Ah yes, it is time for the RHONY recap where once we thought no one could be more rude and disrespectful than Leah until Ramona suddenly said, “Hold my beer.” I know it is just a show, and that production has a hand in all the drama, but you could not pay me to behave this way in someone’s home. And at a religious occaision! But, Ramona literally shits everywhere she goes. So I am not surprised. It’s just infuriating. Yet, on we go…
Ramona is in the kitchen eating a half-plated plate of food in the kitchen while spewing even more stupidity to the poor kitchen staff. Apparently she has some sort of a problem with pronouns. Is there anyone she hasn’t offended in these episodes? The hostess is shocked and appalled but trying to hide it. Ramona finally comes to the table. The hostess wants to bless the damn wine, move things along and get this over with. So do I. Ramona mutters about Sonja’s drinking. She’s been drinking tequila all night. And as Ramona continues to point out they have had no food. Now drunk Sonja is going on and on about her her charity work. Ramona tries to reel her in because suddenly she knows what manners are. But, Sonja keeps screaming at her. Le sigh.
Bitch, Bye!
Meanwhile, not one of them has engaged the black guests in conversation at all. This is all ridiculous and embarrassing. I feel so sorry for Eboni and the hostess and guests. This is just insanity. Sonja screams at the top of her lungs and storms off. Luann goes to try to calm her down. Sonja starts rambling about Ramona and how she disrupted the Shabbat. Seriously? Sonja is giving Ramona a run for her money on the rudeness scale.

Finally the normal guests get to talk. One lady shared that she almost died in childbirth and so did her premature son. Of course, Ramona keeps interrupting because she cannot ever simply listen to another person. The woman discusses how black women are treated differently than white women when pregnant. It results in a much higher death rate for black women who are pregnant. Ramona makes everything about here and isn’t comprehending what this person is sharing. I kind of feel bad for Ramona because she doesn’t know how to listen to other people. It’s sad really. Suddenly, Ramona wants to go home. Please do Ramona. What I need in this moment is for Luann to break out into song and sing Money Can’t Buy You Class. Instead we get a montage of Ramona’s previous horrible behavior.
Sonja’s Dog Marley Is A Scene Stealer
Suddenly, with no more Shabbat at all, everyone is back home. Luann drops in on Ramona. Ramona just wants to focus on Sonja’s bad behavior. It’s like she doesn’t even realize how rude she was to literally every person in the house. She is full of excuses. Luann is over her. Eboni goes to Sonja’s place to chat. She has this odd opinion of Sonja. Somehow, she thinks that Sonja needs to stand up for herself. She calls Sonja out for PEEING IN ARCHIES DRIVEWAY! WHO DOES THAT? Sonja’s dog mischievously eats all the meats off the charcuterie board. It was literally the most interesting moment of this show so far.

Luann, Ramona and Eboni are going to dinner back at the Alpine Restaurant. If they don’t eat raclettes or fondue I am going to be pissed. I really am starting to like Eboni without Leah. They are meeting with three ladies from the Fortune Society, a charity that Luann has supported. They help prisoners transition back into society. One of the young women attempts to tell her story but Ramona once again interrupts to tell the young woman what her conviction for conspiracy means. I’m ready to let Ramona go after this season. She just gets more annoying every season.
Back To The Alpine Restaurant
The young lady continues to try to tell her story despite Ramona’s assholery. She was in Riker’s Island for six months before she even had a court date. She was 17 at the time. Ramona cannot stop interrupting the story. There have been so many real opportunities to learn more about the Jewish religion. To learn more about the issues with prisons in this country. I would like to listen but Ramona cannot STFU! I am so ready for her to be gone and take Leah with her. Suddenly, the conversation shifts to Sonja’s drinking problem. Eboni is way too kind to Ramona. Still no actual food. Just drinks. Eboni thinks that she and Ramona have a lot in common. Ramona says they are both “mind deaf.” Luann and I are confused.

Sadly, Leah is done with quarantine so we have to have a scene with her and her family. The most interesting thing about this scene was that Bravo didn’t blur the word shit on the back of her sweatshirt. Leah talks to her ex about what private school they want to send their kid to. Her ex thinks $60K a year for high school is ridiculous. I agree.
Are You My Father?
Ebonie meets with the lady that is investigating to see who her daddy is. She also got her grandmother’s ashes. Her friend Natalie is there to find out the latest news with her. I like Natalie immediately. Can she replace Leah and/or Ramona. The big news is that the investigator found three men, who are brothers that could be her possible father. She thinks she knows which one it is. He has two daughters. Eboni is super emotional. I am really into these scenes with her. She gets to see a photo of him. She is so happy. But, this could go terribly wrong.
