Bethenny Frankel is convinced that her soon-to-be ex-husband Jason Hoppy is so hell bent on exacting revenge for their split that he is leaking negative stories about her in an effort to tank her upcoming talk show, RadarOnline.com has been told.
"Bethenny believes that the latest round of negative stories about originate with Jason," an insider told Radar.
"She thinks that Jason prepared to do anything he can to make sure that her new talk show is a massive failure. A few weeks ago, Bethenny tried to film a segment in their apartment and it erupted into another fight."
The former Real Housewife has also ordered her lawyers to address this with the judge overseeing their contentious divorce, we're told.
In recent weeks, Hoppy has accused Frankel of calling him "trash" in front of their daughter, Bryn, who is three years of age.
The epic argument occurred after a recent court date for the couple, who have been unable to reach a financial and custody agreement.
