Kristen: Ramona is Out to Get Me

Kristen just wanted to play nice with Aviva and is shocked by her confrontation with "hypocrite" Ramona.

By Kristen Taekman

Heather is one of the strongest women/mommies I know! It is so hard to watch her go through all of these issues with Jax. He is such a trooper. I teared up watching when they were at the doctors. It's just so hard to watch, especially when you are a mom.

My playdate with Aviva: I walked into that playdate wanting to talk to Aviva about all of the #BookGate stuff. At this point, I was already much closer to Carole, but I wanted to give Aviva a "chance." After all, we had just met and she hadn’t done anything to me "yet." I wanted to clear the air about #BookGate and let it be known I am not involved.  

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

When Cash and I got there, I told her that I wanted to talk with her. So fine, we started to talk. She asked me to keep it PG in front of the kids, "non-hostile," and then she told me to "Shut the f--- up" two seconds later in front of the kids!! After she made a point of telling me to keep it PG in front of the kids -- can you say C-R-A-Z-Y! It seems obvious to me she is challenged in controlling her emotions. This whole scene is so insane to me. How can I not address the elephant in the room, #BookGate? All while she is telling me that its none of my business? At this point, a month later, it's everyone's business, which is why I felt the need to address it! She has made it all of our business thank you very much. All I wanted to do was tell her that I am here with her on this playdate to try and move forward despite all the crap thats going on. Tell her that I am not going to take sides. Then she flips her lid. Ahhhhhhhhhh, very frustrating.

Oh yeah, the squeeze toy with Ramona's eyes. Sometimes you just do things because you think that they are funny. I have been hearing about Ramona and her "crazy eyes" for years. It's funny, Ramona makes fun of her eyes and how the tend to bug out of her head. It's funny. I think it's funny. Sorry, Ramona. I guess Aviva didn't think that that was funny, but then again what does Aviva think is funny? 
Tennis at Ramona's: I don’t play tennis or bocce ball for that matter. I didn't know about the shoes. Oh well, waaaa waaa the new girl doesn’t play tennis.

I had to voice my opinion to Ramona about her not showing up for Heather's party. This was an intimate party celebrating her anniversary. I have no problem with her not going and I am sure Heather would agree. It's the RSVPing and just not showing up. Come on Ramona: the text message not going through? At least own up to it and tell her the truth why you didn't go.

Ramona's Fourth of July party: Gorgeous house and it was a beautiful party with great food and drinks. The moment I walked in, Ramona grabbed me and had her chat with me -- before wine even! Wow, I have to say I was shocked. She is just out to get me. Not my place to say anything? Do we all remember her getting involved with the fight at Aviva's house with Carole and Aviva? Hmm, was that her business? Can you say hypocrite?  Listen, in my book it's not OK to RSVP that you are going and just not show up. Ugh, #staytuned.

The Clambake: I was so excited to finally host a Clambake. It's an Elvis movie, as you know by now, so it's always been a dream of mine. I was very happy that Aviva’s friend pulled through for us with that fab house on the beach in Southampton! It's so crazy how this #BookGate thing just keeps circling and won't die. Please let it die.

Aviva getting a galley of Carole’s book is just making it worse at this point. And is a bit strange? I am confused as I am sure you all are. First she is super fan, then crazy hater, and now back to super fan?  Anyway, the party was gorgeous and so were the fireworks.