Next week: More stupidity. And Harry Dubin is involved. Le Sigh. Eboni is on the Bravo Chat Room tonight. I’ll update in comments if there is anything interesting.
Ebony has met her father! It seems like he is welcoming of her. OH they met on video due to Covid. She has also talked to her sisters. She says they look alike and have the same personality traits. Then again, she thinks she shares personality traits with Ramona. lol. Eboni said it was hard to go through the second season. Eboni says that a few of Leah’s interviews shocked her a little bit. Eboni is friends with Crystal from RHOBH. She also had dinner with Reza. She is very close with a couple of people from Married To Medicine. Eboni is asked about the craziest DM she has gotten from being on the show. She said someone “extremely famous” DMed her a single heart emoji. She says he is a business man who is a former athlete. For some reason my first thought was OJ and she better leave that alone. She says he is single.
A-Rod… He loves Bravo
I thought A-Rod too because he’s a former athlete turned businessman, but she said he was from the same state she & Gizelle were born in. They were both born in North Carolina & A-Rod was born in New York. I wish it was him though. They’d make a great looking couple.
The answer is ARod. The answer is ALWAYS ARod. LOL
Next they ask Eboni about the Jen Shah situation. And Erika and Tom. She gives nothing important. Eboni does say that stealing soaps and lotions from the maid’s cart is theft. Um. Ut Oh. Porsha wants to know if she can get arrested for having sex in a car in her own driveway. That’s apparently sort of borderline. Back in High School there was a lot of sex happening in public places. Once a cop came up on our car. We were just making out and stuff not really doing the deed. lol. It was still scary.
I actually got busted in the act in the backseat during college. The cop was actually polite, um considering. He knocked on the window and stepped away from the car. I went to school at a really wild college town. Ah, youth.
I have a little issue with purloining products from the maid’s cart.
Hey TT….did you catch when Eboni called Gizelle “Soror?” She must be an AKA too like Gizelle, Karen, Wendy, Jackie on Married to Medicine and probably a few more folk that haven’t revealed they are in a BGLO. Anyway….I’ve GOTTA BELIEVE that production gave Ramona instructions on how to be as rude as she can possibly be and gave Eboni instructions not to TOTALLY go off on her. I refuse to believe that Ramona acts like this with her “50 friends” when the cameras are off. Anyone behaving like she did all the time would be a pariah. Marley is RIDICULOUSLY cute and is making me ALMOST want to get another pet. When my Shih Tzu Kirby Sebastian died (yes I called him by both his first and middle name), I was also going through my divorce and I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE……I REALLY DID. I can’t even describe how much it hurt me and I’ve been unable to commit to getting another dog since then. Anyway, I too have been caught “doing it” in a car. I was under a blanket when the cop came up and cops were really chilled about it back in the day. NOW…..they will actually arrest you for it.
She is an AKA. She was worn paraphernalia on the show and has mentioned on social media that’s why she got that Gucci jacket she wears in the confessional in pink and green.
After tonights episode and being embarrassed for Ramona and Sonja Im starting to wonder if Ramona is getting senile. That behavior is sooo off. Sonja does it because shes drunk and wants to kiss Ebonis ass but Ramona was disgusting.!!!
Did we ever get the story about how Eboni doesn’t know who her dad might be? Her mom is still alive- was it a random no-name hookup?
Apparently she said she didn’t know because she had sex with three different guys around that time. I mean. It was the 80s. We were all fucking around. lol.
You shoulda seen us in the 70s… 🙂
I mean, I’m glad I got all the dick when I could get it. 🙂
You said a mouth full sister 🤣
Yall are too funny. Mouth full. Haha
TT,
I have watched every season on RHONY, and I have always been mortified at Ramona’s behavior, but this year, especially this last episode was awful. I cannot fathom how anyone would act like Ramon did and the next day not have any remorse. Sonja is a mess, but she has redeeming qualities and seems like a good human. Ramona is despicable. Do you think that Ramona and or Sonja will still be on the show next year?
Thanks!
Archie seems like the nicest person in the world. I so wanted to go to that dinner and compliment her napkins and talk with her in depth. You can tell she really focuses on people when she talks with them. And I’d love to experience her Shabbat dinner — although not with Ramona and Sonja. They were so over the top that my husband and I were literally grabbing each other in shock and then grabbing the remote to rewind to Eboni’s face with that wine glass. It was funny, but horrifying. Someone should have grabbed Ramona and Sonja and walked them right out of there the way my mom would in church when she’d hiss in my ear, DO I HAVE TO TAKE YOU OUTSIDE?!! Poor LeAnn didn’t know what to do. There’s no stopping either of them once they get going, it just makes it worse and worse if anyone tries to stop them. I’ll give them credit – the NY Housewives know how to be messy and it’s still interesting. Really only Leah acts like the other franchises where it’s just fighting for fighting sake.
