Sonja Morgan

Part of the Team

Sonja gives us some more background on her interns and her home life.

Jul 3, 2012

I do whatever it takes to keep me in balance, strong and able to manage everything, and still go forward while enjoying my life and the people who love and support me. It's not always the bottom line for me. It's that I have lived the life I want and with who I want. Most days are so busy that once I have dinner with my daughter along with the interns, violin teacher, or whoever helped out that day, and she's off to bed, we all just grab a movie or take last minute advantage of an invitation. That can be anything from Andy Cohen's book signing, art gallery opening, Christmas Spectacular at Radio City, backstage at The Actor's Studio, private townhouse garden cocktail, Cirque du Soleil, or Fashion's Night Out! Then we get up and do it all again, but we all love what we do or we wouldn't be doing it in this wonderful, crazy city!

So if that is too boring, I hope you skipped through! But I do love the people I spend my time with. They make me laugh and they cry with me too! They are in my private home so it's rare I have privacy. This means they go through the ups and downs with me. I couldn't do it all on my own. It's the team that makes it possible!

Are the interns a joke??? Free labor. What are they learning? How to read some emails, clean a house, make some food, shop? Are they going to school to be housekeepers? I think you are taking advantage.

Love you, Sonja! You, Heather, and Luann know how to drop the pretension and have a good time! It's so refreshing to see a group who have fun without all the drama and backstabbing (well, except for Carole sneering at everyone).

Ramona makes you look as bad as her. You should stay clear of her.

If I were a lesbian, I would want to "marry" you, Sonja! I absolutely adore you!

From the very first episode you have shown yourself to be kind, chill, and non-judgmental. If I were to have a party, you would be the dream guest.

i think ramona is your friend so that you can stay at her house in the hamptons.  i think you are hedging your bets by increasing the friendship meter with luann, just in case if ramona's house becomes unavailable to you, luann's house will be.

 

...any friendship that ended for 3 years over a sample dress wasn't a friendship at all - it was just upper east side shopping and lunch buddies who had too much time on their hands and needed someone to waste it on...until they weren't needed anymore.

Sonja i  love you in the show you are a breath of fresh air no matter whats happening in your life you throw it over your shoulder. I love you and Ramonas friendship cause both of you are not afraid to tell each other how you feel and i no Ramonas comment Ur a air head was off the cuff but a airhead is diffidently what your not.  Ur a very clever beautiful talent funny, gracious, teasing, fun  sexy, glamorous women I think your are great  she loves you dearly and i think your answer to her about going to London is great not all the time do we invited to a party, and some times Ramona has to stop taking things so personally and mind her manners sometimes and listin cause she does speak before she thinks some times and can come of cruel but i love her shes what real life is all about  i Do think Avia is not coming of very well thinking that she is the go between with romina/heather i think she is very two faced and will repeat everything you say to her to the next wive i think she has made the situation worse with her stirring but go heather and sonja when they turned it around on her i loved it shes the one to watch out for the women with many faces not to be trusted sorry i love your interns ur honesty and everything about you everyone needs a friend like sonja in there lives i say loving the show . Luann is the same as last show stirring it behind rominas back to all the new wives but there on to her i don't like the way she treats romina shes spitful x

I'm thinking when Ramona was biting your head off ad you weren't really listing to her feeling you really ave to talk to her like a child "I'm sure your feelings are hurt for being left out, mine would be too." Something like that. I think she felt like she wasn't being heard an lashed out. I do hope you realize that LuAnn is just trying to break you up and stick her nose in yours an Ramona's biz. You've never acted the way she described, at least on tv you haven't. But the way you described Ramona didn't seem fair either. Watch your back with LuAnn.

The pediatric kidney tumor your are referring to is actually called Wilms tumor. My son passed away from Wilms after it spread from his kidney to his lungs and mediastinum. I am very grateful that your nephew survived and is well!!

The show was great & your comments to Aviva were great. Aviva seems to think everyone has to "love" everyone else. I know she would NOT invite someone she didn't like to her or her children's parties. This is the first season I have been aware of your extremely busy schedule. You go girl & keep up the good work.

Love you Sonja and understand your not liking to be siding with anyone but do you remember how you and Ramona stood up for each other to Cindy when she insulted you?  That is what good friends do.  You turned your back on Ramona with Heather.  It would have been nice of you to bring it up to Heather like Aviva did or been a little more compassionate when Ramona was obviously upset about it..

