I been watching her for the last couple of years. I have to say I don't think I have ever seen anyone more open or honest than Bethenny. She says it like it is and she owns it. There are very few ppl like that in this world. Hope God gives her the true love and support she so yearns for and deserves
I know this was over a year ago, but I feel that this is truly brave of her to do this. I just stumbled upon this now. Going through divorce is really crappy and everything she says is on target. You get through it though.
michele fellows Michelle, if this is the type of woman you admire or fee sorry for you need to take a lomg look at your values... This is how a woman shoulnt be... Compassion for those who deserve it... Not this miserable shrew...
You are a horrible piece of work Bean she, Bethenny went through hell, her ex harassed and stalked her for years, threatened to destroy her life, went after the man she was dating, when it was court ordered for her to be able to talk to her daughter on the phone daily, he would do everything he could to not let it happen, he's a fucking monster! Shame on you for siding with him, nobody deserves to be treated like that, I am so happy she pressed charges on him and I hope she gets full custody of Brynn and he goes away for a loonnnng time! Bethenny is a wonderful role model to all women!
She had a moment of love and got a beautiful child out of it. I'd take that over being single and alone like she was before she met Jason. She'll get through it. xo
I feel for you Bethenny, I pray God gives you strength to get through this difficult period in your life. I've been married for 17 years and let me tell you, we've had our ups and downs and thank God, we've gotten through it. Every day together is a blessing, so I know how hard it was to decide to dissolve your marriage. I hope you surround yourself with a POSITIVE support system and and cut loose the ties that drag you down. Keep your head up and look forward to a brighter future!
she seems stronger than most people.i've never been married or divorced,i can imagine a divorce being a painful experience.to talk about it publicly is unthinkable to me.
Bethenny is such an inspiration to woman around the world. She speaks with such honesty and I think that is definitely something we need to see more of from other celebrities and just people in general globally. Thank you Bethenny
truer words have never been spoken Ellen, no one knows what happens behind closed doors, I feel your pain Bethenny, I hope you become stronger through this and you find your true love
Kathleen Woodruff Woodruff. in the time i've seen you showing your truthfulness of sara evans music and more, i would never have figured you as a sole "everything is a man's fault) type of girl. come on girl, show your open mindedness. hahahah still love you though. :):):)
Al Huggins What ok first of all how do u even now i like sara evans? And tecend of all u dont know anything about me or Bethenny so just stop talking, becuase u are just making me sick!
Kathleen Woodruff the last time i sent you a text was about 6 months ago when you were trying to kiss sara's ass and act if you knew her. then it was the band perry and then someone else and then betthany frankel. sit back and watch your soap operas like you normally do because i think you're just a dumbfuck anyways with no life. get lost waste case!!!
I love how much she shows her vulnerable side on television especially because this concerns her personal life..I hope things get better for her! :) And it's nice of ellen to be there for her girlfriend! :D
i too am goin through a divorce and when there's a child involved, it makes the process even harder. my heart goes out to her and her child.. best wishes, stay positive, and keep ur head up bethenny :)
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that feels like that. I'm 25 going through a separation and most likely getting divorced and I'm glad that I saw this video. Every situation will get better and you will heal when the time comes.
I'm heartbroken. I just can't.. I saw how Bethenny and Jason got married, and now I'm seeing them divorce. It just hurts, because I thought their relationship was gonna last forever. All I can say is, stay strong Bethenny. You're definitely a rolemodel for a lot of people. We've all got your back. And we love you. I wish you all the best for the future. Hopefully you'll find new love soon. Much love.
i just want to hug bethany!!! i feel so bad for her having to go through this:( no matter who you are divorce is never easy especially with lil kids involved:( stay strong bethany!!
I don't really know who she is but I admire her strength. Breakups of any kind are hard. I can't imagine the pain she must have been going through. May God bless her with the courage to keep going on.
I have to give her thumbs up for doing this interview. She could have chosen not to do it, since is personal, but she opted by facing reality instead. Strong woman.
