Bethenny Frankel & Jason Hoppy Splitting? He Moves Out — Report

Wed, March 28, 2012 11:31am EDT by Hollywood Life Staff 58 Comments

‘Til death do they part? Their friends aren’t so sure! Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy’s relationship has become so rocky that the two can’t even stand to be around each other anymore.

After months of non-stop arguing (that’s been widely documented on the couple’s reality show, Bethenny Ever After), Bethenny Frankel‘s husband, Jason Hoppy, has reached his breaking point! “The fighting has gotten worse,” a source revealed to In Touch.

In fact, it’s become so bad that Jason, 40, recently stormed out of the $5 million dollar Tribeca condo he shares with Bethenny and their 23-month-old daughter, Bryn, and checked into the nearby Cosmopolitan Hotel. “Bethenny’s a very difficult person in relationships,” the source said.

Jason’s friends claim that he’s completely fed up with Bethenny’s diva behavior and her constant obsession with her looks, fame and the launch of her LA-based television show. “Her energy has been nervous and neurotic,” the source added. “He can’t take it anymore, so he’s been doing everything on his own.”

Do YOU think that Jason and Bethenny have just hit a rocky patch in their marriage or are they doomed for divorce?

Bethany,
If you were on your death bed would you say you would rather condinue to grow your brand or spend more time with your family? We all know what your answer would be. Shame on you and save your marriage. PS and not in fron of the camera. Your followers are getting sick of you.

I admire Betheny for being so driven and being such a great business woman. But I think she needs to get over the “damaged ” thing. Jason seems to be a great husband and father. Obviously, that’s just what we see on tv, but it seems like she is a little crazy about silly things. So what he is close to his family. Get over it. She will probably push him away and end up losing him.

It is impossible for Bethenny to have a “normal” functional relationship. She is neurotic and is really not good for anyone. I admire her tenacity and business woman skills but as far as outside of business, I think she has issues. She needs to grasp what is important in life and no amount of money is going to love her or take care of her when all this fame is gone. I feel for Jason, he deserves more.

Totally agree

I admire Bethenny very much. I want Bethenny and Jason to be happy. I am sure that Bethenny wants Jason to be happy, too. Jason just needs to find whatever that spark is in life that makes him happy and go after it. He admitted on tonight’s show that he felt threatened that his wife makes more money than he does. He admitted that he hasn’t “found” what he wants to do at the age of 40. I know how that is, because I haven’t found what I want to do, either. Most people do not. So Jason, go out and find what you want to do with your life and stop blaming Bethenny for your unhappiness when it comes from within you and it has NOTHING to do with her.

Life is hard and so is marriage. Adding kids and career that everyone loves to talk about only make things harder. Every marriage has its problems. Every single one. Hang in there Bethenny and Jason. One day you’ll wake up and realize that you’ve not had a fight for a few days and slowly it’ll turn to weeks. But like your company your marriage needs its time to grow.

Jason is a big old mamas boy! Bethany needs a real man not a wimp! She needs to move on and find someone as strong and powerful as her, it’s never gonma work Jasons to much of a woman!

She is out of control! She has not taken responsibilty for actions and what about Bryn? Bethenny has let fame take over and she has lost control of her personel life. This is a prome example that fame and money does not buy happiness. I am sorry for Bryn and Jason. I hope all is ressolved for the family!

Her craving to be an attention whored out starlet is stronger than what her REAL focus should be, to be the best mother she can.

Really sad….poor Bryn is going to grow up to hate her, just as she did her own mother.

Bethenny needs to chill out and stop arguing with everyone around her, it seems like that’s all she knows how to do. Sometimes not talking about every little thing in your life can help calm things down. Bethenny… stop complaining and count your blessings!!!

Both Jason and Bethenny need to chill!!! Divorce won’t change anything, all that stuff will still be there! Jason needs counseling also. Jason knew what she was like when he met her! They haven’t been together that long and it takes a long time to really get to know each other. He seems very insecure! Bethenny and Jason should work harder in letting all that negative energy go!!!!

Honestly Frankel give The guy and rate divorce him now why he still has his dignity. You’ll need to pay him alimony and child support.

