Bethenny Frankel’s Dating Life Has Dried Up And Divorce Is Almost Final!

It’s Real Housewives of New York premiere night and Andy Cohen welcomed Bethenny Frankel to the WWHL club house as a solo guest. She got candid about her dating life, her divorce, and thoughts on the upcoming season.

The first caller up asks why Bethenny is so hard on Dorinda’s boyfriend John for talking dry cleaning so much when she talks Skinnygirl as much as she does – so why not promote and help him? Bethenny says that John is actually in the middle of helping her with a carpet cleaning issue at her apartment and a moth issue. “It’s nothing to do with his business, it has to do with his persona. I’m talking about him as a boyfriend for Dorinda. He can dry clean the eff out of my life, but I was just talking about his relationship with Dorinda and he can be a little shady.”

A Tweeter asked how Bethenny can be so shady to Julianne about being skinny when she herself deals with this criticism. (We Tweeted this same question tonight, too!) “I knew this was coming. I have a brand called SkinnyGirl. Watch What Happens.”

A caller says she’s very critical about newcomers – she did it with Erika Jayne of BH and now with Jules Wainstein. Bethenny says that she was just giving her honest opinion about Erika’s video and saying what nobody else did. With Jules she says they have a bit of a rocky road but ultimately they’re okay. “Listen, they come in and I say what I think. It doesn’t matter if you’re new or old. I had arguments with Ramona and Luann and everybody. And I have been ripped by Ramona on the Brooklyn Bridge and don’t hate the player, hate the game, baby.”

A viewer asked if she wound up re-following Carole’s boyfriend Adam on Instagram. “I did. Adam is awesome. You know something? Those two are the unexpected relationship of the decade. They’re beautiful, they’re good people. They’re in the moment.” 

She says that she and Carole have gotten very close. And then says she’s close with Ramona and that she loves all the women and respects them. Andy said this is the only housewives group that all 8 of the cast members went out for dinner together after the reunion. Bethenny says they all “leave it on the basketball court” and reiterates how much they’ve all been through together.

A caller asks about Bethenny’s dating life and if she’ll marry again. She says that she will never legally marry again. As for the dating life, “it was on fire but now it’s dry as a bone, but I’ll get it going again.”

Andy asks what’s going on with the divorce. “I feel like we’re on the 18th hole. I think we’re at the end of it. It’s been three and a half years and I like to be good at things so I figure if I’m gonna get divorced, I’m gonna have the longest and the most expensive divorce. It’s like a purse. It’s gnarly and I didn’t see it as being this way and here we are. It’s a learning experience. I’m feeling better and stronger and I’m happy, I’m coming out the other side.”

Another caller asks what marriage advice Bethenny would give to Luann. “Uuuuuuuummmmm, you’re gonna have to watch the season. The Countess doesn’t need any advice from me nor does she want any advice from me on her marriage. It’s a whole ride and buckle your seat belts and take a Xanax and take a ride.”

If she was on The Real Housewives All Stars, which cast members from each franchise would she want? “Kim Zolciak, NeNe, Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards.” She doesn’t think there’s anyone from Orange County she needs to talk to.

Andy circles back to the divorce conversation. She reveals that “her friend” (Jason) will be moving out shortly and she’s pretty sure she’ll be getting her old apartment back. Bethenny is very happy in her new apartment and loves the energy there so she won’t be moving back to the other apartment and says they’ll likely “close” on it.  Fingers crossed for Bethenny! She deserves some closure on this divorce finally.
