Bethenny Frankel: I Need ZERO Contact with Jason Hoppy!
We may have seen Bethenny Frankel break down in tears in the latest Real Housewives of New York City, but she knows that there’s a way that she can move forward.
We’ve all heard about how Jason Hoppy has put Bethenny Frankel in hell through all of his alleged stalking and harassment and their nightmarish divorce battle.
Bethenny says that she knows how this has to end.
So, Bethenny Frankel’s divorce from Jason Hoppy was long, painful, and nightmarishly expensive.
They may be exes now, but they’ll always be linked through their young daughter, Bryn.
Jason Hoppy’s arrest back in January was actually over threats that he’s accused of making to Bethenny Frankel at Bryn’s school.
(Imagine threatening the mother of your child at your child’s school — that’s so unimaginably hateful)
Jason Hoppy was arraigned on additional stalking charges over the summer, before that first arrest was even dealt with in court.
The details weren’t immediately made apparent, but it appears that he may have been harassing a third party as part of his alleged campaign of harassment against Bethenny.
Like … does he not have hobbies?
Don’t get us wrong — Bethenny Frankel can come across as callous and dismissive of other people’s problems sometimes.
(A lot, actually)
But there’s a difference between having what some might call an “abrasive” personality and being an actual menace.
Jason Hoppy is due back in court in September (his motion to have the charges against him was dismissed earlier this month), and maybe Bethenny will get some sort of resolution then.
Bethenny Frankel lamented to Andy Cohen how her conflict with Jason Hoppy has impacted her relationship with other Real Housewives.
But she knows what can resolve this and put it behind her.
“Any resolution is legally mandated and I’m fine with that.”
She’s putting a lot of faith in the court.
“I don’t care what happens, I have faith that somehow I will be able to live a normal free life.”
Basically, she’s not campaigning to have Jason Hoppy put in prison. But there’s just one thing that she needs.
“But it has to be with zero contact. Because with any contact, this will not end.”
She says that she can’t accurately describe what this has been like for her.
She does temporarily lapse into some unfortunate hyperbole.
“It is indescribable and it is inexplicable and it’s like, if someone wants to talk about like a war zone in Israel, how are you going to explain that to someone?”
But she quickly clarifies that she’s not trying to equate her situation with a genuine humanitarian crisis.
“I’m not comparing this to actual war but in my life, you can’t even imagine the torment that this has been. There’s no way to describe it.”
We get it — trauma is difficult to articulate. When you try, you feel like you sound silly. It’s not silly, though.
“I just stifled it in because if I let any of it out, I’m going to totally break down. I can’t believe this happened to me.”
Keeping it suppressed doesn’t work, in the long term. While things are going on, bottling things up helps you survive.
Over time, though, those coping mechanisms backfire. That’s why PTSD is so rough.
And yes, you can absolutely get PTSD from stalking.
Bethenny found the entire struggle to be inescapable.
“It was part of my life. I thought I was never getting out of it. I couldn’t even understand it. How can I explain this to everybody?”
We know that she’s doing charity work to help other women, but we wonder if she’s met with a victim advocate to try to just articulate her own situation.
Bethenny isn’t really the “ask for help’ type, but it really might help her.
“You’ve never — it is torture. So that’s why I didn’t explain it. There’s no way to describe this to anybody. Nobody would believe it.”
Jason Hoppy might not be done tormenting her, though, because he didn’t immediately accept a plea deal that would have basically gotten him off scott free.
We have to ask why he’s so obsessed with having contact with Bethenny that he would apparently rather continue his court battle than continue to be legally barred from having contact with her.
Maybe he doesn’t want it on his record or claims that he’s innocent — though an officer was a witness to and confirmed Bethenny Frankel’s account of the January incident at Bryn’s school, so … good luck with that?
More than anything else, we hope that this situation doesn’t hurt Bryn.

Taylor Swift Posts Creepy, Silent Teaser Video with Zero Explanation
Remember when Taylor Swift purged her social media accounts, wiping out every post and every photo? Her big "Blank Space" event of 2017.
Well she"s back, uploading the same post to Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Instagram — with no words and no audio. Just a short, silent video.
Of a snake.
Okay, so, we all remember how, after enjoying two years at the very top of the celebrity food chain, Taylor Swift was betrayed in 2016.
Overexposure from being adored so strongly for her 1989 album had large portions of the population primed to turn on Taylor over pretty much anything.
They got two excuses:
First, following their breakup Calvin Harris ranted about Taylor on Twitter.
Smelling blood in the water, Kim Kardashian struck.
Months earlier, Kim Kardashian had secretly recorded a phone conversation between Kanye West and Taylor Swift.
Carefully judging her timing, Kim released a series of Snapchat videos of that call, which — though we don"t get the full conversation — made it appear that Taylor Swift had been fully aware of Kanye"s hurtful lyrics about her.
People who resented Taylor Swift but had been holding their silence for ages took to Twitter, and that hateful "Taylor Swift Is Over Party" was born.
And Taylor"s detractors celebrated by referring to Taylor as a "snake" and by posting snake emojis as comments on her social media.
Classy, guys.
But it"s impossible to look at Taylor"s teaser video, of a snake"s tail, and not think of those emojis.
As Taylor certainly was.
Throughout that entire shameful affair in 2016 and through Taylor"s remaining largely quiet on social media since then, we"ve been eagerly anticipating what sort of music Taylor would write about her experience.
It looks like we"re going to get to hear it at last, and before too long.
There"s no telling if this video is leading up to a single or an album or both. Taylor hasn"t actually said anything yet.
But we think that it"s safe to say that Taylor Swift posting a snake"s tail video isn"t a preview of a wildlife documentary she"s been working on.
We have to note that releasing a teaser that"s so minor and enigmatic is such a power move and we are here for it.
Honestly, we"re having so much fun imagining possible names and titles for albums and songs.
Serpentine?
Ouroboros? That"s the snake devouring its own tail, a metaphor for basically everything.
Lamia? That"s a half-human, half-snake who devours young men. That would be perfect for Taylor, in the vein of "Blank Space."
Gorgon? Snakes for hair might be a little on-the-nose, but it would be a great metaphor for media attention (gaze turning folks to stone and all that).
Apep? That"s the serpentine demon of the night who battles the Sun God Re to bring about eternal darkness.
Venom? Straight and to the point.
We saw the snake"s tail without the snake"s head, so we"re not predicting a song called "Amphisbaena" just yet — though that"s a two-headed snake.
Obviously, Taylor isn"t going to let us name her album or the tracks on it.
If she did, though, we"d name that album "Lamia."
We think (and hope) that enough time has passed that Taylor can come back into the spotlight after being essentially absent for so long.
Taylor Swift won her countersuit against the man she accused of sexually assaulting her.
It"s only been, what, a week since that victory, and she"s already teasing her new music.
It looks to us like Taylor was just waiting to put her legal battle behind her before she moved forward with new music.
1989 was one of the best albums that we"ve heard in our lives, so we really cannot wait to hear what she"ll come out with next.
