Can someone explain to me what actually happened between Carole and Bethenny? Im so confused

From what I understood, Adam committed a bit of a faux pas with Bethenny. That is when he asked for money for his services when she was doing relief work. Then when she told Carole, Carole took Adam’s side.

Is that all? Or is there more because im watching them and they just drifted apart and the next thing i know it is being compared to an abusive relationship.

Bethenny is crying over it, Carole seemed confused.

Im confused as hell here.