I completely agree with what you're saying, Becca. I feel like giving Bethenny a hug, too. I think it's good of Bethenny to be open & clear the air about the divorce. I think it will help her heal better & faster being able to be talk about it out in the open now & on her talk show. It's better to come from her mouth than reading false stuff from tabloids. Ellen & Portia are good friends to Bethenny. I know Bethenny tried hard in her relationship. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, it (cont.)
It's sad how some people here are so judgmental. Like Ellen said, we truly don't know what happens once the cameras are off and the doors are closed. We have all done and said things we wish we could take back. Or have acted a certain way and later said "gosh, why did I behave like that"? We all have past issues that we unfortunately sometimes bring into a relationship. I don't think Bethenny is a bad person at all, just a human being like the rest of us. Good luck & blessings to you Bethenny
unless you have been through a divorce don't pass judgement...and even if you have, not in her shoes. It is one of the most painful things you can go through and for her to sit there and talk about it with her heart on the floor shows immense strength and courage... qualities a lot of people talking crap about her don't have.
Bethany been there done this, it will get better, hand in there, I feel your pain, love from your number #1 fan, you are not a failure, to me, just keep your head up, and the pain will slowly go away, my goal is to meet you one day, keep the faith, hope, and it will get better, love from a loyal fan, Sandra Poshak
I wish people would leave her alone. I know she is putting it out there for everyone but no one deserves to be made to feel like a failure when she was in therapy trying to make herself better. Good luck BF, keep your head up.
It isn't just a break up. It's divorce which is a hell of a lot more serious and upsetting to go through. How she chooses to express herself is up to her, be it on tv or not.
Betthany you are doing what's best for your and your beautiful daughter. Continue to pursue and believe in love AND know that you are truly NOT a failure. You're strong and you're a powerful leader and I truly admire that you're HONEST and transparent about the REALITY of life. We go through ups and downs but life can still be great!! :) It still IS great, praying for you girl!! :)
Omg, i feel so bad for her... She deserves so much more. She deserves whats best just for her, and when she end up feeling like this, then that wasnt the perfect relationship for her :) god bless her
Bethenny is a strong willing and strong minded woman. If you didn't love that about her? Why did you watch her shows? She will go down in history for her accomplishments
I really started crying I don't know why. But there are so many divorces in the world I never even expected her to get one I saw something about her and Jason on a magazine and of course thought it was fake but watching this I guess really hit me and hit close to home I teared up I really like Bethany and wish her all the best.
im not sure who she is, but she seems so heartbroken. An Im going through the same thing right now, got me in tears. That feeling she had where she tried to choke back the tears and hold it in...going through it every single day. Wish i could fast forward time, and just pass this.....
Marshall Hasz _ Agree with you! The techniques of that program are so simple that any woman can use them to get astonishing results shockingly in_ _a little time. Just imagine girl what will happen when he calls you_ _begging you to get back together._
Unfortunately, getting back together seldom works. People say it's for the child, but if you are constantly bickering or living under a stressful situation, that is NOT good for the child, teen, pets, etc. Better to regroup, set priorities, keep a calendar, pay bills and get things back on track for you.
I've never watched Bethenny, I guess her shows aren't that popular where I live, I don't think I've seen any ads but I wish her the best of luck and stay strong
she is a woman who has made the skinny girl margarita. She is known for giving caring but tough advice. Her show is amazing...love it because its so honest. People are hating on her because they are jealous
ohhhh this is just a heartbreaking interview! :( so often we see Bethenny on reality tv & interviews as such a bubbly and out there woman, and to now see her so upset and to outright say that she feel likes a 'dissapoint & failure' to her fans etc... it is really sad. I hope she faces 2013 with a new lease on life and continues to to just worry about herself and little Bryn. All the best to her!! xxxx
this is so sad... to judge a person just because shes getting a divorce... sick sick sick SICK people Bethanny looks like a very beautiful, talented and shes an ispiration. All my love and support goes to Bethanny..
I can only tell about divorce by my parents experience. And It's hard, only people who faces it know it. Bethenny always put her life out there and have a open relation with public, but She still a human, a mother and a Wife back home. Ellen is right, nobody know what goes around the 4 walls. Being a celebrity or not, she deserves all of our respect and love. And specially Brynn, but I'm sure Jason and Bethenny will do the best for her. Hope everything turns to be better this year for them.
