Romaon you are a good person do not let the other woman bring you down. Hope you learned not to go on stage anymore. hahaha.,

I love your Ramona. You were great last season and I am glad that they got Kelly who can be the nauty one - because you are too nice to be relegated to that role. Group dynamics are interesting that way.

I intend on checking out your line of products and you do look beautiful. I, like you, always wear a hat and have been since I was in my late 20s. I am early 40s now and people still think I am in my 30s. It is great that you can be a PR voice to women, telling them that simply taking care of their skin is the key to great skin.

Ramona,

You were obnoxious and offensive and in front of Luann's daughter. You said (when walking your dog) that you try to put people at ease, but you've never done that. You constantly offend everyone with your crass comments that are never thought through, or if they are thought through then you're just a mean spirited person. Luann might have been a little condescending with her comments about going out with multiple men, but your comment was just without purpose, except for you to lash out because you felt upset. If you lashed out like that in front of Luann's daughter without thought, shame on you. If you did such an inappropriate thing with forethought then, well you should just be shot (figuratively speaking, of course). You would never accept someone saying mean things about Mario in front of your daughter and yet, just because it's you being "honest", it's perfectly okay for you to act in this cruel way.

I just don't think Ramona meant to be hurtful to either LuAnn or Victoria. She was just stating what she saw. Honestly, the man does look much older than his wife. But I've been hearing that he's seeing another woman - just a rumor I heard. Anywho, the way LuAnn verbally attached Ramona did not fit into the realm of the class that the Countess feels she's an expert on. She told Ramona that she wanted to 'knock her head off'. Like Bethanny said...glass house waiting to get shattered.

First of all, I'd just like to say I found the perfect birthday gift for my sister on her True Faith Jewelry website. The designs re gorgeous and I love the locket I picked out. Ramona designs lovely pieces.

Secondly, we've gotten a chance to see the very practcal side of Ramona this year. I don't want it to seem like a negative comment, but Ramona truly is the most "practical." I think she moves and thinks at the fastest pace, so she doesn't slow down to express what she is thinking so she is seen as curt and rude.

I applaud her for making her family first and dedicating herself to her career. Her scenes with her husband and daughter show her softer side and I hope they show more of that this season.

Rock on Ramona!

Ramona, my husband is 18 years older. It happens and it happens to a lot of people. You like who you like.

Many women marry guys twice their age. As long as they are happy why was it your business Ramona? Attacking LuAnn's husband right in front of their daughter was rude, unclassy which makes you rude and unclassy. Don't blame LuAnn for hitting back, since she was absolutely within her right to and should (defending her husband in front of their daughter). You throw the punch first!

I know the series is taped, however, the few episodes with Mario, he's never wearing his wedding band. I won't waste my time with the bickering between Ramona and LuAnn, however, Ramona must show respect when children are present. My brother is king of reality shows, I asked if he ever watched, HWONYC, he said Ramona, talked to dang much. Enough Already!

On one of your episodes you wore a necklace that looked like a daisy. I think you had on an orange kind of a sundress. I did not see it on your line. I love daisies and saw you with it and I wanted one right away.????do tell!

i know we're past the premier of this episode but i'm nothing but aghast when i see how LuAnn treated Ramona in this episode! At one point LuAnn says, 'you're here to help...' when i think the subtext there could be translated as, 'you ARE the help. how dare you talk to me that way!' Ramona, you might have said what you thought and it may or may not have been appropriate but you were reacting to the way LuAnn was talking to you and it was inappropriate. I also applaud your honesty after the fact and your sincere apology for offending her. she over reacted and was at fault.

I also think it's fantastic that the show editors seem to edit the next interactive scene between LuAnn and Bethanny in a completely ironic way. LuAnn was SO rude to Bethanny and Bethanny took the high road at Hope Lodge. LuAnn thinks Bethanny is in the wrong and ends up doing herself everything she criticized Ramona for in the previous segment.

and while i'm here, can I just ask why, if LuAnn is writing an etiquette book, she continues to talk with her mouth full in every segment featuring her eating? it's gross.

