The couple has a 4-year-old daughter. They are fighting tooth and nail to get their own preferred child custody arrangement. The attacks are personal. She says that he has threatened to destroy her and has called her garbage. She reports him saying that they were going to go to war and that he would ruin her.
She admits that she lost her cool and called him white trash. She also accused him of caring only about money.
Frankel is also accusing him of wrecking the child’s vegetarian diet by feeding her fried chicken, bacon and hot dogs. She claims that the man would force the child to prematurely say bye to her mother on Skype chats.
Because their divorce is such a public spectacle, Frankel told the justice that she didn’t want to make it harder for her child than what it needed to be. She reportedly also told her estranged husband that they could be friends because she knows he is angry at the situation.
