She’s getting more frank-el.

Bethenny Frankel revealed the real reason why she and her 14-year-old daughter, Bryn, decided to move to Florida after previously saying it was for “personal and professional reasons.”

“The morning of March 19th, this wasn’t even a thought and by that evening, a series of events transpired and we decided it was the best move to move here,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum said in a TikTok shared Friday.

“Within five weeks, [we] had sold and bought a home in both places. We’ll keep this apartment, but I sold my home and bought a house in Florida,” the 54-year-old said.

Frankel, who shares her daughter with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, said her previous house “was drowning me.”

“It was just the two of us,” she said, referring to Bryn.

“It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I’d be entertaining there a lot.”

“The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents,” she continued.

“It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn’t really know many people in that community. It was lonely.”

Not wanting to be “home alone,” Frankel decided to “simplify.”

“My simplification is someone else’s complication ‘cause I’m still going to be in a beautiful home, but I just took on too much and the idea of something was different than the reality of it.”

Though Frankel initially wanted to wait until Bryn went off to college, a specific “moment” led to a change of heart.

“This situation was drowning me and something else was distracting her and neither of us would say it out loud because this is just what it was,” she said.

“The moment it became about her, I was able to be honest with myself about how I felt and it freed both of us. I think I’ll be lighter and brighter and happier in the coming months.”

“I’m excited for this next chapter,” she said.

And even though the past few months have been “a lot,” she revealed fans are “getting [her] through this tough time.”
