Hoppy was arrested at his Manhattan apartment late last month, just four hours after Frankel claims her ex-husband rushed at her and new boyfriend Dennis Shields, 50.
Prior to that, Hoppy had sent over 150 emails in less than three months to Frankel, this after he called her complaints that he was harassing her comical and told her: 'I'll never go away.'
The US Weekly source also says, the single mom had previously testified during their divorce proceedings years ago, that Hoppy had called Bethenny a 'witch' in front of their daughter.
Hoppy has been charged with harassment in the second degree and stalking in the fourth degree, according to an NYPD spokesperson (pictured here in September 2015)
The friend says this latest incident was 'the last straw' for the entrepreneur.
Hoppy has been charged with harassment in the second degree and stalking in the fourth degree an NYPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com for contacting the 'female victim numerous times via email and facetime' as well as approaching her and 'making verbal threats.'
Bethenny was also granted a six-month restraining order which prohibits Hoppy from speaking with her or an unnamed third party involved in the incident, who is likely Shields.
Hoppy's attorney Robert C. Gottlieb responded to the charges against his client by telling DailyMail.com: 'We look forward to having all the evidence and the truth exposed in a courtroom.'

In a statement to DailyMail.com, the reality star's lawyer Barry Zone of Moses & Singer said that the charges against Hoppy come after his client endured a great deal of 'abuse' from her ex.
'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,' said Zone.
'Indeed, Mr. Hoppy has sent hundreds of escalating texts and emails to Ms. Frankel, her assistants and her boyfriend, demanding that she meet with Mr. Hoppy unnecessarily, stating that 'I'll never go away' and that '[y]ou left me no choice but to go to extremes', claiming that her 'definition of harassment is comical' and that he will 'continue to communicate with [her] as [he] see[s] fit', requesting copies of her life insurance policy, and telling her that 'I'll pray for you.'
Getting serious: Frankel's boyfriend Dennis Shields (pair above in June) had his lawyer send Hoppy a cease and desist letter in November after he allegedly sent 49 harassing emails
The incident is just the latest bit of real life drama between the pair, who wed in March of 2010 and then split two years later.
Frankel's latest drama will likely play out for television audiences in just a few months as DailyMail.com has confirmed that Real Housewives is still filming, and about to wrap up for the season.
