Bethenny Frankel in tears over near-death experience: 'If no one was with me I would have been dead'
On the season finale of The Real Housewives of New York City Thursday night, Bethenny Frankel was in tears after recovering from a near-death experience, which landed her in the intensive care unit.
Frankel was in Boston with her boyfriend, who had brought her miso soup, which happened to have fish flakes in it. Since Frankel has a severe fish allergy, the housewife quickly went into anaphylactic shock.
"Paul left to get Benadryl. He came back three minutes later and I was unconscious," said Frankel. "Paul was, like, seeing if I was breathing and I was drooling."
Frankel then recalled, through tears, "I was in the ambulance and they jammed this, like, rocket pen in my leg and I got to the ER, and then I heard this guy say if it had been five more minutes that I would have passed away." Frankel explained that it didn't seem real when they told her she was going into the ICU. However, what scared Frankel the most was the fact that she could have died if she had been alone.
"If no one was with me I would have been dead. That's what's freaking me out, if I was alone. And I don't want to be alone now," sobbed Frankel.
Since August of last year, Frankel has struggled with the tragic loss of her on-and-off boyfriend Dennis Shields, when he was found dead in his Trump Tower apartment. Recently on the show, Frankel went off on Luann de Lesseps over the fact that de Lesseps never asked if Frankel was okay following Shields's death.
However, on Thursday night's finale, Frankel said she felt Shields's presence on the way to the emergency room, which, in a way, finally gave her the closure she needed.
"I felt Dennis pulling at me," Frankel described to her driver. "I didn't think it. I felt it. I felt that he was pulling me." Frankel explained that, after feeling Shields's presence, she's "done with him," and that "it's over."
"I'll always love Dennis," said Frankel. "I talk about him. I think about him every single day. But he always wanted me to be happy ultimately. He would always say to me, 'You will find someone who will love you and treat you the way that you deserve to be treated.' So, it was some sort of closure with Dennis. I'm not going with you."
The Real Housewives of New York City airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
