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 theres a way that she can move forward.

Weve 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 Frankels divorce from Jason Hoppy was long, painful, and nightmarishly expensive. They may be exes now, but theyll always be linked through their young daughter, Bryn.

Jason Hoppys arrest back in January was actually over threats that hes accused of making to Bethenny Frankel at Bryns school. (Imagine threatening the mother of your child at your childs school -- thats 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 werent 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?.

Dont get us wrong -- Bethenny Frankel can come across as callous and dismissive of other peoples problems sometimes. But theres 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. Shes 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, shes not campaigning to have Jason Hoppy put in prison. But theres 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 cant 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 shes 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. Its 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 doesnt work, in the long term. While things are going on, bottling things up helps you survive. Over time, though, those coping mechanisms backfire. Thats 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 shes doing charity work to help other women, but we wonder if shes met with a victim advocate to try to just articulate her own situation.

Bethenny isnt 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 didnt immediately accept a plea deal that would have basically gotten him off scott free.

We have to ask why hes 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 doesnt want it on his record or claims that hes innocent -- though an officer was a witness to and confirmed Bethenny Frankels account of the January incident at Bryns school, so. good luck with that?.

More than anything else, we hope that this situation doesnt hurt Bryn.
