The Real Housewives of New York

Couldn't agree more, prism! These American citizens have been treated like.... um.... brown people. 

So glad to see you here!! But a post count of 2? You can do better than that sister! 

She's a Narcissist! Not as bad as The Malignant Narcissist in Chief, but still.... with no ability for critical self examination. I doubt she can ever see herself, even on film, as wrong. It'll always be somebody else's bad!

That said, Thank You Bethany for trying to help our abandoned citizens in Puerto Rico. So much worse of a disasterous governmental response than the response to Katrina in NOLA. Five times the deaths and not an easy Hurricane season coming on (global warming). Kudos for her having the heart to care and do what she could. FEMA didn't care. Because, ....brown people.

Sorry I missed this, but why is Sonja's last name important?

This is SONJA's EX .....    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams_Morgan


John Adams Morgan was born on September 17, 1930 in Oyster Bay on Long Island to Henry Sturgis Morgan (1900–1982) and

Catherine Frances Lovering Adams (1902–1988), the daughter of Frances Lovering and Charles Francis Adams III, the U.S. Secretary of the Navy under Hoover,

and a direct descendant of U.S. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

Morgan attended the Groton School, graduating in 1949. He then attended Yale University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1953.

Tinsley to LuAnn after she was arrested "I'm here in Palm Beach if you want to talk...come over to my moms for a cocktail."

Dense. Immature. And not very bright.

Tinsley inviting Luann over for a cocktail was absentminded and not a great move, but at least in hindsight she realized it was a mistake. I've blurted out things like that, so I get how it happened. I really laughed at her talking about Luann's arrest and commenting about having been in Palm Beach handcuffs herself and not knowing how you get out of them!
I took pretty much everything that Bethenny said to Carole as being shocked that Carole was no longer behaving as the pushover she'd come to expect. In the beginning of their friendship, I think that Carole rolled with a lot both to be polite and because she wanted to make sure she had a friend on the show to be in the cast. Over time she started looking for turns when Bethenny would do it her way and those never came. Add to that she and Tinsley really bonded so she didn't need to roll with everything Bethenny did in quite the same way, and she was able to spread her wings. I see the two of them right now as very similar to married couples where you have a woman who has deferred to her husband for many years, and gets to a point that she wants her voice to be heard and wants things to be done her way from time to time. It's a fair request - but also a shock to the one whose always had her/his way. Carole is being herself - Bethenny is just surprised by it because she never regarded Carole enough to recognize she had her own thoughts apart from Bethenny.

Hey everyone.....I just finished LAST week's episode.

How horribly sad for LU. OMG. She needs to talk to someone, get some professional counseling. LU was so in love with Tom and her reality is that Tom did NOT love her.

Tom turns out to be nothing more than a womanizer. Playboy. This turns out to be so incredibly hurtful and painful for LU.

Hence, the drinking to mask the pain.  LU tells EVERYONE how happy she is that she moved on BUT is she REALLY????

OMG that police video.

My question is WHAT are LU's charges? The Judge said it was serious and she needed an attorney.

What did she do besides obviously being drunk?

THANKS.

Quoting from an online article here :
"Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps has been charged with one felony, resisting an officer with violence, and two misdemeanors, trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance and disorderly intoxication..."

A plea deal (including treatment) *should* improve the situation in the end.

All the RH housewives do it!!! The more important the dinner or party or event, the more we can be sure there will be major HW drama. I think it's got to be the-powers-that-be that insist on it, because it happens pretty much EVERY time in EVERY ONE of the RH franchises.

And for whatever it's worth (very little, apparently), I would enjoy the shows so much more if there was a lot less fighting! 

Five minutes into this episode and I am getting emotional and I only started watching NY the Season after Jill was fired. I never knew of Jill or her hubby. 

How sad.

Then LU calls BF and was all alone in rehab on NYE and NY .... then LU starts crying and she was so emotional and to think her whole year went from an amazing HIGH to the LOWEST of LOW.

Now I am going to go finishing watching.

Tinsley is an airhead an her mom is ugh.

Yes, Tinsley is a Debutante and made to marry and breed. But it was bizarre to see her and her mom try on wedding dresses and cry over her eggs. Does she know what her period is? And why do these women aspire to get married? Just so old fashioned.

I just can't stand Bethany. Everything is all about her.

And I thought it was kinda mean to make fun of Lu to go to a gym that takes your mug-shot. If it were me, I would think they were making fun of me and they did seem a little joyous that Lu was arrested. I guess because Lu is so far from reality and everything is just the best. And I guess they think it served her right after all of that talk about Tom and going through with the marriage even though everyone knew it wouldn't work out.

Oh, and Ramona totally went to Tom's party. I can't wait to see that blow up in her face.

I also loved Dorinda's hair in this episode.

I think LuAnn will think the mugshots are funny. She finds a way to keep herself in humor during her hard times. She's probably going to love them....they were pretty funny!

I couldn't handle Tinsley and her mom. Trying on wedding dresses before you are engaged is a bit of stretch. But the whole crying at the site of the eggs was just too much for me. Poor Scott. I hope he knows what he's in for. I was waiting for an eye roll or something from the guy at the dress shop

When Carole and Tinsley were talking in the steam room ...I kept thinking to myself....Carole is so much more mature than this. They seem like such an odd match in friendship. 

I had my ups and downs about Jill when she was on the show. But I did always love Jill and Bobby together. He really truly loved her. I was happy to see Bethenny and Jill start to make amends. Life is beyond too short for that kind of drama. 

Anyone notice how Sonya didn't say thank you to Bethenny for the jeans she gave her?
