Bethenny Frankel Is Still Married to Jason Hoppy?

Bethenny Frankel may no longer be a cast member of the Real Housewives of New York, but that doesn’t mean she can’t still make iconic TV.

In 2017, Hoppy was arrested after consistently stalking and threatening her. So to hear that this divorce is still an ongoing matter made Cohen’s jaw drop. Frankel did not explain anything further, saying instead, “Crickets again! Aaaand scene.†A confusing move by improv standards, but that’s what keeps Frankel so fascinating.
