Bethenny Frankel, known for her role on The Real Housewives of New York, recently opened up about her tumultuous divorce, hinting at “fraud” and “abuse” and describing the experience as “torture.” She also revealed that she was derogatorily nicknamed “Ursula the Witch.”

Bethenny tied the knot with Jason Hoppy in 2010, with whom she shares a daughter named Bryn. Their protracted divorce battle stretched over ten years. Prior to Jason, Bethenny was married to Peter Sussman, from whom she divorced in 1997.

During an appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Bethenny confessed that her divorce was the most challenging ordeal she has ever endured.

“I’ve witnessed extreme situations—my mother attempting suicide, dealing with her bulimia, surrounded by violence and criminal elements, and yet, none of it compares to the decade-long ordeal of my divorce,” she shared. “Such experiences pale in comparison to the nightmare of someone deliberately inflicting emotional pain and vowing to continue doing so.”

“And you are the person who’s more successful. So you look like the powerhouse tyrant … Optics look like this person’s just a victim and someone … with the pawn as a child, like it is so important. It was so traumatic,” she went on. “I lost hair. I thought I would never survive it. I didn’t want to. I had to because of my daughter. I literally thought I’ll never be happy again.”

Bethenny said she treated it “like a marathon.”

“I went one mile at a time. And I checked every box. I mean … it was fraud. It was stealing. It was hacking. It was harassment. It was abuse. It was Googling me 60 times a day. It was staying in bed and staring into my face. It was calling me every bad character in the books, ‘Ursula the Witch, and you’re ugly.’ And it was torture,” she said. “It was millions of dollars … Like it was literally FaceTime to a toilet cause like so I couldn’t talk to my daughter, ‘I know, Bryn, I know you don’t want to go with your mama.’ It was torment from one minute to the last minute of the 10th year. I can, and I don’t even care if I get sued … Every woman needs to know, do not f**k around and find out. It was the worst thing I could ever wish upon a person.”

But Bethenny said she “never talked bad” about him in front of their daughter.

“Your kids will become cognizant, and they will understand you don’t have to say it to them. You don’t have to prove it to them,” she explained. “You should never ever say a bad thing about the other parent ever because it is the worst thing you could do to a child.”
