Forget, But Don't Forgive

Sonja talks Yenta-ing, plastic surgery, motherhood, and Alex's "harsh words."

April 29, 2010

 

Well Bravo TV viewers, I have to thank you. I can't tell you how happy it makes me feel to have so many women come forward and say they identify with me and with the ups and downs of juggling motherhood and dating! Follow me on Facebook and Twitter!

SO ... I was screaming when Jill said LuAnn and I were out Yenta-ing her. How funny! And we really were. I couldn't stop my mouth. I was excited for Bethenny that she was pregnant, but also nervous because I did miscarry myself, and three months is early. I also felt the tension between Jill and Bethenny lingering, so I tried to make light of it and say Bethenny was hormonal and we should cut her some slack. I truly did deal with postpartum depression and no one pointed it out to me, and when you are in it you don't know. I figured it out later on my own. Long story.

I felt sick for Bethenny and Jason when the news of the pregnancy got out. At the same time I'm wondering, how did it get out? Who did they tell that leaked it? I like the way he communicates with Bethenny. He is really in touch with his feelings.

I was dying watching Jen and Jill at the Friars Club. Who is the member? Jen can't get a word in edgewise so let's just see if she delivers at the ice skating party. Jen looked professional and beautiful.

I always run around in gym clothes, great excuse and you never know when you can catch a yoga class. I have to admit when I showed my pooch to Dr. Bellin, you all must think I'm crazy, because it really doesn't look so bad! Honestly, I am very happy with my body, but I just wanted to be rid of the roll that came over the top of my jeans and popped the buttons out on my shirts. Dr. Bellin doesn't put you under anesthesia (risky for a mom), but I didn't have to recover for a week. Just two days after the surgery I was out to lunch with Ivana. I know Dr. Bellin will make sure I get the best results, no matter what. Ramona is a killer! She asked Dr. Bellin when he was board certified! 1973! He was shocked with her frankness, but I thought his responses were charming. His work speaks for itself, but I felt better with Ramona's examination of the situation!

Sonja, you are so wonderful, the sweetest, dearest friend to everyone. I hope you are there every season because you are finally one person with a sense of balance in her life and thinking, and you are also so kind. I know you are aggresively "out there" with sex and sexuality, however you are truly a humble person and it is so impressive and very rare in this show.

Sonja, omg....where to begin? I was so tickled when you came to open the door for Luann, with coffee cups and that cute little black purse....exclaiming...you were alone, your housekeeper was not there...I thought it was too cute that you had to carry your purse to the kitchen to get coffee cups, perhaps because it was not a familiar place for you to travel, and thought you might need your purse to be prepared...I wonder if anyone else caught that? it was just too cute... it's nice to see someone who stays neutral and can fit in with all of the characters of the show..not trying to be ugly, but, I really am not sure if Kelly fits into this group at all, and her high pitched voice is so annoying....when she says....."HIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE"....what is that about? it's like, (kellytalk), seriously a soprano voice on steroids....it is just annoying...I am sure she is a good person, but, I don't think the show benefits from either her or this new person, Jennifer....the party planner? her drawn out HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII makes me instantly think she is fake....when anyone takes 2 minutes to say Hi, it is not a good sign of sincerity...I think she is corny and uses worn out phrases, such as, "Rock on with your big bad self"...are you kidding me? let's say it together....."Corney" ok...hope you stay on the show...

Really, it so difficult to take a broom and dust pan and clean up your garden before you expect a guest. I guess when it's the hired help's day off nothing much gets done. Money can't buy common sense it seems. gross

Stay away from Jill and Luann-----they are full of very bad energy!!

Love you Sonja! So glad you are on the show! Don't change!!!!! I really do like all the girls! They are a fun bunch! Some are crazier than others or maybe just self absorbed, but who doesn't have issues. I just love this show! New York Housewives is my favorite show and love the ladies!!

Louise

HEJ SONJA! So nice that you are on the show, fresh and intelligent , awful to watch grown women fighting like that, they are still in the sandbox? Jill and LuAnn with books?, they can't behave themselves ? Kelly much nicer this season though, Bethanney what can I say, she talks too much, its coming out like verbal dia.... Alex is the nicest human great calm woman, Sonja I would love to have a friend like you, Sincerely Mimi a Scandinavian

Hej! Sonja! Great that you are on this saeson, the other women are complete trainwrecks, awful to watch none stop fighting, they are still in the sandbox.....Ramona needs prof. help big time, she is very very sick,- Mario what are you doing about it???cant you see? your daughter can???? and Jill and Lu-Ann telling how to do via books, you must be kidding ?? they are both awful, Jill and Lu-Ann, (dont wear chiffon for christmas?) are you for real? They all have behavior problems ...okay Kelly is doing better this time around less nasty,
alex is the nicest and most human, and her husband he could not do any harm....he is a nice guy, maybe he should stop drinking so much, I can see it in his face more and more????? but it is nice to watch you sonja ...fresh for the show, the show needs you for sure and Jen too, great women, sincerely Mimi a scandinavian!! P.S Sonja! I would love to have a girlfriend like you!!!