DON’T MAKE ME PULL THIS CAR OVER!
I was terrified of my mother. She was the disciplinarian most of the time. There were some spankings when I was really little. But after that she was just someone not to be fucked with. I don’t know what I thought she would actually do if I acted up. I just knew not to act up. I did think she might kill a teacher who was on playground duty and jerked me up by the hair for playing kiss chase and trying to run to her for help because Fat Leonard was trying to kiss me. I peed my leotard. My mother wanted to know why and I was sure that teacher (she wasn’t mind) was going to die.
I guess my point is that my mother COMMANDED respect. Taught me manners at a very early age. Growing up in Libya and traveling the world together for almost six years, I was exposed to other cultures and Mama even took me to an actual Libyan wedding. I have no idea how we were invited. I was fine until they killed a goat in front of us. Also I remember going to the bull fights in Spain and cried the whole time because they killed the bull. The locals were laughing at me. We also went to an outdoor Opera or something in Italy and I had just eaten a lot of really good ravioli. I puked at the Opera and again on the elevator when we all had to go home. That was unacceptable behavior. lol.
I wish I would have kept a diary. We were also surrounded by the military once when we were roaming around somewhere were weren’t allowed to be. Like a billion people in a circle with machine guns. Once we got trapped in an elevator in an Arabic county…Turkey maybe and had to crawl out a hole to the back to the hotel?
My point and I did have one….lol is that you need to be brought up learning how to use silverware, have manners, if there is a goat head at dinner you smile and be gracious and always respect the hostess. This is just not how cultured people behave. It’s like Ramona has never gone anywhere that might be a learning experience and just STFU and watch. She ate half of everything on the bus. You can actually live until your hostess serves you no matter how hungry you are.
Soooo true. Basic basic manners are lacking with Ramona. I remember in early seasons her talking about her traumatic childhood due to her father at least. I don’t remember details but remember it not being a good situation so maybe she blocked out any of the actual good lessons and behaves like a crazy person because of that.
That is great that you were exposed to so many different cultures at a young age. Your stories about your mom remind me of my own mother. She raised three kids by herself after my dad died. She spanked some but not a lot and we knew she did not play. But don’t let anyone come for one of her cubs. Having worked in high poverty urban schools most of my career, none of the students I had were as rude and ill-mannered as Ramona. Funny that someone with so much money has no intellectual curiosity.
My mama was a firecracker. She would have jerked a knot in Ramona’s head if she was her mama. That would have NEVER happened. I would literally probably be dead if I had behaved like that. I can’t imagine any circumstance when I would act that way I was raised so much better than that.
Ramona was truly embarrassing and seems to have no idea. As an Italian though, I am mortified you’d have people in your home for two hours with no food. Ramona needs to keep a protein bar in her purse. But as much as I despise Ramona, I love despising Ramona. Her ignorance entertains me. While Leah depresses and annoys me. I forward through her scenes.
But seriously, how do you top peeing in someone’s driveway?
There were appetizers beforehand, luanne reminded her and she said they weren’t enough 😑
I’m still back at the vases in cages
Girl same. If they all knew how to behave, THAT would be my issue. But given the nature of the dinner, I didn’t even have time to go there. The house was lovely but the metal crates were weird as fuck and all of her art is dog paintings?
Yes that house was massive and probably has a lot of interesting design features including several powder rooms with flushing toilets
Flushing toilets and ice that isn’t a weird color?
I opened my business 14 years ago – and those metal shelving units were a thing at high point furniture market in a couple of the “hipper” showrooms. They were definitely having a moment. It was when industrial was making such a splash for the first time. I bought one small unit for my store. Nothing sat straight – and our look wasn’t industrial so it looked out of place. I was thinking the same of Archies’s house. It needs a very minimalistic space.
If it were the 80’s or 90’s – I’d say it was an 80’s thing. What do you blame bad decisions from the 2000’s on? the 00’s???
I’m STILL trying to come up with something lol!
I just started watching and I’m horrified at Ramona’s behavior. Have some respect.
Ramona is such an effing liar, claiming her rudeness should be excused because she hadn’t eaten anything.all day, when the previous episode even did a flashback of her stuffing her face with hummus, cheese, etc. in the van on the way there, not to mention eating something off the table at the beginning of the dinner.
