This is the third in a three part series of posts about RHONY filming. You can read Part One by clicking here. You will find Part Two here.

The third event I have some news about is Sonja Morgan’s “Pop Up Shop” that she held at the shoe store of her good friend, Vanessa Noel. It consisted basically of a rack of some of Sonja’s fashions, being rolled into the store, along with all the customary step and repeat, a dramatic exterior stage for Sonja, and of course the Bravo cameras to validate the entire farce.
There was a lot of black and red attire worn at this event, almost as if they had all had to purchase an abundance of them lately and had some left over (blind item reveal). Ramona’s daughter was there as was another young lady rocking Sonja Morgan NYC black halter dress.
Finally, we get to see Tinsley. (far right). And here is the second blind item reveal. Though I still maintain that the living arrangements between Tins and Sonja is more ridiculous storyline. Just like we will see on RHOA with Cynthia and Kenya pretending to be “homeless.” It’s ridiculous.
Aside, the black woman with the really awesome blue jeans apparently named that baby, “Gold Chain.” I am not making this up. It’s better than Blanket I suppose. Hopefully it is also a nickname like Blanket.
As you can see, Bethenny certainly showed up to this one and as I have been hearing, her feud with Luann is ongoing. Bethenny, it seems cannot stand to see Luann happy. Just like some people who read here.
It’s been a very difficult day for me, an I find Luann to be an inspiration as someone who just lets the crap Bethenny throws at her roll right off her back.
In other observations, what the hell are most of these women wearing? Especially Bethenny. Both outfits she has sported in this trio of posts have looked like things she picked up at Target. She is supposed to be rich, is she participating in the revolt about the lack of wardrobe budget? Is she actively trying to look homeless?
I’m off to recap #RHOA But I doubt there will be much humor in my post and it will be later than usual as I just slog through this damn day. Hope y’all enjoyed the #RHONY exclusives this weekend.
Wow Bethenny! That outfit looked so much better on Mary Tyler Moore in 1974. If only Gold Chain’s mom was rockin a Rhoda head scarf. Avery is twinsies with some other girl.?
That baby’s face screams “I did not sign up for this fucking shit”
Re Bethenny’s wardrobe: money can’t buy you class. LOL
Knowing Bethenny, she is mad that Lu is getting all the attention and she is getting negative attention. It must kill her that Bravo threw Lu a party. Lu looks so happy, wish her and Tom the best.
Tamara, I am a huge fan of your site. I have been following you for 3+ years. I have to say I enjoy your recaps and exclusives. They keep me coming back time and time again.
I love RHONY and RHOBH. I still holding on to hope that RHoNJ gets its groove back; however, RHOP, RHOA are fucking horrible. The fake storylines and bad acting are unbearable. I read your updates about the plot, but I cannot bear to watch the show.
Anyway, I am pumped about the next season of RHONY. This looks great. Bethenny looks a hot fucking mess…like Walmart runway material. I hope Luann continues to stand her ground against her. It’s great, authentic conflict.
Tinsley looks like she has some disorder. What’s with the left side of her face in the pic?
I hope Jill makes more than one appearance on the show next season.
Oh dear God. Another season of Sawnyah drinking and Bethenny spitting vitriol? And how the hell did Carole get called back?
Should have named the baby Off The Chain.
Hi Tamra,
I am all for LuAnn being happy. I felt horrible for her when Bethenny broke the news in Miami regarding the cheating scandal. I seriously felt bad. Like the look on her face was pain. It was just sad to see. I also have a love/hate with her and I can see why Bethenny plus the audience really like to nail LuAnn to the cross. In the nicest way, she was one judgemental cunt in the early seasons of RHONY. Seasons 1-4 were not her best; I blame some of that on Jill Zarin. That lady had a way of making the ladies bring out the worst and when those 2 teamed up, it was just horrible. I think that’s why Bethenny gives her so much shit; I think a bit of it is jealousy but Bethenny just can’t let go of the past. She went from judging everyone for their actions to now doing the exact same thing; LuAnn simply sweeps it under the rug and says “Be Cool” lol. I like her but understand why people just can’t stomach her sometimes.
Bethenny on the other hand has turned into a cunt. She’s funny on Snapchat and when a cast isn’t trying to steal her shine (like her spinoff; I loved her on those seasons) but with an ensemble cast, she does horrible just like Nene (I Dream of Nene vs every season of RHOA). Bethenny is better off the show; she’s turned into a Jill and Carole is turning into a LuAnn aka puppet.
I disagree that Jill caused LuAnn to act all countess, LuAnn started off that way – correcting Bethenny on how she should be introduced to “the help”. I credited LuAnn and Count Alex’s public break-up for the shift in personality. I might be biased though because I liked Jill. Jill unfortunately was her own worst enemy but I enjoyed her ridiculous, pushy, over the top chutzpah.
I tried watching the Bethenny show – the wedding one was pretty good but then it just seemed like all she did was brow-beat Jason and ostracize his family.
Not looking forward to RHONY this season. I doubt this Tinsley can save it. This cast has been around too long. The first season is always the best because they have no idea what they are doing. At this point, I feel these reality stars have begun to fancy themselves as actresses playing a role.
Geez, just looking at Betheny, I can hear her hyper-comedic blah, blah blah. Her face just shows exactly what she’s spewing. Luann is a class act, always has been, always will be. Betheny, needs to listen and learn from Luann.
Quite frankly it appears someone’s wearing dirty laundry. She won’t be taken to the dry cleaners. These things need to be ironed out, such a pressing issue.
Such good tea!
I like that Lunn is wearing Sonja’s jumpsuit! ! Way to support one another! As far as Bethany goes – there are many stories of her financial issues maybe she had to wear clothes only lousy designers will lend her.
Is that the story behind that jumpsuit? Because . . . yikes. I’ve often thought that LuAnn could make a potato sack look good that jumpsuit is pushing her limits. Hopefully it looked better in person.
Sorry TT but on these rhony post I go right past other comments because I don’t get the Luann hate. I’m happy for her, she’s a grown ass woman and if she’s happy why can’t we be happy for her? Bethany has to have a personality disorder. Mazel tov Luann! Love the tea!
Wtf has Ramona done to her face????
Who’s behind Tinsley in the middle picture. Not to be shady, but these pictures actually look quite different than the filtered, lighting etc.ones. Kinda refreshing.
I felt bad for Luann when she found out about tom being a sleaze, but I don’t anymore now that she decided to marry him despite it. She chose it. She knew and went in with full knowledge so whatever happens, that’s on her. I don’t think a man who behaves that way can be trusted, ever.
I felt bad for her too. When she turned this around and made it all Bethenny’s fault? Well, that was as far as my sympathy went. She’s another “sniper from the side” in my books.
