Bethenny Frankel is allegedly dragging her feet on being deposed in a multimillion-dollar battle over issues with her divorce ... but the reality star's lawyer adamantly denies she's dragging it out ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Bethenny’s former lawyer, Jamie Schreck, claims the 'RHONY' alum has not been providing dates for her to be deposed ... since 2022.

Jamie said Bethenny has “abandoned” the case, “failing to prosecute or do anything on it for nearly four years.” He said she has not responded to his offer to settle the case for $25K ... in addition to not providing available dates to be deposed. Bethenny and her team have since engaged with the suit and dispute she ever abandoned the case.

Clearly, this video was recorded not long after her corpse was found deceased in bed ... because the officer says she is still located exactly where she took her last breath.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a hot air balloon tangled up in a communications tower! Firefighters in Longview, Texas, rescued 2 hot air balloonists Saturday after they crashed into a 900-foot-tall structure ... and the harrowing mission was all caught on video.

In an interview with KLTV, the Longview Fire Department said its firefighters had trained for a hot air balloon incident ... but not like this. Due to the height of the tower, 6 different rope systems had to be used, KLTV reported.
