Sonja Morgan Blasts Ramona Singer For Lying; Doesn’t Want To Hurt Bethenny

Sonja sobs over Bethenny

Sonja sobs over Bethenny

Sonja Morgan has a lot to say this week after watching the new episode of The Real Housewives of New York. She defends her decisions, rips Ramona Singer for being a two-faced liar, and feels bad for hurting Bethenny Frankel, even though she feels Bethenny’s hurt is not business-related. She also accuses Ramona and Dorinda of ‘drinking like fish.’

Sonja starts off defending that her birthday party was not a product launch. “I did not have press at my birthday party. It wasn’t a business event. It wasn’t a charity or a typical Sonja In the City event with wall-to-wall professional cameras. I sent out no press invites. It was not a launch. It was just personal friends coming together to celebrate with Marco Maranghello and me. Thanks Ramona for not letting Bethenny know that.”

She feels she was pulled into some controversy because of Bethenny’s name alone. “Bethenny’s name is always enticing in the press, and I got dragged into a story because of the two brands having the word “girl” and being alcohol and some gossipy people stirring the pot. That’s why all the girls are buzzing about Tipsy vs Skinny, because there is always buzz around Bethenny.”

She says that Tipsy Girl and Skinnygirl are nothing alike and that the name was trademarked long before Bethenny’s brand came along.  “Skinnygirl is a dietetic option to those who want to indulge, and Tipsy is a full-on alcoholic beverage. No pun intended. There are several products before and after Bethenny’s Skinnygirl Margarita (which she sold to Jim Beam) with the word Skinny, which has a thin or healthy connotation. I never thought she’d be mad about me partnering up with these guys that I worked with a lifetime ago in the restaurant biz. They trademarked the name Tipsy Girl because it had significance to them before they ever heard of Ramona or Bethenny. And it never had anything thing to do with health or dieting. Just imbibing and celebrating.”

RELATED: RAMONA SAYS SONJA MIXES BOOZE AND PILLS?

On to Ramona acting dumb and making jabs at Sonja, “Now I have Ramona saying she doesn’t know what kind of party I had? It was my birthday! Strangest people were there? Rude, Ramona. She knew that it was an intimate group of friends. She’s knocking my legitimate businesses to Bethenny? After acting happy for me at my fashion show and seeing my beautiful designs and jewelry and the work that I put into it? What are Ramona’s businesses? She has had her jewelry, facial creams that never do, the little book that never did, the restaurant that never was hers, and the red wine and rosé that never stayed or happened, while she seems to have a ongoing hobby slandering people. How long can that last? What is she building? An international bullying brand?”

Sonja maintains that she is a good and loyal friend to Bethenny, “I hate being in the paper being made a spectacle of and never return calls from the press regarding Bethenny, because I wouldn’t want her to think I am exploiting her to gain attention to myself! When I went to Bethenny’s brand summit, I took no one’s card. I would never want her to think I want to rip her off. I want my friends to know I am with them for them. I went to be with HER, enjoy the moment together and was flattered she trusted me.” Adding, “It was about her licensing deals and integrating them. It was fascinating.”

RELATED: SONJA IS DONE BEING LOYAL TO RAMONA

She blasts her co-stars for trying to turn Bethenny against her, “How this all got misconstrued is crazy and definitely started with the press. And then the girls in her ear. Thanks Carole. My not-so-successful businesses? What is a successful business to Carole I wonder? I consider successful doing what I enjoy, working with the people I enjoy working with and being proud of what I build. I have decades of experience in the restaurant, catering, service and luxury consulting field. Everything is coming together with my fashion education at The Fashion Institute of Technology and in the fashion retail and whole industry. It feels good.”

Sonja isn’t trying to compete with Bethenny in any way, she claims, “I would be a crazy person to go up against Bethenny. And everyone can see how the girls suck up to Bethenny. I don’t suck up to her, and I’ve always had a nice relationship based on feelings. Our relationship is not based on using each other to get ahead socially or in business. I don’t text her back and forth on those subjects.”

Sonja says Dorinda and Ramona both need to take a look in the mirror, rather than sitting around at lunch judging her. “Ramona discussing Tipsy Girl and its connotation towards me with Dorinda is a joke. Both girls should look at how much they tip their own cups. They both drink like fish. My businesses are mine, and I pay my bills just fine. I’ll leave it at that. I have grown so much and through so much. So to say I’m not growing sounds ridiculous. I’ve had a hell of a learning curve. It’s high school for them to judge me. They are the ones who are stuck back at Sarabeth’s in the hood where their kids went to school still talking about John (four years later), my partying, my fragility (but not with me), and my new businesses (but not with me). They do this while I have sold two homes, kept my home in NY through my re organization and lawsuit, a second jewelry collection, quit drinking and put my straight A daughter into boarding school, maintained lifelong friendships, forged new relationships, and have been cleaning out my closet. Who is stuck? I would say I have gathered no moss. I look forward to and at my own goals. I have a beautiful daughter who has humility and respect, a new fashion, jewelry, and swimwear collection, and working my other irons in the fire (for years). I am not stuck creatively or financially. I am growing. Thriving. Am I lonely with my daughter away? Yes. Another subject. Growing pain. Not stuck.”