Aggressive and completely self-centered, making big pronouncements about just wanting to express her feelings and opinions and not being allowed to, but can’t listen to anyone else for one second. And “The Apologizer” schtick is just damage control. So arrogant.
Luann can be a piece of work, but let’s give her some credit for her philanthropy (#BamaRush Roll Tide!). Consistently throughout the seasons, we have seen Luann giving back. Yes, some of it has been cringe-worthy. Yes, some of it was court-ordered. And yes, we have seen the other ladies have parties for charity. But Luann has always given time to the actual people.
You are so right about Eboni being better without Leah. Everything is better without Leah. Maybe Eboni is finally realizing that aligning with Leah was not such a good idea.
Luann truly has been consistent with the charities she supports. I love these scenes and want more. Re the dinner, the most embarrassing meal i have ever scene, except the Teresa table flipping meal. Sonja seems clueless about her behavior. She peed in the driveway of the lovely hostess home. I hope her neighbors didn’t see it. Sonja just laughs it off. Ramona and Sonja have no couth. Ready for both to be replaced next season, but it is Bravo. Le sigh…
You just reminded me, besides the table flipping, there has been a lot of glass breaking and cake throwing with the Jersey girls! Throwing a whole cake across a restaurant was so inappropriate!
Ramona’s dancing on a table with poop covered shoes in Salem and now this behave in a private home, ranks pretty high on the chart of embarrassing moments!
Craziest, not necessarily embarrassing, was the dinner at Scary Island with Kelly!
Maybe Sonja is uncouth, but it seems more likely in this case that she was sh-t faced drunk. When I watched her interview with Josh Flagg she was very well behaved and spoken. She also started yelling and was out of control at the dinner table. That’s what people do when they are that drunk. Someone said she was drinking tequila all night. Why would you even have tequila available at a Shabbat dinner? I don’t care if she doesn’t get plastered in the off season of the show. She obviously has a problem with alcohol when you are peeing in someone’s driveway instead of using the restroom. How does she not get pee all over that sparkly gown she was wearing?
Also, I’m sure Sonja went to a matchmaker as part of her storyline, but she does want to find a man. Hopefully the pool of men in NYC don’t watch the show or they would never be in a serious relationship with someone who behaves the way Sonja does. She was actually quite polite and sober when she went on that blind date. The man was cringeworthy to me though when he was talking about his back problems and surgery. Sonja was probably thinking he couldn’t have good sex with a bad back. Next.
You’re absolutely correct. Now that Bethany AND Dorinda are gone, LuAnn is the last one of the housewives we actually see doing charity work.
Ramona is as stupid as our president. I am so sorry that you TT followers continue to believe her. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.
Your comment is unclear. Are we supposed to be believing Ramona? Or TT? Or not? About what? Is it the CURRENT president stupid? Or the previous one?
Please educate me.
I am confused as well. What “she” are we believing
Well, Beets is right. Ramona does sound a lot like trump. But I don’t think that’s what was meant.
I scroll up from your bizarre proclamation and see Ramona described as an “effin’ liar”, an “embarrassment”, “horrifying”, and “getting senile”. I find not one word endorsing her behavior. BeetsWhy, do you require assistance? Have you fallen, BeetsWhy, and find yourself unable to get up? Are you trapped under something heavy? Why, Beets? Why? Please blink your response in standardized Morse code.
Hahahaha.
Yes to the Beet Down! Take it to her DalaiMama!😍
These people are fucking impossible. Don’t waste your breath, trust me. I’m talking about you, Beetswhy, and all of your imaginary censorship, fake outrage, forever mad and sad, always persecuted, endless victimhood. Give it a rest, for fucks sake. This is why I drink.
Why don’t you move to Alabama? I’m sure Mo Brooks would love to have you. Good luck getting an education or healthcare, of course. Ugh. Oh, are you getting persecuted again? Go watch one of your 800 tv channels or 50,000 youtube channels or million stupid FB pages and do some “research” on it. Censored, my ass. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Will it NEVER end? I’m almost welcoming a case of covid at this point. Christ.
I think what Ramona said/meant about her and Eboni was “mind depth.” In other words, a deeper mental level, not superficial. They both think they know everything,
In thinking they know everything & are so “mentally deep” then yes Ramona & Eboni have very much in common! 🤨
Why do you think leaving our troops in Afghanistan is correct? I will wait…
Crickets. lol. No one wants to take your argument bait. Take it somewhere else.
We come here for a break from the news.
Beets, Sweetie, I know you are our resident contrarian, but are you okay? But I seem to be missing the point about how Ramona is an uncivilized animal having anything to do with the situation in Afghanistan. Help us understand. Also email me if you need to talk. I’m here for you.
