skinnygirl Margarita, so I sent her the Sangria before the launch, and she loves it!” And just who else is a Skinnygirl aficionado? Apparently: Kate Hudson, Snoop Dogg, Anne Hathaway, and Hoda Kotb! Wow – Bethenny really gets around!
Bethenny is pictured above on Aug. 3 during the launch party for her new Skinnygirl drink!
Will you be trying Skinnygirl Sangria? What do you think of Bethenny’s advice on love and marriage? Are you excited to watch her new talkshow?
@106 CAT very well put I agree totally I have no respect for this woman
I cannot understand why Ellen Degeneres is helping her with her talk show. Ellen has always seemed like such a kind and down to earth caring person. Bethenny is like nails on a chalkboard in words and her behavior.
BEA was on Friday night and I watched some of it again. She is just nasty, selfish, loud and mean…with alot of crazy thrown in.
@Bryan: I would not trade my life for hers either. I am also a Natural Fodds Chef but I began this career because I wanted to help people and make them happy. Its not about me or money. I am lucky to do what I love and make people’s lives better. I have cooked for people with cancer and aids, lyme disease. It is a joy to hekp and see people smile because something tastes fantastic and makes them feel better. I attended the same school B did and hawking anorexic promoting products are not the idea.
Go Bethenny!!! Thank your lucky stars that your are no longer on RHONY. Let them destroy themselves. Enjoy everything you have. Good luck.
UGH ! ONE DISGUSTING SLIMY SLUT !

@Hudson Heights Girl – Good for you following your passion & being able to make a living at it!!!
@152 Hudson Heights
I have a feeling your life is much happier and rewarding than Bethenny’s life.
What you are saying is what I was trying to point out earlier. You work hard for years developing menus and food of quality that serve a purpose. On the other hand, Bethenny went for the quick buck. First she tried with bakery items and when it didn’t pan out immediately, she abandoned that project for the SGM–a product that sells because of branding with a theme of “girl power”, Bethenny’s definition of “girl power” hijacked definition from “Sex and the City.”
I don’t think, however, you should completely abandon a long term profit motive. What you are doing is a valuable service to the community and will become more important as the demographics of the US population changes with a very large elderly class.
@Cherry and gigi: Thanks so much for your words of support! I guess I am motivated by my heart and not profit..I have met some wonderful people doing what I do and learned so much from them..its all good! XO
In the early days Bethanney was desperately looking for a man. It was a long time until she confessed that she had been married when she was in her 20′s. Bethanney’s father was Jewish(Frankel) last name and her mother was Christian and converted and became Jewish. Remember, the little bald guy Jason in the first episode that B was chasing and wanted to move in with him. He wanted to take it slowly he has three children.
However, he ended up getting fired for being on NYC Housewifes tv show.
Bethanney is a straight up bitch who rags,brags,and nags about everying. I Just wish she would go away. I saw her on QVC last night and she never let the hostess, Lisa Robertson, get a word in and Lisa looked annoyed. B was standing there in her shape wear thinking I had a baby and look how great I look. I wish the bitch just goes away…………a talk show I will not watch,.
@root canal: I totally agree with you. I would rather get a root canal than watch her talk show.
@root canal: I totally agree with you. I would rather get a root canal than watch her talk show.
Just got to thinking…she hated her dad for not being their for her. How much can she be there for her children with everything she has going on? Is she just repeating the cycle…of course she does have a nanny….that makes up for it all I guess.

I liked Jason 1.0. The Private Equity firm he was fired from was Patriarch Partners. Here is the link to the summons and complaint:
http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/complaint.pdf
He sued for $55M for being fired due to appearing on RHONY. Supposedly the reasoning of the firm was that Private Equity is a industry built on trust and discretion.
The CEO of Patriarch is Lynn Tilton. In early 2011, she had her own reality show on Sundance:

It was cancelled.
Currently, she is being sued for sexual harassment (you have to read the article to get the full “flavor” ). Ironically, she made her seed money for suing Merrill Lynch for sexual harassment:

This entire story is more interesting than the whole season of RHONY. You just can’t make this stuff up.
@160 Most successful entrepreneurs are motivated by their passions. Making a profit is not wrong. It will allow you to grow your business and do more to help the community.
@156Meinnyc, Good Lord, did you see that woman!?!?!, and she’s from NY state, I would have thought she wouldn’t have been such a hysteric.
@152HHG, Exactly, sometimes what you do and how you do it is more rewarding then the big $$$$, sure its nice to make a living at what you do, but to see how your creations can effect someone in a positive way is always a good thing.
#167@Bryan:
Ya, when I listened to the second clip on CNN, I realized that “mid-western” twang could also be Upstate NY, same diff….LOL….whateva she was still annoying as Hell and WAY overreacted……….lol……..
@166 I for one am not saying she’s not a good entrepreneur, I’m saying she is a rotten human being….two different things.
I agree with ALL the negative comments about bitchanny. she turns my stomach
Bethany, good on you. Thank you for showing the world that you can be a success even if you don’t come from riches.
I am so inspired by this woman.
Good on you.
So much substance and humour.
She is not an overnight success, she has worked VERY hard to get where she is today. A true inspiration betheny.
@ hudson heights girl – how is a low calorie alcoholic drink promoting anorexia? Shall we say weight watchers is promoting anorexia also?
Really people….stop hating on someone who had made something of themselves by doing what they love. You people should be ashamed of yourselves for spreading the negativity!!
My husband and I love Jason and bethenny. SHe is inspiring how she created skinny girl from nothing and now look at her. All the other housewives from NY, she is better off without them. What we love about bethenny is she is no nonsense. What you see is what you get…if she dont’ like you she will tell you, not everyone could take it..like Jill zarin…jealous..she is trying hard to look young like bethenny with the long hair and hundreds of botox restalyne injections in her face. Bethenny is the real deal..YOU go skinny girl…fans of team HOPPY
anyone who is jealous, is just upset they did not come up with the idea first…LOL
@171 Bethenny didn’t come from riches? You don’t think her family had money? How was she able to pay for her living expenses in Manhattan before she became a Housewife?
@174 Are you implying that people who don’t care for Bethenny are jealous of her? Hardly.
I can’t speak for others who dislike her, but personally I hope I never stoop to such rude and boorish behavior as Bethenny exhibits. I feel sorry for her daughter, being exposed to that kind of role model.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
