15 Frank Facts About RHONY’s Bethenny Frankel

8. Her estranged mother has called her a liar

Bethenny wrote an autobiography called The Place of Yes where she detailed a pretty ugly childhood and made some big accusations against her mom, Bernadette. Her mother however, said she was lying for the sake of her TV ratings. “Bethenny spread vicious and horrible lies about me simply for publicity, her ratings were down and they soared! I gave her the benefit of the doubt, and I always left the door open for her, but she destroyed it and now that door is shut forever!” Their feud has escalated to where Bethenny has said, “I haven’t spoken to my mother in well over a decade…She doesn’t know me! I haven’t known her since I was 14 years old,” adding, “She’s so desperate, it’s really sad. I will never ever speak to her again as long as I live.” Newsflash: Bethenny recently reached out to her estranged mother after her 6-year-old daughter asked to meet her. Could the reconciliation be broadcast on a future RHONY episode? Time will tell.
