There are new, amusing allegations in the ongoing divorce war between Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy. Bethenny and Jason are still living together in the same New York City apartment, even though they’ve been separated for seven months, because both of them refuse to leave. This if course predictably causes friction when they’re together, including arguments, yelling and water-throwing. Additionally, Bethenny is said to be trying to raise their daughter Bryn, 3, as a vegan, which Jason says a nutritionist warned them against.
According to the insider, Jason accuses Bethenny of storming into his room while he was sleeping on March 15. ?She threw water on him to wake him and yelled that she ?has more money than God,?? says the insider who?s read court papers, ?while Bryn was sleeping in the next room.? He also says she?s called him ?white trash? in front of Bryn.
Jason claims that Bethenny is too focused on her career and unable to give her full attention to their daughter, Bryn. “His court papers say that when Bethenny’s team was watching her, Bryn locked herself in a bathroom on set. Firemen had to break down the door ? Bryn wound up crying hysterically in a corner,” the insider tells In Touch.
He also alleges that Bethenny attempted to put Bryn on a vegan diet without consulting him, even though a nutritionist later said that it wasn?t healthy for a toddler. ?According to Jason, Bethenny has ?issues? with food and refused to allow Bryn to eat animal products,? the insider reveals to In Touch.
Bethenny?s lawyer categorically denies Jason?s claims, but one thing?s clear ? Jason?s laundry list of complaints reveals the ongoing divorce has hit a new low. ?No one expected it to be amicable,? says a second source. ?But this has gotten downright nasty.?

I get wanting to raise your child as a vegetarian or vegan if that’s your personal belief system, but not because you want the kid to be “skinny” or whatever. There’s a thin line between eating for personal convictions and sharing that with your family and pushing your eating disorders off on your kids. We all know where Bethenny falls on that spectrum. A source tells Radar Online that “Bethenny obsessively monitors what Bryn eats.”
I love the visual of Bethenny throwing water on sleeping Jason and screaming at him that she was “richer than God.” If she’s so rich, why doesn’t she get another apartment and quit bickering with Jason over money? If she doesn’t have to worry about money, why make her divorce more contentious than it has to be? Jason is always going to be her daughter’s father and it would be much easier for her to try to peacefully coparent than fight him every step of the way.
Meanwhile Bethenny’s new boyfriend doesn’t have to worry about money either. We’ve heard that she’s been spending time with a billionaire named Warren Lichtenstein, whom she’s claimed is just an “old friend.” She was recently seen on vacation with him in St. Tropez. Old friend indeed.

Looking breezy and bright in the Big Apple, Bethenny Frankel left her apartment in the city on Thursday (June 11).
The former "Real Housewife" smiled in a white tank top, long turquoise and white skirt, and circular-framed shades as she stepped out in the sunshine.
Enjoying the season, Ms. Frankel tweeted on Thursday, "People give manhattan a bad rap in summer but the parks, playgrounds & pools are so nice. I'm pleasantly surprised. #kidfriendly."
Soon, the 42-year-old Skinnygirl will have a bit of competition as her daytime talk show will compete for viewers with Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner's new program, starting July 15th on selected Fox stations.
Graciously welcoming her, Bethenny tweeted, "Congrats @KrisJenner on your new talk show! Have fun, enjoy the ride & take it all in."

Former RHONY castmember turned entrepreneur and talk show hostess, Bethenny Frankel, is in a drawn-out custody battle with her ex, Jason Hoppy. Neither party is budging, they’re both still living in the same New York city apartment they shared during their marriage, and they’re both angling for full custody of their three year-old daughter. Depending on which reports you believe, Bethenny wants full custody and Jason is just responding or vice-versa.
These two are also feuding over their daughter’s exposure to the media. Bethenny has accused Jason, via “unnamed sources,” of calling the paparazzi when he’s out with his daughter. (Which is ripe because there are a ton of photos of her out with their daughter as well.) However she’s dead-set on featuring her daughter in some capacity on her talk show, while Jason is dead set against it.
The contentious divorce and custody proceedings have ?taken an even nastier turn after Jason told Bethenny, via their respective lawyers, that he absolutely doesn?t want their daughter, Bryn, to appear on her talk show,? the source said. ?He doesn?t want Bethenny to have Bryn in the audience, or do pre-taped segments for the show. He just doesn?t feel that their daughter should be on display on Bethenny?s talk show.?
Bethenny?s reaction was immediate and strong.
Frankel went ?ballistic when she was told Jason didn?t want Bryn to appear on the talk show. Jason and Bryn were both featured in the audience of a test run of the show last summer,? the source told Radar. ?Bethenny isn?t planning on interviewing the little girl, she is 3 years old!
?But if she is doing a segment about kids? birthday parties, or cooking, she would like the option of having Bryn being a part of it. Bethenny would never exploit their child, it?s just not who she is as a mother. Her entire world is devoted to Bryn, and she comes first.?
Added the source: the judge will likely ?have to intervene on this issue.. It?s just so very sad to see both Jason and Bethenny, who both loved each other so much, who were once so very much in love, to be in this predicament now.?
The former Real Housewives of New York City star, and Hoppy faced off in court on Thursday morning after the pharmaceutical sales exec accused his former wife of not allowing him to see Bryn.