Sonja, I like you so much! I hope you become good friends with Bethenny and Alex. They are the most honest people on the show. I also like Ramona and I know you are already friends with her. She can be crazy but she's usually a straight shooter.My friends and I think you make a great foursome!

You are so classy. I'm glad you are on the show this season!

your a breath of fresh air for this show you definitly bought a different element thats was missing. And i love how honest and upfront you are about sex...why did Kelly and Luanne get wierd its not like you were describing positions just a conversationg topic.

Darn Girl-- use a hair brush!!!!!!

Sonja, i have to say you know your always leary of the new girl on the block but, i to agree with how refreshing your diplomacy is. You are the peacemaker and your fun. I know why im digging you..you are from Saratoga...wooohooo a togian. I was raised in Saratoga so, very excited you gave the shout out Saratoga.Have you been back? much has changed, its beautiful.

Me encanta!! Sonja tiene clase, es chic!, es muy linda, y graciosa, por ella veo nuevamente mi serie favorita The Housewives,,, besos

THANK GOD for you on the show. It's so refreshing to have a a genuine good hearted person on the show. I love that you don't take sides and look towards the positive.
You are my absolute favorite. Sag's really are the best people.
You are nothing but class.

I thought your comment about Michael Jackson was really snarky and rude. His nose did not fall off- read the autopsy report.
Show some respect-he's dead.

Sonja, I want to be exactly like you when I grow up. Although I'm in my mid 40's, you have protrayed yourself the way I would like to be when I become of age. You look wonderful, your smart, intelligent, classy/stylish, rich, and clarivoyant about life. It's no wonder how younger men want to be with a woman like yourself. You know what you want...and not afraid to obtain it! Continue living your life as you see fit and not letting anyone or drama get in the way. You and Alex have a life...the rest need one too...including getting a job because they have too much time on thier hands unlike you!

My motto is "I want to be like Sonja when I grow up!"

Rocket it girl!

you are stunning both inside and out,, thanks for being so classy and elegant,,, you make the other women look like wobble heads who talk non stop,,,, i love how intelligent your comments are,, you have poise and its refreshing,,, i really appreciate you being on the show

Sonja, you are awsome! Obviously your wealth hasn't stopped you from being real. You are honest about yourself which is really refreshing. As far as Bethenny, she has become a celebrawhore. I am amazed she had tried to be employed on Martha Stewart's reality show several years ago because her apartment is so plain and boring. No style whatsoever. Also, who would stand naked in front of a camera and the entire NY City or sit on a toilet to pee if she didn't want the world to know everything about her. I think she is the one who leaked her pregnancy.

You are a refreshing addition to the cast.You see situation from both sides. I often get annoyed with the ladies when all they see is what fits them or what they want to see.I also like Alex's and Bethenny's friendship. You, Alex, and Bethenny are now the reasons I watch.

Sonja, you are a breath of fresh air. You are so sweet and empathetic to the other women, realizing their joys and understanding their issues. It was so great to hear your "Let's be understanding that Bethenny is now planning a wedding and pregnant" comment, instead of the way most of the cast took at is a personal offense that she hadn't told them. It's pretty obvious that someone at BRAVO leaked the news, because every woman knows you're not supposed to share that information until 3 months or later. It's not a matter of superstition, it's a matter of Bethenny is a size 0 and in her late 30s. Guys aren't aware of how many women miscarry apparently, it's pretty common.

Boy is your diplomatic, empathetic attitude refreshing. I really hope you are able to keep it as you get in the middle of the continual cat fights! Try to take the higher road and remember THE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU! : )

Sonja, Nice to see you in the group. You have a fresh honest view. Stay the way you are - honest, kind and real.

Who did Bethenny and Jason tell about the PG that spilled the beans? I would guess it was no one. The entire RHONY crew knew about it. So did the producers, the executives, their assistants and any of those people could have slipped it to Perez Hilton. Bethenny may not have been thrilled with the story leaking out, but I guarantee you that everyone at Bravo was very happy about it. Suggesting that it was Bethenny and Jason's fault is snarky.

God I love you!!!!!!!!! Thank god you are on this show now! You are definitely my favourite housewife. Stay kool and be yourself! Muah! Love from Tulsa. Sebastien

I like you. Please do not change. Keep away from Jill she is beneath you. I think LuAnn (sp?) is nicer around you but becomes a very different person around Jill. If you cannot tell, I do not like Jill - never did.

I love that you have a psychic! That is great and so honest! I prefer you over Kelly and LuAnn - I feel like you were truly well raised - GOd! You should do a book - the 'Countess' has no class in comparison to you! You are the result of a good upbriging please continue to set the good example you do.

ps: you so do not need surgery ..... you look great!

PPS: please do not gossip with the others ...... keep it light the show needs it and again, you teach others how to behave - at least I think you do.... and I need a mentor - lol! I am good most of the time but I can always improve!

i really don't undrestand some of you guys who love love love Sonja !! don't get this the wrong way I don't hate her, but I didn't get know her enough to love love love her !!!! it been 2 episodes only !!!! let's wait and SEEEE !!!!

