#RHONY Jason Hoppy’s Motion to Dismiss Harassment and Stalking Charges Denied!
On August 8, Bethenny Frankel’s ex-husband Jason Hoppy’s, motion to dismiss stalking charges against his ex wife was heard in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The judge denied his request and the case is headed to trial on September 27.
The prosecutor offered Bethenny’s ex an “adjournment in contemplation of dismissal” plea deal — which would essentially adjourn the charges without incident. The deal stipulates that as long as Hoppy adheres to the existing restraining order issued in January with no incidents within the year.
Hoppy, 46, was arrested on Jan. 27 after The Real Housewives of New York star accused Hoppy of tormenting the reality star with dozens of disturbing texts and emails, and shouting “I will destroy you” outside of their 6-year-old daughter’s grade school.
The couple split in 2012, after two years of marriage. Prosecutors say that Hoppy hammered Bethenny with over 160 unwanted messages over the course of several months, beginning directly after their lengthy divorce was finalized in July 2016. Hoppy rejected a plea deal, in March.
After the incident, Bethenny went to the police precinct to file a report with her lawyer and a few friends. The source revealed Bethenny was a “C-lister” who was out for “revenge.”
“She was making more out of this than it was, that was the overall impression. She’s been involved in a terrible divorce with this guy. And it seemed to us that she was filing the report because she wanted to take revenge on him, get back at him for something he did connected to the divorce. This is common among celebrity types – even C-listers like her – when they’re involved in a bad divorce,” the police source said.
Bethenny has detailed snippets of her divorce story on the Bravo hit — and has likened it to a personal hell.
