'RHONY' Star Bethenny Frankel Weighs In On 'RHONJ' Stars Teresa And Joe Giudice's Sentencing While Promoting 'Skinnygirl Cocktails'

Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel has a lot to say when it comes to talking about Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice's upcoming prison sentence. During her recent stop by Extra to promote her new book, Skinnygirl Cocktails, Bethenny discussed her thoughts on the infamous sentencing that has taken the headlines by storm.

"[It's] terrible. The one thing I really think about is being away from her daughters for any period of time," Bethenny said.

She two has a daughter, 4-year-old Bryn, with her ex-hubby Jason Hoppy.

Bethenny added, "I feel for her because it's time away from her daughters, but they will become stronger as a family. Maybe by it all stopping now and [them] having a real-life lesson, it'll make them stronger, and they'll avoid other heartache later."

MStars News previosly reported that Teresa will be serving 15 months behind bars, starting in January, as her husband, Joe will serves 41 months right after.

Bethenny also talked about dating and how it has been so far.

"It's good, because it doesn't have a tremendous amount of pressure," Bethenny said. "I have a daughter. I don't need to get married, and I'm financially secure. So to date is just to date and that could be fun. That is fun ... I'm in a good place."

The author and cocktail queen recently revealed that she'll return to the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City, saying, "It just feels fresh and new, which is kind of representative of where I am in my personal life, which feels fresh and new."
