I was not able to make the charity meeting, as I had a previous commitment with Ma rio. I was extremely surprised at Kelly's response when they wanted to include her name on the charity invite. With this charity event we all decided it was going to be a small group of mainly just our friends. Jill was just trying to be kind and make Kelly feel part of the group. I felt her comments were negative and it was not the place or time to bring them up. It would have been nicer if she had just said, "It's kind of you to want to include me," instead of saying flat out no the way she did. She should have had another conversation with Jill after the meeting privately about any of her reservations, and then say she would prefer not to be on the invitation.
It is always awkward for me when I run into Simon and Alex.I really do not know how to "fake it" with someone I do not like. I have really never had a situation where I run into people I do not like. I feel as though Alex and Simon have invaded my territory. If they come to an event that I am also attending, I just find it easier to leave or go to the other side of the room. I could not believe how Simon just came up to me the way he did at the fashion show. Everyone does not have to like everyone else. It takes too much effort for me to try to be polite and make small talk, so I rather just avoid them than pretend.

I think you being offended because Simon and Alex didn't share something personal with you and you take offense is absurd and by the way if Mario was ever a pro Ive seen high school kids who look better than he does. You people are much more important in your own mind than you really are. NORMAL people look at you people and laugh talk about phony people.

The problem with people like Cat (her comment below) and Ramona is they think they can insult, hurt someones feelings, put them down, try to make them feel small and they label it being honest.... I call it mean

Ramona, I love your frankness..... I am native New Yorker and you have that New York edge. I live in Rhode Island, and people find me a little abrasive at times. I feel I am truthful, and dispite what many people say.... They all say they rather have the truth but many people fear it. you are one of my favorites!

Hi Ramona,
I don't know how you gals do it, but I am addicted to your show. I think this season your light shines through. Continue to be real, and don't let anyone get to you - like Simon and Alex, you're better than that and it comes through loud and clear. Don't feel like you have to defend yourself, just nod your head and walk away from them. It looks like they only get airtime when you indulge them.
By the way - I LOVED your neclaces that you wore on this last episode. It looks like you wore the same chain, just changed pendants? I would love to have one. Take care and Keep that positive energy flowing!!

I am sick and tired of you treating Alex and Simon so badly! So what if Simon likes to weara pastels and has feminine mannerisms? So what if Alex had nude pictures taken? And so what if they prefer to do everything together? Their lifestyle works for them and they beat to their own drum. I say good for them to live and think outside the box! People are losing their jobs and homes resulting in living in "tent communities" in certain states. Don't you have better things to do than harass people just because they're different? At least they're real. And bravo for Simon finallt calling you on your s--t, for once you were actually speechless!

Are you serious when you say it is an honor to play tennis with Mario? Me thinks you think too highly of yourself and your husband!
And your trying too hard to make it seem like Jill is being petty to want and have her own partner. If she wants her own partner so be it...........can't wait to see who the real tennis player Jill gets.......I'll bet it is someone we all have read or heard about as opposed to your partner, who was never heard about until his wife became a cast member of Real Housewives New York!

Hi Ramona, I'm liking YOU more this season. You seem to be fairly balanced with your handling of some of the situations going on, etc. It brought a tear to my eye to see you with your daughter shoe shopping. She is so beautiful. But I lost a lot of respect for Mario when he verbally attacked Jill. He could have tactfully and gracefully said "ok - if you feel more comfortable with someone else, that's fine, but let's agree on a date for all of us." That would have been fine. But he lost a lot of points for the verbal tantrum he unleashed on her in public. As far as Alex and Simon are concerned - smile, say "hi" and move on. You have proven that you can be friendly to others, even if you aren't "friends" with them.

I like you and Mario. It would be better if you stopped getting involved with Jill. I don't think she likes you very much. I also think she provokes you in a way that is really destructive. I gather the tennis match went on. I am sorry to see it because the whole thing was a waste of your time and energy. Jill deliberately fanned the flames to create a "drama" she could be involved in. She likes attention and she is trying to get it on your backs. I like Jill, but I think where you are concerned, she is a user.

Mario was very inappropriate. It was offensive and inappropriate and completely unchivalrous. You have no right to call her on it, it was unmanly and hurtful to her husband. It's not fair. A fight was not right. Step down.

