Bethenny Frankel Refuses $10 Million Divorce Settlement

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Bethenny Frankel has refused to pay her ex-husband Jason Hoppy $10 million in order to settle their divorce.

The TV personality has turned down the opportunity to end her bitter legal battle, which has been going on 15 months, by paying out the lump sum to her former lover. "Jason is willing to take a $10 million settlement in the divorce from Bethenny," a source said.

The 43-year-old former host, who is believed to be worth between $25 million to $50 million, sold her Skinnygirl Cocktails company in 2011 for a reported $100 million and Jason claims he's entitled to some of the money as he helped her build up the company in the first place. "[Jason] feels entitled to that large amount because he helped her to launch Skinnygirl. She sought his advice and counsel on the cocktail line from the beginning and up until the sale," an insider said.

As well as fighting over the money that was made during their two-year-old marriage, the couple are also battling it out for custody of their three-year-old daughter Bryn. It is believed Jason is now happy with joint custody, while Bethenny is pushing for full custody with the sales executive being allowed visitation.

How would an etiquette expert deal with an extramarital affair? Let’s ask The Real Housewives of New York City‘s resident countess.

Although she was full of dating advice for costar Bethenny Frankel (you can eavesdrop on that conversation after the jump), it turns out LuAnn de Lesseps was having her own relationship problems back at home.

According to the New York Post, LuAnn recently discovered that her husband of 16 years, Count Alexandre de Lesseps, had been seeing another woman. Alexandre reportedly confirmed his cheating ways to his (fourth) wife in a less than proper manner. “They decided to separate. She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her,” a friend claimed.
