At least it certainly was not for Bethenny this season when Dennis dies unexpectedly. We get an on air therapy session this season with Bethenny and a grievance counselor. The entire time that Bethenny was dating Dennis there were sources telling me of multiple times the two were seen arguing loudly in the streets. Bethenny was blamed for all of the arguments but as it turns out she was dating someone with serious addiction issues and it was difficult. She loved him but couldn’t help him. Thus her comment about not being able to get off the ride.

In other Charity Ball news, Ramona invited Dorinda to the Angel Ball, another charity event that is a really big deal. She bought two tickets and gave one to Dorinda but then when Dorinda got there found out that Ramona asked to be seated at a table with more important people. Ramona is supposedly looking for investment money for some new caper. In other Ramona news, Mario filmed an episode at a bar this season and Ramona and a couple of the girls were there. It doesn’t look like I posted about that. I remember stopping posting filming news because no one was reading them. Ramona was drunk and hanging all over him, but they are NOT reconciling though, as far as I have been told.


So like I said, I posted most all of this news as it was happening. Be sure to click on all the links for the real time recaps of events. In comparison, here is the official Bravo release.
Looking forward to NYC because I love the city so much.
Honestly, a few younger cast members wouldn’t hurt.
Tinsley really doesn’t have a story line.
I can see LuAnn getting a big Cabaret head, i think that would be easy to do when you are selling out venues all over the place.
I love drunk Dorinda!! CLIP! CLIP!! JOVANI!!
Drunk Sooonya is just sad.
Ramona has got to be the most self absorbed, un self aware person on the planet. Not a good look.
I find drunk Dorinda very sad. She is really disrespectful and angry drunk.
Totally agree. She looks sad and pathetic
Same. I don’t enjoy her AT ALL. She was more likable when she was being fake nice on her first season. We thought Drunk Dorinda was an occasional bender and didn’t realize the extent of her issues.
After the knife incident in Mexico it stopped being amusing. I remember the first season she blamed it on not napping pre dinner when she and Luann went after Heather for cursing. Not a good look.
Dorinda at dinner with Bethenny before Puerto Rico was a clear sign. Hope this season she cuts down on the booze. Lu looks fantastic. I’m really surprised her Caberet is doing so well but good for her. She’s like a cat with nine lives.
I think Lu’s cabaret show does so well because she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s just having a good time and knows her voice isn’t Mariah Carey good. Plus she does Q & A with the audience and spills tea. Also she does funny skits and has good guest appearances.
I agree.
I actually really dislike drunk Dorinda. She is vicious and its not funny. Its not cute.
I agree… the slurring , good Lord!! She hasn’t watched herself? She can’t posdi think it’s a good look
I can’t stand drunk Dorinda! She’s just nasty and rude.
Hot damn, this looks like an exciting season. I’ll admit I was bummed when Carole announced her departure. But considering what I just saw in the trailer, it’s probably in everyone’s best interest that she’s out of there.
Frankly, I’m not surprised that Bethenny turned on Luann (again). Obviously they’re both going through a lot, and they’re handling their struggles differently. But considering their big, televised make-up last season, I’m wondering what caused the latest breakup between Jill and Bethenny. Perhaps the answer is right in front of me, but I’m scratching my head over how quickly they turned on each other (again).
Agree. It seems like they would want to work it out, especially after losing Bobby and now Dennis. Women are so fickle. Neither one of them are drunks so it couldn’t be that. Sad.
I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! I love to hate Ramona, I really do as she is so self centered and ignorant. I also have a love hate with Bethenny, she is a hard bitch. She throws up walls and then bursts into tears. Sometimes I want to hug her and others throw a punch. Can’t wait to see how bad of a mess Dorinda is.
I believe Ramona was speaking at the Lyme benefit on behalf of her sister who allegedly has Chronic Lyme Disease.
Yeah, I heard the same thing a while back. Still, I was alarmed that the same sketchy “charity” that Yolanda Hadid featured on RHOBH three years ago is about to be featured on RHONY.
Does anyone else think they all come back each season with a new face? You can only get away with it for so long. I think Ramona and Teresa (NJ) are sisters. Vapid, stupid and vain. Not to mention neither have ANY manners or taste! This should be interesting, wish LuAnn would go away….
Tom, Dick, and Harry trifecta. Lol
Literally.
The Atlanta Housewives may love to play “Pass the Peach”, but the New York Housewives manage to top that by playing “Pass the Man”!
kind of surprised at the latest cast photo. they are actually all wearing really wearable clothing (well, except for maybe luann who looks a bit too dressed up compared to the rest.)
i am especially loving dorindas look.
I totally meant to say something about the photo too. I just had so much to remind y’all of this post that it skipped my mind.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this photo and think it is the best cast photo EVER.
I was interested to see Bethenny on the end and Luanna and Dorinda steal the photo.
Me too! I ?love this cast photo. Look at Dorinda’s outfit. Has she ever looked better? Wow. I think I just found the inspiration to get my skinny back. Remember those “Glamour Shots” back in the day? They all look exceptional. Good for them! It takes a LOT of grit and coin to live in NY. Congratulations to these gals for doing it on their own, and looking great.
They all look fantastic. So sad to learn about unresolved alcohol problems. We all know that women don’t live long as drunks.
