Owning Up

Ramona dicusses her fight with Jill, Sonja's party, and the backstabbing amongst the ladies.

May 12, 2011

I really must give models a lot of credit. It is really hard to look natural, relaxed, and smile when the photographer asks you. That is why I wanted Sonja there. She always puts the biggest smile on my face and makes me so happy whenever she's around!

I now have four product lines that I am very proud of: True Faith, HSN, Tru Renewal, and, last but not least, Ramona Pinot Grigio. Magazines and press are always asking for photos of me with my products and not just the products alone. So, I chose Andrew Coppa to photograph me. He not only does many celebrities, but he also does great products shots. I was really happy the way it all came out. Please see all the photos on my website.

Now, onto the backstabbing and nastiness of some of the women -- and it's only going to get worse. My stomach is turning now as I recall it all. What is with Cindy saying, "Her core is not good"? Is she becoming like Jill and talking behind my back now too? What's with all of them? Can't they just say it to your face? I am the one who introduced Cindy to everyone, so I would say that makes my core pretty good. What surprised me more is how Jill jumped in and added all of her negative comments about me to Cindy. What is up with that? Maybe Cindy will figure it out eventually, but until that happens I am staying away from her.

I, for one, really enjoy creating new businesses. Some women like to lunch or shop. . .I love business! I was so excited to launch my Ramona Pinot Grigio at Serafina. The owners are Italian and know great wine! They are carrying my pinot in all of their restaurants including Geisha and Cognac in NYC.

Ramona, Is something going on with you? Are you okay? Why couldn't you have simply talked to Jill. You should have heard both sides of the story before you overreacted. Compose yourself woman! Don't act so insecure, it's a terrible look for you. Perhaps you should have taken Jill up on her offer to have a 3-way conversation between you, Jill and the newly-wed woman.

Love you Ramona! You and Alex are the only ones I like this season (and last year too!)

Huh? Weren't you the one tearing Cindy a new face for her "kid" party?

You and I and a whole bunch of other people know that Jen exaggerated. Why put the blame on Jill? What a classless way to confront someone at a public place. Jill was the victim here, not you.

Ramona you rock. The brunettes are nasty to watch and I know that many on the IHJZ blog can't stand Jillous, Kookoo, Doorstop, and LuMann. The show has taken an ugly turn and you would do well to distance yourself from the quartet of dark haired witches. Now they are insinuating that you are an alcoholic. Stay strong and true to yourself, because those witches are digging their own graves.

Team Ramona! Jill is an out and out liar and Luann needs to stay out of your business. And what can I say. Cindy is a traitor and she will discover her mistake if she ever disagrees with Jill about anything. You have a lot going for you and do not need these "wannabees."

ramona you are always telling luann not to get involved, you also need to tell alex and sonja as well.

whatever..people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

Ramona, don't let the other women get you down. I kept having flash backs of last season when classless I mean the countess kept telling Bethenny she couldn't be her friend if she was going to talk about people behind their backs. That seems to be all that she and Jill are doing this season. I guess they don't have Bethenny to knock down so they picked you. All their snide remarks about your drinking aren't fooling anyone. It's funny how Kelly keeps talking about your drunken, threatening text. It was easy to see that your text was neither. Don't let them get you down. We love you.

Ramona, you are at heart a good person and that comes across on the show. Jill and Cindy in particular have shown themselves to be untrustworthy people. Luann comes across slightly better, but she is joining in with the "behind the back" gossip this year. You may need to keep seeing these people because of the show (unlike Bethenny who was able to escape and enjoy her life). If you have to be with them (Jill, Cindy and Luann), maybe you should see a counselor to figure out how you can stay calm despite their back-stabbing

Ramona, I think you are a sweet person inside, and I can see beyond your occasional yelling and ranting to the vulnerable and kind heart that you have. Don't let the rude women bring you down, they are merely jealous of your success.

Ramona, why wouldnt you want to discuss the details of producing your wine? That was the purpose and focus of the party, was it not?

omg let the betheny issue go you and jill have done the same things to eachother get over it

u rock!!! F Jill and whats the other ones name "countess"... New money both of them!!

