‘Real Housewives Of NYC’ Star Bethenny Frankel Starving Herself After Dennis Shields’ Death?

Following the death of Bethenny Frankel’s ex-boyfriend, Dennis Shields, a new report is suggesting the “Real Housewives of New York City” star is refusing to eat.

When Shields died in August, Frankel reflected on the life of her former lover on social media and has since shared several fond memories of her time with the businessman with her fans on Twitter and Instagram.

However, Star published an article alleging the Bravo star is so devastated from Shields’ death that she can’t bring herself to eat. “She has no appetite. Food doesn’t appeal to her. She’s depressed and grieving,” a supposed source told the tabloid.

The alleged source implied that Frankel is well aware of her drastic weight loss but continues a diet consisting of “packet of nuts, stalks of celery and hot lemon water.”

The “insider” went on to suggest Frankel’s lack of eating is due to the guilt she feels from not be able to help Shields prior to his suspected overdose. “Her friends are worried because she’s getting scrawnier by the day.”

However, a Frankel source told Gossip Cop she is “so happy” in her new relationship and “loves to eat.” The fact-checking website also noted that Frankel began dating rumored Paul Bernon two months after Shields’ death and appears to have maintained the same weight.

Furthermore, since October, the “Real Housewives of New York City” star has been photographed happily kissing the real estate developer in numerous locations.

While Frankel has previously admitted she was hurt by Shields’ death, she has not been refusing to eat since his passing.
