Reality TV star turned daytime talk show host Bethenny Frankel darted out of court today in a huff after studiously avoiding eye contact with her estranged hubby Jason Hoppy during a divorce proceeding.
The couple briefly met with matrimonial judge Ellen Gesmer in private in her chambers, before ceding negotiations to their high-powered attorneys. They are fighting about custody of their 3-year-old girl Bryn.
Hoppy, 40, had his head in his iPad during the three hours they were in Manhattan Supreme Court while Frankel, 42, snapped the pages of a newspaper and stared into her phone.
When their counsel returned from the behind-closed-doors confab, Hoppy seemed happy nodding in agreement with his attorney, Eleanor Alter’s report.
But Frankel, the former “Real Houswives of New York” star, dressed in black patent leather stilettos and a midmarket black Zara blazer, reacted to the news from lawyer Allan Mayefsky with irritation, flipping her hair and frowning.
Both sides declined to comment on their divorce while leaving the courthouse.
“What are you doing? Why are you following me?” was all the drama mama would say to the press.
Eight months since Frankel filed for divorce her pharmaceutical exec spouse is still wearing his wedding ring.
When a Post reporter asked about the ring, he batted away the question and tried to hide his left hand from a photographer.