You and Mario are my favorite on the show. You clearly love each other and have a great relationship.
It was great to see Mario pulling Jill's chain, she actually started laughing for a change. They acted like bother and sister, it was funny to watch.
Once again, Simon couldn't leave well enough alone! Gosh, he is desperate to start something with you and get air time, so obvious.
You're comment was only that they could have told you what they were doing with Alex's photos two days after taking them to meet your friends.
Why Simon blew that out of proportion seemed very calculated, he could have just apologised and realised it bothered you that they seemed sneaky.You were the one extending an olive branch and taking Kelly's advice, it was clear you were trying to be polite. I hope you keep ignoring the guy, can't imagine what it's like to be around him and listen to him drone on.

My friends and I obsessed with the show always wondered how Mario and you got along so flawlessly when you are very outspoken and unedited and he seemed so diplomatic. It was a huge "ah ha" moment watching Mario go after Jill like a rabid pitbull. WTF? Why does he even want to play with Jill? At last we see his true colors and realize that everybody acts different without camera's around. This time they happened to be filming.

Ramona,
Last season I really didn't enjoy you on the show. But this season I am thinking you are my favorite. You and Mario have a good relationship. I was happy to learn a little more about your career. I had been wondering for several episodes. Don't waste your time on a friendship with Kelly. She is a troublemaker and her negative energy just comes full-force through the cable, into my tv, and into my living room. Looking forward to watching you the rest of the season!

I am a fan of yours and in your corner. I love the way you're outspoken and good-hearted. But you went sideways this week. I mean, to completely tell off Simon and Alex about the tabloid thing? I get where you're coming from-you felt a little deceived because S and A had a chance to tell you before the pics came out. But then you went for the jugular and it was unnecessary.
And then Mario got in Jill's face and attacked her for delaying the tennis match. I understand Mario's passion for the game but let it go. It's not a big deal. It made you and Mario look immature. You both were on a rampage.
I wish you had supported Bethenny a little more between her and Kelly. I know you're trying to be unbiased but it's clear who was in the right and who was in the wrong. It wouldn't surprise me if Bethenny feels a little betrayed after watching this week's episode and seeing how you failed to step up to the plate in her defense. I still love you Ramona!

Wow! Let me first say, I think you are great. And I was glad to see that you and Jill finally put your differences aside. However, your husband was out of line! He should not have approached Jill in that manner. It is fine to have disagreements but to actually cross the line and put someone down is just rude. He did not have to insult her to get his point across. What was his point anyway? He's upset because she is putting the tennis match off? That's hardly a valid reason for treating someone with such disrespect. Hopefully next week we see Mario apologize for his behavior.

Ramona I love your strong personality and your no BS ways. However, I think that sometimes you overeact on things and you need to learn that there is a time and a place for everything. It seems like all most evertime you see someone you have a bone to pick with them. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff. I also suggest that you stop trying to dress like a 20 yr. old. Your smart and good looking don't demean yourself by dressing the way you do. You can still be fashionable and not look trashy doing it.

OK Ramona, get a grip! Last season I remember thinking your husband was so nice, now I think he is a moron. Why is he on the show so much, is he a "wife" wannabe? He is rude, crude adn down right disrespcful and for soem unknown reason very full of himself. Obviously there is NO love between you 2, he likes to see himself and hear hisself talk crap.
Let's be honest here, if Jill were to come to you adn say that she has chosen a partner to aply you would have been balistic! The reason you called for this "re-match" was becayuse you lost. Leave Mario the martyr out of this, he is a piece of crap adn you both deserve each other

she is a fame seeker and you can tell by the names she drops and how she acts...you and Bethenny are great friends and you need to stand behind your friend

Ramona,
I love that you are trying hard this year to be normal and not bug your eyes so much. I appreciate that you are trying to remain calm and not weird about on people. However, you are correct about Simon and Alex being creepy. You do need to learn to stop approaching them or even speaking with them. You can't have it both ways. If Mario wants to speak with them, let him. That doesn't mean you have to stand there and talk to them and then end up in a fight. We all know they are a wannabe and are out of their league. They are misfits and don't blend, they are very awkward. Leave them alone and stop giving them air time! Make your air time about you, your family and your charities, not them.

You talk about "energy" all the time. No one on the show gives off as much negative energy as you do. Although after last night's show I think Mario is out of his mind as well (or he had ALOT to drink). He was obnoxious with Jill. Alex and Simon are who they are and who are you to judge? They live THEIR lives, not yours. And they are never as rude and nasty as you are. I can't believe you can watch yourself on these shows and not cringe.....It's hard for me to watch you and I don't even know you..I can't imagine how your family feels.

