Bethenny Frankel says she’s steadfastly against getting married again after what happened the last time around. Heck, what’s still happening this time around.
Her divorce from Jason Hoppy is not even finalized yet, but Frankel is scarred for life, to the point where she says she will never walk down the aisle again.
The nasty split from her estranged husband – and ensuing custody battle over their daughter Bryn – has played out in the public eye, and it’s been ugly.
On Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked The Real Housewives of New York City star if she still believed in marriage after this.
To make a long story short … not at all. "I think there are amazing guys out there," Bethenny added, "but I will never, ever be legally married again."
"I will never get legally married again," she responded. "It doesn’t mean that I would not commit to someone, and I’m not jaded or bitter about love."
Frankel has been locked in the bitter divorce battle with Hoppy since the couple called it quits after three years of marriage back in December 2012.
If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online, you remember their courtship and marriage, as documented on multiple spinoff series.
When the cameras stopped rolling, things went south fast, however. Frankel didn’t overtly get into the reason why, but alluded to financial skirmishes.
"I think that fame and attention and money does not bring out the best in everybody," she told Cohen. "Money in many ways is the root of all evil."
Frankel says that she has moved on, and is happy and dating again, even though she remains legally married to her spouse and battling him in court.
"Marriage is like the Hotel California," she quipped.
"You can check out but you can never leave."
