Bethenny Frankel Split: "They Really Tried", Are "Devastated"
Bethenny Frankel Split:
December 26, 2012

Fans of Bethenny Ever After know that there was plenty of drama and conflict in Bethenny Frankel'**s marriage to Jason Hoppy -- but there was no third party involved when the spouses of nearly three years announced their split Dec. 23.

"No one cheated," a Frankel friend shares in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now.

"They're both devastated," the friend continues of Frankel, 42, and pharmaceutical sales exec Hoppy, 41, who share daughter Bryn, 2. And although the pair butted heads -- over Frankel's staggering financial success and Hoppy's family -- "they really tried," the pal says. "They grew apart. She is very upset."

Indeed, Frankel -- who has gone from reality star to bestselling author, talk show host and head of the Skinnygirl company -- "feels like she disappointed herself," another source says. "She disappointed her daughter and she disappointed her fans."

For much more on what led to the split -- and what's at stake financially -- pick up the news Us Weekly, on stands Friday!

She looked miserable with Hoppy and without. Money is good but you can't grow old with it and enjoy your child and future grandchildren. She will never find anyone to make her happy and grow old with. Unless she is paying them.

I think that Bethenny and Jason are both idiots. In fact, the only smart ones are his parents, stopped appearing on the show after season 1. What kind of real man lets his wife bash his parents on National TV to some loss shrink. He is an idiot for not defending them and putting his foot down about it and she is a complete witch for constantly complaining about them and every other decent person in her life. Bethenny's own mother predicted it and she was 100% right. Jason, you need to grow some and stand up for your family, even if that means losing $ because you won't be filmed as much. I saw Bethenny this summer in the Hamptons at a carnival and she looked absolutely MISERABLE with Bryn. She paid no attention to her and left the nanny to play and have fun with her on the rides. That's the real Bethenny. Mr. And Mrs. Hoppy- Congratulations to you BOTH!!!

I genuinely feel bad for the both of them and to hear they are separated. Maybe they just need time apart to get it together and then come back and fix it as a family. I have always been a big fan of Bethennys... But there were a lot of times watching the show when you could see that instead of pursuing whatever opportunity she had going on at the time- she should've stepped back and said no, now is not the time to start this venture and spend time at home with her husband. She was always very preoccupied with starting the talk show, ice skating with the stars... And those are great ambitions but her marriage did not seem first priority. I always felt bad that she kind of wedged Jason from his parents, I don't know of that comes from her just not knowing what a family really is... But you would think that for someone that's always had to raise themselves and never had real parents- that she would relish in that- not only for her sake but for the sake of her daughter- so that she could give her daughter what she never had... A big loving Family!!! With parents and grandparents. I think Bethenny is a very in charge, demanding person and that was also the straw that broke the camels back- a person cannot always expect to live up to their spouses high expectations. Sometimes I think she should've just let it go. And she could've had it all- she says finding the balance between career and family is her biggest struggle... And I think Jason truly was her biggest fan but no one likes being pushed to the side or being the last priority on a daily basis- I think if she had put Jason first more he would've always rooted her on. I really hope she alters her mindset some and realizes that in 5 years if no one knows what Skinny girl is anymore or your face isn't on Bravo... That you can look at the person next to you and know they are still there and that you persevered through all of this and that the one thing you are still accomplishing is a wonderful marriage. Fame is a very fleeting thing... But at the end of the day when you hit the ground- who will be there.

Sometimes you Don't know what you've married until you married them! Some people Grow Resentful! Inconsiderate! Self-centered! etc. Some people should come with Warning Labels! I think when people know they've found A Good Soul! They feel that Can relax the Good Behavior! Because, that person will just take it! A Love gained, can be A Loved Lost! I'm aware that I'm Not A Succinct Thinker! I try, but it's just Not There!

You know the elder Mrs. Hoppy must be smiling from ear to ear! Now she can have the best relationship possible with her granddaughter and son. Bethenny so obviously was jealous of his family. I watched the show and it was blatantly obvious.

Jason knew what he married when he married her and the problems that she has and the things she wanted to achieve, jill on the other hand has a carpet owner that she can walk all over

She is so focused on her self and her business

She couldn't stand Jill Zarin (auto correct turned Zarin into Satin, Haha!) because she always thought Jill was too consumed with money, social climbing, and material things. Then, Bethany meets this great guy, with a great, sweet, down to earth family and she hates them because they're not Hamptons enough for her, or they're not sophisticated enough. Jason was trying to bend over backwards to be who he thought Bethany wanted him to be all the while, trying not to hurt his parent's feelings. It looked to me like she never tried to compromise, she just always layed down the law and Jason had to either be on board or else. I'm sure Jason did his share of sh*t too...but she really seems crazy and inflexible.