Ramona, I just love you!!!

Ramona, I just love you!

Good for you, standing up to Jill. I am not sure I would have done it at the party, but better to say things now then to hold onto them all night. Also, Jill counts on being able to meet later in private so she can fake smile and pretend she did nothing wrong. Your direct confrontation and Jennifer's refusing to be out-shouted or manipulated put Jill's nastiness in the spotlight so couldn't get away with lying about what she did and pretend to be everyone's best friend. I am sure alot of her friends are questioning her loyalty after the past seasons.

Congratulations on growing your business and growing your brand! You work hard and deserve success.

Ramona, You did not attack Jill this episode, you just caught her in the BS she stirs up all the time. Good for you calling her on it. She is now blaming her BS on your Pinot drinking.

Ramona, I think you are great, you are "who you are" and make no apologies about it. The more this season unfolds, we see that Jill has not really changed...just her targets are different now that Bethenny is gone. Also, Luanne is so jealous of you and your success, she looks for opportunities to "appear smart" when if fact she can not hold a candle to your business savvy. I like seeing you and Sonja together, it is nice to see how you support one another. You should be proud of all your accomplishments, don't let Luanne bully you! Be well!

Ramona, do you want to really know why you are our favorite HW? It's because you are honest, a great business woman, real friend to people and a great wife and mother. You have mastered a balance of all the things that make for a great HW. Jill is not happy and tries to bring others down. She doesn't build anyone up but herself. She truly is self absorbed and if she likes the "underdog" it is only because she feels the are inferior to her. Peace and love to you. It's Turtle Time!!

Ramona I love you. You are high strung so to some you may come off as a little in your face. I love how much fun you always seem to be having, unless fighting with the others. You are a great business woman and inspiring to young women. I think you are right about Jill, Luann and Cindy. Jill talks down about everyone and criticizes the events they host. Not every event has to be a grand ball, people can have more casual cocktail parties. Everyone at Sonja's party seemed happy except for Jill. Luann just because your boyfriend is into wine that does not make you an expert. She was just about grilling you at your fuction it was crazy. Cindy always has a puss. To say someone is bad in her core is just very cold. Ramona all you can be is yourself. The one thing I will say and I hope you dont take offense is maybe take some meditation classes or some type of anger managment. I'm not saying you were wrong for being angry or upset, but I think you will benifit from more calming discussions in more approprate places then letting your emotions getting the better of you. When you confront them in front of others and get too emotional you give them a target to say see Ramona's the one acting crazy, though they are the ones stiring the pot.

Love you! You are so right with Bethenny gone who does poor Jill and the Countess of Snob Luann have to beat on? It appears they have chosen you, but they are no match for you girl.

You are fantastic & a great role model for those that would like to be in the business world. Do not mind the other caddy women. They need a job or a hobby. I love that you're so real! More power to you and your pinot grigio! It's ridiculous that Luann, Jill, & Kelly are instigating that you have a drinking problem. Who needs enemies when you have friends like them. Keep on being you, & go kick their butts! :)

LOVe, love, love you Ramona for calling it how it is! I couldn't agree with you more. No one is perfect and you readily admit that, perhaps the other housewives should follow your lead!

xoxoxo You're the best!

All of the women I know, who watch the show, love you! The other housewives (Cindy, Jill, Luann and Kelly) are just jealous! You have not changed and I have been watching from the beginning. Remember how they ganged up on Bethenny? They seem to want to attack the most successful. Don't let them bother you, just keep on being true to who you are!

From the beginning you have always 'kept it real.' It is sad to me how Jill's jealousies continue to cause her to backstab those who have cared about her most, first Bethenney and now you with LuAnn always whispering and smirking. We ladies are this rep beginning in grade school and to see it played out with always saddens me. It is why you and Alex will always be my faves. Both say to someone's face what you think and are willing to listen and work out differences. Evidence? You, Alex and Bethenney are having the success .... financial and more importantly personal.