She is hurt by Bethenny referring to her businesses as fake and thinks it comes from Ramona and she says that Ramona exaggerated her own business dealings. “Bethenny with the six fake businesses comment? Has to be coming from Ramona. AOA with Ramona should not be the litmus test that Bethenny uses to judge Peter. Ramona was the one who told the world she was an owner of AOA and she wasn’t. Peter and his partner own several restaurants. AOA was a public relations deal. My fashions and jewelry do not have to be in stores to exist and be successful businesses and are building towards an overall business plan. I have had several fashion shows, fashion presentations, and they are sold online. Building a fashion lifestyle business today takes many roads. How does that make what I do fake? People around the world are buying and wearing my ready-to-wear, gowns, swimwear, and jewelry. How can I be faulted for doing what I love and being proud of it?”

She thinks that Bethenny is taking this personally and that it doesn’t actually have to do with business at all. “Bethenny knows how hard it is and how long it takes to build a lifestyle business from the ground up. I can see this is not about business. This is about Bethenny taking this personally. She is very upset. And it’s personal. That’s the last thing I want. Last thing I would expect from Bethenny. I thought she would laugh as usual and Ramona would make her digs. As usual. But this is rough! I’m feeling misunderstood, but obviously Bethenny is very hurt. So now I’m hurt that she’s hurt since she is my pillar of strength. I look up to Bethenny as inspiration and would never wish that. It’s like a balloon just popped over my head that I was following.”

She continues, accusing Ramona of being two faced, “At Sushi Roxx Ramona is so nice to me, like she wasn’t in the ear of Bethenny? So two faced! Like she hasn’t been saying I need to get my life together? She’s the one that said she’s embarrassed of me? Because she is out dating after splitting from her husband now and worried about her reputation? Then, like usual, I’m the uncomfortable side kick when she wants to get the scoop from Lu’s paramour. I had no idea he was the guy from Ibiza. Nor did I know he was the guy Lu was avoiding. But, Ramona certainly did and wanted to squeeze him for some scoop. Obviously to embarrass LuAnn somehow. I’m always associated with Ramona’s bad behavior as her friend. Yet she says I haven’t grown when lunching with Dorinda behind my back? Why wasn’t I at that lunch if there was real concern by these ladies? Ha! Ramona hasn’t grown one iota, Dorinda. She’s still immature and embarrassing all her friends and wasn’t invited to the party. I am invited to the same parties for decades. Dating? I think any man would find it hard to trust her loyalty and her actions that resemble erratic up and down emotional behavior.” Adding, “Yes, Dorinda, I agree. John should not engage Ramona. It’s embarrassing. Lord knows I have tried to rise above it for decades, and it becomes difficult to turn the other cheek at times when the apologizer thinks her apologies erase her words and hurt.”

Sonja ends with a sort of apology to Bethenny, “I am not going to apologize for being me and going through my life experiences. I do make mistakes. However, I don’t want to hurt Bethenny’s feelings, and I do feel that is happening here. She has worked very hard and she is going through a difficult divorce with a young daughter to support. I am feeling her pain. That’s not ok with me. For that I am very sorry.”

TELL US – DOES SONJA HAVE SOME VALID POINTS ABOUT RAMONA? IS SHE UNDERSTANDING WHAT BETHENNY IS ACTUALLY UPSET ABOUT?

Kandi Burruss Turns 40 – Photos

Kandi Burruss Turns 40

Kandi Burruss Turns 40

Kandi Burruss celebrated her 40th birthday with a party full of her besties this week. Unfortunately, Kandi’s birthday week also fell in the middle of some other momentous occasions – 1: The birthday of Ayden Nida; 2: the Bravo Upfronts, which meant several of Kandi’s fellow Real Housewives Of Atlanta stars were unable to attend. 

Kandi didn’t seem to mind sharing her birthday. She was happy to celebrate with her ride or dies who threw her a surprise birthday dinner and accept the copious social media shout-outs she got from friends and frienemies alike.

Kandi’s consolation prize also included Sheree Whitfield in attendance at her party – and a little bit of She By SheBroke makes everything better, right?! (I seriously LOVE Sheree!).

This weekend, Kandi will wrap up her celebration with a  birthday getaway – let’s see who turns up of the turn up! Fun Fact: Kim Fields also celebrated a birthday this week! 

“Today is a wonderful start to an amazing year! I’m still partying & I will be partying all week but I just wanted to say thank you to every person that sent happy bday messages thru text, calls, post on social media. Thank you to everyone that sent flowers, cards, & gifts. Thank you to everyone who sent video messages for my bday video,” Kandi gushed. “Thanks to everyone who came to my bday dinner at my mom’s house & everyone who came to the surprise dinner after & everybody who’s coming on our bday trip this weekend. I love y’all & I’m embracing 40 to the fullest! I just turned 20 for a second time & I’m gonna make this next year my best year yet! Thanks @carmoncambrice for coordinating the surprise dinner!”

Kandi definitely makes 40 look good – better than ever, in fact. Photos of her birthday are below.
