Bethenny Frankel's divorce has definitely aged the talk show host. Bethenny looks skinny, wrinkly, and her eyes look more sunk in since her painful divorce from Jason Hoppy.  Her before picture from 2010 looks exquisite compared to her after photo from this year.

Her divorce isn't the only thing stressing out the SkinnyGirl Mogul. Frankel is dealing with a small child, failing 'Bethenny' ratings, and rumors that she is obnoxious to her staff.

The health guru, who graduated from the Natural Gourmet Institute, which specializes in healthy-food choices and recipes, does not look as vigorous as she used to be. Bethenny may still be eating well, but all the stress of her life may be having a negative effect on the 43-year-old.

Remember when Bethenny Frankel turned 40 on her reality show 'Bethenny Ever After?' Though she was freaking out about the huge party that her then husband, Jason Hoppy, threw for her, she still looked gorgeous and happy.

Now Bethenny, 43, looks gaunt, tired, and unhappy. What is causing Bethenny to have this much stress in her life?

First, there's having a child in her 40's, which may be the norm in Hollywood, but you can't fool biology.

It must be way more stressful and tiring starting the hectic job at 40 that is meant to begin in your teens or 20's.

In addition, Frankel's talk show rating aren't great, and continue to dwindle. She is constantly #14 in the daytime talk show ratings, and even her loyal viewers are shifting towards watching Queen Latifah's program. Plus there are constant rumors in the press that Bethenny is rude to her staff. One tabloid even said that she was taking the left-over giveaways from her talk show and handing them out to her friends instead of her hard working staff. Though the rumor sounds discredible, it must be stressful to hear these aweful characteristics about herself. 

And then there's her tumultuous divorce with Jason Hoppy. After all of the love that was documented during her two reality shows following 'Housewives,' it must be a real bummer to have to admit the relationship, that she raved about without any barriers, didn't work out.  Kind of embarrassing for the know-it-all.

Bethenny is trying to move on from her ex, but the divorce with Hoppy just won't conclude and gets more heated as the days go by. The seperated pair still live together in the same Tribeca apartment; a constant reminder of her failed marriage.

The exes are also in a vicious feud over receiving full custody of their daughter Bryn.

Jason Hoppy has actually been secretly recording his ex and her SkinnyGirl staff to gain the upper hand in their ongoing custody battle!

A judge had to prohibit the use of tape recorders, cell phones or computers to record each other in their apartment. Hoppy to hear it!

According to RadarOnline a source close to the couple said, "In what world does Bethenny live in where she thinks Jason would just walk away from Bryn? It's clear to Jason that once she had their child, Bethenny got what she wanted from the relationship and she walked away."

"Anything he can do to push her buttons, it's being done. She can't steamroll Jason," the source added.

"They hardly speak to each other, but when they do, it's nasty," the insider said.

Bethenny needs to start focusing on herself a bit more instead of her talk show and expending wasteful energy at belittling her ex. We want our beloved Bethenny back!

What do you think is making Frankel age so quickly?