While Ramona is complaining about Simon being femine, she should be worried about why her husaband wants to be so involved with the ladies. Yes, he is handsome, but young looking he is not. It was not his place to set up a tennis match, if no one asked him for his assitance. So like Simon, Mario has feminine ways and probably should shut his mouth all together before his secret comes out.

Ramona, You seem to really be in love with that amazon, Kelly. She left you standing there, ignoring you, when you showed up at her horse show, but you still came back for more. You must really look up to her or something is going on. Kelly is nothing but a pretentious creep. You seem to only want to be nice to people who think are better than you. That's peobably why you won't give Simon and Alex the time of day. You told Alex that you don't think she's honest, but do you really think Kelly is sincere? Wake up, Ramona, you act like a dizzy chick.Mario better watch out, I think you and Kelly will soon be lovers.

I an convinced you are a bad, bad mom but now I see Mario is a bad, bad dad I feel soo so sorry for your daughter, what a crappy life she must live, I hope there is someone there for her ( other than the 2 of you ) and as for his profession as a tennis player, if he is so good why is it so important for him to play Jill and pick her teammate? Why does he assume her teammate as a famous player and act like he has never met them? It is so hard to believe that he plays tennis professionally maybe as a big hobbie. The 2 of you are so fake and you call out other people to distract from you. Well it seamed like a good idea but then the national tv comes in and shows you for the fakes you really are, have fun with the lie and good luck because you will need it.

Romona,
I think Simon put a mirror in front of your face during a conversation with you on the 3/31/09 show. He is so right. How can you have a centerfold for a friend and have disapproval for Alex. If you think posing nude to any degree is wrong then end your friendship with the centerfold or admit to the real reason you do not like Simon and Alex. It’s ok not to like everyone and/or to disapprove of something they do or the way they live their life. It’s even ok not to be a friend to them because of that. It’s ok not to speak to them because of that. But it’s not ok to attack them because of that. Last time I checked as long as someone is within the law, they have the right to be whom and what they want to be and to do what they want to do. If you want to be sure that someone measures up, request a resume from them before you invite them an event and introduce them to your other friends. Have you introduced Alex to your centerfold friend? Bottom line, you have to decide why you really do not like Simon and Alex. Ask yourself if who they are or what they do is legal, if it hurts someone or causes damage to the world. If it doesn’t then the issues are yours and work thru those issues or disassociate from them. If it does then turn them into the authorities. I doubt Alex or Simon think that her pictures are skeletons in the closet but they might. Remember everyone, including you, has bones rattling around behind the bi-fold doors.

Ramona, grow up. You are sooooo silly about issues that are none of your business. You run around in the shortest of skirts and then judge Alex? Why did she have to tell you about the pictures? Instead of being sympathetic you took on a holier-than-thou attitude. She looks and acts like a lady more than you do.
Stop being so ridiculous about Simon as it makes you look very small-minded. Just say hello and move on.

You are just as rude as you say Alex and Simon are, they are "different" but that doesn't make you "better" ~ at least they do not go out of their way to insult people, they are a little more grounded than you will ever be. Try to be nice and practice being at least civil to those who don't measure up to you, after all, who could really measure up to you in every segment of the show you are the only one who constantly says "I, I, I" that's a little telling don't you think?

You and Bethenny are by far my favorite of the housewives. I have to admit, at the start of the show i had some reservations, but as the show goes on we've all gotten to know you better. i think you're one of the most honest and down to earth of everyone and you're not afraid to tell it like it is. i respect that! also, i remember a few episodes ago you were talking about all these dating rules and such, I'm very interested to hear more about all of that!!! if you were to write more columns for cosmo or even write a book, i'd definitely be the first in line to buy it. i think you and mario are teh cutest couple and, from what i've seen on TV, have the closest and firm bond. it seems like you two are together because you genuinely make each other happy, not just because he can afford you all the nice things in life!! anyway, i love watching you. can't wait for next week's episode!

I just saw the 3/31/09 episode wherein Mario proved to the entire human race that he is indeed the 7th REAL HOUSEWIFE OF NEW YORK CITY (and not Simon)!!! And I thought he was the best husband in this series. I was surely mistaken. Like HUSBAND (Mario), like WIFE (Ramona)...a CONTROL FREAK! He kept on interrupting Jill, rudely hushed her just to shut her up, and made all these rude, weird (for a guy!) & inappropriate hand gestures. SOOOOO ILL-MANNERED (that's what you get for being married to somebody like Ramona). So disappointing! GOOD JOB JILL for not stooping down to his level. Mario (& Ramona) is an epitome of a mere 'nouveau riche'...no breeding, no class, one who just became rich...

