"Bethenny Frankel will be the first to admit that her marriage to Jason Hoppy hasn&amp;apos;t always been smooth sailing.\r\nIn a new interview with Self magazine, the super-blunt Bravo star, 41, doesn&amp;apos;t deny that she and her love of three years--whom she wed in 2010, after just over a year of dating--have had their share of problems. Still, she says, if she&amp;apos;s going to give fans a glimpse of her life via her reality show, Bethenny Ever After, she wants to make sure she&amp;apos;s portraying herself--and her relationships--as honestly as possible.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;[Jason and I] have had strains. We&amp;apos;ve had major fights,&amp;quot; Frankel admits. &amp;quot;When I signed on to do this show, I committed to myself and my fans to be totally honest. You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It&amp;apos;s not fair to them.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nFrankel&amp;apos;s commitment to being truthful with her viewers about her marriage extends to all aspects of her life--whatever&amp;apos;s happening on-screen is something she&amp;apos;s dealing with off-screen as well, she says.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The minute I got on TV it was like, don&amp;apos;t be on TV unless you&amp;apos;re not showing who you are,&amp;quot; Frankel tells the magazine. &amp;quot;By just being me, I ended up finding this audience that really related to me, and I ended up connecting to them&amp;#x2026;that is how it all evolved.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
