Miss Confident

Ramona talks about her embarrassing runway walk, renewing her vows with Mario, and more!

April 15, 2010

 

Well, let's talk about Brooklyn fashion week. Or can we forget I ever walked down that runway? How embarrassing. It's a good thing I do not make my living walking the runway, as I would starve. I was a deer in headlights. I was so frightened and nervous and was mortified later to see how I looked and so was my daughter Avery. I was sooo scared! Me, usually Miss Confident, Miss I Can Do Anything, totally freaked.

On a better note, I thought Alex looked beautiful! I was so proud of how she pulled Brooklyn Fashion Weekend together. I must say I am enjoying our friendship and we are taking it slowly. She impresses me every step of the way and we are evolving and deepening our friendship in a meaningful way. I am not even going to comment on Jill's behavior. Some people have a bad hair day or days; well this was a bad Jill day.

I not only love my husband but I really LIKE him. You can love your mother, father, wife, husband but you may not like them. My mom loved my dad, but I know she did not like him. I cannot believe Mario and I have been married eighteen years. I first thought sixteen amazing how time flies when you really like someone and enjoy them and of course love them. I really felt it was important for us to recommit to each other. I never take my relationship with my husband for granted. I hope down the road our paths will always be together, but you never know. The most important thing to me in a marriage is trust and communication. The same is true for friendships. I felt it was the right time for us to renew our vows. I have been renewing myself in so many ways, and I wanted to renew my vows with Mario.

Jill likes to have the best of everything. Anyone in business knows that Kodak is having huge and severe problems. I asked Jill a simple question about the business. I find it difficult to understand the way Jill has been acting lately.

i think you should apoligize to bethany who ever you are its not good to have a frenamy is it the only reason y you are saying cruel things to her is because you have a lack of confidence of your self so get a grip and stop being rude because its not nice and you would not like it if some1 was getting rude to you now would you

Ramona,

Did I hear you ( a professed and practicing Catholic) use the GD word last night as you shouted at Jill??

Ada Wilma Aponte

Ramona,

Time to go.........................PLEASE, watch your acid tongue.

You have a beautiful daughter, well manered, lots of poise.

Ramona - I think you did a terrific job on the runway! You looked beautiful! I was appalled at Jill's nasty, cutting comments on the show...behind your back I might add.

She was jealous that you were selected to model & not her!

Ramona, you are not a "re-newed" person. You keep saying means things and think that a simple "I'm sorry" will do it. You should consider therapy. You have a lot of issues!!!

Don't know why they call this 'the Real Housewives of New Jersey"? there is nothing "Real " About any of them.

Ramona i hate to say it but I swear you remind me so much of myself. We never co-sign on anything we don't agree with, we speak what we feel and by doing that we put of foot in our mouth. I do agree that you have to know when and when not to say things. I've learned through the years that the key to that is to think first then speak. Its like typing a letter and not proof reading it. You have to proof read what comes out of your mouth that way you don't find yourself apologizing for everything. If you're apologizing every other day you tend to come off as not being sincere about the crap that comes out of your mouth.

Romona, please think before you talk.

I think that you did great on the run-way! Being on "stage" is scary and you did it! You should be very proud of yourself!

Viewer Suzanne: eyelash mites? gross! Maybe we are meant to have them, as part of the food chain. if you got rid of them, what would the bed bugs eat? ;0)

Mario is one lucky guy!

To "Amazed". Your comments were so insightful! I hope Ramona reads your post and reflects on it.

Ramona - your daughter is the most gracious and self-possessed female on the show. She appears to be a lovely young woman. In contrast, your behavior is self indulgent and tiresome. We ALL have negative, critical, sarcastic thoughts that we find amusing, but somewhere earlier in life we were taught to keep those thoughts to ourselves. It might really be helpful if you seek out an effective counselor for assistance with your inpulsiveness and difficulty in relating to others.