Haha, I was about to say she is our resident evil but that sounds a little harsh. Resident Contrarian sounds more polite and accurate!
I love Beets or she would not be here. I am confused about how we got from Ramona being a cunt to Afghanistan. But I am hoping she will tell us. Generally, I just think that Beets takes the opposite side on every argument, and I kind of like that. And I like her a lot. I think maybe she just needs a friend. And I always need a friend. We are two cranky bitches who I could see in the old folks home together. We might try to kill each other but that would be okay. 🙂
Also, I am kind of a know it all and I have no clue about the Afghanistan situation. I do know that I think we need to mind our own business as a country sometimes and Afghanistan is not our business..
Afghanistan became America’s business when they came between the Soviets and them in the late 70’s. Proceeded to train and arm them while opposing the Soviet Union, only to come back and fight the same people they trained and armed in the early 2000’s after 9/11. That being said 20years of atonement has made enough people rich and enough is enough. Call it poor judgement, call it atonement, call it being an opportunist. Enough is enough and home front problems are a calling. Just my opinion.
Remember Teecee? Where did she go ?
Was she one of the cat ladies??
Ha Noe. She was someone I knew online before I ever made this site. Unfortunately, she took her ball and went home. I don’t remember why. I miss her and Tobacco Rhoda a lot. But same situation, they didn’t want to hang out with me anymore. I miss the both a lot. But it is what it is.
I know you love her. I understand. The thing about Beets is she comes in and is often unkind to other commentators. She doesn’t truly share her opinion so we can see who she is. I would love to hear her thoughts on any topics without attacking other commentators in the process. A little grace and respect would be appreciated.
You’re the best! We need more of this kindness and grace in our world.
Beets is a contrarian. She is here to be on the side we disagree with. And she is kind of a bitch. 🙂 But, she is my contrarian. There is no pointing in fighting with her or taking offense. She seeks attention. She wants to evoke a response. She’s trolling. But I love her anyway. I’m sure she hates that. 🙂
Mea culpa – I just posted a snippy comment to Beets before reading this. Forgive me, Glorious Leader. I took one of the Good Pills today and it’s kicking in. xoxo
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! You can be snippy to Beets all you want! I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK!
I saw the second and third episodes of Season 1 today. I think that Luann looks even better now than she did then. NOT WORK — she looked younger then, but better now.
Ramona is just as awful now as she was then. Maybe even worse. WHAT did Mario ever see in her?
Something funny …ISH. Jill Zarin was pissed off at the LYING Ramona. They had a tennis grudge match, It was at MISSY’S HIUSE. Missy … as in the one Tom cheated on Lu with. Ramona had expert tennis player Missy as her ringer. Jill brought Luann, tge “unknown” factor. Lu and Jill trounced them. So Missy had a little grudge of her own that she carried until … Tom. Yuck! Tom and Harry Dubin should just fuck each other and ride off into the sunset.
Was TOM in a scene too? It was at a bar where he(?) and some other douche tried to sex talk Ramona and friend…
I was watching some of Season One yesterday. Luann told Ramona that Luann’s daughter had gotten into the private boarding school that she wanted to attend. Ramona spent the next ten minutes talking about how she would never send Avery to boarding school because she (Ramona) would be soooo lonely. LuAnn could barely get a word in edgewise. And I then realized that for Ramona, everything is and always has been about Ramona.
Luann is truly incredibly, naturally beautiful.
Ramona is a nutjob, but her face looks pretty amazing with the work she’s had.
I’m due for a tuneup pretty soon…
Ramona should be on posters plastered all
over the city & country entitled: DO NOT ACT LIKE THIS CUNT! I’ve been embarrassed by the behavior of various members across the Housewife franchises but Lordy – NEVER anything like this! Her claims at being in NY society was never – pardon – kosher. She would never accept behavior like this from her daughter. And Sonja was no better. Peeing in someone’s driveway? If she had to go so badly, there were bushes outside, weren’t they? All this was more than cringe worthy. I don’t know if there is even a term to adequately describe it. I would say they acted like children but that’s an insult to children. This was not cute. It was not funny. It was Nuclear! 🤯
Ramona is not a part of NY high society. The only person who had that type of access was actually Tinsley which is why they hated her so much. Ramona is an outsider looking in.She, Sonia and Luann are dealing with a small pool of men. The men they want are not looking at 60 year old women. Again, why they all disliked Tinsley.
I love Eboni without Leah! If Eboni decides to return next season I hope one of her friend Natalie signs on or they bring Tinsley to film with her.
