Is this shocking? Life & Style is running a story about RHONY’s Bethenny Frankel, and how she had a “secret” first marriage. True, I did think she was had never been married before her current husband Jason Hoppy. So I was slightly surprised, but mostly I feel like Bethenny got a raw deal by those who said she was not a “housewife” enough to be cast on the show. She had already been married and divorced, so there. Suck on that, H8ERS. Eh.
When Bethenny Frankel married Jason Hoppy in March, it turns out it was actually her second wedding. Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the Real Housewives of New York City star wed her former best friend Peter Sussman in 1996 — but the marriage fell apart after just eight months. Now, Bethenny opens up to Life & Style about her past with first husband, Peter.
“We were best friends for five years, and he always wanted to be more,” says the natural-foods chef, who eventually accepted Peter’s persistent advances. The pair dated for two years before saying “I do.”
Sadly, Bethenny realized that the relationship made her feel secure but was totally lacking in passion. “I felt like, ‘This is really it? This is the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with?’” she says. “You can’t go to bed with a piece of 8-by-10 paper.”
Now older and wiser, the self-made and independent Bethenny knows she wed Peter for the wrong reasons.
“I loved him because of how much he loved me,” she tells Life & Style. “I got married too young. I didn’t wait for the great love of my life.”

Jeez, way to make your sound really exciting. If they divorced under pleasant circumstances, why go out of your way to make your ex sound so horrible, and SO obsessed with you? Oh, right. It’s Bethenny!
In other Bethenny news, she gave another exclusive to Us Weekly a few days ago, this one about how she’s back to a size 4 after giving birth just three weeks ago. But Bethenny claims that she didn’t get back her shape by dieting! She said: “I don’t believe in diets. I’m still wearing maternity clothes, because they’re comfortable. I”m excited to get into my Louboutins again. No more swollen feet.” Then, blah, blah, she did yoga while pregnant and she’s already back to walking and doing her vegetarian diet. To see her in her bathing suit, go here.
That top picture really makes her look like a clown, sorry….
Do we go out in public with rollers in our hair?
It wasn’t that secret b/c she mentions on the show a few times during all seasons. I guess its a secret to anyone that does not pay attention to the words coming out people mouths.
The roller in her her was prior to her wedding. she was still setting her hair.
Her face!!!!!!!!!!!! arrgghhhh!!!!!!! The face and then the boobs- the plastic is just outta control.
I like Bethenny. She’s funny, snarky and straight forward. Any smack she talks behind your back she’ll repeat to your face. She says she’ sorry when she messes up. She’s a hard worker and one of those people you feel understand what she has and will work to maintain it.
ahhh…come on, give beth a break.
she’s like a grown-up lucy from the peanuts gang.
🙂
@kelbear..She looks like the freaking Joker, and I mean the Jack Nicholson one.
I saw the first picture and thought damn! She looks just like H.R. Pufnstuf.
Looks like she has been storing plenty of nuts away for the winter in those cheeks!
She is one of the most physically vile creatures I’ve ever seen. She looks like a piece of leather with a shrunken animal head. She has GOT to be bulimic with those cheeks. Right??
I love Bethenny so everyone can suck it (if you are against me). she is a woman with lines and so are you!!!
My lord, those photos are not really her friends, are they. She is not a nice looking woman. Looks much older than her 39 yrs.
What happened to her face in pic #1? Personally, I don’t think she eats but only drinks liquid lunches of skinny martinis. All of those NYC wives are lushes.
Meh. I don’t think that’s so scandalous.
As long as she doesn’t say, “He liked it so much, he put a ring on it” again, I’ll still like her.
this is one of the ugliest faces I’ve ever seen…
Her first marriage wasn’t a secret at all. She discussed the marriage in Season One. Ger wedding picture was shown in the Bravo show also.
It was no secret if you watch the show.
Don’t base her looks soley on these photos – she cleans up well, has a smokin’ body in a two-piece and can really bring it if the occasion calls.
She has her faults and can be a bit rough around the edges sometimes (we NY women have to remember to tone it down a bit) but it’s combined with a wicked take on life and frankly (no pun) I’ll miss her on RHONY.
NOT A PRETTY WOMAN!!! SO PLASTIC AND SCARY LOOKING!!!
It looks like when she gained weight, via her pregnancy, her jaw seems to grow. hmmm…..
I guess I had a secret first marriage too, since I don’t go around showing wedding photos of myself and my ex or talking about him all the time. Because I hate him. But whatever. Shut up, Life & Style.
I am pretty torqued that she just had a baby and is back to a size four. I haven’t decided if I will forgive her for that. It’s pretty heinous of her.
She doesn’t believe in diets-she’s a puker. Look at her cheeks. Binge and purge…. I’ve also heard rumors of laxative abuse.
@Smith- I watch the show and I have never found her the least bit attractive. Her body is only smokin because she has had lipo and a boob job. Most people can have that if they have the money for it.
I really try not to put other womens looks down but geesh she is ugly. Like really ugly.
