Ramona,

I admire your drive and spunk and goodness is your skin beautiful, but you need a filter. You are going to alienate people for continuously, even when that is not your intention.

Your comment to LuAnn about being a weekend mom was harsh. Perhaps that's your opinion and perception, but what works for one person/family may is individual to that family.

You all are unique and dynamic ladies, and therefore I expect there will always be instances where you will have to "agree to disagree" with each other, but seeing you say hurtful or obnoxious things to other people just makes you look declassier.

You have a big heart and I appreciate and thank you for sharing your feelings and instances of personal growth so openly. You have always been one of my favorite housewives.

Ramona, I just have to say....you have got to stop saying to people "I'm sorry you feel that way" when you are trying to apologize! That is not an apology and has no place in the conversation! It makes it seem like you are not sorry for hurting their feelings, you are just sorry you have to deal with the mess afterwards. I'm sure (and hoping) you meant "I'm sorry" which is VERY different from "I'm sorry you feel that way".

Ramona, I think you're great! I AM a fan of YOU! I admire you for your business sense and your honesty. I know when your father passed you had an epiphany and I can totally sympathize with you. I went through the same thing. Stay strong and if anyone tells you to be anyone different than you are DON'T LISTEN! LOL!

You are great, you have gotten better and don't worry about jill, she will always be the same. you have the ability to change.

RAMONA,
AGREE 100% WITH BESTGAY.
BE A FRIEND TO BETHENNY--YOU ALWAYS WERE. ON WWHL, BETHENNY SAID YOU'VE BEEN "ZINGING" HER FOR THE PAST YEAR.
WHY WOULD YOU TURN ON SOMEONE YOU WERE CLOSE TO LAST YEAR, ATTENDED HER WEDDING, VISITED WITH HER AND BABY BRYN...THEN GO SEARCING FOR WAYS TO NEGATE HER NEW ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH SKINNY GIRL DRINKS?
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS SHOW. NOBODY CELEBRATES THE SUCCESS OF ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES.
DON'T BE THAT WAY. IT SOUNDS/LOOKS AWFUL!
BE HAPPY FOR HER. OTHERWISE, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LOOKS JEALOUS AND IMMATURE. HOPEFULLY, YOUR WINE WILL DO AS WELL.

Be a friend to Bethenny! Don't go on every website to question how much she made. Be happy in her success. Don't jock block her just for your wine success. It will be successful. Be happy for your friend, whether it be 120 mil or 30 mil. Don't go to websites claiming how much she made. Be happy for what she made. It's not about the #. Be happy for your friend and her triumph. Don't go online disputing what she made. Stick with your friends and success will come to you too. We all wish to be friends with you and Bethenny. You have the best of both worlds, enjoy both of yours success.

Ramona you really are my favorite because even if you say something that is considered, lets say, not nice you will say, you are sorry. You have said many times to the other ladies that it was not your intention to hurt them and will apologize when you feel you was in the wrong. It takes a really big person to do that. I never hear the other ladies say they are sorry or they were wrong so dont let them get you down. Keep being true to yourself and you will know who your true friends are. Oh, and Cindy is definitely not one of them.

YOU CALLED LUANN A "WEEKEND MOM."
OH MY.....
DON'T YOU FIND THAT A TAD INSULTING?

OMG...Bethenny hit the mula big time with Skinny Girl!
I think you need to add a topper tag on your wine bottle neck
that reads...................TURTLE TIME."

Please invite Bethenny back for an episode to help you and
Alex kick butt and take numbers on Jill, Lou Lou, Kelly, Cindy and
Sonja.

Ramona, of all the HW showes, you are the only one that has remained true to who you are. You say whats on your mind but move on. You truly enjoy life and seem to enjoy it to the fullest. Luann is full of herself, Alex is coming out of her shell, but maybe not in a good way. Jill truly seems to have realized what is important and is trying to make amends, Sonja is just an ugly person period. Jury still out on the new girl.

Ramona,
You are awesome and inspirational. Since Bethany left the show you are the only reason I continue to watch. Use your influence and get Kelly and Cindy off the show. I can continue to watch you and Alex and even the socially challenged LuAnn. I know she thinks she's the Miss Manners of NYC, but she isn't. We watch NYC because of YOU!!!!!!

