Aviva Drescher

The Human Pinata

Aviva shares what she wishes she had done differently when she met with Sonja.

Sep 17, 2012

The scene with Sonja is very painful to watch because what I should have said at that moment was that I cared for her. I missed the opportunity to say that and that I was genuinely sorry that I hurt her.

Thank you for tuning in!!!

To answer Bravo's question, "No."  [For every action, there is a reaction.]  Aviva taking the initiative speaks volumes.  Ramona showing up late doesn't phase Aviva at all; however, Romana's  incessant {loquacious} rant/s stifles Aviva's ability to a mere limit of  "knee-jerk" reactions for each of Ramona's potpourri of comments. 

 

Aviva's compassion to understand Ramona was diminished over one  lunch debacle?  I can not dismiss my respect for Aviva for Ramona's history of pandemonium.  I wish anyone "Good Luck"  with a long-term [steady] relationship with Ramona.

Aviva please do not flatter yourself, the only people who seem to care about you are your 2 poor excuses for dad and husband.

I don't know why all this anger towards Aviva... Oh, I know why... it's because the people commenting against Aviva don't understand where she's coming from, that being a lady with class and poise.

Aviva, maybe you need to get job to get your mind busy with something this way you'll stop worrying about what others do with their lives.

Aviva......SO judgemental on such a small part of a persons life... Most of the housewives day week month year is not on camera and I'm sure they have normal day to day events and are mom wives and do do wonderful things. Most of the times the women are ON camera is at an event, dinner, party or vacation ....when you do have drinks, let loose and have fun! Just because YOU can't let loose doesn't make them wrong. Try some acceptance.

I'm starting to wonder about the relationship between Aviva and her father.....he is so disgusting and disrespectful toward women. Does anyone know if he had anything to do with her accident ?

murfieslaw 15 pts

@Jrzegrl Her accident occurred on a dairy farm that her dad co-owned. Her accident occurred because Miss Aviva was playing on farm machinery that she shouldn't have. Afterwards, George sued the farm(including himself) and the machine distributor for $10M and settled out of court for $1.2M.

In re-watching the episode last week....you say "I was 100% duped."

 

omg - stop being the victim.  You are the aggressor, not the victim!!!

Shirlynetta42 12 pts

I grew up in a family that also believed that saying reprehensible things to others was acceptable....because they're UPSET! Like you, Aviva,  and your "defense" of "oh, I didn't mean it...geeez I was upset,  sooo, get over it and stop making such a big deal "  . I am so with Sonja on this one, people of truly good character do not say things they don't mean.

The way Ramona and Sonja treated you  and your husband was immature and classless

I think Aviva NEEDS a pinata. She could fill it with Voodoo Barbies and take some swings at THAT instead of Sonja & Ramona. (Maybe she would feel better?)

I can't even rewatch the last 3 episodes because of your behavior.  Full of yourself much?

stewarthe@sfasu.edu 12 pts

Aviva, What is going on?  First couple of episodes I was so excited to see some class come on this show.  You seemed so beautiful, honest, classy, heartfelt and then all of the sudden you became a hideous troll out for vengeance.  Your words are very harsh and I felt that you were very contradictive calling the ladies white trash, I mean, seeing how you were acting.  You POT ladies KETTLE!!!!!

molly.fyfe 20 pts

I dont understand how you can find Ramona & Sonja's behavior "atrocious" and not say anything about your father's behavior... he's a creepy cheesy grease ball. How you could be so judgemental about everyone's behavior and bring your dad on the show is a really bad move on your part.

lynnwhitlock 3116 pts

Aviva,  Please explain.....

 

So Luann is introduced to Tomas as Sonja's friend Carole's boyfriend.  Luann is infatuated by his appearance being similar to Johnny Depp.  Luann chases Tomas, picks him up at the bar, brings him back at 3:00 AM, lies about it and makes up another story.  When her lies are discovered she continues to lie. The truth is obvious. Luann is supposedly in a commited relationship.  Aviva is OK with Luann.

 

Carole is in a casual relationship with Russ.  Carole openly admits to bringing Russ back to sleep with her overnight.  Aviva is OK with this.

 

Sonja finds out Tomas is no longer in a relationship with her friend at a party at the house.  Sonja is not in a committed relationship.  Sonja admits to what happened.  Aviva accuses Sonja of bringing home guys from bars ridicules Sonja as having immoral behavior.

 

How does this make sense?

 Your note is well thought out.  Now if only Aviva could take the time to read your message - but she won't.  She's always too busy trying to intimiidate those whom she feels are inferior to her.  I don't know how she has kept her husband because with her attitude it's all about "me me me".

magiccity 468 pts

 lynnwhitlock You are right on target.  Aviva is just plain crazy.

anomar12 80 pts

agree 100%!!  I guess as long as you lay out the red carpet for her arrival, you get a free pass.  Sonja, however, was in the pool with Ramona enjoying her vacation and the rest is history...

 lynnwhitlock you are speaking of AVIVA....and hasn't she shown who she really is????!!!!

First, let's go along with your assertion that the St. Barth's trip was a "drunken girls gone wild" episode.  Who made you judge, jury and executioner? 

 

Second, if Sonja and Ramona were dancing on tables and sleeping naked.......what business is that of yours?

 

I have been going to the Caribbean for 25 years, and a vacation is just that.  A vacation. 

