Bethenny Frankel Opens Up About PTSD From Lengthy Divorce Battle

Frankel diagnosed with PTSD due to her divorce and custody battle.

Bethenny Frankel recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of her tumultuous divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy and their prolonged custody battle over their daughter Bryn. The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star described her 10-year divorce as more torturous than grieving the death of a loved one, stating that it was the most traumatizing experience she has ever endured.

Frankel expressed that she felt suffocated and powerless during the divorce proceedings, referring to it as mental and emotional torture. She disclosed that she faced various challenges over the years, including fraud, forgery, multiple custody trials, being followed, and alleged hacking incidents. Despite not experiencing physical abuse, she emphasized that she had been through a war and had questioned herself as a human and a parent.
