The drama revolves around mutual friend Jill Zarin, whose relationship with Frankel, now started to crumble during RHONY‘s third season.
“[Bethenny] is not kind,” Stanger told the crowd during a Q&A with former View co-host Michelle Collins, reports PEOPLE. “We were really good friends, the three of us. And what she did to Jill — threw her under the bus, told her to get a hobby … it was awful. So, I said, ‘Don’t do that. [Jill’s husband] Bobby gave you the world, let you travel with him, paid for you, did [so much] for you.’ When people are mean to other people, they don’t deserve love. Sorry!”
Frankel — who finalized a “torturous,” four-year divorce battle with ex Jason Hoppy last July — is still keeping company with on-again, off-again boyfriend Dennis Shields, though she’s been clear that she doesn’t need a man in her life to feel fulfilled and successful.
“I am living the single life. I never really lived the single life before, and I am enjoying it,” the mom of 7-year-old Bryn Hoppy told PEOPLE in April. “I have different things that I want now than I did 10 years ago and I don’t have any boxes to check.”
She continued, “I very much have my own life, my own money, my own daughter and my own career. I don’t need a man to check any of the boxes.”