Ramona’s words to the staff in the kitchen explains her bad behavior and the bad behavior an entire segment of American society. Instead of embracing change they perceive it as a personal attack against them. Heaven forbid she actually listens to and acknowledge someone’s experience.
Sonja needs to take a season or two off and regroup. Bless her heart, she’s a mess in need of a really good therapists to help. It’s stopped being entertaining many seasons ago.
“ Sonja needs to take a season or two off and regroup.”
Unfortunately, I would imagine she needs the Bravo check. The cost of that house has to be astronomical!
Good point! The irony is that the toaster oven that has become a joke may have actually been her ticket to financial stability but the poor woman just can’t get her act together.
I think she continues to hope for another rich man to rescue her.
Eboni race baits. Leah is a hypocrite. Sonja is unwell. Lu is a hoot. Ramona is an idiot. We need Beth back!
I actually wandered away and brushed my teeth for three minutes on vibrating gum health rather than watch the ending.
Next week I may floss.
Ramona is the epitome of the ‘ugly ‘ American stereotype . I don’t know if I can watch RHONY anymore especially in lockdown ( Australia) her and Sonja need to have a hiatus and do some soul searching as they’re not fun or interesting to watch anymore. I actually like Eboni when she is without Leah.. I find her calming , she really thinks before speaking and I think everyone can learn from how she conducts herself , a very classy and beautiful woman.
I was expecting Ramona to be bad, but what we witnessed was horrific. I wanted to slap her. I truly cannot believe the nerve of this woman. She does not believe that white people, in most situations, especially rich while women, are treated very differently than minorities.
Look at LuAnn’s arrest – she was beating up cops! George Floyd was complying and he was murdered in broad daylight. If LuAnn were a woman if color, I have no doubt that her outcome would be VASTLY different.
Ramona needs to go. This behavior is unacceptable in any society and should not be rewarded with Bravo.
“should not be rewarded with Bravo” What? Bravo rewards many of their cast such as Teresa, Erika, that gal from SLC to name just a few.
Shame on Ebony‘s mother for not providing assistance as to who the father is. I would bet that her mother does know who the father is. How cruel to prevent Eboni from having a relationship growing up with her father because of her mother reluctance to admit the truth.
Yeah, something is wrong with the story of Ebon’s father. Were we told that the mother said it could be one of three guys? So when the mother got pregnant why didn’t she ask the three guys to take a paternity test? Even if you don’t want the guy to interfere with raising your child wouldn’t you want to give Eboni the chance to have a father growing up? Wouldn’t you want to get some child support? So why didn’t Eboni contact each of the three guys?
Also, the DNA detective gal told Eboni her mother was born in 1960. That means Ramona is older than her mother. This age difference makes for odd casting for a group of “girlfriends”.
I thought the same thing. Why would she keep that from her? It’s cruel.
What in the HAIL did I watch last night???
I was speechless and like Ramona, that’s pretty hard to accomplish. I have never seen grown people act so atrociously in my life. People raised by wolves act better.
I am now convinced we are being punked and that production told them to crank up the volume if they want another season. There is literally no other explanation.
There is zero way eboni would sit back down and smile and compliment ramona if it wasn’t staged. Even if she somehow excused the Shabbat behavior she would have lost her shit at the dinner with the reformed prisoners. Honestly. No one has THAT much self control. I can’t even imagine the level of embarrassment eboni must feel. It’s a scene I would have really liked to see—eboni could easily outwit and outsmart Ramona verbally. It didn’t even need to be about race (I’m pretty sure this is where ramona is an equal opportunity lunatic)—if eboni just dealt with her disgraceful behavior she might have come out of it looking like a hero. It would have been some much deserved reality. I would have applauded!
I really hate this season.
I have a sister who is so much like Ramona it’s frightening. We haven’t spoken in 2 years and I’ll be fine with never speaking to her again. I think Eboni played it exactly the right way with Ramona. Arguing with her does no good – in fact it always makes things worse. The best way to get someone to calm down and, possibly, shut up, is to compliment them. I’m hoping Bravo is just setting up Ramona for retirement by airing her horrible behavior this season. Most people want her gone now (and want Sonja to get whatever help she needs to get back on track). I’m over Leah but I do want Eboni back again.
I like Eboni. I also have a sister i need to somewhat walk on eggshells with.
Yes, arguing is no good, you calm things down. I’m kind of over Sonja and Ramona and their horrible behavior. I’d be drunk in my twenties and didn’t act that badly.
I wouldn’t want to be friends with anyone who acts like that.