Your Kooky but I love you! Hang in there cuz your outnumbered by the other gals!

You are my favorite!!! It seems like others are always picking fights and your always genuine and true to yourself.

you're my favorite for a reason ramona! you rock!

Ramona - you were the only one who tried to get Jill and Bethenny to talk! Don't think we don't remember that even if Jill has a selective memory!

I completely agree that Jill's as fake and selfish as they come - time after time after time you and Bethenny tried to work it out with Jill and she was all " We're done" We're done - That Scene where Bethenny is crying outside the building just breaks my heart. I don't blame Bethenny one bit for being DONE - now - she's tried enough - there comes a time when you just have to move on with the great life you have and Bethenny has so done that. I really don't think Jill cares about anything on the show right now except making sure that she's no longer the mean girl she's been portrayed in the past. It makes me even sadder to say those words because Jill was always one of my favorites from day one and I can only assume that FAME went to head and she lost herself somewhere along the way. I wish her all the best - she has a great family.. she just needs to get her loyalties in her friendships in line.

Ramona, keep up the good work! I've loved you from the beginning and continue to love you throughout each episode . . . not sure what's going on this season in "Kellyworld" nor do I particularly care much for the new & improved Sonja, but you always seem to stay true to yourself and what you believe in which counts for a lot on these shows. Jill has lost a lot of my respect after the way she treated Beth last season but you know what they say? The best revenge is living well and Bethenny sure could coin that phrase. Anyhow, just a few words to encourage you to continue on your path and I really look forward to Thursday nights due in large part to seeing you. Love from Hoboken.

I'm a Mary Kay consultant, and VERY proud of it, and I can't tell you how insulted I was when LuAnn dismissed the notion of independent consultants and women empowering themselves by saying, "I didn't know it was a Mary Kay party!" First, she should take a look at the income of some of the National Sales Directors. They earn the money that she enjoys from sources other than business. Second, I think it's a GREAT thing you're doing, by giving women the chance to have their own business, with their own hours. And, lastly, before she disses something, and takes it as a joke, maybe she should try the product, talk to women in the business and then make an educated comment next time.

Classless.

I will say, however, I think that Cindy wasn't "coming from a place of 'no'," either. I think you both share a knack of saying something without the intention being clear, and it gets misread. And I think you both took things personally that weren't meant to be. I hope you two can work it out. You're both amazingly powerful business woman, which can sometimes cause some clashes. But together? Amazing alliance.

Ramona,

If you do hire sales reps for your jewelry that will have someone host a party, let them give the hostess a couple of bottles of your wine to serve. It's another way to promote the wine.

Ramona, you are the only one I could see being friends with, and the only one who would consider being a friend to me, someone without wealth or status.
Keep it real!

You are the best! How generous of you to offer your business opportunity to other women. I think it is a great idea. I adore your honesty, no matter how brutal it may seem at times. Some of the others seem to be jealous and are definitely making you a target this season. Don't play their games.

Hello, Ramona,

I may have to watch that part of the episode again where Luann was correcting you. If I heard right, she was pronouncing Veneto, wrong, as well.

Not sure, (until I see a repeat) but I thought she was pronouncing it "Ven EE toe", which would be wrong. (that is phonetically written).

Veneto is correctly pronounced as this: "Ven AY Toe". Yes, the second e should make a long A sound.

As said ..I have to watch again, but I am almost positive that Luann was pronouncing it wrong.

If Veneto was spelled Venito, than saying "Ven EE toe" would be correct. LOL.

GO, RAMONA!!

I was so pissed when LuAnne was insulting you about how you said the name where you wine came from also! She acted like you didn't know anything since you coudln't pronounce the name of the region - another rude act on her part. I don't know why you had to apologize for scary island when Kelly was the only problem - another thing LuAnne mentioned in her blog! I think you, Alex and Sonja should have your own club and the hell with the others!!

You are so right on about things, Ramona! I know you say some inappropriate things at times, but you always call it like it really is. Kelly was the one who had the insane meltdown on the island and you were trying to care for her and still be taking care of your other guests. I have noticed this season that it must be time to "pick on Ramona" because you sure are getting it from all sides. Cindy seems like she gets offended at everything, and for someone who claims to be your friend, she is showing herself to be the biggest gossip and divider of everyone on the show. I really really admire you for your hard work ethic and for instilling that into your beautiful daughter. She will thank you one day when she has a career to fall back on! You are wonderful!

