Even though Bethenny Frankel basically told Sonja Morgan her life is a disastrous mess and she’s living in a delusional fantasy world, Bethenny insists the two are in a “good spot” and still friends. 

“I think I was being supportive,” the Real Housewives Of New York star says,of her sit-down with Sonja in Atlantic City – which is the first of many! “It’s compassion,” Bethenny elaborated. “There’s a whole trajectory with Sonja and I this season,” said Bethenny.

As for the dramatic, heartbreaking episode, Bethenny feels it was a great example of RHONY at its finest.”I thought the show, overall, was really funny. People thought it was one of the best episodes,” she quipped. I kinda agree.

“It’s not darkness; it’s not dirtiness and I like that. The show is doing really well,” Bethenny told E! News. “The ratings are up. People are loving it, they say it’s the best season yet and I’m glad the B is back.”

Andy Cohen agrees that this season is fabulous. And he is loving new Housewife Dorinda Medley as well. “I think it’s incredible. The ratings are up double digits, it’s back, it’s so funny, it’s so dramatic. I love this new Housewife,” Andy exclaimed at the Upfronts, gesturing to Dorinda.

 Andy is also singing Bethenny’s praises, gushing that Bethenny “proved is she was born to be a Housewife.” He continued, “She’s absolutely so fun to watch and she is a complete bitch one second and completely vulnerable the next, but she’s always real and she’s always herself. She doesn’t apologize for who she is and she’s great.”

Even though Andy and Bethenny are thrilled, Sonja sees things a bit differently – doesn’t she always. “You know, honestly, I’ve been doing this show for a long time. Every episode is hard for me to watch…It was hard. I know Bethenny hasn’t been around the last four years, I haven’t seen her very much, she’s been busy raising her daughter, newly married—and if you come back and listen to what these girls are saying and then you see me go off the rails one night, she would think, ‘Wow you need help.'” 

“So if I’m nuts I’m having a great time. If I’m delusional, I’m loving it,” Sonja declared. “I’m off to Monaco in May, July—Saint Tropez, Greece in August. I can’t talk about it with my friends because Bethenny [says] don’t talk about all the places you go. ‘Nobody wants to know.’ OK.”

Well on tonight’s episode Ramona continues to celebrate her birthday back in NYC, while Luann and Carole face-off at a boxing match over Carole dating Luann’s niece’s ex! Then Luann and Bethenny head to Miami where Bethenny reconnects with her estranged stepfather to boohoo unconvincingly about her terrible childhood, while Luann supports her daughter Victoria at Art Basel.