Luanne's the worst. Funny how she just wanted Bethany to drop the airbrushing comment when she couldn't drop what Ramona factually stated about her old as dirt husband. Whats that called again? Pretty sure that's being a hypocrite, etiquette lady, woops , I mean Countess, your majesty , blah,blah, I don't care. Ramona, if your reading this, you rock with your crazy-eyed self.

Ramona,
I have just started watching the series. I can't believe that you think you are being an example to your daughter. You are insecure, petty and gossipy. You do exactly everything I teach my junior high girls not to do. It is sometimes painful to see your interactions. Maybe you should think about taking conflict resolution classes about fair fighting?

I have not had this strong of a reaction to someone on reality T.V. I hope, for your sake, that this is an act and they are making you look like the classic scapegoat b--ch that every show seems like they have to have cast. I hope there is more to you than the spoiled, bratty girl (not woman) I see. Maybe you should learn how to bite your tongue and proceed past the stage of egocentric development.

Whatever... publicity is always good, even when its bad. This will certainly help the HSN sales for you, hoping the stupid masses of our society believe that money can buy class.

I think your jealous of LuAnn. She is pretty and she is elegant and she knows how to behave. She acts like a lady. You try to act like a teenager which your not. You seem to think your all that but your not. Sure you look good for your age but your not that great. As for LuAnn's husband maybe he is a little older but who cares and whose business is it anyways! It was very rude of you to say what you said. You need to learn when to shut up! You even said it in front of their daughter you should be ashamed.

really Ramona I just think you are a hypocrite and miss know it all. Just because some people do not think the way you do or live their lives like you, does not give you the right to judge others. You always complain that certain people have no depth or manners but it is always you running your mouth, acting and dressing like a 17 year old and bragging about yourself. To me a classy woman has humility, does not hurt a friends feelings, or talk behind ones back and make others feel comfortable, which you claim you do, but really you don't! When i watch you, i am reminded of the catty teens in high school always comparing, gossiping, and making othes feel worthless. Maybe a little humble pie is in order. I may not be high society, but i do know how to be just a nice person regardless. I think some self reflection is in order for you, and a little less time stating your opinions about others lives.

Please Ramona, you are the one with no substance...everyone knows this...let us be frank...probably Bethany and Alex are the brightest...LuAnn and Kelly are classy...Jill is the one with heart...and you are simply mean. Why? It is such an unattractive quality.

I LOVE THIS SHOW.....I LOVE ROMONA.....SHE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS...POINT BLANK!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Just didn't know where you were coming from with the comment. As LuAnn stated, you were in a cancer care facility, so why are you talking about the age of someone's husband. Your comments/demeanor really declared how shallow you are. You might not think you are but you are very confrontational in a not-too-good way.

I thought it was in poor taste for LuAnn to go on and on and on and on and on.....about your "twice as old" comment in the presence of cancer survivors and those battling cancer. Who cares? It was girl talk and a harmless inaccurate remark. There were women present in the room who are fighting for their lives praying to live to be "twice as old". Give me a break.

I think Luann thinks she is God's gift! Her husband is an older man and she needs to face it. I don't think she has the best manners and class either. I hope she learned "class" from the person who wrote her book for her.

Ramona,
My girlfriends and I were cheering for you when you let LuAnn have it. You only spoke the truth, but "the Countess" is used to people telling her what she wants to hear, which is not necessarily the truth. So what, her husband is older. Does she really think people don't notice that? It was clear that she was condescending to you prior to your comments, and I don't blame you for giving her a dig back. It was well deserved, and her reaction was so revealing about her character. Keep telling it like it is...we love you for it!

I find it very funny that some persons comment on Ramona's bad manners and immaturity, and then go on to throw a punch at her by stating that she looks way older than her husband..which u know is not true.

