Rodger Berman's girlfriend, Bree Jacoby, has lashed out at his ex-wife Rachel Zoe on social media, telling the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star to 'leave me the f*** alone' after Zoe complained about Berman declaring his love for Jacoby on her birthday. Jacoby claims Zoe has been 'awful' to her and needs to 'take accountability' for her behavior.

Jacoby also disputed Zoe's claims about their birthdays being close together, stating her birthday is actually a day after Zoe's, not the same day. Jacoby said she met Zoe and Berman's children a year after dating Berman and that she wishes Zoe 'the best and to find love and happiness,' but accused Zoe of being unable to 'do' a 'modern family' situation.

What they’re saying

“Leave me the f*** alone… What's so insane? You did not want to be married and said it yourself you wish you left 7 years ago. You're acting like a jealous woman. Get a new story line. I'm not going anywhere. So get used to it.”

— Bree Jacoby, Rodger Berman's Girlfriend

“I actually don't care about anything other than the kids and my relationship. I wish her the best and to find love and happiness. I would be a modern family. But she can't do it. It's very sad. But that's her own issue. We are better than the drama. But I'm really getting tired of this portrayal of him and of me. It's not true. Rodger is an incredible father might I add. And an incredible boyfriend. Best human.”

— Bree Jacoby, Rodger Berman's Girlfriend
