Dude she just turned 21 in April.

Oh, do they let teens adopt children?

I don’t see Grey Gardens when I think of Sonja and Luann, but, I do see Edina and Patsy from AbFab.

Who texts months-overdue apologies to people who are literally in the next room?

The most recent VF has a story about Lee (and Jackie), that includes a quote from Carole. Lee can no longer afford her Paris apartment and is having to move, although she has lots of fine art, i.e. Warhols, so who knows? It also said Jackie left a $140MM estate and Lee got NOTHING. I think Lee is kind of a lifelong…

John would absolutely fit in with those sweaty meatball shaped men on RHoNJ, aka the Goombas.

New York has, by a wide margin, the highest number of cast members who are constantly self medicating with booze (hard liquor too, not just wine). Not to mention the narcotics and almost certainly pills among various cast members.

The red lipstick and the eyebrows. Yes.

Wait, Ramona’s daughter was asked to leave? Why? She seemed so mild-mannered, from what they showed, anyway.

If I had vats of money the absolute last thing I would do is schedule myself for weekly colonics.

I feel like you have to be really hard-line to get anything across to Sonja. Because if you give her the tiniest scrap of positive encouragement, she’ll hang onto it for dear life and reject everything else you’ve said.

Yeah some people are bagging on Bethenny hard for her treatment of Sonja (mostly people who had Bethenny for breathing), but I thought she handled it really well. She was matter of fact, to the point, and refused to be swayed by Sonja’s attempt at manipulative tears. Sonja was as transparent as cellophane last night.…

Reading between the lines of Bethenny’s description of Dorinda and John being OOC in the Hamptons, I think Dorinda and John are coke-heads and that’s why she keeps him around while seeming to kind of hate him and why she is so crazily aggro sometimes.

I keep wondering if Dorinda has always had this wildly aggressive side to her. Like when she was a young wife and mother living in London, was she getting in drunken, screaming brawls with friends?

Dorinda is temperamentally more suited to the New Jersey franchise.

It’s all staged! They’re fed topics of discussion not knowing that the other person has been fed info to knock them off course! And the booze! There’s a reason they always have cabs, limos and cars to take them places — liability!

I need to know this too. I would never touch another drink if I acted like this on live television. That check from Bravo has to be worth it.

Yolanda is the worst current housewife and yes I am including Theresa Guidice in that illustrious group.

I feel terrible for Dorinda’s daughter. The poor girl lost a father figure, this gross dude gloms on to her mom, and her mom is trying to kick her out of the house. John is isolating her from everyone in her life and is exploiting her grief to promote his dry cleaning business.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE.