Ramona, I feel you own up for the most part re your lack of filter. I mean, you talk about other people just as much as anyone else, but with you, it doesn’t stay there; it usually blasts out like Mt. Vesuvius. In these moments, it seems like you feels you’re being honest with what you’re saying, even if it’s hurtful, and even if it’s not even factual. And I appreciate that you usually apologize when warranted.
But there’s also something that (at least from the show) you don’t seem to consider as much, which is the fact that your counterparts (who are saying the exact same things) would NEVER say these things to someone’s face. Which is somtimes appropriate, esp. given some recent social situations. But it’s also hyprocritical, because they expect everyone to be honest with them (e.g., Luanne’s demanding this of Bethenny in the Hamptons, and then getting “scared” when Bethenny actually does).
I could be totally wrong about this, but I think there’s something that switches on (or off) in the perception of things, in that you feel it’s allowable to talk about something-- because everyone else is. You feel justified, because you feels it’s true. But your conspirators would NEVER join you, because they’d prefer to keep their hands clean. Whether appropriate or not, you air the greviance (maybe partly because in the back of her mind you realizes the others’ trash-talking might eventually air on the show), but moreso because I think you hope the others would have your back. But they never do. And I really don’t think they ever will.
I really wish you could work on your filter (without necessarily losing your honesty), and also perhaps realize that what the others are saying covertly a) might not be factual and b) they’re more than happy to let “crazy” Ramona be the scapegoat.

Sonja is definately jealous of Kelly....can't fool me!!!

Ramona I love you for your spontanaity...never know what what you ar going to say or do. I appreciate your efforts to try and reunite jill and beth and how you are trying to renew things in your life...your walk down the runway is memorable, embrace it honey, it was your first time-it couldnt have gone any better, you did not fall and even professionals do that. I also understand your tough skin and believe you developed it from your experience of abuse as I have. My friends say I am harsh but fair and I can see that in you, but there are a few times where you seem to be taking stabs at people and hope you can watch the show and kind of see where people may see or say that about you. Love how Mario lets you be you instead of controlling what yhou say or how you behave. Thank God you didnt repeat what you learned. Amen for that.
The countess is ridiculous pushing for an apology, I just wanted to change the channel everytime she brought it up. these women make mountains out of molehills. gheessszz.

Ramona,

Avery is becoming a very nice young lady. You and Mario have done a good job with her so regardless of what is said about you and your friendships, the way your kid turns out says a lot about your character. Good job

Amy, talk to Hulu if you have a problem with Plan B. This isn't the forum to wax religious. It's to give props and talk trash.

It would have taken more courage to say no to the runway and take a seat in the front row. Your role as an advisor would have been enough, but your desire to be the center of attention once again resulted in your metamorphosis into a cartoon character.

When will you learn to take a step back and not react to things that are not any of your business? I hope you are keeping up with the regular visits to the confessional. If you are then there is hope for you.

Hey Ramona! Okay, I get you. You are nice enough until your jealous streaks shines through then you want to cut someone off at the knees to bring them down to how you are feeling. You've been really hurt before. That is apparent. For true renewal... try to be kinder. When you have those spastic attacks on people trying to bring them down, it just looks so sad for you. Maybe therapy to get over your hurt??? I do think you are nice deep down... just a tortured soul.

I find it so funny that everyone else has problems and shouldn't be so sensitive when you tell it like it is, but when they stand up to you or say something to you, all bets are off. You are childish and rude. When you "say it like it is" you are expressing you opinion. Not fact. Get a clue and think about what you say and how you try to steal the scene with your ridiculous and boring behavior. When the show is focused on you, I fast forward. And to be honest, I'm this close to not watching the show at all.

Ramona,
The Plan B pill is one of the advertisers for your show on HULU. Could you do something about that? I can't continue to watch you if they remain your advertiser. I know you are Catholic, and I bet you didn't know about that.
-Amy

Your daughter should be proud of you for doing the runaway. You did something that took you totally out of your comfort zone and you showed off the dress beautifully. Isn't that the point of a runaway- to show the clothes- the dress was great for your body type. Yes you could filter a little bit what you say but Jill should of handled your comments better. She totally dished Alex's ability to produce the Brooklyn Fashion show so where does she come off critizing you for your question. It was nice that you tried to get bethnny and Jill together - it shows that you are not insecure lke Lu Ann. Next time put a muzzle and leash on Luann. She is awful. Keep looking inside and be better..great job.