I watched her reality show, and honestly, they were both very passive aggressive with each other (based on what was shown anyway) They were very “one up-person-ship with each other. Jason was intimidated with her success, he came from being a pharma sales rep making $70-80k a year, then then, she become a multi-millionairess. I think he was truly happy for her success on one side, but intimidated on the other. Most men would feel emasculated, he struggled with should he work with her, or not. Tough decisions. Jason came from a small town where he was King, into a relationship where Bethenny was the Queen and he was the Prince. Tough spot for any relationship. If you listen to them during the mini-series it was painful to watch, especially on vacations, when they had time alone. I think they both did the best they could under difficult circumstances.
Im so sad for Bethanny. That's good that she has someone to talk about that sort of things. Ellen, dont turn your back on that :) U will get better bethanny, and i hope I see you smile next time :) take care
Did you listen to anything Jason said about her? She was just trying to please everyone and be perfect, and a person can't physically do that. Yet, Jason ALWAYS put her down. He called her stupid too many times to count. And he did need to find his passion in life, as everyone must do. He basically quit his job to ride on her coattails. Her assistant was like family to her. You become close to people you work with. I can't even believe this comment. It's so horrible, rude, and judgmental.
Marriage is hard even when it's good. Been married 23 yrs so I feel I can kind of speak on this. Before I found the right one, it was just confusion and heartbreak. So no, I don't think Bethenny and I would be good friends if we knew each other, but I feel compassion for her. Clearly these are real tears, not fake. I hope for her this experience softens her some and doesn't thicken the apparent walls she has built. She, like all of us, deserves happiness.
She's very candid and I will give her that. Seeing her show her pain now basically confirms that her happiness was probably just as real too.So many of these women on these shows are phony like Kenya from RHOA who basically hired a guy to play her boyfriend. People like Bethenny because she is sincere
Same here lol...I've seen her on Ellen a couple times and people are always complaining on how they don't like her. So..idk..but everytime she's on Ellen she seems fun and nice
Apparently, when the woman is paying alimony, it's "you go girl!", "aww, what she's going through is shitty". When a guy is paying it, it's "pay up or face the cooler". Where's the sympathy for the MEN? What's with the double standard? Where are the awwwss and tears for the men being ABSOLUTELY shafted by said alimony lawsuits. She got a deal 80% of divorced men would kill for. 97% of alimony payments are made by men. Should the awwwss only go to a minority?
Whinge to someone who can make a change if anything - it is not her fault how the law works. Woman are in the minority, as it's normally the majority of men who are the breadwinners. I watched my best friend hand over half of all the assets SHE had. He would not keep a job so she clothed feed and paid the mortgage for two, let alone that he would become aggressive if money was not on hand to take. She couldn't leave the house as he'd get it - So stayed on a sofabed while keeping down her job of course and he slept with other women in there with my friend in the house. It seemed crazy that anyone would be awarded money for nothing. Yet he did! She's richer than ever now, she has now moved on and has children. He put his half down the drain in one year.
leanne lovesmusic sorry but look at the statistics. Women are about 40% of breadwinners yet men pay 97% in alimony cases. The math doesn't add up. Men have it much worse when it comes to the judicial system. Glad your friend got shafted like so many men before.
What a horrible thing to say and a way to look at the world. It seemed you missed the bit at the start where I say "whinge to someone who can do something" and "it's not her fault how the law works." Which it's not! - Example of the top of my head... Should Paul McCartney give his last skimming ex-wife HALF of what he's made during his life? NO! We know she's a just shameless golddigger. As of course, 18million wasn't enough it seemed. Now IF she'd been with him since the start and she raised his children while he went out to do what he does while having the honour of a family with children too, then yes, he would and should owe. This is not the case with Bethenny and Jason either, she made it on her own well before he came into her life. Giving the fact that it is mainly men in 'high seated places' that pass these laws and are the ones that could change things, why have the laws never changed with the times. It's certainly not a woman's doing. I DON'T EVEN DISAGREE WITH YOU, I JUST OFFERED AN 'REASON TO MAYBE WHY' People should do the right thing for fuck's sake. Sounds like America needs to sort their laws out surely, as you've clearly pointed out, times have changed and women are now much more in the workplace. Well, this has only happened over the past 20/30 years. The laws are outta touch. With what you say even 40% are breadwinners! Yet STILL, 97 % of men are still paying out? - No, it doesn't add up. BTW. My friend ended up happy with children, she's more than happy with how it turned out, at least he knew the party was over... Poof, Gone... He's just searching for his next free pass in life buddy! Not cool.