Seriously, you and your husband are like the rudest couple ever. I mean, who cares if Simon is feminine? You think your husband is so macho? He picks on Jill for not playing tennis with him, yeah what a gentleman. And such a shame that you judge on Alex like that for having nude pictures. She have a great body and you don't, so I understand if you feel intimidated by her. You and Mario needs to take some manner class, or socialization class.. even my dog socialize better than you.

I know how frustrating it is that Simon irks you so. I must tell you that from my standpoint, you have the upper hand because you are clearly above his element. I must caution you to avoid falling into his trap by responding to his attempts to egg you on and badger you. He is only trying to get a rise out of you and he appears to be succeeding based on your reactions. It may hurt but if you simply stand back and smile, grit your teeth, bite your tongue and do whatever you have to do but it will make you out to shine like the star you are. Pish posh!

Ramona... I think you were out of place expecting Alex and Simon to tell you that her naked pictures were coming out in a few days in the tabloids. Who does that? That is an embarrassing thing as it is...why would they have to inform you about something that may or may not happen? I bet you wouldn't. Don't get me wrong, I don't really care for them, but you need to get down from your high horse. It is not your place to expect that. And I am glad Simon called you out on it...you have friends that have done similar things and for money...so what is worst?

As much as people consider Ramona to be rude for "telling it like it is," I appreciate her for doing so. (Going back a few episodes) I didn't really see how she was that out-of-line for mentioning that she thought that Luann married an older man (notice that she did not say "old man," the words that Luann put in her mouth) and I thought it was great when she was honest with Simon, too. He asked for it!
I can completely relate to not know how to "fake it" around people whom you don't like, so I don't blame her for just not dealing w/ the situation. As much as I hate to agree with Kelly, though, maybe her advice is best. Just say "hi" and then be on your way. I know that's fake, but I suppose it's the best way to deal w/ things.

Ramona,
You are two faced. You claim to be a friend of Bethanny's yet you do nothing to defend her to Kelly. You socialized with Simon and Alex (until you found out that Alex posed nude and didn't tell) until you found out that they weren't the "right" kind of people for "your circle". You let Jill introduce you to new people and than try to "edge her out" of the group. You bring up the tennis match and the emails then send Mario to behave like a "two bit thug" and pounce on Jill at a public event. You can't be the _itch and the Christian too and it's obvious which one comes more naturally. Mario, what would you do if someone behaved that way towards your daughter???
PS - you will note that Kelly accepted your invitation to a fashion show; which she then wrote about. BUT, she goes shopping and is photographed with the Countess. So, is she your friend or are you not "her kind of people"?

What is it with you and Alex's photos? You are beside yourself over them. I suspect it's that she looks really good and, let's face it, that photo of you in Cosmo is frightening. The whole "betrayal" scenario is really pathologically narcissistic.
I knew your attempted social climb with Kelly would be short-lived (as it was with LuAnn). Did you get that she insulted you at the fashion show? ("It would be as ridiculous as me being jealous of...you!") You did pick up some new catch phrases from her, though, which you recycled at the magazine party. Speaking of which, was your husband drunk? I think he should have been escorted out by security for his assault on Jill. The poor woman was crying. After all your blather at the horse show about correct behavior for gentlemen toward ladies!

I understand how you feel about not being a phony...I would like to say however (and I speak to all the ladies on NY Housewives)--that the bickering and fighting, plus the he said, she said, after-the-fact pete and repeat sort of hostility that goes on, is wearing on my nerves. My mom, God rest her soul, told me that a soft answer turneth away wrath. She never said anything unkind to anyone. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out. I don't know if I will ever be as nice a lady as she was, but I can try. She was very classy, and never went to a designer. So you see, a person can be beautiful, just by picking and choosing their words and persona towards others. Be kind to each other, and let your true beauty show.

Newsflash Ramona..Mario is not the hottest Husband. BOBBY ZARIN IS THE HOTTEST HUSBAND! No one can beat the way Mr. Zarin Styles and Profiles and by the way the manner in which Mario has been making snide remarks, and attacking Jill over a simple tennis match is totally, too feminine for a man to act! Bobby's concern for Jill and his silent guidance was not only endearing but MACHO!
take your head out your BUTT and measure your words before thy point a finger at others. Simon got you good with his semblance of hipocricy...You and Kelly should become really good friends since you both are Phony! Let people live their lives without that holier than thou attitude, and fabulous. BOBBY ZARIN & JILL are FABULOUS!

