Bethenny Frankel Opens Up About a Tough Week: ‘Holding It Together’

It hasn’t been Bethenny Frankel’s day, her week, her month, or even her year. Overall, break-ups suck, even if you’re a well-known, much-talked-about Real Housewives of New York alum. Further complicating things, just a few months after Bethenny’s engagement wrapped, her ex-fiancé Paul Bernon has already moved on. He is now dating Aurora Culpo, the older sister of Olivia Culpo.

Camera lenses snapped Paul and Aurora making out at The Regency in Boston. And now, Bethenny’s emotionally sitting at “like a three.”

Bethenny’s not well, b*tch

Happy Saddest Fourth of July, announced Bethenny on TikTok, lounging in bed with her dog in the Hamptons. “I had a sh*t week,” she began. In fact, her week was so bad, that she went on to compare it to her mother’s death. “My mother dying when I was at a low was like a one, maybe this was like a three,” she shared.



“I didn’t sleep all week,” she further revealed, as her GO TO SLEEP line immediately started sounding in my head. Luckily, her built-in bestie daughter Bryn Hoppy was at a friend’s house, happily participating in “Americana” activities. Back to sad, Bethenny next explained that she is “livin’ la vida no-ca.” However, she didn’t elaborate much, only saying “I’ll tell ya all about it this week on the podcast.”

Leaning into her mood, Bethenny joked that she was “going to watch Sons of Anarchy and watch them kill some people. Otherwise, I’m gonna do it.” Ending on a sarcastic-like high, a language that I am fully fluent in, Bethenny wished her followers a “happy Fourth of July,” before talking about her chosen bedside sad-girl snacks.



At first, she thought about ordering Mexican. But she “didn’t want to choose it and then order it and then wait for it. So, she opted for chips, Swedish candies, a margarita, and a can of Amy’s Lentil Soup, describing these snacks as being “sexy as f*ck.”

My name is Amy. I also identify as being sexy af. So this tracks. Rest well Bethenny, and good job, because now, we’ll all be listening in on your next podcast drop.

Bethenny’s seasons of Real Housewives of New York are streaming on Peacock.