She’s not emotional because of alimony but because it was a really long and painful divorce, complete with stalking and all sorts of painful situations that is none of our business. I agree that alimony is weird, unsustainable, and frequently accompanied by drama and hypocrisy regardless of gender.
bethenny is very professional, at the start of the interview she is well aware that she is a reality tv show celebrity and therefore she understands that the press will not only celebrate her success but also her failures. money doesn't equal happiness, meaning even though bethenny made all that money she admits that being a reality star is hard in the sense where she does not have privacy and that sometimes she does want a break from all of it. divorce is hard for anyone, she is no exception
I love LOVE and I hate to see Bethenny go through this (or anyone that I like) I hope she can get better-Like many things it will take time. Thanks Ellen for having her on the show to represent herself because these tabloids are hurtful and not always true.
I honestly dont know who this is, but i can tell she is devastated. I went thru a brake up last year, it was horrible, the guy that i thought was the ideal perfect guy thru me a 180 and rock my world by seeing a guy behind my back. The way this lady talks, and the comments she makes remind me a lot about me last year. Time will heal here. Good Luck to her
just chalks up to being very incompatible with each other. I also heard rumors that Jason was jealous of Bethenny's career success. Like someone else said, it's hard to make the both the love & career departments successful, but it CAN be done with the right person. At least Bethenny has her family in NY & her fans & friends to lend their support. She has a good career. She can take care of herself & her daughter. She's a strong woman. Hang in there, Bethenny. You're not a failure at all!
I have the utmost respect for Ellen and Bethenny. Ellen for being all-around awesome and also for helping Bethenny laugh during a rough time. Bethenny for being brave enough to discuss this publicly so soon and honestly at that. I'm sure she did not choose career over love and I'm sure she did everything she possibly could to keep the marriage together. I wish the absolute best for her, Jason, and Bryn.
I can see you are a real trooper for marriage, and I agree you cannot give up easily, but sometimes, divorce is the best thing for everyone. not just "me". My parents got divorced after 20 years of marriage. they worked for 20 years! when it came to it though... they just couldnt see themselves together for another 20 and now I have 2 amazing step parents and families. I know where you are coming from, but u cant write off someone just because they got divorced.
My heart aches for her :( I love Bethenny I know she will make it threw she is a strong women! Yes it sucks in the moment but she just had to keep her head up and keep going... Like she said she didn't want to be on the show but did it cuz she can't just go hide she has to keep moving forward!!!
I been watching her for the last couple of years. I have to say I don't think I have ever seen anyone more open or honest than Bethenny. She says it like it is and she owns it. There are very few ppl like that in this world. Hope God gives her the true love and support she so yearns for and deserves
Open Minded I love her! She rocks! So smart, talented and witty! A quick, quick woman.
But, at the same time, she is very arrogant and a bully, very toxic person, very selfish.
Love her.
Bethenny is a very brave woman for doing an interview so fast after her divorce from Jason.
SHE IS NOT A FAILURE! Keep on keeping on Bethenny!
Who is here in May 2024? Bethenny looks better than ever and is on top of the world!!
I know this was over a year ago, but I feel that this is truly brave of her to do this. I just stumbled upon this now. Going through divorce is really crappy and everything she says is on target. You get through it though.
She is right, she is a disappointment and a failure...No man worth his salt would give this woman the time of the day..She has no love in her ♥
Bean she Let it happen to you and see how you change your mind you heartless Bitch.
michele fellows Michelle, if this is the type of woman you admire or fee sorry for you need to take a lomg look at your values... This is how a woman shoulnt be... Compassion for those who deserve it... Not this miserable shrew...

Shame on you for siding with him, nobody deserves to be treated like that, I am so happy she pressed charges on him and I hope she gets full custody of Brynn and he goes away for a loonnnng time! Bethenny is a wonderful role model to all women!