I have never cringed so much watching a dinner party in my life. Is it acting and the other guests were warned in advance? In real life, Ramona and Sonja both would have been TOLD to leave my home. I also couldn’t help but wonder about the food at the Black Shabbat when it was finally served. It looked like tacos washed down with tequila? I was under the impression that a nice brisket or roast chicken was served at a Shabbat dinner.
I know it’s now a popular opinion, but I’ve liked Eboni from the beginning. I agree that she’s much better without Leah in the picture but she seems like a genuinely good friend. Ramona is rude, crude and empty headed. I wanted to learn more about Shabbatt and was interested in hearing what Archie and the other guests had to say about their lives. Ramona wasn’t interested so no one got to speak. Archie had the patience of a saint because I would have tossed both Ramona & Sonia out the door. Lu looked like a deer in headlights through most of the evening, and again at the dinner at the German restaurant. I wanted to hear that young girl’s story but, once again, Ramona made it all about herself. I did love the scene at Sonja’s where Marley was stealing the meat off the tray.
SAME! I feel like we missed out on so much to I guess publicize Ramona being a KAREN. If we were invited to a “Black Shabbat” I’d really like to hear from the black people. But of course Ramona would not let that happen.
Look, I am old people too. And old people were raised with manners. This was just disgusting.
I couldn’t stand that scene with Marley and I love dogs more than most people. Ramona and Sonya don’t care enough to train their dogs. They let them shit everywhere and take food from platters meant for people. Gross and irresponsible
I wouldn’t let my dog do it — she knows better. In this case, it didn’t look like either of the women was going to touch the food so I enjoyed watching Marley take it. After all, why the dog be better trained than its’ owner?
I’m not defending Ramona. What I’ll say is she ate hummus on the bus, and then sat for 2-3 hours at the table for the prayer and didn’t eat. I get hungry sometimes, too, and it makes me emotional. That’s no excuse for her behavior. Being high strung and having low blood sugar are a bad combination. I’m sure it’s a normal production thing to ply hungry women with alcohol. That, combined with Ramona’s mental/emotional/health issues is bad. She calmed down after she ate. She should keep a protein bar in her purse. I do.
My issue with Leah is that she is so easily triggered by anyone who reminds her of her mother (such as the 60-something year old Ramona) that she ends up screaming, insulting, and demeaning her. Leah talks down to Ramona. Ramona has an unfiltered approach, but is she wrong? I love the flashback where she told Bethany she would screw up her relationship with Jason. Didn’t she?
Then Sonja jumps in and parrots back everything Leah said, to Ramona, and then Ramona feels the need to defend herself. We end up with these hysterical back and forths, which wouldn’t happen if Leah just shut up.
Leah takes out her anger toward her mother on Ramona. Leah needs a therapist. Religion won’t save her. Forgiving her mother and moving on will. I can’t stand Leah.
I like Ebony without Leah. She’d have a greater impact on the show if Leah wasn’t there.
Leah’s mom has ptsd like I do. She still sees Leah as an out of control drug addict that can relapse at any second. Nothing worse than having a child go down that rabbit hole. I’m a completely different person than I was 10 years ago. It’s the worst feeling in the world.
Somewhere between Tequila Shabbat and Rikers Island it occurred to me that this has become a completely different show since it started – the Jerry Springer of RHs.
I can’t believe I’m still watching. I really can’t believe I’m commenting.
“Somewhere between Tequila Shabbat and Rikers Island”
I’m DEAD. LOLOLOLOLOLOLLLOLOL
BEST COMMENT EVER.
I just can’t with Ramona’s hubris in arguing with the woman recounting the story of being refused pain meds while pregnant and in excruciating pain… and Ramona’s fictionalized claim that the cruel treatment she herself suffered at the hands of a black nurse resulted in her choosing to never have another child. What a bilious dingbat. As if we all didn’t hear her telling Heather a few seasons back that she chose not to have another baby after being traumatized when Avery was born not breathing.
Yeah, what a bogus reason to not have another baby. What difference did it make that the nurse was Black as Ramona said? You could have a problem nurse of any race.
Ramona = “bilious dingbat”. This is perfect.
Her squawking interjections/interruptions essentially ruin the show. It’s like she tripled her Adderall dosage.
Not that I believe the story she conveniently pulled out of her ass, but if her history of how she treats wait staff and hotel staff is any indication of how she treated the medical staff at the hospital, I wouldn’t blame the nurse for being mean to her.
That is such a good point! Brava!