For the negative comments about her 1st pic: she’s freaking pregnant in it!!! Newsflash: Carrying another human being in your gut for 9 months affects your face & bodies!
I love Bethenny! She brings intelligence, wit and sass to what would otherwise be a boring, dumb as hell, petty show. Goooooo B!
double bagger
Unless she was carrying the baby in her freakishly bulbous head, I don’t think being pregnant is an excuse for that. Her face is odd.
And there is NO WAY she is 39. Please.
Eck!! Between her and Danielle from NJ I can’t tell who is uglier and looks MORE like the Grinch from Dr. Suess!!
There is NOOOO way this chick is 39!
She looks like an old, overstretched crinkly white raisin.
I dont think it’s the case of bulimia, it’s just her natural jaw structure makes her face shape angular.
OMG This women is UGLY her jaw looks like it’s on steroids.
She has the oddest shaped head!
I like Bethenny, I guess….. but she really is not pretty, is she? I mean from the neck up. Hardly any of the Real Housewives (from ANYWHERE) are good looking…. I’m broke but I’m cute. (And I’m only broke because I PAY my BILLS.)
God damn. That bitch is ugly…
Oh this girl just bothers me to no avail. She is how old 40 and has had more surgeries than Joan Rivers. Her breasts and cheek implants are hideous and she starves herslef for her Skinyn Girl image which is horrendous role model for women. She looks like a plastic joker doll =(
really? you people think she looks older than 39? i think she looks like someone who doesn’t filler/botox the shit out of their face. and yes, when she puts on weight, it goes to her face. during her pregnancy she tweeted often about how swollen her face is– give the woman a break.
She kinda looks like Fozzy Bear, yeah?
if paula abdul and the joker had a kid…
Just gonna support and reiterate what Erin said — SO SPOT ON…
She is one of the most physically vile creatures I’ve ever seen. She looks like a piece of leather with a shrunken animal head. She has GOT to be bulimic with those cheeks. Right??
For the life of me, I don’t believe this tranny looking moron is 40 years old. She looks like she is way over 50. I can’t stand this piece of stupid shit. She is lucky she has Bravo is on her side — for now anyway. That too won’t last long.
That bitch looks like a dude with his balls in his mouth!! Arggggggh
What is the deal with this lady, she is sooo MEAN. How did she get her own show, she thinks she is so funny and witty but all she is, is a media whore!!
so funny how everyones comments are mostly about her face lol… And not about how much they hate her which means they must really think she’s ugly lol. But nyway with that said I do think her jaw is really weirdly huge, her marriage will probly fail( although I’m hoping it doesn’t) and I really don’t like her personality the way she tears people down.., but for the most part she is funny!! Which they do say comedy comes from people with insecurities!
I have to agree with Mayna, I dont’ see much hope for this marriage. Jason and his family seem so down-to-earth and normal; whereas Bethany is quite uptight and way too into her business ventures. I think her attitude and behavior will get old quick for Jason and his family.

June 9th, 2010 at 2:15 pm That top picture really makes her look like a clown, sorry….
I was thinking ventriloquist’s dummy or marionette.
I AM SO SORRY BUT THIS WOMAN IS REALLY REALLY HIDEOUS. OMG! SHE HAS ONE OF THE UGLIEST FACES I HAVE EVER SEEN! but on the other hand, she has a great personality and is relatable…I don’t pay too much attention to her but I SINCERELY hope her personality makes up for her butt ass ugly face. It borders on cartoonish
Hey – I’m speaking to entire site owners to find out if they’ve heard every little thing concerning the enormous website website engine modification that’s inside the works? With WP releasing three fairly quickly, the phrase on the street is that BE is planning to make a whole bunch of variations that look like WP alterations. Shoot me an e-mail at quickly as you understand whatever.
Bethany does in fact look like she is hiding walnuts in her jaw line. I do not understand why she did this to herself. It looks so super hero like. She scares me now!I would have a heart attack if my jaw came out like that after surgery! When she was pregnant it was even more pronounced!
Betheny is so god damn ugly is lost my appetite as I started eat with her tv show on. What a pig.
Why does she have a show????
How did this greasy black haired troll monster have such a cute blind blue eyed baby?
Correction: cute blond blue eyed baby
There is NO WAY she is only 40. She must be at the very very least 49ish. She simply must be lying about her age… If she is 40, she looks horrid, wrinkled, weird and very old. I wouldn’t want to celebrate a birthday I was clearly lying about either.
She cracks me up. This summer when I was trying to get pregnant I was looking everywhere for older moms, trying to get some reassurance that women older than me could still get pregnant. I saw a picture of Bethany Frankel and thought – wow, she can get pregnant at her age! And I looked her up on wikipedia and found out she’s actually 2 months younger than me. She just looks 5 years older because she diets all the time. So I laughed and went and ate a cupcake. And got pregnant in September, a week after I turned 41.
I don’t think she’s had bad surgery, more like bad genes. You ever take a gander at what her mother looks like?!?!? Once you see what her parents look like you’ll understand why she looks the way she does…2 people who’s genetic material shouldn’t have mixed :s