If her X was so horrible, why did the court side with her husband? 97% of all alimony and child support hearings side with the wife.
Bethany is a strong person :) Even tho many people don't like her, someone like me will support her all the way! Be happy and stay strong Bethany!
I just want to give Bethenny a huge hug!! My prayers are with her while she's moving through this emotional stage in her life..
She had a moment of love and got a beautiful child out of it. I'd take that over being single and alone like she was before she met Jason. She'll get through it. xo
Poor girl, leave her alone. You wouldn't want someone digging through your marriage.
You reep what you sow. 'Live by the media and be judged by the media'.
AWW WE LOVE YOU BETHENNY!!!! You are real as they come and you'll get through this, my heart goes out to you.
She's very real and very honest. You can tell that it's hard for her. I wish her the best.
I feel for you Bethenny, I pray God gives you strength to get through this difficult period in your life. I've been married for 17 years and let me tell you, we've had our ups and downs and thank God, we've gotten through it. Every day together is a blessing, so I know how hard it was to decide to dissolve your marriage. I hope you surround yourself with a POSITIVE support system and and cut loose the ties that drag you down. Keep your head up and look forward to a brighter future!
she seems stronger than most people.i've never been married or divorced,i can imagine a divorce being a painful experience.to talk about it publicly is unthinkable to me.
Bethenny is such an inspiration to woman around the world. She speaks with such honesty and I think that is definitely something we need to see more of from other celebrities and just people in general globally. Thank you Bethenny
seeing her talk about this is so hard and beautiful at the same time.. it just makes her look so much more real than I ever thought she was.. amazing!
truer words have never been spoken Ellen, no one knows what happens behind closed doors, I feel your pain Bethenny, I hope you become stronger through this and you find your true love
Poor Bethenny, this just breaks my heart :(

I'm heartbroken. I just can't.. I saw how Bethenny and Jason got married, and now I'm seeing them divorce. It just hurts, because I thought their relationship was gonna last forever.

It's sad to see someone who is so happy, look so sad and put down... Remember you are not a failure and you are awesome Bethenny!
Love how supporting Ellen is, even with sensitive issues such as this.

It's good to see more positive Bethenny comments for a change. I think she's a very strong and great person just as Ellen is

Awh great to see that they're such great friends, you don't see that a lot, things being expressed this deep by celebrities
Bethenny is a strong willing and strong minded woman. If you didn't love that about her? Why did you watch her shows? She will go down in history for her accomplishments
"strong willing" smh
I adore you Bethanny! And am hoping for the best for you and Brynn!

I really started crying I don't know why. But there are so many divorces in the world I never even expected her to get one I saw something about her and Jason on a magazine and of course thought it was fake but watching this I guess really hit me and hit close to home I teared up I really like Bethany and wish her all the best.
she can be a bit overly aggressive but Bethenny is one fantastic woman. She's real and brutally honest, LOVE HER.
i love how Ellen can make anyone laugh about their situation ! best of luck to her, she'll get through it ! ( :
im not sure who she is, but she seems so heartbroken. An Im going through the same thing right now, got me in tears. That feeling she had where she tried to choke back the tears and hold it in...going through it every single day. Wish i could fast forward time, and just pass this.....
It's so hard to see her like this...such a real and sad moment :(
keep strong bethany. we are all here for you

Unfortunately, getting back together seldom works.

this is so sad... to judge a person just because shes getting a divorce... sick sick sick SICK people Bethanny looks like a very beautiful, talented and shes an ispiration. All my love and support goes to Bethanny..
I can only tell about divorce by my parents experience. And It's hard, only people who faces it know it. Bethenny always put her life out there and have a open relation with public, but She still a human, a mother and a Wife back home. Ellen is right, nobody know what goes around the 4 walls. Being a celebrity or not, she deserves all of our respect and love. And specially Brynn, but I'm sure Jason and Bethenny will do the best for her. Hope everything turns to be better this year for them.
I love Bethany!💝
I don't particularly like her but I really wanted to hug her through this video
Bethenny, you're so beautiful. Keep on smiling!