You are now by far my favorite housewife. Cindy was beyond ridiculous looking to pick a fight while you tried to explain your side of the story and then completely shutting down. Who does that? She doesn't know how to deal with people at all. I amazed at how polite and kind you are in the face of the rudeness these women display. You are beyond kind to Kelly after her insane behavior in St. John and let's forget about Jill. LOVE YOU!

Ramona really, really watch your back. You are the scape goat of the group. I saw LuAnn on Watch What Happens Live and she was still hinting that you drink too much. Alex and Sonja have your back, watch the others they are out to get you. Kelly is being Kelly and blaming you for the botched trip to Scary Island. From everything I read SHE is the one that made it Scary Island - not you!

Ramona, if someone is kind enough to invite you to an event they are planning than it is considered poor manners to dicatate where that event is held or what is served. You have the option to either accept or decline that invitation graciously. For future reference, when you attend an event where pinot grigio is not served there are other NON alcoholic options.

Ramona the mean girls don`t have Bethanney to attack so now it`s your turn. Hold your head up high and keep doing you! Don`t let those mean girls change who you r.Love you!

How nice to see you and Kelly get the record straight! I like you both, be friends and stop reading so much into everything. Or... well, that reading is the fun part!

I back you up on trying to mend fences with Bethenny & Jill last year in your apartment. Jill felt ganged up on and left.

Hi Ladies,
Thought I’d write a little something for everyone:

Jill: So glad you’re back. Love your attitude and genuine intention to “do the right thing”. Hope this season is a much happier one for you.

LuAnn: What can I say, as always, you are elegant and lovely.

Ramona: Oy, Ramona. Such a complex woman you are! You can be so endearing and yet so very very RUDE and disrespectful. Whether or not Cindy promised you your Pinot, a gracious lady would not barge into the party, demand her drink, criticize the horse riding and attempt to make a scene. You’re just ridiculous at times and it’s such a shame.

Sonya: You are a pisser sometimes! But, there are other times when the claws are coming out, which is new. Cindy’s intention was purely for the sake of sparing Kelly’s children a scene involving their mother. Ramona is unpredictable and holds no punches, even if children are present (refer to a previous season where she commented on Luann’s ex-husband’s age in front of her daughter). And as for dancing with your “staff”…..it is far more rude to refer to them as lowly staff then to dance in a playful, friendly way with someone.

Cindy: Open your mouth!! I can’t believe the way you sat and didn’t respond to Sonya’s teach lecture or Ramona’s rude tirade about how your party disrupted her romantic weekend with her husband!!! You looked like a frightened child. Your reaction at your party with Ramona was appropriate and strong. You need more of that!

Kelly: You seem to be in a very good place, and for that I’m happy!

Alex: Loved the piano scene! Your younger boy (sorry….I’ve forgotten his name!) seemed much more enthused about the piano. He was swaying to the music when he walked in. So cute. You looked very pretty in your scene with Jill and I’m so glad you are willing to work toward peace with her.

That’s all ladies. Happy Mother’s Day

Thank Ramona..your wine is very good..!!

If your are concerned about not having your Pinot at a party, take a couple bottles of yours. It will make for good advertising & you can be sure it will always be there for you.

Loved you Alex, and I hope there is a good relationship with you and Jill. You're great. You used to be the normal one until Cindy, but she's way too normal. Bring back Jen or someone with some pizazz

Love you Ramona, and I don't like Cindy. I don't like the way she looks, and she can't seem to remember what she has said. You have millions of fans out here, get rid of Cindy. I liked Jen Gilbert a lot better, and thought she added way more to the show.

I love watching the girl drama as much as the rest of the fans. But last night appeared to be characters from Mean Girls, only coming from grown women instead of teens. Cindy appears to be the everyone's pin cushion, she has no idea who to fit in with. I was kinda embarrassed to be watching this episode in front of my three teen daughters. Please tell me this isn't real? I'd love to think that this is all staged....please?

