TheMole

Ramona has overstepped her mark this season. Bethenny is gonna take her revenge with the emails.

It was probably a producer prompt with Carole. They have to lead into it. So they set it up and the rest usually flows naturally, reactions, etc. Lu might have had legitimate reasons for wanting that bathroom to herself apart from being snobby.

She always drank. She toned it down for sure for a while but she's back drinking the way she used to now. She was seen already drinking several times on camera. Her drunken behavior has been atrocious behind the scenes. And she will pay for it at the reunion. Ramona is going to eat her words about not being interested in Tipsy Girl at the reunion. She was very interested. Right up until the month Sonja launched it. Dorinda was telling the truth, Peter did approach her. She's doing her own thing, she wanted nothing to do with it. But I think Sonja doesn't know the truth about Peter. I see the restaurant had a soft opening but Sonja was in London and hasn't mentioned it. If John was interested I wouldn't be surprised. He is friends with Peter for 20 years.

I'm not sure if this is one of the sites where it's a rule not to mention her blog but Tamara Tattles had all the exclusive tea on this and it was totally accurate. I have no idea what we're going to see next week but I can tell you that Sonja apparently went to Dorinda's closet, put on nightwear or lingerie her dead husband bought her and eventually passed out on a table downstairs. Ramona apparently it's some damage to the property as well. I think Bethenny doesn't even stay the night... I think she gets out of there.

Per scene. So as the article below says it can work out quite well. It's amazing to think that Lu probably made a ton last season when she was in her third year of demotion. Back in S6 she didn't sign on until the fifth week of filming. Actually I wonder what the contract stipulates for the reunion. I wonder if it's a fixed amount, desperate to the rest of the season. http://pge.sx/1HIoA1f

I've only she had her podcast on Radio Andy. Never head of her being referred to as a Bravo employee - maybe she just does paid cameos

Salaries this year were kept under wraps. I do know when Sonja and Lu had pay for play contracts it was $20,000 a season. Soo... you see why Sonja was mad about the Berkshires? There are negotiations every year but I would guess Bethenny and Ramona make the most. There is a clothing/beauty allowance for promo events and the reunion. Production picks up the tab for dinners and drinks (the latter usually causes a dispute if the ladies stay on drinking after filming and turn in a hefty receipt). I don't know what Sonja's house is really like. I know some cast members aren't crazy about filming there but she opens her house up more than anyone so it's a sweet deal for production. I do know there's almost always damage caused by crew to the point she won't let them use the toilets incase they brake. I get the impression that it's because everything is quite old and damages easily because the crew aren't sloppy.

She's better off without the interns... well now that she has Tinsley. From what I understand she can now afford to have an assistant although that poor kid can't cover everything... production had to send a helper over to get her ready for her scheduled interviews. There are still people helping her out for free that we've seen on TV: stylists, make-up artists, the facialist, psychics, her dentist. She doesn't or rarely has paid them according to a few of them and stories that circulate from production and the cast. Everyone else has a team for events from PR to beauty and they get paid. I think the free labor backfired because the interns were only there temporarily, whatever the deal was but maybe she's starting to get it together.

Ramona goes into her own world and lets very little bother her. The hardest time she had on the show was when her state of her marriage was questioned. If Bethenny wanted to be really nasty she could hit her with whatever she's heard from Mario's girlfriend. Ramona would draw blood in retaliation - and as you said B has more to lose so she probably won't. So to go a little lighter she'll probably focus on Ramona's lies about Tipsy Girl. Because she hates liars and hypocrites and keeps it real... that's the image she wants to project.

I'll add a TL;DR to the end of this. From an early point in filming the season there was some discontent among the cast with regards to Bethenny's involvement on the show. She may not hold a producer credit but whatever she wants she gets. Several other members of the cast were annoyed that they were working more than she was and doing more because she wasn't available. It was very clear that Bethenny had begun to distance herself from the show. She wants to leave on her own terms and I think with this new show on the horizon she finally will. It is extremely likely that Ramona would've been one cast member that felt that resentment towards Bethenny. Ramona has done all nine seasons of the show; she doesn't get paid as much as Bethenny, she won't get the same budget for clothes, food, events and she doesn't have as much say with production that Bethenny does (even though Ramona does take plenty of liberties). I'm sure some of you guys have heard about the one Housewife that trains for the show like it's the Olympics and this is Ramona. She'll check on alliances with other cast mates before filming every season and practically does background checks on new cast members (You'd think she just Googles them but she could legitimately be a PI at this stage because she'll usually know people that run in their circle and will dig for information). The last time she had a real storyline was when she was divorcing Mario. But there's nothing going on in her life that's RHONY worthy so she has to create drama. Who better to do it with than Bethenny? What pisses Bethenny off the most after Bryn being brought up in the show is the fact she can see what Ramona is doing a mile away. And as we watch this play out, Ramona is plugging this feud on social media with interviews and posting articles about it. TL;DR Bethenny didn't pull her weight this season from the off, some of the cast got very annoyed including Ramona, her beef with Bethenny is contrived based on resentment of Bethenny getting better treatment.

The original date from the person who had this email and forwarded them to Bethenny was from last July but Bethenny privately showed these to people during the filming of this season so she may not have had them that long. I don't know if they'll crop up but with the "blackout" fight coming up sometime this season she may have used this information in some way. The biggest thing here is that it proves Ramona was lying about why she "turned down" Tipsy Girl on the reunion. She didn't and it wasn't over the name.

Any kind of pen. I imagine Sharpied Chanels full of pens, some fancy pens a friend loaned her, some engraved pens, some with the chains still hanging off them. As for stealing from Madame Paulette I'd say she's pretty much banned after claiming John does coke and made a pass at her. Which is dumb because she was probably getting a killer discount too.

Unrelated to anything recent but speaking of Ramona it looks like Bethenny is going to try something with this. Looks like she's got a mole too. Check the date and bear in mind Sonja launched it that month at the filmed birthday party.

Dorinda wasn't that bothered with Bethenny about the reunion, she maintained she doesn't do coke and B was going for John there. She just didn't trust her. I don't think she was quick to jump in and day kids are off limits then because maybe she felt why defend her? Ramona has flimsy storylines - her renovated apartment, her renovated face and talking about her dates. Every season she has a target or two and this year it's Bethenny. IMHO because it's similar to past behavior I don't think provocation is needed.

And you know she always takes pens. Sometimes without asking.