He has a fantastic woman, he loves her but he cannot stop trying to bash her as a form of the control. He knows her soft spots and all the pressure she in to… in this economy, a woman that can use herself as a channel to promote so many products it’s a genius… he don’t know what he has in his hands and he is nor suitable for her anymore, in her case, she needs move on… i hope she has a marriage contract or he is going to grab half of her life and it felt so wrong… She is suffering when she could be enjoying her life with a men that could just respect her. She needs a man that can look at her and realize that somebody like her in the world comes around once a while in a life time.

Bethany – really has to evolve as a person. I cannot imagine her show being successful – who wants to watch that negative energy all day. She is only happy when everything and everyone is about her. What a shame she is going to give her child the same roller coaster she had. She needs to read The Power of Now and stop the craziness.

If you want to save your marriage, get off TV!! Concentrate on your family and don’t worry about tv shows & fame-they are very hollow.

Shame on Jason Hoppy!! No person should tell another human being they are DAMAGED! We are all flawed!!! Say you disagree, say you have issues but damaged? I think Jason should be going to counceling so he can learn to be in touch with HIS feelings as well as Bethenys. Jason’s thinking is narrow and judgmental. You should be proud of your wife Jason—that she survived such child abuse and is trying to be a healthier person. Try kindness, unconditional love, tolerance, patience for the damaged child in your wife. You have parents who loved you unconditionally!! Not all of us are that lucky! Bethenys has never known that!! Yes she is high strung but she is WORTHY Of Love. And Betheney!! Stop apologizing for not being perfect!! No one is!!! Never let ANYONE call you damaged! EVER’!! and SLOW down. You are good enough!! Just like u r. No matter how hard u work, it won’t fix anything. It’s the ultimate form of running away. Learn to love yourself just as u r!!!! From imperfect me to imperfect you, I think you are great!!!!!

Okay – he might have said that to her once but every single show she brings up the same comment. She is trying t make a case for what – divorce – poor Bryn

Do you watch the show? Project much? How can someone with such evil parents not be damaged? She should be proud she is not so vile no person wants to be around her–but Bethenny has much larger issues with Jason then him calling her “damaged.”

I was a huge fan of Bethenny. I have watched the show since its inception and it is obvious what has happened. She spent so much time trying to “make it” (even being runner up on Martha Stewarts failed Apprentice spin off)she did not allow herself to actually “be” with any man. Remember her first relationship with Jason? Remember how she asked to move in and he did not want to? Bethenny wanted to be with a successful banker type because that gave her a sense of success by proxy.

She is not the type of woman that can handle a man making less then her and this is why in the beginning, when she struggled financially she needed a wealthy man to feel complete.

Go watch the evolution of their relationship. The person who spews to everyone around her how “perfect” Jason is was Bethenny! This was when she thought she made it. She had some cash, a new baby and a new man who did well (probably 200k a year).

Then the lottery ticket happened. Bethenny is not a mogul, she was a very popular reality star who had a good idea and a large company decided that to have their own hour long commercial (Watch Skinnygirl TV brought to you by Jim B!)was smart business. But 100 million would change the most humble of people. The pivot was that day they had that email offer. Go watch the episode, it is very telling. You can see she feels part of a team, Jason is an equal–he even makes them wait. They use the word “we” a great deal during that episode.

Rather then be humbled by the windfall she drank the kool-aid and believed that she was some master mind female Trump. Why do you think Julie left? To move in with mom and dad and get married? Did you see how she ripped Julie apart?
She now has one person left who knew her before the lottery winning–and that is Jason. One person left who challenges her, who does not buy the hype and just say yes yes yes (that therapist is horrible).

You will see them separate by June and divorced before xmas. And guess what? Cover stories on how she tried and tried but she just did not deserve to be punished for being such an amazing business woman and Jason is so different and needed someone that could be a nice small town housewife blah blah.

Then she will date a celebrity or very wealthy man because in her warped universe that is the type of person who deserved to be with someone like her.