Sometimes I feel like I'm watching an episode of gossip girl. Everyone is so harsh to each other. Makes great tv but makes you guys look like mean girls. Jmo

Can't figure you out. It seems like deep down you're rational but then you take things to another level with your abrasiveness. I don't know if it's just the group of ladies that antagonize you to the point where you are so rude like with Jill, Kelly, Luann and now Cindy, or if you're like this with everyone.

I mean really some of the things that come out of your mouth to these women and you still call them friends? Not sure if they would consider you in that category after you say such mean and nasty things to them.

Thank you Ramona! In the sea of snark this season has turned into - you remain a positive, likeable, sassy and saavy businesswoman and a joy to watch. Love your new jewelry line and good luck with the wine venture!

You rock, Ramona!

Your post was perfect. Kelly is still trying to blame others for her poor behavior. I think you were right to tell her to quit calling Jill. She didn't listen.
Cindy is now a Luann and Jill girl. Ouch!
Luann needs to learn manners. She was really mean to you about the wine and your party.
I am scared for Alex talking with Jill.
I laughed so hard when Sonja told Cindy where she stands.
Ramona is the show. Love that girl.

yes, ramona talks about the other ladies as much as they talk about her. i dont think anyone has to worry about ramona getting picked on! are you kidding me? ramona can handle these ladies, and its fun to watch her do it. im tired of some people who keep bringing up bethenny, and what happened last year, and in details! its scary to me! drama is why we watch, and trust me, ramona is fine.

I think you're quite funny on the show, I can see that you're the target this season. I still don't understand why Kelly keeps blaming you for her crazy behavior on scary Island. If she won't let it go, I guess we can't. Honestly, I'm tired of talking about it, but she won't let it go, so it is a story-line, somewhat. Keep your head up, you are who you are and I can appreciate that. Oh, and you're right about Jill, but I do give her credit for attempting to work things out with Alex. Time will tell....

I think you are great. Keep being you. Love the honesty we get to see with you. I know that gets you introuble sometimes but it is sobrefreshing to see someone be honest with everyone.

Why pondering about Cindy's involvement with Sonja's plan> Because she is a true friend of Kelly and she tried to protect her from potentially explosive encounter. You know how you are deep inside your heart and you might cause Cindy to lose it in front of her kids. Sonja is not trustworthy. I wonder how you don't seem to have basic manner and etiquette and you could still run around the high society...oh I know...only money counts these days. You have sensitivity but you reserve it to primarily your self and your immediate family.

Keep your head up Ramona. You are the most real of the Housewives!

Ramona let me start by saying I think you are a great person. the working at home 50/50 on all sales of your jewels is fabulous!! I think I understand why you felt the way you did after Cindy's party. You felt let down. After helping her get on the show being a big so suportive to her events and her friendship, you felt decieved a little. I mean after you opened up to her and told her why you wanted to talk to her brother and you wanted to make things easier for all to get along and breaking down somewhat about your friend dieing and she didnt even try to make you feel better she just knocked you down more with the asking of the time to go to Kellies party right in front of you. she should of said sorry to you as well. Im sure we will soon see her and Jill conspiring against you in some way in the future. Just look the other way. Dont forget you renewel you can rise above this without any of the childesh ways. you let Kelly get away with her own crazy thinking you might have to do the same with this one as well. Jill Im so shocked after watching the previews. she hasnt changed she not that good of a friend to you. i can see already she is finding someone eles thats upset with you and she is going to use her to get at you. kind of like Kelly and Bethany. She really dont like Kelly she just used her so she would have someone that hated Bethany so she could vent about her too. she showed kelly she wasnt a good friend when she flew in on terror island( lol) Kelly said her self Jill just waved to her "Hi" She didnt take the time to even check on Kelly cause all she wanted was to talk to Bethany and try to work out thier problem. She didnt need Kelly then. But when thing didnt go as planned she was team Kelly again. she said I know how Kelly felt. I was treated the same. She didnt care about her at the airport .She was on a mission she wanted to be in Bethanys life again. wonder what would have happened if Jill stayed with yall and you all made up. you think kelly would be her bff??NOO. Im just saying this is my opinion. I like you all in different ways and I can critize something about each one of the ladies and you all can do the same of me if yall knew me. No one is perfect but sometimes we can keep from stirring the pot if we wanted to. you know what im saying?
