It's Not Just Poppy Hoppy! Bethenny's Chilly Behavior Off-Putting To Staff, Audience, Guests On Talk Show Set

It's no secret Bethenny Frankel's been stressed by her ongoing split with estranged husband Jason Hoppy, but it seems as if the bad vibes are trickling down to the place she can least afford drama: the set of her struggling talk show.
Insiders tell the NY Post the former Real Housewives of New York star has behaved so frigid during tapings of the show, that guests, staffers and audience members have commented on the change in personality when the cameras are turned off.
One said the Skinnygirl stunner acts “cold and only walks in when she has to tape and walks out,” while another said guests have informed producers they didn't appreciate her demeanor. Workers on the ratings-starved gabfest, sources say, have groused of her detachment from her own vehicle, noting that the beauty “isn’t around for the producing and planning of the shows.”
A separate source told the paper that audience members have given “overwhelmingly positive feedback on a daily basis,” while her publicist insists she's involved in all aspects of the show.