The more we hear about Bethenny’s divorce, the more clear it becomes that she’s unable to amicably co-parent with her ex. She’s the one with the money, she easily could have moved out and rented another apartment, but she’s stubbornly staying put. She could concede this one point and agree that their daughter shouldn’t be exposed in the media, the little girl could become a target after all, but she refuses to acknowledge that her ex has a say in how their daughter is raised. Even if she still disagrees, she could give in and say “ok, I’ll give you this one, we’ll use other little kids on the pre-taped segments.” No, she wants her way on every single issue and she’s so convinced she’s right that she tells the press all about it too.

There are two competing stories out about Bethenny Frankel’s ongoing, protracted divorce and custody battle with her live-in ex, Jason Hoppy. The story which was published first, and which I believe is the true version of events, is in Life & Style. L&S claims that Bethenny is seeking sole custody of her four year-old daughter with Jason, Bryn. That’s basically all L&S says, along with some background and the fact that Bethenny and Jason were in court for an “emergency custody hearing” yesterday. So if you ask me, that story comes from Jason. It has just the facts, no one is painted as a victim or a villain, and we know that Bethenny is the one seeking full custody.
Compare that version of events with a story that US Weekly published later, at the end of the day, claiming that Jason is making Bethenny’s life so hard by refusing to move out of their shared apartment, blocking cameras filming for Bethenny’s talkshow, and seeking sole custody of their daughter. We know who this story comes from:
Feuding exes Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy may have called off their nearly two-and-half year marriage in December 2012, but the legal fallout is far from over. On Thursday, June 20, the exes met once again in court to duke it out over custody of their 2-year-old daughter Bryn.
“Today was really difficult for Bethenny,” a source close to the Skinnygirl mogul tells Us Weekly. “The divorce is taking a toll on her. She just wants what’s best for her daughter. She wants this divorce to be over and done with, but it’s being drawn out by Jason. All Bethenny wants to do is move on.”
Adds another insider: “Jason calls paparazzi to set up shots of him hanging out with Bryn and being father of the year while he has on his wedding ring.”
Frankel, 42, and Hoppy, 41, are currently both vying for primary custody of their young daughter while they continue to cohabitate in their 3,400-square-foot Tribeca loft — where more drama unfolded about a month ago, when Frankel was taping a piece for her talk show.
According to a source at the shoot, “There were about 20 people over at the house. Jason freaked out and started snapping at everybody. He tried to stop the entire filming. Bethenny had to move the shoot into her bedroom.” The source adds, “Jason has been making the living arrangements really uncomfortable and not a healthy living space for Bryn. Bethenny has had to leave so she takes Bryn to hotels so they can have alone quality time together where it’s not uncomfortable in the apartment.”
Eyewitnesses have seen Frankel spending time with Bryn at hotels like the Trump Soho and the Mondrian.

Poor Bethenny, going through the most difficult thing anyone could go through in their life. You know what? She just showed her hand completely in this US Weekly piece. She’s mad that Jason is staying in the apartment she wants to keep, she’s mad he blocked her camera crew, and she’s trying to block him from seeing their daughter as a result. She probably doesn’t want to pay child support either. Poor Bethenny, having to stay at luxury hotels. She can’t try to find another apartment because that would mean that she’s no longer fighting her ex tooth and nail on every point of contention. Also, she’s complaining because Jason calls the paps? That’s ripe.

Channeling her inner-hippie, Bethenny Frankel set out for a city stroll with her gorgeous daughter Bryn this morning (June 11).
The Skinnygirl mogul pushed her little one?s stroller around Manhattan while sporting a wide-brimmed hat with colorful Hello Kitty sunglasses, a patterned tank top and some bell-bottom jeans.
And as her divorce from Jason Hoppy drags on, Bethenny can?t seem to grasp why her ex insists on still wearing his wedding ring.
She told press, ?It's an interesting choice. I don't understand it.? Frankel also takes issue with the fact that he still lives in their apartment. ?My living situation is very, very stressful. I don't think it's very healthy for anyone involved. It's very upsetting. You just have to endure it.?

