This housewife, let’s call her Big Em, seems to have a new business franchise. She’s practically running a bed and breakfast for displaced cast members. Currently, another housewife, let’s call her Little Em is shacked up with her in her formerly luxurious abode.
The arrangement seemed to be mutually beneficial when the boarder moved in a couple of months ago. After all, the two have a lot in common. Their biggest commonality is their major contributions to devastating divorces that caused a sudden loss of status in their community. A close friendship between these two would seem likely.
HOWEVER, since winter has arrived, the boarder is wishing she had a bit more meat on her bones. Like a scene out of a movie, the two are often milling about in their winter outerwear. As usual, the address may be good, but the living conditions are unbearable.
Also eerily similar to the movie, Big Em is regaling Little Em with stories of glory days gone by. A lot. They become more glamorous with each frequent retelling.
In yet another, “you can’t make this up” twist, Little Em, is staying in Big Em’s daughter’s bedroom despite having other options.
Little Em is looking forward to heading off to warmer climes. At least for the holidays.
Jules Weinstein. and Sonja Morgan?
Big Em is Sonja and Little Em is Jules?
I suck at these. My guess is it’s Sonja & her house. I’m thinking the other one is Jules, but then Jules has kids so not sure that it would work.
My neighbor S Morgan & T Mortimer !
I would pay to see this daily. I might have hang out near her apt. She’s only few blocks from me.
Hey Dukie: When we see the outside of Sonja’s home, it appears that she’s next to a parking garage and that they’re doing endless construction next door. They’ve shown boarded up windows. I can’t imagine spending that much money and buying a home next to a garage in Manhattan. How does the outside look to you?
Cheers!
It’s a single family townhouse in Manhattan. There are no longer any bad SFH in Manhattan. The parking garage is actually an asset. No neighbors and convenient parking in Lenox Hill.
Sonia and Tinsley?
Who is Tinsley? This is a housewife?
I read that she just joined the RHNY. She was a popular socialite in the mid 2000’s who married into the Standard Oil family. She achieved some fame and parlayed it into a contract with a Japanese company selling handbags . She was very popular in Japan for some reason. She is/was famous for her signature blonde curls. ( it sounds ridiculous but it’s true.)
I remember she was in the NY papers all the time about 10-12 years ago and even had a reality show for a hot minute. When she dumped her husband, it all went downhill. She bounced around from man to man then she took up with the heir to a very wealthy family, he didn’t treat her well, there were fights and she was arrested was trespassing. There’s a lot online about her downfall. I totally see her with Sonja.
Sonja Morgan and Tinsley Mortimer?
Sonja and tinsley
This must be shown on TV. This is what reality tv is all about hot mess with hot mess. Hot mess B has realized how big of a mess hot mess A is. Conflict is sure to occur
Yes!!! I’m imagining them wasted wearing fur and tons of jewelry talking about how fabulous they were a decade ago… and I hope they film Every. Single. Moment.
Sonja and Tinsley makes a lot more sense than Sonja and Jules and the photo is definitely Grey Gardens.
Tinsley lost all her social status when she divorced Topper Mortimer and like Sonja, is fighting to regain her social status that she lost when she divorced. Like Sonja, she was a nobody from nowhere when she married.
Actually Tinseley’s story is a bit more complicated than that. Read the article Page Six wrote about her in April of this year.
It is Sonya and Tinsley, for sure. Wonder how Sonja’s daughter feels about losing her room? Bravo seems to be arranging company for Sonja- or is it friends, if she and Ramona are not back to bestie status?
Tinsley was not a nobody when married- I watched every episode of her show and her Mom was certainly pushing her as only a climbing mother can, but she had a circle, was well into her age group’s society in NY, and enough of a socialite that she was sought out by many who saw her as someone who could raise their status. She appears to have really blown it.
How much has Sonja fallen since her arrival on Season 3? If all you have is old stories of past glory that require embellishment , you’re headed in the wrong direction, Sonja. I’d love to see her find a guy and be happy, but who is going to even take her on a date when her attention is wallowing in the past?
If she truly has stopped drinking, I would hope she would get some new friends and direction, new circle . Sounds like that has not happened-. That’s a shame.
Luanne’s desperation to be married seems to be echoed by the other new singles- certainly Ramona is equally desperate, and working on it. while Sonja seems to be unable to move forward. I hope that changes, for her sake.
I don’t think Lu was desperate to get married. I think,like many, she prefers to be married.
Agree and I think that kiss was just a friendly buss goodbye to an old friend. The hubbub about it was probably producer induced.
Right?!? That picture only caught a moment in time and what 50yr old clandestine couple is going to make out all night at a well known bar in front of everyone and why was that not in the papers right when it happened? If it happened?!?
I think she actually started to loose her social status when she dumped the husband. He was the one with the, “name”, the lineage and social status. She was from Virginia and nobody in NY had heard of her. She started to date a lot of questionable men after the divorce and then ended up with a guy who wouldn’t admit that he was seeing her! That’s gotta hurt.
Knowing this bs takes up room in my head makes me want to hide under the covers.
Sonja Morgan and Tinsley Mortimer.
Sonja and…?
Hmmmm, Miss Morgan and Miss Mortimer…warmer climes=Palm Beach, baby! Troubled waters ahead…
Playing Little Em to Sonja’s Big Em worked out well for Luann. Maybe her good luck will rub off on Tinsley.
SHIT SHIT SHIT
i’m fucking terrible at blind item posts. Which is probably why I blog something like The Voice where it is easy to ignore behind the scenes stories and bullshit.
Sonja is definitely in the mix, no doubt. But until others made mention of other possibilities, I kept wondering if it wasn’t Ramona
Whoever it is with Sonja, just picturing the whole thing is great!! 🙂 thanks for the morning coffee LOL, TT.
I can’t believe she is going to be a housewife. I guess it makes perfect sense, she was on a reality show before. This is gonna be good!!!
Juicy juicy juicy Tamara! Is this an indication that Tinsley Mortimer is or might be on the next season of RHONY?
I know it’s Sonja for one ..the Little em.. not quite sure . Not TInsley , we had heard to much about her. on the RHONY to have that be a surprise.Maybe someone from a different franchise? Jules, as other commenter mentioned.. doesn’t make sense to me.. But Since her Ex is such a prick and not paying what he owes… Love the puzzle!
