Bethenny Frankel has admitted that reality TV isn't always real while testifying during a nasty custody battle with her ex-husband.
The Real Housewives of New York City star, 48, is fighting Jason Hoppy for sole custody of their nine-year-old daughter Bryn.
After the pair split in 2012, Frankel began dating Dennis Shields, going public in 2016. He passed away from a suspected drug overdose in August last year.
Hoppy's lawyer Robert Wallack has suggested that Frankel's relationship with Shields was bad for their daughter, reports People.
Frankel has claimed she did not know Shields died of an opioid overdose, but Wallack used an episode of the show to dispute her claim.
