Bethenny Frankel attends Dennis’ funeral: Fans have mixed reactions

Bethenny Frankel attends Dennis Shields’ funeral. Fans have mixed reactions, as his estranged wife and kids were also present.

Bethenny Frankel was heartbroken when she learned that Dennis Shields had suddenly passed away on Friday morning. She learned the news as the story started to spread online. Just hours before, she had been sharing updates about a juice she had been drinking and things appeared to be a regular Friday morning. Dennis had accidentally overdosed on prescription painkillers, as he had struggled with back pain.

Then, yesterday, photos surfaced of Bethenny Frankel attending his funeral in Long Island, New York. It makes sense that she would be there, as they had known each other for 30 years and they had been dating on and off for about four years. The Real Housewives of New York star showed up wearing black and she appeared to be calm. But fans had mixed reactions to her showing up at the funeral, especially since she was there with his family members. Dennis’ estranged wife Jill was there with their children.

It should be mentioned that Jill has moved on from her failed marriage and has been dating another man. It’s uncertain whether he was there, but some fans believe that Bethenny was causing trouble in their relationship. On Jill’s Instagram, it’s clear to see that she had moved on with her life. It makes sense that Bethenny was there to say her goodbyes, especially since they had been dating.

The funeral was a rather personal matter, so Bethenny Frankel didn’t film anything for Bravo or The Real Housewives of New York. These days, she’s staying at home in the Hamptons, coping with the loss.