She is a tv personality and she has her own talkshow. On Wikipedia you can find more info if you want.
Absolutely love Bethenny, wish her all the best.
I watched her reality show, and honestly, they were both very passive aggressive with each other (based on what was shown anyway) They were very “one up-person-ship with each other. Jason was intimidated with her success, he came from being a pharma sales rep making $70-80k a year, then then, she become a multi-millionairess. I think he was truly happy for her success on one side, but intimidated on the other. Most men would feel emasculated, he struggled with should he work with her, or not. Tough decisions. Jason came from a small town where he was King, into a relationship where Bethenny was the Queen and he was the Prince. Tough spot for any relationship. If you listen to them during the mini-series it was painful to watch, especially on vacations, when they had time alone. I think they both did the best they could under difficult circumstances.
I love you Bethanny and I will continue to support you!!
Im so sad for Bethanny. That's good that she has someone to talk about that sort of things. Ellen, dont turn your back on that :)
U will get better bethanny, and i hope I see you smile next time :)
take care
Did you listen to anything Jason said about her? She was just trying to please everyone and be perfect, and a person can't physically do that. Yet, Jason ALWAYS put her down. He called her stupid too many times to count. And he did need to find his passion in life, as everyone must do. He basically quit his job to ride on her coattails. Her assistant was like family to her. You become close to people you work with. I can't even believe this comment. It's so horrible, rude, and judgmental.
for most people with bad days, it's hard for them to talk with a straight head.
But, all that aside, you have absolutely the most dynamite talk show ever, and the only one I ever watched. You're a freakin' media GENIUS, Ellen.
Marriage is hard even when it's good. Been married 23 yrs so I feel I can kind of speak on this. Before I found the right one, it was just confusion and heartbreak. So no, I don't think Bethenny and I would be good friends if we knew each other, but I feel compassion for her. Clearly these are real tears, not fake. I hope for her this experience softens her some and doesn't thicken the apparent walls she has built. She, like all of us, deserves happiness.
She's very candid and I will give her that. Seeing her show her pain now basically confirms that her happiness was probably just as real too.So many of these women on these shows are phony like Kenya from RHOA who basically hired a guy to play her boyfriend. People like Bethenny because she is sincere
i just love her. I am so sorry for what you're going through. You are far from a failure!!
She's a strong woman to go up their and talk about her relationship
Same here lol...I've seen her on Ellen a couple times and people are always complaining on how they don't like her. So..idk..but everytime she's on Ellen she seems fun and nice
I know we could all tell she wanted to cry throughout the whole interview. I really feel bad for her.❤
Apparently, when the woman is paying alimony, it's "you go girl!", "aww, what she's going through is shitty". When a guy is paying it, it's "pay up or face the cooler". Where's the sympathy for the MEN? What's with the double standard? Where are the awwwss and tears for the men being ABSOLUTELY shafted by said alimony lawsuits. She got a deal 80% of divorced men would kill for. 97% of alimony payments are made by men. Should the awwwss only go to a minority?
Whinge to someone who can make a change if anything - it is not her fault how the law works. Woman are in the minority, as it's normally the majority of men who are the breadwinners. I watched my best friend hand over half of all the assets SHE had. He would not keep a job so she clothed feed and paid the mortgage for two, let alone that he would become aggressive if money was not on hand to take. She couldn't leave the house as he'd get it - So stayed on a sofabed while keeping down her job of course and he slept with other women in there with my friend in the house. It seemed crazy that anyone would be awarded money for nothing. Yet he did! She's richer than ever now, she has now moved on and has children. He put his half down the drain in one year.
leanne lovesmusic sorry but look at the statistics. Women are about 40% of breadwinners yet men pay 97% in alimony cases. The math doesn't add up. Men have it much worse when it comes to the judicial system. Glad your friend got shafted like so many men before.
