Bethenny Frankel Feels “Sonja Isn’t Owning Her Stuff”

It feels like we are trapped in the Turks & Caicos with the women of “The Real Housewives of New York.” The upside is I’ve learned so much while watching the past few episodes. Like, not to go on vacation with eight crazy women. Not to corner someone who may or may not have a drinking problem. Not to talk about pending divorces. And not to walk ahead of someone when entering a restaurant. Bethenny Frankel takes to her Bravo blog this week to share some of what she’s learned during this episode.

“Well this episode was fun. This is pure comedy to me. Ramona aka “the apologizer” is some piece of work. I really do feel her pain in her divorce. How can I comment on a life with someone spanning a quarter of a century? I cannot really judge. They say it is bad luck to wear someone else’s shoes. It is most definitely bad form to really understand unless you have walked in them, which I haven’t.” She added, “Sometimes Ramona forgets that she isn’t the only one dealing with something.”

It’s definitely Ramona’s world and we are merely spectators. As for Sonja, Bethenny feels she’s is in denial and it’s above her pay grade to deal with it.

“Sonja is all riled up, understandably so. She seems to feel like a caged and cornered animal. Sonja isn’t owning her stuff here, she seems to be in denial, but it really isn’t our problem anymore. Heather said it best: We don’t need to solve, and we don’t need to enable. This is above my pay grade, and I can’t seem to extricate myself from it. I definitely have compassion for Sonja.”

However, when you yell STFU in someone’s face who is clearly struggling, it does come off as less than compassionate, but what do I know. In the meantime, Bethenny shares more of her love/hate feelings for Ramona.

“Ramona does love to drive the getaway car. She is totally part of the crime, but her hands are dirty. Let’s face it: She was a sh– starter this vacation, and she damn well knows it. I always say: just add Ramona.” Bethenny continued, “Ramona redeemed herself with her ice bucket reaction. She not only possesses the gift for wearing macramé but also for cozying up to you until you’re not pissed at her anymore.”

As for the kerfuffle with Dorinda and Heather “the tough bitch,” Bethenny is as confused as the rest of us. She wrote,

“Dorinda had an interesting perspective here. I’m not sure what she is thinking or doing when she says we’re all a bunch of judgmental drinkers. She chose to separate herself from this conversation and be Sonja’s support system. Let’s see how this plays out.” Bethenny added, “The Dorinda and Heather stuff came from left field. I was standing right there. We were walking in, Dorinda assumed we were ignoring her, and she just went off on Heather, which frankly scared Heather, who is a tough bitch.”

Tune in next week as the scary fun continues in the T&C.
