Sonja Morgan’s friends are worried about her.
During Tuesday’s episode ofThe Real Housewives of New York City,Luann de Lesseps,Ramona SingerandLeah McSweeneydecided to confront Sonja about her recent drinking habits.
“We’re being irresponsible if we don’t talk to her about this,” said Leah.
The concern over Sonja’s alcohol intake started after several nights out, where the reality star appeared to get significantly drunker than the rest of the group.
But things really came to a head during their trip to Salem, Massachusetts, where Sonja and Bershan Shaw found themselves in a drunken, physical altercation after anargument escalated.
Though the two women later made up, Sonja had to be physically removed from the fight and broke a glass fire extinguisher case in the hotel.
“We really need to talk to Sonja about her drinking,” said Leah, which Ramona and Luann agreed with. “We need to break through the denial.”
In a confessional, Leah said her concern came from how reckless Sonja can become when drinking.
“I would want people to step in and talk to me if I was punching glass. It’s not like she’s getting drunk and having fun,” she said. “Of course, Bershan didn’t help, but this isn’t just an isolated incident.”
Later on during the trip, the three women pulled Sonja, 57, aside for a heart-to-heart.
“I think that it would be absolutely irresponsible and f—– up of us to not say we think the drinking is going to hurt you,” Leah started. “We are worried and we want to help.”
While Sonja admitted that she likes to “party” when she’s with the group, she assured her friends that she does not drink when she’s alone.
“I don’t drink alone, I don’t drink at home, I don’t drink on dates,” she said. “I don’t go out and socialize like that, I just don’t.”
But Ramona, 64, wasn’t buying it. She pressed Sonja on her recent behavior, using the fight with Bershan as an example of how things can quickly spiral out of control.