It's so refreshing to hear a celebrity (even a reality celebrity ;o) talk about her staff. People try to keep their staff under wraps and pretend they do it all by themselves. Plus, I love how fondly you speak of your staff. It shows strength of character. I worked in politics and I always thought you could tell a lot about a politician by how he or she treated the staff.

 

If I didn't have commitments here in Boston with my three kids and a job, I'd be angling to be your intern, for sure!

Sonja, I"m so proud of you!!! Finally one of you has realized, that if you have a friend, then you accept her just the way she is. You don't judge her, monitor everything she says to anyone, etc. You and Ramona are great together, you know each other and still love each other!!!  Thanks for having Ramona's back.

Sonja i think you are awesome! Love watching you.. But i know your smart enough to realize Ramona is not your friend. She NEVER takes responsibility for any of her actions and has no filter whatsoever. I'm all for people speaking their minds but to be downright hurtful is another story. She feels she can do and say anything with no consequences because you or most people dont hold her accountable. Well,Heather did. by not inviting her to London. That was a consequence of her behavior. And Ramona STILL doesnt get it...Hopefully someday you will.

You are my favorite housewife and the primary reason I continued to watch after last season. Your carefree attitude is one of a kind as most people would be livid with Ramona after the way she behaved at your party (calling you an airhead and Mario agreeing - then she left!). But you accept her as she is, flaws and all and that is rare to find. I am going to practice being a little more like that. I think that is the key to your happiness. You don't sweat the small stuff (neither does Carole) and for that alone I love you. #TeamSonjaMorgan!!

I think that you stated you accept Ramona and she accepts you is very important...that is what good friends do. It's clear Ramona loves you and she just felt left out, which I would too. I'm sad to see you two not getting along very well, and your new budding friendship with Lu - ewww! I follow you on twitter and you and Ramona don't even comment to each other, but you made it clear the other day you were going to stay with LuAnn in the Hamptons. You and Ramona are fun, and I hope to see more of that.

Do you consider yourself eccentric?

You're a lousy friend to Ramona this season.  I don't know what your deal is...blowing her off to meet LuAnn for lunch.  If I recall, you don't even like LuAnn, but gee...maybe it gets you more camera time.  You're becoming Jill, doing anything and everything to stay on camera.  Just remember who your real friends are.....Heather isn't one of them, neither is LuAnn.

 you are entitled to have more than one friend.  It is Ramona that thinks she is

number one.  I would have to be pretty desperate to have Ramona for a

friend.  I think Sonja is doing the right thing.  Some people have to learn the

hard way.

Sonja,

You are the reason most of us watch the show, don't change a thing! I do love the fun you and

Ramona seem to have together, but you need to be yourself!

That wasn't boring at all!  I have never known you to be boring!  You handled yourself great with Aviva.  I love your relationship with Ramona.  I think that you are awesome!  Keep being you!

Sonja, Be nice to Ramona. She didn't mean her comments about  you. She is just hurt because of that rude and cold, backstabber, Heather. Good luck with your Business.

Authentic_Housewife_of_the_REAL_World 34 pts

You should have been a better (loyal) friend to Ramona.   I cannot believe you just blew off how hurt she was by pretty much saying "Oh Well".   In my circle of friends, nobody would have accepted an invitation to go anywhere if one of us had been excluded, but the girls I hang around with have integrity.

HBeez 474 pts

I love you Sonja.  Every episode I love you more.  I have a friend kinda like Ramona and I like what you said "I love Ramona but I can't make people want to be around her"....PERCISLEY.  You seem like so much fun to be around...can a 47 year old be your intern!!!!

You are by far my favorite on the show. I love your attitude about life, fun and friends. Just keep being you and don't let the show change you.

Sonja darling, snarky comments should be readily disregarded as you can and will do anything you want to do, and it will all be fabulous. xx

You are a hoot......always enjoy watching you! Best of luck with your new business....be a true friend to Ramona as nutty as she can be, her heart seems to be in the right place. I hope you will remember the good friend she has been to you and be there for her! Best of luck and happy summer.

Why do you always stick up for Ramona - she never takes responsibility for her actions or thinks she does anything wrong. You call her a real friend after her and Mario discussed you being an "air head" in the bathroom of your party...Not only would I question that I would also question what is discussed behind closed doors about you. Real friends dont ever have to question what is said or going on they just know.I think it is nice that you stick up for your interns- Im sure not everyone can grasp that you do have a social life. I do enjoy your antics and you are great when your with Lu :)