Ramona,
You just wanna have fun! Do it! Who cares.... of what the fun-haters think. I think a lot of people take you the wrong way, because you are not a mean person at all. Everyone is just taking whatever you say this season wayyyyy too serious! Be YOU!

Ramona, congratulations for walk the runway, you gave us to all viewers a really funny moment, and your "fiuuu" at the end showed you so honest and lovely.
In my opinion you don´t have to try so hard to convince others that you are a nice girl. YOU ARE A NICE GIRL. Just be you, Miss Confident.
Just think it is not necesary to say things that hurts others, even though the things you want to say are true.

In my humble opinion, I think the way you blurt out remarks that prove to be hurtful and cause hard feelings is a result of the abuse you suffered as a child. If you were to reflect for a moment, verbal abuse is every bit as painful as physical abuse and disguising it as "speaking your mind" and "just being truthful" is just behaving like an abuser. You're a smart woman- learn the distinction and you'll find yourself in a happier place emotionally and have to apologize for yourself less.

I was laughing my heart out when I saw you on runway, but also grew to love you 100% more for your courage and honesty. Just learn to watch when you say hurtful things to people. not everyone is strong and thick skin as you and will get offended. If you could only keep that in mind I think you just might be the perfect girl! :)

Romona, All I have to say to you is, keep up the good work, you are a breath of fresh air this season and keep the change coming, it is a good change, you look lovely and this season you were wonderful. Keep it up.

I say "Good for you Ramona" walking that runway!! Well done!! That took guts....

ramona

I have an idea that do not see in any beauty products - that is cream or a eye tissue for eyelash mites. google them and because they are really harmless it really bugs me that they could be on my face. - let me know what your idea's might be

J'adore Ramona!!

I've liked Ms. Ramona since the first season. JZ was so rude to Ramona on Ramona's yacht party and at fashion show (ie: instigating crap with Joani on boat, snide remarks, etc.) that she was lucky that was all Ramona said to her! And at least Ramona said it to her face!

JZ and her goons are just jealous that they needed to marry someone or name drop some Z-lister to define or make something of themselves.

Love, love, love your breath of fresh hair. You speak as you see it, most of the time you are right on. I love that you say what 99.9999% of us watching you wish we had the Bravado to say ourselves!

Ramoma,
First, Please Post this, I adore Ramona, she is one of my favs.
I wanted to thank you for stepping up and at least making an effort to get Jill to understand where Bethenny was coming from. You held your ground with Countless LuAnn and Jill.And you put yourself out there for B, which was kind.
I am a lot like you and when I get nervous I tend to repeat things and blurt things out but luckily I have been married 18 years,too,and he is very kind and loving like your husband. Great watching you on the show this year.

Ramona,

I think you walking the runway was brave and you did it and didn't let fear hold you back. Anyone who insults you for that is ridiculous. You tried. There's no shame in trying. Good for you! I like your sillyness (if thats a word). Have fun and live life! Best wishes to you.

Ramona, Good for you to keep your commitment to walk the runway even though you were so nervous. It was funny, but human and that's why we love you. No airs about you, you keep it real. While I think you could have mentioned Kodak's state of business someplace other than the party, Jill was so rude to dismiss you with "you need to leave." What a diva, so dramatic!! You guys have been friends a long time, that is not respectful whatsoever. She was way overreacting to say she could lose her deal with Kodak because of your comment. Go Ramona!

Ramona ~

First of all I want to say this. Ramona, I think that no matter what people think of how you looked at that fashion show, whether good or bad, is up to them. I think it showed how much class and how much of a wonderful person you are just being there for whatever the cause may have been. You are a true team player no matter what the circumstance may be. My hats off to you!! Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again!! You looked wonderful!