The last time I remember hearing about Bethenny Frankel’s living condition she was staying with a billionaire “friend” while her estranged husband, Jason Hoppy, was holed up in the Soho apartment he used to share with her. She even went on vacation with this “friend” so it looked like she was dating him. Well that doesn’t seem to have worked out for Bethenny because she’s moved back into her old apartment, where the ex who is putting her through “the most difficult thing” she can imagine going through in her life, divorce, is still living. Like she describes everything else, Bethenny frames this as some epic personal struggle:
The former Real Housewives of New York City star opened up about her lengthy court battle and how unhappy she is still living with Jason.
Bethenny, 42, says that she and Jason are ?uneasily? sharing their Manhattan apartment, and they both want full custody of Bryn.
?My living situation is very, very stressful,? she told People magazine. ?I don?t think it?s very healthy for anyone involved. It?s very upsetting.? Since they both want to live in the Manhattan apartment she said they make the situation work, even though it is miserable.
?You just have to endure it.?
Bethenny said that she was devastated when her marriage to Jason, 41, turned sour and that she hit a dark and low point with self reflection.
?All the things that I?ve tried to resolve in therapy and get past from my childhood reared their ugly head in my marriage. My marriage made me feel like I was a bad person, like I was damaged, I was dysfunctional, I was never going to be happy. But I don?t believe that to be true. Yet there I was in a relationship that made me feel that way.?
Now getting ready to launch her talk show Bethenny, she said that she had reservations about Jason from the start and wished she?d paid attention to her own feelings.
?Maybe that?s the first lesson learned: to go with my gut. Because I waited a long time to see if I even wanted to be in this relationship I didn?t go with my first instinct.?

This lady is supposed to be beyond wealthy. She has plenty of money. She could easily sublet another apartment at this point, she could even stay in a hotel, but she doesn’t want to do that. She wants to stand her ground and try and force her ex to move out. That’s fine, she just should own that instead of trying to claim that she’s some victim who has to just “endure” her situation. If she would give in a little it would go much easier for her, much like her custody and divorce battle, in which she’s trying to get sole custody of her three year-old daughter instead of sharing 50/50 custody with her ex.

Spending some mommy-daughter time in the Big Apple, Bethenny Frankel and Bryn Hoppy ate lunch on a stoop in Tribeca before strolling the city streets on Monday (May 6).
The former "Real Housewife of New York" wore a black jacket, black pants, flip-flops, and a red baseball cap while her adorable little girl pushed her dolly in a stroller beside her.
Though the 42-year-old talk show host is currently going through a messy divorce with husband Jason Hoppy, the two put aside their differences this past weekend to celebrate their child's 3rd birthday.
On Saturday (May 4), the two made nice with the sweet birthday girl at Dylan's Candy Bar by Bloomingdales in New York City.

The last time we reported on Bethenny Frankel’s musings on divorce she was calling it “the most difficult thing you could go through in your life” without adding any qualifiers for death, illness, poverty or accidents. In Bethenny’s carb-starved mind, divorce was the worst thing that could happen to anyone, since it’s the worst thing that’s happened to her so far in her sheltered life.
Well Bethenny is still talking about it, and it sounds like she considers herself a victim even though she’s the one working to strip her ex of 50/50 custody of their nearly three year old daughter. More on that in a moment.
While Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy aren’t scheduled to return to divorce court for a few more weeks, the reality-star-turned-talk-show-host has been giving a lot of thought to how far apart she and her ex have drifted.
At the time of the split, Frankel released a statement in which she said that she and Hoppy hoped to “amicably co-parent” their daughter Bryn, who turns 3 next month.
Now, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Frankel says she can see that’s going to be a challenge.
“I really did think it would be amicable. I absolutely did,” she says. “I wrote that entire statement myself. And everysingle word, I believed to be true.”
Now, faced with divorce negotiations that continue to drag on ? while Hoppy continues to wear his wedding ring ? Frankel is left to wonder how she could have been so off the mark.
“Someone said to me recently, ‘We see what we want to see.’ And I guess, at the time, that’s what I did,” she says.
Still, the Skinnygirl guru hasn’t stopped looking for the positive.
“The truth of the matter is, you go with your gut at the time,” she says. “Whatever I’m going through now, I’m certain that I’ll learn something from it. When the clouds pass, I will figure out what the silver lining was.”

Sidenote: I watched Silver Linings Playbook last night and it was awesome. (I also finished Best Marigold Hotel, which was also worthwhile.) It sounds like Bethenny got that last line from the movie and like she thinks she’s going through some great personal struggle she needs to share with the world. Maybe by sharing her story she’ll help some other very wealthy women with multi-million dollar empires struggling with divorce. I know I’m being a sarcastic bitch, but it’s hard to feel sorry for her at all.
As I mentioned, Bethenny has been trying to ensure that she has sole physical custody of her daughter, Brynn, while her ex is willing to share 50/50 custody. They live in the same city, I don’t get why she can’t share custody. It sounds like her definition of “amicable” is her ex rolling over and agreeing to whatever she wants. That’s probably why they split up in the first place.

Though the rain may have been falling, Bethenny Frankel decided to grin and bear it as she hailed a cab in Tribeca in New York City on Monday (April 29).
The former "Real Housewife of New York" rocked a white Minnie Mouse T-shirt, black leather jacket, a gray fedora, and black galoshes as she stepped in the taxi.
Though currently going through a custody battle with soon-to-be-ex-husband Jason Hoppy, the 42-year-old talk show host is working hard to keep a sense of normalcy in her life.
On Monday, Bethenny tweeted, "This week i'm into doing yoga at home. You can't beat wearing pjs to work out."
