Bethenny Frankel, 53, announces hiatus from podcast 'to grieve' after her ... trends now
Bethenny Frankel announced she is taking a break from her divorce podcast to grieve her mother's death.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 53, shared a statement via Instagram to share that she is taking the time and space to process the loss of her mother Bernadette Birk.
After taking down all episodes she has released in the past month since starting her iHeart Radio podcast Just B Divorced with Bethenny Frankel, she said she will 'temporarily' stop uploading episodes — where she candidly opened up about her 'traumatic' 10-year divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy.
She did not share a specific date of when she will return but said she will 'continue this dialogue' sometime 'in the coming weeks.'
She announced that her mother — with whom she had a complicated relationship and was previously estranged for over a decade — passed away at age 73 last Friday following a battle with lung cancer.

'I have chosen to temporarily remove my divorce podcast as a result of an overwhelming response and an influx of messages that have converged with the most significant loss of my life,' she wrote over a plain background on her Instagram Story.
'It's impossible for me to grieve and process both of these traumatic events at the same time.'
'The unforeseen circumstances and the reaction to this triggering topic has confirmed how important this conversation is,' she continued.
'In the coming weeks, we will continue this dialogue to help you navigate your challenging divorce journeys.'