I think you are awesome in being honest but, be careful with your honestly. People can take it the wrong way and some people may be hurt (this only applies to the ones you care about and the ones who's thoughts really matter to you). I really love how you are with people and how you try to put your best foot forward in whatever you do. Honesty is the best policy.

Love your hairstyle, whether short or long, you look wonderful. I think Mario and you are a very awesome couple and have a very strong relationship.

Team Ramona

Ramona,
I dont know what to say to you? I know its been months said you walked on the bridge with Bethenny, but how could you be so mean! If any of my friends ever acted like you did that day and said those type of things to me they would be HISTORY! You really need to stop and think before opening your mouth.

Ramona, I give you a lot of credit for walking the runway especially after Jill criticized your jewlery, etc. I think you were stressed and scared and you tend to open your eyes wide when that happens. It is from having a history of being abused. Don't apologize. You are one gutsy woman and a survivor. I know you got back at Jill because she hurt you but try not to let hurt and anger control you. Walk away when you're hurt. I think you are a wonderful person. Take care!

Ramona I think your new haircut looks great on you and it looks so much healthier, but do you have to mention it EVERY episode??

Ramona, love that necklace that you always wear on the shoe it looks like a silver cross, it's very pretty.Ramona you have changed for the better,and your husband loves it stay that way.Your runway walk was funny, you did it to help Alex out and that was very nice of you. Take care of yourself and your family.

Ramona, You are always saying that you say what you think...Maybe what YOU think just isn't that important.

Honey!
Even though you don't always know when to edit yourself, I do think you are genuine and ultimately a great person. I can't say the same for Jill or Luanne, who seem to enojoy creating and getting caught in all sorts of drama...I mean come on!! Those two need to go back to ninth grade. They would have lots more fun there I think....they are despicable.

Anyway...keep your chin up and your thighs tight sista!!
xo!

Ramona ignore those nasty posters. I happen to like you and bought 3 necklaces from you. You and Alex are my favorite housewives. You're a drama free person but not afraid to speak your mind. Keep it up. I persoanlly appreciate seeing a strong woman on tv who is successful. BRAVO TO YOU!

Thank goodness I have DVR so I can fast forward anytime you are on.

Ramona, I do not know you. But something struck me as I was watching a few episodes ago. You are extremely creative and brilliant. But you tend to just blurt things out like you are saying what you think at the moment you think it. I am not saying this to insult you, but I was wondering if you ever considered finding out if you have Asperger's syndrome. It is common for extremely intelligent and creative people like you. I can't tell you the amount of good it would do for people especially women and girls with Aspergers for a public figure to publicly acknowledge the condition. My daughter has Aspergers and you would be a great inspiration to her. Anyway, just a thought.

Ramona,

You say all you are doing is saying what you think, but some of what comes out of your mouth is very inappropriate and what you said to Bethenny was really cruel. It is good that you apologzed but that doesn't take away the hurt caused by your words.

As someone who grew up in a home with an abusive father you know how damaging verbal abuse is. It leaves scars. It seems like your heart is generally in the right place, but it is time for you to take a look at yourself and what issues from your childhood you still need to address so you don't end up hurting people you care about.

You are clearly a smart woman so there is no reason you can't express yourself more tactfully if you really wanted to.

Ramona, This is the first season I have watched you ladies. You all make my night when I watch. I love you the most. Keep saying what you feel. Maybe it will rub off on me. Keep up the laughs. Your my favorite

Love you & Bethanny!

I love the show, but ramona really needs to watch every eposide that she is in the way she was on the runway is how she acts the whole time on the show, she flips her hair, bobs her head and is the most rude, person...she doesnt want to hear things about herself or mario, but she can dish it out, she really doesnt think before she opens her mouth, i believe she is just evenious of the other women, she is very neg., when she is on the show my skin just crawls....I would not miss her is she wasnt on the show..

How could you say those cruel things to Bethenny on the Brooklyn Bridge? Have you no filter? APOLOGIZE!