Ramona- Keep telling it like it is, there needs to be some compensation for Luanne's fake smiles and self-righteous behaviour.

Ramona, Its so obvious that you don't like it when others have what you want,or don't have,Luanne has an inner Grace and beauty that is admirable.YOU on the otherhand look rediculas ripping others to shreds while wearing a crucifix the size of your ego.OBVIOUSLY,its just jewelry to you.

Ramona,

You let the "countess" off way to easy. She was horrible to you and disrespectful of the people/place she was in. You graciously apologized and yet she wouldn't let it go. You showed more class than that bitch could ever hope to have!

She was horrible to Bethenny too. I hope she isn't on the show next year. Bethenny let her off to easy also.

Ramona,

Your my least favorite of all the housewives. Your obnoxious. You think your better than anyone else & your not. I think you should think before you speak. LuAnn should have thrown you out of Hope Lodge. It's o.k to have an opinion. You should think things through before it comes out of your fat mouth.

LuAnn should have apologized to you for going off on you.. Her husband does look alot older than her. And for someone who supposedly is writing a book on etiquette should learn how to act with some class. She was totally off base..

Ramona,
All of the cast of the RHWONYC are noveau riche, and have no idea of what class or refinement for that matter. You take the cake with Bethenny. Just because Luann is a Countess (and you guys it shows it makes you jelaous, dont know why). One thing is telling what how it is, and another one is being petty and caddy. Please both Bethenny, you and all the cast please show more class-if you lack it, please read up.
Sincerely.

How does commenting on someones age relate to " making a negative comment about one's spouse"? Age is a fact, not a flaw! I would also imagine that LuAnn's teenage daughter would realize the ages of her parents, also a fact.

Hi Ramona-I do believe LuAnn definitely attacked you first by belittling your opinion, so you were basically honest right back. Now here is where the truth definitely hurt, since LuAnn completely lost it. Her reaction only proved that your observation was correct, she married an older man & she couldn't believe you actually said it out loud. If someone said that about your husband, Mario - I'm sure you would have laughed it off since it has no basis in truth. But LuAnn's reaction demonstrated how much it actually bothers her and she just lashed out at you unfairly since she knows perfectly well others around her have made the same silent assumption.

OK....I'm not really a countess.
R-You are one of my faves on the show. I love people who speak their mind. If anyone over-reacted about the older husband thing it was the countess. (Hopefully, she isn't serious about writing a book about manners, because she is seriously lacking in that dept.) I thought you handled it very well. Take it easy on Simon...he may be a bit odd, but
aren't we all in our own way.

Ramona, Just wanted you to know I too got married at 27 to a man in his 40's and there's nothing wrong with it. Love is love and it doesn't see age. I would have reacted the same way LuAnn did especially since her daughter was present. You don't make negative comments about one's spouse!

Ramona,

You have really grown on me this season. You're my favourite!!! Keep it up, girlfriend.

Ramona,

You keep telling it like it is. If more people talked back to "The Countess" (please, who cares)maybe she would realize how silly she sounds. She and Simon should hook up. Those two are so full of themselves it's boring. I leave the room to get myself something to drink, use the facilities or whatever, when either one of them are on. I can't wait for the next episode. You and Bethany are my favorites.

Ramona,

Watch the series and see the way your husband react to other women.... Just watch.

Ramona,
You seem to have extensive knowledge of the best creams and facial moisturizers to keep your face/skin looking young. As a man, can I use the same products that you use to do the same? If so, would you be willing to share with me what you use? If not, can you tell me what men should use?

Ramona you are hilarious. I am always entertained at the things you say & do. I will not judge you because you truly say exactly what on your mind. If they really want a truthful answer or opinion, they will come to you for sure. If they want BS they can go to B who constantly overthinks situations.

Hi, Ramona

I love your crosses and would like to start a collection of my own. How would I order them

Thanks
Tammy

Hi Ramona,
I posted before, but it was not put up. I just wanted to say that I really like your jewelry, and I think that it is a great concept. I just would like to see more turquoise, it is my favorite, and it is really big right now, you should try to incorporate more!