It's tough being the new girl on the block. I think you need to show us more of YOU. I hope you replace Kelly and she goes off in Kelly Land...

I can see the tension between you two...what's up? You like her or no?

I think I like you. Your comments are refreshingly honest and not tainted with guile and pettiness. Even though you are in the middle of the tornado you write from a very objective viewpoint and to be quite frank thats a quality I appreciate in anyone. I just hope you keep on this path and not turn into screaming, classless banshees like Jill and Luann.

doctors don't have to re-certify if they got their original certification before 1976...so while it might seem like a long time to the 'average joe,' your doctor is in good standing. just thought i'd pass along the information. love your viewpoints on the show!

Sonja I LOVE YOUR HOUSE! OMG the dining room with the de Gournay wallpaper and your garden out back. We need a tour of your townhouse

Sonya, Breath of fresh air is RIGHT! I enjoy your light, funny take on things and so far you haven't shown the super-ego headcase persona the other (exception Alex) ladies have developed. Your all wealthy Manhattan socialites, we get it, you won't have to shove it down our throats. Just amuse us - so far, so good!

Sonja:

you seem to be the only one on the show that has a clue - I love it!!! You are so spot-on when you said Sagittarians forget, but they don't forgive. Forgiveness takest too much effort, LOL!!!! I have better things to do with my time :0)

YOU are making me smile in each episode! The realness is obvious but you know what is the surprising part? You have a true innocence and a non-cautionary personality. PLEASE watch Jill since she's the opposite: jaded with an agenda.
LOVE you as the new girl!

i like the way you are able to see what the housewives do when it is hurtful but that that doesn't stop you from seeing the good things as well!

You're the reason I'm watching RHONY again!

It is so much fun and so refreshing to see a woman embracing her fabulosity the way that you do. I really love that you seem to have it together in that despite your obvious privilege, you're still very much in touch with reality and seem to have your priorities straight.

You have a marvelous zest for life and I really look forward to seeing you more!

Your post was very nice to read and quite diplomatic. The new girl on the Real Housewives series always have a hard time. I hope you enjoy your time and you are as positive by the middle of next season as you are now!

Do you think about anything other than sex?

Could it have been someone in the Doctor's office who leaked the pregnancy news to the Perez Hilton creep?

Sonja I love love love your view on life. I hope they give you more air time, that little squabble between Jill and Bethany is getting old, talk about turning a mole into a mountain! Be careful of Jill though, she seems to have been bitten by the green eyed monster when it comes to you. Stay sassy and beautiful love!

I was really prepared to not like you but you are terrific! I can identify with you on so many levels as I'm newly divorced myself & loved the segment when you were with Kelly and Luann talking about sex. I laughed so hard because it is so true!

You make no apologies for who you are and come off graciously. Can't wait to see more.

Sonja,
I enjoy watching you. I love to garden and I thought your garden was beautiful. I also loved the segment with you and your psychic.

You really are classy, dignified and sweet. however, that said, do try to speak your mind more without backing up every comment with something sweet and understanding. please don't be afraid to stir things up a little. Yes, your in it for the fun, but we are watching for the fun, and its no fun with no drama at all. Hope to see more of the real you soon. There seems to be very deep waters there, and we've only just gotten our feet wet!

hi sonja, you are by far the best housewive ever. you really make me laugh. you really know how to stay optimistic/positive no matter what and that's what i like the most about you. don't let anything/anyone take that away from you. that's why, as you said - "you're the straw that stirs the drink!" but the good thing is that you stir it with humour, positiveness, and calmness. you really are a great addition to the cast! i wish you my best!

Sonja, so far I like you...but the jury isn't out yet. I use to like Luanne and Jill~ not so much this season :) don't get wrapped up with those two. I look forward to seeing you on the show more!

Love love love you! Keep it real!

Sonja
Yo have such a sweet spirit and you seem to be very open and honest. Not that you don't know; but beware of Jill!!! she does not like anyone more prosperous than she is.

Please, Please Please - you could not find anyone else to speak ill about except Michael Jackson - not a class act lady, not at all.

So tell me Sonja, when is your book coming out??

I like you, you seem to be real. I like the fact that you appear to be a "Great Listener". Most of your co-stars like to talk but NEVER listen to what they say and it comes back to hurt them. Good luck this season!

Welcome Sonja,
I don't know if you have watched past seasons and the beginning of this season but, hold on to your seat. These ladies can be so brutal to one another at times. This season is the worst. They all have good in ther heart but this season the good has sometimes been clouded with cattiness, grudges, gossiping, mean girl spirits and other high school attitudes. You don't seem to have that in you. I hope not. Don't let them bring you to that. New York ladies that have the lifestyles you all have are not suppose to be that way. And you are mothers that are suppose to set a good example for your children. Some of what I have been seeing with these ladies is not the way they should be showing their children that this is the way you should treat people who are suppose to care about, people who are your friends. Believe it or not, the viewers don't want to see that every week.