Hi Ramona, I really like that you are blunt but sometimes you have to give it to Jill, Mario is acting like Simon. The tennis match should just be for the girls. The only reason you want Mario to play is because he is a pro, honey admit it, you want Jill to lose. Take it like a big girl, and just play her a rematch

Ramona,
I saw the episode where you went to the plastic surgeon for that facial treatment. You also said you use really good creams on your face.
I also use good creams, but I'm interested in what you use. I've tried LaPrairie, LaMer, Kanebo and Sisley. I'd like to try, I think it's call ThermaCool. Is that the treatment you got at your doctor's place? By the way, my favorite eye gel is Kanebo Premier.
Please write back.

Hey I love You on the show. You and Bethany are my favs although I like Jill. I see how two STRONG FEMININE PERSONALITIES! could clash. Mario was very agressive towards Jill I see why she was so Taken-aback He was very IN HER SPACE I see how tennis is a passion for him. Sorry you two dont get along, I like a good mix of strong personality. But You Friggin rock and I admire your independance and openess. PEACE

Ramona please relay a message to you "tennis pro" husband from an actual tennis pro. We were watching the latest episode after our evening lessons. Watching Mario play tennis made us laugh out loud. The way he brags about his tennis he should have been more careful to never be on screen actual playing. Thank Mario for the laugh and if he would like a lesson let him know we are available.

Please tell your husband to leave Jill alone! It made me sick the way he talked to her. I wondered last season how you were able to get a nice guy. Now Mario has been on screen more than 2 minutes this season, it's all so clear to me...you never had a nice guy! You two deserve each other.

Ramona, although you are right in thinking that Simon is feminine and weird it still doesnt give you a right to be so rude. I admire that you are honest and real but i have to say that you have no class. I found it so ironic when you said that class was making people feel comfortable because you barely ever make people feel confortable with your rude comments and actions.

Hey RoMo! I adore you girl but lighten up! Go get some nudey pics taken of your own heck have Mario take them...you are just as good as everyone else so don't jump/hop to be as tall as them, oh and who studies anything before a day out with a friend? Come on don't get angry at those beings who are borderline genius (hello Simon may be too smart book wise but we can't hold him guilty when it comes to relationship faux pas). And who cares who plays tennis better or has the greek god hubby. You come across too willing to challenge and that is so not needed you are a fun opinionated interesting person stop trying to measure up it only brings you down. So next season you go nude and forgive all the others who choose that for whatever reason even publicity...you at least have boobs! (Still love Alex) Let it go you are just as incredible yet I often only mention what you have said about the others.

Ramona you crack me up. I think you always mean the best, it just comes out quirky though!
I agree that Simon absolutely gives me the creeps, and they are some strange people!!! Do they even know themselves?!
I think LuAnn owes you a HUGE apology!
I think Mario owes Jill a HUGE apology! Leave the woman alone already!!! Why the heck does she have to play tennis with him?!
I love that you love your daughter! I agree, I had my kids to have them with me, not send them away!

Ramona, you are one of my favorite characters on the show. But your husband was totally rude to Jill on tonight's show when they were discussing the tennis match at the Page 6 party. He gets all upset about it and has his finger all in Jills face and then when he is discussing it with Simon he said I could honestly care less if she plays or not. I find that hard to believe after the argument he had with Jill. I honestly liked your husband more last season when he wasn't in front of the camera as much, running his mouth.

Your husband was pretty stupid tonight. Talking to Jill that way. How pathetic. She has no time to play tennis w/him. Can he take the hint, she doesn't want to play w/him. Both of you are rude and embarrassing people.

Simon made a good point about the pool incident. If you don't like Simon and Alex - why make up stupid reasons, like her going topless? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...
On a good note - you seem much calmer these days. Your husband on the other hand really showed his er.. "roots" tonight. Sure he isn't from NJ??

Re: 3/31 episode: While Mario previously seemed to be a reasonably even keeled guy, he soooo needed to be reeled in (and gagged). Acting in such a tasteless, aggressive manner towards ANYONE, only reflects VERY poorly on him. Sadly, Mr. Zarin was prohibited from "decking him", as he well deserved, due to the numerous cameras. Glad to see at least Jill kept her composure. (though I could feel her desire to slap him silly!)

