EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Bethenny Frankel Is 'Skating On Ice' to 'One-Up Rival Jill Zarin'
Posted on Nov 09, 2010 @ 05:45AM
Bethenny Frankel's new television adventure Skating With The Stars is nothing more than attempt to get back at her one-time pal Jill Zarin, her estranged mom told RadarOnline.com.
Bernadette Burke, who hasn't spoken to the star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City and Bethenny Getting Married? in more than a decade, said her daughter's slippery TV role was typical of the woman she raised -- a desperate attempt to further her career.

"As soon as I saw that she was going to be on Skating with the Stars I just knew she had an ulterior motive," Burke told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
"It is for fame and the to one up Jill Zarin.
"I've watched only three episodes of the show and in one Jill Zarin was so proud of her skating and even had a party.
"As soon as I saw Bethenny was skating, I knew she had another reason than just having fun."

"She is going to be a dead ringer out there because she's had so many private ice skating and roller skating lessons. She did it all the time when she was a child."
Burke said Bethenny loved it so much, rollerblading became a means of transportation.
She explained she even rollerbladed right onto the plane on her way to France when she was in college.
Said Burke: "Knowing Bethenny, as soon as they offered it to her she immediately began training. She has to be the very best."

Despite Burke's claims about rival Zarin, it seems the New York housewife is letting it all slide.
She Tweeted: "Congrats to @Bethenny for skating with stars. If anyone can do it you can!"

What a horrid mother. No wonder Bethenny doesn't like her. The woman has no life.

Interesting how this Mother speaks out now!
What's the dollar amount?
.
Being a Mother, you want the best for your children.
This is the best Ut Oh Mothers Day.
Woman get help or just stay away from Bethenny. You are a fool!

Bethenny plays the victim whenever she can. I'm sure she'll drag her dead father's name through the mud once again in order to gain sympathy votes.

Say what you will about Bethenny's mom, but that doesn't mean what she's saying isn't true. I believe it is. Bethenny is a fame wh*re extraordinaire.

I am glad I am not the only one, with a witch for a mother. This woman should be ashamed of herself.

Funny, I thought the same thing. As for her mother's comments, she did raise her for many years and would know her better than anyone. Nobody gets you as well as your mother, estranged or not.

Bethenny's mom is proving to be even WORSE than Bethenny described. She is SELLING $$$ nasty stories about her daughter to make money$$$. Bethenny is doing the show to earn a living for her daughter. Bethenny's mom married rich men to live.

Did you hear, Jill is trying to adopt her as her Mother!
Jill believes no one undstands her like Bethennys Mother. (The devil is laughing reading this).
Jill is happy for today.
So, HAPPY that Bethenny Lives Her Life!

Gee, and Bethenny's "mother" wonders why Bethenny wants nothing to do with her and doesn't want her around her child? Bernadette is nothing more than a spiteful witch, she and Jill make a lovely pair!

So what if she's doing the show to help her career, isn't that the point?