Ramona, You are terrific. I think Jill and Luann have decided to make it look like you're drinking too much, they have a plan that you'll be the bad guy this year. Don't worry, the fans love you and always will!!!!

Hang in there Ramona, everyone shall soon see the mean girls for what they are...bullies!

Ramona, I love you! You will say what you need to people's faces and not behind their back. Keep being who you are!

Ramona,

These girls are ganging up on you in such a transparent way. It's hard to ignore it, actually. You are one of the only "real" housewives left. I say you keep your head up and keep doing what you're doing. This reminds me of jealous attacks on Bethenny or NeNe because of their similar success.

Love you Ramona for your authenticity!

Love you Ramona. You are a hot ticket. Your husband seems to enjoy your sense of humor and spirit and I do too. Keep on putting those phonies in their place.

Love ya Ramona. It seems almost everyone is out to throw you under the bus. Keep your head up and Mario at your back.

Team Ramona, we love you. Stick with Alex and you two will be just fine. Everyone can see what Jill, LuMann, Kelly and Cindy are up to. Jill is digging that grave deeper and deeper.

Keep up doing what makes you happy..... Leave the "Jill" behind... she brings nothing but... jealousy.

Ramona, you rock! Yes, people's true colors do show. I can't stand to look at Jill after last season. It is very obvious they are out to get you. I don't know what crawled up LuAnn in the off season, but she's not being very etiquette-like when she is constantly talking down about all of you. disgusting! Keep your chin up....many of us love you!

Ramona, I don't think anything is wrong with you besides your baby has moved out. That would make anyone a little depressed. I admire the kind of woman you are in business and in real life. Don't let these other women dig on you....Keep your head up ,as you have MORE going on than any of the others combined! Just push Jill and the other naysayers to the side and live your life like you want to. Many regards....P Wo

Ramona,You rock lady.Ya might have gone with impulse,I think your just done with the phonies.Jill said she's changed I think she's exactly the same.A very unhappy woman.Stay true to yourself & true friends.Say hello & congrads to beth on her great news.

Ramona I love you dont let Jill and Cindy get the best of you. Love your friendship with Alex

Love you Ramona. You totally rock. "Jillasy" Jill needs to come to terms that she aint all that. Who asks the bride why they invited so and so and etc... on their wedding day or ever.

thank you couldn't have said it better!!

Ramona...you are the best! I dont see why everyone has been all over you lately in the episodes shown, but as I am watching it, I dont see that you have changed in a negative way at all. If anything, you seem sweeter and much more supportive and helpful! I think Cindy and Jill are trying to divide friendships from the way it looks, but it is too soon to tell for sure. It just seems that if they can bring you down and get everyone to unite against you ...then they might feel good about their own lives. Why is that when someone gets sucessful and aknowledged for it, like you have, that Jill starts acting out again? You are so great....love watching you and cant wait to see the rest of the season with you in it!!!!

LOVE YOU! You may have bad timing but at least you do not sit around and gossip, you say it to the person's face!

I understand the way you felt and completely agree that you have every right to feel that way. However, you could have executed better in how you talked to Jill. You should have allowed the newly wed to come into the conversation to clear the air but Jill should not started scream back at you saying that just because you say it doesn't make it true.

Ramona - Have another Pinot Grigio......

Ramona You are the best! You are an honest, straight forward, emotioanl person that is loyal to your friends. I am really disgusted at how they are portraying you this season. It is clear that Jill, Kelly and Luanne have agreed to paint you as an unstable acoholic when you are clearly trying to market your new product--I haven't seen you drink any more or less than any of the other ladies--yet we've seen a number of interviews in which the ladies comment on your "drinking." It is sickening.

Ramona,

I really have liked you over the years. However, you are becoming way to combative. And the fact is, your party was a highly inappropriate time to discuss your issues with Jill. You handled it badly and should have simply told her that night you had something you needed to discuss with her and would she like to have lunch or drinks. Tisk tisk tisk on you my dear!

I love you Romona, Alex and Sonja. The other ones are just jealous!

Love you, Alex and Bethenny, all the others are dip heads who think to highly of themselves.