I find it interesting that LuAnn was insulted by Ramona's comment about her husband being older -- even if "twice her age" was an exaggeration. Such a comment could only be insulting if someone thought it was a bad thing to be older -- or to have a significant age difference between spouses. If LuAnn is really okay with the age difference and is not so superficial as to think age -- or looking old-- is a bad thing, then why be insulted by the comment? Or, why not take it as a compliment that you look so very young that it appears your husband is so much older when that is not the case? LuAnn is arrogant, condescending and judgmental -- not characteristics I admire at all. Give me Ramona any day!

I was suprised at your response on the issue with Jill about the arthritis charity. If your daughter has Rheuma--something (as you put it) I would think you would do everything you can as she is indeed has a lifelong struggle ahead of her. You only need to think things through before you respond, otherwise you, like the rest are "intersting" individuals.

Ramona,

Your honesty policy that you shoot from the hip, or tell it like it is seems to get you into trouble. You spend much time sepressing whatever unsuppressed thought pops into your limited mind, then spend much time apologizing for the reckless comments. It might behoove you to consider thinking before speaking.

The age thing that surfaced is funny in a way because you look over 50 while Mario looks under 40...

did anyone notice her dancing all alone and quite awkwardly at the social life party.
love you ramona, keep me laughing

I like all the housewives for different reasons, giving luann a taste of criticism was great to watch because she did the same thing to bethany but I do think you should have said it without her daughter being in the room. But Kudos to you, I think you are awesome and keep striving to the top!!

I am glad you told LuAnn off... however, the conversation and comments should never have started / been made in front of her daughter.

Seriously were you not embarrassed by your blind conversation with the governor? It was in poor taste.

I love this show. I use it to teach my daughters that money can't by class or manners. Even The Countess has TERRIBLE manners. Book deal? How funny.

Ramona,
I absolutely think you are a ball to watch. Between you and Jill it's a blast to watch. I love you both. Keep up the good work. You have such a beautiful daughter. Why would you choose to only have one child? Why don't you plan to have one more???

I don't think Luann would have reacted the way she did to your advice to Betanny or your comment about her husband if her daughter were not in the room. Obviously she did not agree with the advice you were giving Bethanny on how to handle men..but I don't think it had as much to do with Bethanny as it did with Victoria. I think Luann was defending her values and thoughts on dating for the sake of her daughter's ears. If Victoria were not there it would have been a different scene. My opinion for what it is worth.

Dear Ramona,

You bring excitement to the show, to say the least. You have a great family.

I would just suggest to you to think about what you are going to say before opening your mouth. You surely can think what you like, however, use caution when verbalizing. It can cause tremendous hurt feelings that may never be resolved.

Lastly, you look so much better showing less cleavage and still look sexy.

Stay happy and healthy!

Everyone is upset with your remarks to LuAnn but I can't believe the conversation you had with the Mayor. To quote Jill: "I wanted to die".

Hi! Ramona, I have to say that you are the most humble housewife. you are genuine, i have never heard you talk about your designer clothes,jewlery,houses...etc. I enjoy watching you. I do not think that you were out of line with Luann, she could have handled that situation alot better. but i do feel for Victoria, because we love our parents unconditionally. In describing you all, you are the Humble one, Jill is the giving one, Bethanny is needy, Luann is self righteous, and Kelly is the self absorbed one, and last but not least Alex is the Inauthentic one. but all us fans have to agree you all are Entertaining!

Ramona - you were right. The countess was wrong. You handled it well when she was freaking out. I'm glad we're getting to know you better this year.

Whoever made the comment about Ramona's dancing and Elaine's from Seinfeld....GENIOUS!!! RAMONA NO MORE DANCING PLEASE!!!......Maybe the weird dancing caused the eye situation...either that or just too much botox maybe???
