Betheny Frankel Divorce: "Closed For Business," Ranks Sex Far Below Exercise After Painful Split With Jason Hoppy

Bethenny Frankel dished on her divorce with Jason Hoppy.

Bethenny Frankel is getting ready for the Sept. 9 premiere of her new talk show, 'Bethenny'...and she discussed her dramatic divorce.

Bethenny Frankel is no longer a "Housweife"-or a real-life wife. And she's not interested in becoming one anytime soon.

"Right now, I'm closed for business. Really closed," said Bethenny.

"I'm a person who only likes to have sex with someone I'm really into. And I'm not remotely in a place where I want to be in a relationship," she says. "I am not ready to meet someone."

Bethenny just wants to hang out with her gal pals, she said, rather than be in a romantic relationship.

"These days it's important to get together with my girlfriends. It's important to be with other women, not isolating," Bethenny said.

She's certainly not into having sex these days. Which, uh, makes sense, as sex (#8) ranked below exercise (#3) in her new book, "Skinnygirl Solutions".

Bethenny Frankel's priorities are... interesting.

"If I were involved with someone, sex would probably be No. 1," Frankel laughs. "Or I could combine it with No. 3 for sexercise."

However, Bethenny says she feels good about the show and more resilient, following her dramatic divorce from businessman Jason Hoppy and the bitter custody fight over their 3-year-old daughter, Bryn.

"Now I believe that women are resilient and everything you go through is part of your texture."

"Nothing is as terrible in reality as it feels. The way you approach things is as important as what is actually happening," Frankel said.

And, she says, she feels her talk show is a major success, and more of a priority than relationships.

"It's true; I've had four best-selling books, but it's the talk show that makes me feel like a success," says Frankel. "It's just such a gratifying, tangible result when women come up to you and tell you that you've changed their lives. I get that from the talk show."