Im not sure what I was expecting from Leah at first. She’s the same woman that was arrested for the cop thing. Why am I expecting her to act like Tinsley, she’s young and craves attention, she’s no different than Sonya. Maybe covid has made their grey gardens personas more rediculous than normal. But I think Ramona has finally topped her rude self. She really hasn’t been the same since Mario and we have to watch her be rude, obnoxious, and ignorant on a weekly basis. It’s looking more and more like they will give Ramona some time off, maybe give her the friend option. Bring in Tins, Dorinda, even keep Eboni and Leah and Luanne, the show will have a different feel. Who knows plus they need to go on a real destination vacation again. I’m on the fence with Sonya, her drunken antics make me FF alot of her scenes.
Dorinda, Luann, Eboni, Bethanney and one more would be awesome.
….and Tinsley
I’ve fast forwarded all of Sonya. She’s just disgusting now. Is she high thinking that some successful man is going to take her away and give her the lifestyle she craves? The only one that has a shot is Luann.
OMG! I wasn’t going to watch this shitshow, but now I HAVE TO!! They need to scrap this crew and start OVER. Or cancel it. I miss Bethanney, hell I miss Jill at this point! Oy-
If I were you, do something else while watching, it doesn’t seem nearly as awful if say you’re cleaning or working. I found the sound of water running really drowns out the screaming! And yes I miss Bethenny, like when she yelled at Luanne about getting her into rehab or Tom was cheating, classic!
Oh! I definitely was multi tasking! Lord I really miss the good old RHONY days, and especially Bethanney! It was just as awful as I knew it would be! RHOBH now, I’m hanging on EVERY WORD-
My cable went out, will be watching later. I did see the part where Sutton is over their nonsense blind loyalty to her. You’d think they were laundering the money for her, I kid😁 well I’m waiting on those Rinna’s lip plumpers!
It’s gonna tank. Who wants disfigured lips like rinna?
The ratings are horrible because Eboni and Leah are unwatchable. Viewers have had enough with the constant preaching, lecturing.
I really wanted to hear from the black guests at dinner, their experiences are important for us to grow. DAMN RAMONA, everyone is in pain while giving birth geez shut the hell up. I will applaud if she gets kicked off this show
The cringe this episode damn. Even if you take race out of it, the lack of empathy and manic behavior coming out of Ramona was off the charts. Usually this makes for great TV, but obviously not in this politically charged setting.
What the fuck are these producers thinking I’d like to know. If their objective was twitter and reddit cancelling another one of their shows they are making great progress. Including Judaism was ingenious. Why don’t they take them to a Mosque next.
Ramona was in RARE form for Black Shabbat. Though she’s a rude, narcissitic, entitled, probably low-key racist from our country’s past….it’s always been something about her that I found amusing and entertaining. This is probably because she kinda reminds me of a few Caucasian women I’m frequently around. HOW-IN-SO-EVER….she went too far last night. She was RUDE to ERRRRRRRRRRBODY. From the hostess Archie, to Eboni, to the Black folk at the dinner….she was insufferable. And the more I think about it….the more I think that they are setting Ramona up to be herself so that they can substantiate getting rid of her. THAT’S why Eboni has stopped going back and forth with her so much….that’s why Eboni is seeming to want to bond with her when all she is doing is exhibiting bad behavior. They’ve told Eboni to stand down and allow (and probably provoke) Ramona to crank it up so that she will doom herself to getting booted. Unfortunately, Sonya is kind of like the dolphins that get caught in the Tuna nets. They’re setting the trap for Ramona, but Sonya keeps falling into it too. Damn.
I literally gasped out loud at Ramona’s behavior.
That is all.
I am so sick and tired of this show being up Eboni’s ass trying to please her. It was better when it was up Bethenny’s ass plugging skinny girl shit. What I wouldn’t give for a spicy margarita hold the salt.
Tracing back to Leviticus in the Torah,, it is against Jewish law to get a tattoo. But Bravo doesn’t respect tradition or anything that is holy. Bravo only respects the sign of the dollar.
I am sorry I’m in a bad mood because my kid is leaving for college tomorrow.
And I think I did a good job keeping quiet regarding my opinion of their Shabbat.
But seriously, Bravo sucks.
Ramona’s behavior at the Black Shabbat dinner was beyond awful. I’ve been watching since season one and realized when Bravo originally filmed the exterior of Ramona’s apartment building, holy shit!, that she lived in the building next to mine. Her condo board probably objected to filming and shortly thereafter Bravo filmed the exterior of an older building that’s probably on Park Avenue. I used to see Ramona, Mario and Avery in the neighborhood. It’s true what they say about tv adding pounds because in person she’s really tiny with skinny legs. Always wearing extremely high heels. I would fall flat on my face, LOL!