Honestly, I think they both have way too much stuff on their plates. Their lives seem VERY stressful…I think they need to figure out what their priorities are. Their first priorities are their marriage and their daughter. THEN, the business. Juggling too many things…reality tv show with cameras around plus the business and other things she does makes for no intimacy let alone privacy! Jason also seems to be a little bit too enmeshed with his parents…another added stress on the relationship. Bethenny keeps referring to herself as “damaged” which isn’t good for her or the relationship. Everyone at some point in their lives have been damaged and more so than not everyone’s families are somewhat dysfunctional. Jason needs to be less judgmental and critical of Bethenny’s past relationship with her parents and get off his high horse regarding his own family! Otherwise it will never work!

As much as I enjoy her and her show,my medical training tells me that Bethenny is likely manifesting signs of bipolar disorder with periods of mania and depression. The mania makes her neurotic and the depressive states are manifestewd in the mood swings that send her spiraling into the tearful episodes. Whether she realizes it or not. That being said, I hope she is receiving treatment for it befor it causes her to self medicate again and destroy everything precious to her. An intervention by her close friends and family may be warranted. Her true fans will understand if she needs to step away for a moment, only to re-emerge even more amazing!

I Wish her Much Success and Happiness,
Signed,
Victorious/ True Fan

To Victorious, Your comment almost made me vomit. Your medical training? Bi-polar? Haha. You probably diagnose everyone that walks into your office as bi-polar. Bethenny is not even close. I pity anyone who has you as their “doctor” if indeed you even are one, which I seriously doubt. Self-medicate “again”? When in God’s name does she do that? What show are you watching?

Wishing You No Success and A Miserable Life,
Vomit

I am so very sad to hear this marriage isn’t working out. I wish Bethanny and Jason my prayers and faith that they look deep into themselves and see whats really important in life like their daughter Bryn.

Share this comment at

I agree I pray for Bethanny and Jason and Bryn They each need to dig deep down and find whats the most important in their lives. Its sad cause Bethanny is trying her hardest to keep her business going and manage a relationship. Jason new what he was getting himself into before he married her. He needs to speak up more and give her support On the other hand Bethanny needs to find more time to spend on her relationship its hard to have 2 people work together when they each have differant oppinions on how things should run

Bethany please watch your wedding video n remember what it felt like n your vows about your heart. Jason married you because he truly loved you. And because of him you have Bryn. Money n fame can be taken away. Your family you, him and Bryn can not. Please go into a church n pray. Leave the past n the hurt in the past. You are a good person with a sensitive heart. So slow down n be happy.

I really do feel that Jason would be better off if he divorced this vile obnoxious woman Bethenny. She does not appreciate him and she also resents the fact that he is so close to his parents. I can tell that she doesn’t like his parents around and she lies about even liking them. She is not very attractive and her behavior makes it a lot worse. Jason would be extremely happy without her in his life.

You are the vile, obnoxious one. Bethenny is a sweet, vivacious young woman. Who are you to call her vile, Melissa? She does appreciate Jason. In my opinion, Jason is the one who wants Bethenny to spend more time with Jason’s parents but Jason seems to have an unhealthy dependency on his own parents. Why must he see them so often? Why isn’t seeing them every four or five months often enough? I think Bethenny even said she was seeing them every couple of months, yet apparently this wasn’t enough for Jason. You need to think about how often many couples see the other spouse’s parents! I think Bethenny is doing okay in that department. Calling her “vile” and “obnoxious” is you showing your true colors. I happen to think she is extremely attractive. I like her personality, and her looks. I think Jason is lucky to have her. If Jason weren’t so unhappy in his own life, if perhaps he had decided he knew what he wanted to do for a living, which he has clearly admitted that he has NO CLUE, then maybe he would not be blaming Bethenny for his unhappiness. But it is just easier for men to blame women when they are unhappy, isn’t it? Jason is going to be miserable WITH OR WITHOUT Bethenny because in his heart Jason is a miserable person. He is 40 years old and not happy. He doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life and his wife is making more money than he does which makes him feel threatened. So go ahead and make your stupid asinine snide comments about Bethenny but they just make YOU look vile and obnoxious.

Muhr,

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we have freedom of speech. You are so engrossed in that others are saying about Bethenny when in fact she is a reality star and on TV, hence others will criticize. Your post puts everything on Jason when in fact it takes to in a marriage. Regardless of faults, when couples have issues they “equally” have to find a place of positiveness. Men are very different from women, no matter how strong they are, they may feel inadequate if their spouse is neglecting them.
