Bethenny Frankel’s Mom Blasts Reunion Tale “I Have No Feelings For Her At All”
Real Housewives of New York star, Bethenny Frankel, made headlines last week after revealing she reached out to her estranged mother after 15 years.
On last week’s airing of B Real with Bethenny, her weekly SiriusXM radio show, the reality TV mogul cried as she described the reunion as “not an excruciating.”
However, Frankel’s mother, Bernadette Birk, is telling a different version of events and blasting her daughter!
“I don’t think she really reached out, her daughter [Bryn] asked about me. She didn’t reach out; the daughter did,” Birk told Radar Online.
“Well, I just said hello. I don’t know the child. I’ve never seen her, so it was very short little conversation. I asked her about her school and her age and just simple little questions,” Birk recalled of the conversation with Bryn, 6. “I didn’t really speak to the mother that much.”
Bernadette feels the conversation felt “very out of the ordinary,” and blames her daughter’s negative remarks about her in the past.
“I really had no feelings at all,” the Bravo star’s mom told Radar. “I buried that with her comments many years ago. It took me a long time to get over those lies and I have no feelings for her at all.”
In previous years, Bethenny made outrageous claims about her mother and how she was raised, “I never had a true childhood. There was a lot of destruction: alcohol abuse, eating disorders and violent fights …”
The 65-year old mom continues:
“I don’t even know where she got my number. I don’t have hers. She didn’t leave a number and quite honestly, I didn’t think to ask for it,” Birk continued.
Bethenny‘s mom claims arrangements for a visit from her daughter and granddaughter have not been confirmed; but she’s open to the idea to finally meet her granddaughter — even if it means seeing her daughter too.
“That would be nice,” she said. “As far as Bethenny, I don’t know how I would leave her out of the equation.”