What a horrible thing to say and a way to look at the world. It seemed you missed the bit at the start where I say "whinge to someone who can do something" and "it's not her fault how the law works." Which it's not! - Example of the top of my head... Should Paul McCartney give his last skimming ex-wife HALF of what he's made during his life? NO! We know she's a just shameless golddigger. As of course, 18million wasn't enough it seemed. Now IF she'd been with him since the start and she raised his children while he went out to do what he does while having the honour of a family with children too, then yes, he would and should owe. This is not the case with Bethenny and Jason either, she made it on her own well before he came into her life. Giving the fact that it is mainly men in 'high seated places' that pass these laws and are the ones that could change things, why have the laws never changed with the times. It's certainly not a woman's doing. I DON'T EVEN DISAGREE WITH YOU, I JUST OFFERED AN 'REASON TO MAYBE WHY' People should do the right thing for fuck's sake. Sounds like America needs to sort their laws out surely, as you've clearly pointed out, times have changed and women are now much more in the workplace. Well, this has only happened over the past 20/30 years. The laws are outta touch. With what you say even 40% are breadwinners! Yet STILL, 97 % of men are still paying out? - No, it doesn't add up. BTW. My friend ended up happy with children, she's more than happy with how it turned out, at least he knew the party was over... Poof, Gone... He's just searching for his next free pass in life buddy! Not cool.
And its, not Bethenny Frankel's fault. Simple.
She’s not emotional because of alimony but because it was a really long and painful divorce, complete with stalking and all sorts of painful situations that is none of our business. I agree that alimony is weird, unsustainable, and frequently accompanied by drama and hypocrisy regardless of gender.
STAY STRONG BETHENNY WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
just 2 yrs ago I Remember watching her show and she getting married ! Now she getting a divorced :( Stay Strong Be
bethenny is very professional, at the start of the interview she is well aware that she is a reality tv show celebrity and therefore she understands that the press will not only celebrate her success but also her failures. money doesn't equal happiness, meaning even though bethenny made all that money she admits that being a reality star is hard in the sense where she does not have privacy and that sometimes she does want a break from all of it. divorce is hard for anyone, she is no exception
Stay Strong, please don't lose your spirit, you're not alone!
I love LOVE and I hate to see Bethenny go through this (or anyone that I like) I hope she can get better-Like many things it will take time. Thanks Ellen for having her on the show to represent herself because these tabloids are hurtful and not always true.
I honestly dont know who this is, but i can tell she is devastated. I went thru a brake up last year, it was horrible, the guy that i thought was the ideal perfect guy thru me a 180 and rock my world by seeing a guy behind my back. The way this lady talks, and the comments she makes remind me a lot about me last year. Time will heal here. Good Luck to her
I wish her the best year of her life.
just chalks up to being very incompatible with each other. I also heard rumors that Jason was jealous of Bethenny's career success. Like someone else said, it's hard to make the both the love & career departments successful, but it CAN be done with the right person. At least Bethenny has her family in NY & her fans & friends to lend their support. She has a good career. She can take care of herself & her daughter. She's a strong woman. Hang in there, Bethenny. You're not a failure at all!
I have the utmost respect for Ellen and Bethenny. Ellen for being all-around awesome and also for helping Bethenny laugh during a rough time. Bethenny for being brave enough to discuss this publicly so soon and honestly at that. I'm sure she did not choose career over love and I'm sure she did everything she possibly could to keep the marriage together. I wish the absolute best for her, Jason, and Bryn.
I can see you are a real trooper for marriage, and I agree you cannot give up easily, but sometimes, divorce is the best thing for everyone. not just "me". My parents got divorced after 20 years of marriage. they worked for 20 years! when it came to it though... they just couldnt see themselves together for another 20 and now I have 2 amazing step parents and families. I know where you are coming from, but u cant write off someone just because they got divorced.
My heart aches for her :( I love Bethenny I know she will make it threw she is a strong women! Yes it sucks in the moment but she just had to keep her head up and keep going... Like she said she didn't want to be on the show but did it cuz she can't just go hide she has to keep moving forward!!!
Stay Strong,I haven't watched many of her shows,but I already respect her
awww dont cry Beth everthing will be ok , be strong girl
I'm afraid I am also a person who doesn't really know this woman, but this is really sad and I hope that she finds happiness again.
Ellen you're perfect you can deal with any kind of situation and give it it's real essence
What's the reason why she went on Ellen like this?
i dont know why ppl hate her , she's might be a good person in her day-by-day life
