Bethenny Frankel recently revealed that she got in touch with her mother after 12 years of estrangement, at the request of her six-year-old daughter Bryn.
But it seems as though the star and her mom haven't exactly kissed and made up.
In a new interview with Radar Online, Bethenny's mother Bernadette Birk told her version of events, and said the 45-year-old didn't make an effort of her own accord, but just did what Bryn asked.

Not exactly kissing and making up: Bethenny Frankel's mother Bernadette Birk says she has 'no feelings at all' about getting back in touch with her daughter
'I don’t think she really reached out, her daughter asked about me,' she explained. 'She didn’t reach out; the daughter did.'
Birk said that she has never met Bryn, but had a chat with her and barely interacted with Bethenny during the phone call.

Share'Well, I just said hello,' she recalled. 'I don’t know the child. I’ve never seen her, so it was very short little conversation. I asked her about her school and her age and just simple little questions. I didn’t really speak to the mother that much.'
While one would think that getting back in touch with your child after 12 years of not speaking would be an emotional experience, Birk said she 'really had no feelings at all' about the situation.

'I buried that with her comments many years ago,' she explained. 'It took me a long time to get over those lied and I have no feelings for her at all.'
The Real Housewives Of New York City star has previously said that Birk was 'never a mother' to her and that she 'never had a true childhood.'
Instead, she claims her upbringing was riddled with 'a lot of destruction: alcohol abuse, eating disorders and violent fights'.
Birk said that she didn't get Bethenny's number, but would like the opportunity to meet Bryn - even if she also had to see her daughter.

'That would be nice,' she told Radar when asked if she hoped to meet her granddaughter. 'As far as Bethenny, I don't know how I would leave her out of the equation.'
Bethenny talked about the conversation - which Birk described as 'very out of the ordinary' - during her Sirius XM radio show, B Real With Bethenny, last week.
'My daughter said, "Mommy, are your parents alive?" I said, "My daddy's not alive and my mommy is alive." She said, "I want to meet your mommy,"' she told fans.
'I thought, "Oh God, I've got to reach out to her,"' Bethenny added, going on to say that she was surprised to receive a warm reception.

'I think that she—and maybe my stepfather—have been hurt because some of the truths of my childhood have been in some of my books as it pertains to how I got here success-wise and how I got here sucking at relationships-wise.'
Bethenny went on: ''So, I said to her, "This is my truth, and I've only told about 10 percent of my truth. And your life is your truth and what got you here.
'And the mistakes that you made—you had me at 20—I'm not angry. I'm just telling you that my daughter has asked for you. She's six years old."' It was actually not an excruciating conversation.'
In March, Birk revealed she had no plans to reconcile with Bethenny, telling In Touch Weekly: 'She’s a miserable daughter, and if we never speak again, it’ll be too soon.'
