Bethenny Frankel’s ex-husband, Jason Hoppy, was arrested Friday in his NYC home and is now facing misdemeanor charges of stalking and harassment. He has pled not guilty.

According to ABC News, he is free on $2,000 cash bail and will be due back in court in March.

A complained obtained by ABC claims that Hobby sent a series of text messages and emails to Bethenny that “caused her to fear for her safety.” There were allegedly over 160 messages that began in August. One of them apparently read: “Despite your games, I’ll never let you do to me what your mother did to your father. I’ll never go away.”

Jason supposedly received a cease-and-desist letter from Bethenny’s attorneys this fall.

The complain also claims that last month Jason approached Bethenny and her boyfriend and said, “OK I see. This is how you want to do this. OK. You can play your game. It doesn’t matter. You can get 10 lawyers. There’s nothing you can do to stop me. You’ll be sorry. You’ve been warned. I can’t help it. She’s pure evil. You’ve been warned. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Bethenny’s lawyer, Barry Zone, said to ABC News: “Ms. Frankel’s decision to report Mr. Hoppy’s abusive behavior followed years of systematic bullying, harassment, stalking and torment on an almost daily basis. Indeed, Mr. Hoppy has sent hundreds of escalating texts and emails to Ms. Frankel, her assistants and her boyfriend. These acts of mental and psychological abuse are domestic violence, pure and simple. No woman, celebrity or not, deserves to have their allegations of such abuse taken lightly, and we are grateful to the NYPD for their immediate action to protect Ms. Frankel.”

In 2013, Bethenny filed for divorce and eventually reached a settlement over the custody of their 6-year old Bryn.

In an appearance on the Wendy Williams, Bethenny went into detail about the craziness her ex-husband brought to her life. He was BAD NEWS people.

We’re rooting for you, Bethenny!
