Bethenny Frankel Jason Hoppy Divorce Addressed in First Minute of Talk Show Debut [VIDEO], 'I Don't Know If I'd Remarry'
Bethenny Frankel said no topics would be off limits during her new talk show -- and within the first 20 seconds, she addresses her divorce.
In a new released clip of Frankel's debut show, airing Sept. 9 of FOX, the host brings up her "bittersweet" year.
"So I was saying this isn’t about me, it’s about you and I want to go through this together. This is the moment, this is it. I am experiencing it with you. This is us together. I just want to say one thing, it’s been a very bittersweet year," Frankel tells her audience in the clip, referring to her divorce from Jason Hoppy.
The host continues: "I am the luckiest girl in the world to have this amazing opportunity and this platform to have this conversation. I have been going through a really difficult divorce as many of you can probably relate to and you helped get me through it and the show will hopefully help me help other women because I am sure you are going through things ten times as difficult and I am so excited to be here, this is the moment."

Frankel and Hoppy married in 2010 while Frankel was pregnant with their daughter Bryn. Their wedding, and planning leading up to it, was aired on the Bravo spin-off series Bethenny Getting Married.
The former Real Housewives of New York star filed for divorce in January 2013. Hoppy is currently seeking child support and primary custody of their daughter.
Frankel spoke about her divorce earlier this year, calling her marriage a "mistake."
"Because of Bryn, I can never say, 'I wish this had never happened,'" she explained. "I have a beautiful child who I love so much, who is a part of both of us. In my marriage, I made a mistake. It is what it is. I made the wrong choice. But I do have my daughter, who is so beautiful and amazing in every way."
Frankel told October's Redbook, "I don't know that I would get remarried. It's too soon to think about it."
She adds, "But I'd listen to my gut. All through reality television, being honest, saying what's on my mind—that's my gut."