It just cracks me up to learn that now Romona and Harry have hooked up. Thanks for that info. Oh, my. This guy must have great pheromones or something. Is there anyone left who hasn’t been romanced by Harry? What a guy. I still remember when he ran out on Sonja and jumped into a taxi with Lou … so naughty.
the photo looks great, but holy photoshop!
Is it photoshopped? I need me some of that!
I love this cast picture too, but I can’t help wondering if Sonya borrowed her skirt from her daughter. It would look so much more chic and sophisticated in a length comparable to the other ladies. Even Tinsley’s is longer. Lu’s height gives her a commanding presence among the shorter ladies so why not play it up? I bet the dress is a GIOVANNI!
bring on the ladies of NYC!!
My faves, yes!
Drunk Dorinda is funny when she is in the heavily buzzed/little drunkie faze. Bordering blackout drunk Dorinda is scary and sad.
I was all happy and excited NY was coming back until I saw Sonja pass out at the dinner table from being black out intoxicated. This is way too far. There’s way too much blantant alcohol abuse on this franchise.
Geez, they’re all so gorgeous. If I look half as good as any of them when I’m that age, I’ll be one happy camper.
Best part of cast photo : no boobs. Seen one, seen em all. Well, Ramona doesn’t count
Tinsley looks very, very thin.
Too much crying
Agreed.
Don’t like Ramona. Don’t like Tinsley.
Can stand Sonja and Dorinda (but I really dislike her when she is drunk)
Like Bethenny and Luann.
Still gonna watch this season.
Side note: if you watch the housewives IG footage from the baby shower, Ramona seems desperate to belong with Kyle and Rinna and the others. Like a kid on the playground who wants to hang with the cool kids. She kinda hangs around, then jumps in and tries to participate, but ends up doing something dumb.
I noticed keto5…absolutely!
Still, I can’t wait for NY to start!!! Luv these HWs with all their boils.
I love all these women because they put it all out there, have the best outfits, and are actually friends, or at least have history with each other. Was hoping to see Dorinda address her drinking problem, but so far, it doesn’t look good. Please don’t disappoint me, NYC! I am down to BH and NY at this point.
me too!
I am BEYOND ready for this season!! NYC is my town-grew up 30 miles from the city. I love seeing all the sights and really feel for Bethanney. Hard place to be-she couldn’t help Dennis. No one could but himself.
I just want to say, I’m loving Luann’s longer hair! It’s very flattering on her in the cast pic and in the trailer.
Love the recap can’t wait for season
I LOVE N.Y.!!!!!! I will stick with them till the end (either theirs or mine lol).
I think they all look fantastic. LuAnn looks beautiful! I hope she and Dorinda have made up and are friends again. I really did not like to see that last year at all.
I really hope B has some good and positive things coming up in her life. She has sure had a rough few years to say the least. When she is happy she is a really delightful person. Through all of this too, she has still reached out and kept helping others.
I have even come to barely tolerate Ramona. I can’t imagine the NYHW without her. I like Sonja and Tinsley in some fashion or another. I wish that this would all have a happy ending.
NY and ATL are my favorite franchises. It would be interesting if Kenya would either join NY or be a friend of the show in NY.
what did jill say about bethenny? i was hoping they’d film together. also are the berkshires and miami their only trips?? why do they always go to the same places? i want to see them go to europe or asia or something more exotic
It’s a good thing most of these ladies live in L.A. and don’t drive a lot because likely they would kill themselves or a family of 40. But they would most likely be pulled over for DUI and have to face up to their drinking problems. LouAnn might be the fortunate one in the long run.
How on earth could Ramona get Lyme disease? Remember how she hates the woods?
Thanks for the update I can’t wait for RHNY to start!
I’m so excited!
I’m excited for RHONY to be coming back! I still like Dorinda but she is a messy, messy person by the look of it.
I’m very hopeful that Bravo will be extremely mindful that Dennis has a still grieving family and doesn’t show too much of the B being all about herself and her grieving. Not saying she doesn’t have the right to grieve but at least be mindful that his ex-wife and kids will likely be feeling it a LOT more.
Looks to be a good season but think I’ll reserve judgment on who I feel are the bitches of the season until the show actually airs. I remember thinking I’d be all for Dorinda when the trailer came out for last season and look how that turned out.
I can’t wait. My favorite city. I can’t believe Dorinda is still drinking after everyone calling her out last season. She’s really in denial. I agree she’s vicious when drinking. Interesting to see what B says on Dennis. Hard to imagine her with someone with that addiction and around her daughter, etc so interesting to see if she knew. She sure bounced back quickly.
To note. Friend was in Boca a couple weeks ago and went to a high end steakhouse. Tinsley and Ramona and other people were at the next table and there were no cameras. My friend’s sister is a huge HW fan and went to ask Ramona to take a picture. Ramona refused and wasn’t nice or friendly. Tinsley she said was very nice. Zero surprise there!
I may not comment much but I’m always reading. Tamara you are the best. I love all your recaps. Even on shows I never watch. You bring out a whole picture and I can see and imagine just what’s happening. Thank you
Thanks Vicki! I appreciate your visits!
Come on N.Y. Always my fave, no matter who is in the cast. I loved to hate Carole so may “miss” her delusions of grandeur ass, lol. The most I’ve ever liked Bethenney in recent years was when she allied with Lu and Sonja. I’m not sure why she isn’t savvy enough to continue that?