 

If you are worried about bad behavior, perhaps you should coach your father.  That would keep you so busy that you would not have the time to look down your nose at other people.

You lashed out, but instead of apologizing, you keep lashing out!  Then spouting off about other people!  Girl! You need to calm down.  Even the tone of this blog a year later... get over yourself!!  Love ya even though you're a crazyperson!

And she is still playing the victim. Aviva should hire a PR team....she could use the help at this point with her image. It's been badly damaged, but it's never too late!!! I hope!!

You're the cause of Carole's stress!  If you were gracious and a real friend, you would have tried to help her de-stress, not lecture her on smoking. 

Ebelleboo2 240 pts

 Dogfarmgal

 I agree.  Also, Aviva is so into herself she never even asked Carole why she was so stressed!  A true friend would have asked.

Maggietish 1284 pts

Honestly Aviva - Barbie?  No one is saying that you haven't overcome quite a lot in your life with losing your leg and how well you've accepted it a have a full effectrive life - but you seem to bring it up all the time - why?  I agree that  you need to give it a rest - you may have had a point but lost the battle because you just beat it to death where no one wanted to hear it any longer.  Ramona is certifiable - can't believe Bravo kept her - she's a walking time bomb just waiting to explode.  When you came on the show you continually supported Ramona and chastised the other women for their reactions to Romana's behavior - question:  have you apologized to them - because you certainly should have.  You sit in judgment of everyone - believe me, the whole world is not hanging on your every word - who are you to judge anyone at all?  No one is condoning Ramona and Sonya's behavior at all.  Sonya acts like the whole world shoudl revolve around her and be her personal servants - what she did to Heather is vile and the way she treats her interns is deplorable.  If she ever wonders why her life is falling apart its because you do reap what you sow.  And, please God, make that woman keep her clothes on - it's utterly ridiculous that any 50ish year old woman would think the world wants to see her naked body.  At any rate, Aviva, please button it - you're way over the top and have to stop treating people like you think you're better than they are.

I had to laugh When Aviva said Carole smoking pink cigarettes would "affect" their friendship.   Really, Aviva, Really???  Your snobby, insulting behavior toward jerk-offs Ramona and Blond drunk girl was a total turnoff.  You may be right about them but you were also insulting your hostess, Carole.  You ruined a nice vacation by acting just like Ramona!!  YOU should be praying that Carole doesn't drop YOUR friendship to her!

So, in this episode, Luann finally admits that she, too, didn't want Reid to stay at the house. Still, nothing in the way of criticism from Aviva in this blog. She doesn't even acknowledge it. Because, I guess, to do so would interfere with her bizarre insane hatred of Ramona. Aviva, you have mental issues. I guess growing up with a creepy lech of a father will do that. Still, you have to take responsibility and get help. And, enough with the hollow insincere pseudo apologies for your horrible behavior. You're vicious and a liar. Own that.

rita.karson 232 pts

 gbearc lol...I know right she needs to lecture her father on behaviour.  Sonja is not committed to anyone, she can do as she pleases, who are you to determine what should go on with any of the women.  Ramona didn't bring anyone home, but your best friend LuAnn Ms. Contess did and isn't she in a committed relationship, but you had no judgemental words for her...maybe you should look in the mirror, you sure seem to talk about your ex-husband all the time, oh maybe that's why you're mad at Sonja, she did sleep with him, oh but so did LuAnn...I don't know why any of women would want to be friends with you.

nlb1525 449 pts

I do not agree with how Aviva handled the situation..she was over the top; however, it seems that now in retrospect she now sees her faults. When I was in my 20's I said some things that I now regret...I still think that I was right about the situation but I was wrong in how I handled the situation and the things that I said.

 

I still think that Sonja & Romona need to stop drinking so much...they look like they are trying to relive their youth. I have travelled alot and  just because you are on vacation doesn't mean that you are given permission to act like an ass; especially in a foreign country.

But Ramona and Sonja were a little callous and unfeeling – they harped on and on about reid coming along, even going so far as renting a house somewhere else to avoid aviva and reid.  It would be very hurtful to realise your friends are kinda cruel. Sure aviva was relentless and over the top with her reaction, but there were tangible reasons for her to be upset. Also the fact that carole, Luann and heather - who were actually there - have come away from the trip with dimmer views of Sonja and Ramona, rather than writing aviva off as a psycho means Sonja and Ramona were in the wrong too

Ebelleboo2 240 pts

 We all have faults and we all make mistakes sometimes.  As a  good friend you have to overlook some things said or done, unless it damages you personally or is so dangerous that your friend could become seriously hurt.  Even then, you should use kind words when you disagree with a friend's actions.  Aviva, you are very hostile and your language is very critical and hurtful.  It is hard to believe you were ever a friend to the ladies.

Hang in there, girlfriend.  Like one of the other wise commenters said, "This will blow over and soon someone else will be the center of all the negative attention."  I understand that the trip took place months ago.  Just hang in there.  We love you.  None of us is perfect, and we love you for being willing to get on this show, put yourself in these ruff situations, and then learn from them.:)xoxoxo,OEF

For you having gone to law school, Vassar and speaking many languages it seems you can't even compose a sentence without using multiple annoying use of the word "that."  Guess your too busy sticking your nose into other people's business. Why don't you clean up the behavior of your father. You'll be busy for a long time!