Ramona, you used to be my favorite, but know that you explained the problem you have with Simon, I think you are just ridiculous...talking about being fake. You cannot sale yourself as a free spirit, open minded person and then be so judgmental and hypocrite at the same time.
- 03/31/2009 - 11:21pm

Ramona - you are the most ridiculous thing on television nowadays. You're rude because you think your status gives you a right to be, have absolutely no class, and you try too hard to fit the socialite mold. I've also seen from the show you most definitely do not think before you speak - you let any rude and or stupid comment that comes to mind fly out of your mouth. You have no self control. You're in dire need of some etiquette lessons from The Countess.

Hey Ramona! Sometimes I think your comments are really funny. At the beginning I thought you'd be the real one. I agreed with you that it was creepy when Simon came to the girls night. I think that he and his wife are climbers. However, I think you're taking it a little too far. It doesn't make you a better person to act so disgusted by him. Why not be classy about it? The definition of classy (since you always talk about class) is someone who can get along with different classes. With ALL DIFFERENT CLASSES. Not with just people who they "approve".. Get it? And I really don't get your friendship with Kelly. It is really telling of your insecurities. You said on the show that "she has great energy". I think things you have in common is confusion and superficiality...your friendship is totally fake. It's just very obvious that you and Kelly are not the brightest light bulbs in the basket. So bond with her! She's totally on your "level"

Ramona,
I think you are very sweet and beautiful. However, I do not think you should dwell so much about Alex and Simon. Everyone is different and knowing how to deal with people is a must. Personally, watching the show I do not see why you are so irked by the two. For two years I had to work with a boss who was a little odd. But towards the end we started getting along and it was self- rewarding building a relationship with someone I did not initially like.

I like you because you are a strong and independent and say whats on your mind. However at the same time I cringe when you put your foot in your mouth, I hate to say it but you really need to learn how to sensor what you say. It is one thing to be real and another to be rude and inappropriate which sometimes you come off that way although I don't think you mean to. I hope to see more of you in the future.

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to be more immature and ignorant than you. But your husband proved me wrong tonight. He ought to be ashamed of the way he talked to a woman. That's quite a man you've got there. You're just ignorant enough to think he did nothing wrong.

Okay look, you owe Simon and Alex and Jill a big apology. Simon kinda had you shell shocked when he went there about you with the playmate, and honey you kissed her on the mouth, not the cheek, it's called rewind, and needless to say in front of your young daughter. I think your a good mother, that you love your child, but be realistic call it like it is, you should've had a problem with Alex and the photos, somehow or for some reason you don't like them and that is fine, but don't manipulate the situation when you got called out on it, you didn't have much to say after that comment Simon made, because it's real its true, and for that you owe them an apology, and at the end of the day if you still don't like them, fine don't like them, but not on bogus bull. Don't be a hypocrite it makes you look desperate, and thats not very becoming, its sad. I hope you make the right choice and be fair and open minded to them. They're not my favs but they are who they are and they don't try to cover it up, you should try the same.

Ramona, everything you accused Simon of your husband was to Jill. I found it interesting that your girlfriend, whom you kissed in the mouth, posed nude for playboy. I always thought you had issues, but now you and your husband are nuts.

Ramona,
I'm am so glad you are starting to see Kelly for who she really is. I think she has been very rude to you and no one deserves that! She is a rude person and I don't think Bravo should even allow her on the show!
Can't wait to see how you confront her, that is if you decide to do so.

You honestly don't come across on the show as the most real person, but YOU ARE the most real person on the show. You say what you feel and don't care that the cameras are there, everyone else does on the show! You're kid is the most real and a great girl not to mention that you're husband is the only hot husband on the show, don't even get me started on Simon......LOL
Keep doing what you are doing honey you are being real.....that's what we need on reality TV

Hmmmm, I'm noticing a trend here in all of these blogs from the housewives. It seems that you all start off talking about how to handle situations in a classy way (or "elegant" to use one of Ramona's terms). But then a paragraph later you are totally trashing some one else on the show. Everyone says to "let it go", but then they don't when it pertains to something they have experienced. I really think that through all of the charity work, you really are just like a lot of the people I know, who you wouldn't dain to acknowledge. I'm so happy in my little life, and watching you girls duke it out on Tuesday nights drives that point in further.

I really wanted to tell you Kelly don’t care one iota about you; Kelly is just looking for an alli. Just think of it this way you listened to Kelly run on about Bethenny, but when it was your turn to talk and ask for advice she didn't want to hear about it. You might want to check who your friends are, be careful of her she will use you for the fashion connections and spit you out. She told you not to even bother to talk about Simon yet she has told the story 4 times. Get rid of her that article in the paper is just the beginning…
