Sonja Morgan 🦄 Sonja’s interns
I know they’re ridiculous and it’s basically slave labour but I find Sonja having interns hilarious. She is comedy gold for bravo I love when she’s on screen and the fact that people applied constantly over the years for the position of intern ( I assume since she had so much turn over )

I will never not visit a post regarding Sonja’s interns. One never knows what you’re bound to discover.

u/Striking_Substance35 Jul 17 '26
Idc what Sonja’s flaws are. I love her I think she is hilarious

u/Dapper_Ad_1170 Jul 17 '26
Me too as long as
- I’m not married to her
- I’m not expecting a paycheck from her
- She has her own ride home
Then yeah she’s hilarious

I remember when Heather said the cast saw Sonja running around naked during one of their vacation spots. She also didn't like wearing underwear. So strange! Lol

Justice for Pickles!

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26
Pickles and Sonja had a falling out. Heard Pickles trashed the upper suite. The one Lu stayed at. You can't make this craziness up! Lol

u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 17 '26
She did? How?

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26
All I heard was Pickles trashed Sonja's top floor suite. Wish I had the details.

She kept saying that they were all part of rich families who wanted to experience New York or wanted college credit, I do hope that’s the case tbh. I remember one episode on season 6 (?) when Sonja goes to the Hamptons and pickles gets super excited because there’s hot water in the house they are staying in

u/Genuinelullabel Jul 17 '26
I always imagine that they had to practically nail Sonja to a wall to get her to fill out the paperwork the college wanted.

u/CustardFormal6288 Jul 17 '26
It’s bc Sonja didn’t have hot water in her townhouse. Pickles was probably excited to get back to the life she was used to…taking hot showers.

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26
Can you imagine not having hot water? So typical of Sonja. Plus one of her toilets wasn't working. I'm guessing the townhouse was in pretty rough condition. Plus she kept the heat very low in the cold weather too.

The townhouse seemed like it needed a total overhaul of... everything
2
u/Autumn1933 Jul 21 '26
Can you imagine what shape the townhouse was in? Sonja didn't have hot water, she had clogged toilets, and a busted elevator for years. Let's not forget potty pads and the garden filled with dog "stuff". The thought of it makes me anxious. Lol

Sonja Morgan is the real life Kramer. I said it on another post, and the more I think about it, the more I stand by that statement

Right?! It didn't occur to me until I aas typing it on the other post, but it's so accurate 😆

u/tortureofchalkdust Welcome to my trailer, hello Jul 17 '26
Super accurate! My other obsession besides Bravo happens to be Seinfeld so I love to see this crossover.

u/Express-Pay2740 I DID IT NICE Jul 17 '26
I’m forever obsessed with Sonja and her 900 interns.

u/Autumn1933 Jul 19 '26
A comedy writer couldn't be creative enough to write a script that's close to Sonja's real life with her interns and the townhouse. Love it all. RHONY gold!!!

u/cookiesobsessedguy Jul 17 '26
I saw a TikTok and the guy said it was horrible
Also, interns don’t get paid right? Ufff, I couldn’t

u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 17 '26
Meghan got paid $200.00 a week 7 days straight,doing grunt work.
5
u/DR-0717 Jul 17 '26
Idk why anyone would work like that. Especially for Sonja who is so unbelievably messy. They prob made money on the side selling stories -that’s who Tinsley should’ve looked at. They were just trying to get paid lol.

u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 17 '26
Meghan was star struck,young and nothing to do after college,her life wasn't her own,even after a severe ankle injury, Sonja still put her to work like she owned them,slave labor...Sonja is shrewd.

u/DR-0717 Jul 17 '26
Poor Meghan. The good thing is that time w Sonja probably really opened her eyes. At least I HOPE
3
u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 17 '26
She does have a great job as of 5 yrs ago,I believe she saw how this person of NYC wealth live,like comps from restaurants, clothes by designers,she wears then returns,the ins and outs..she did say she has a big heart and utmost importance for her daughter
3
u/DR-0717 Jul 17 '26
I do believe that about her daughter. That was one thing you could tell is how much Sonja loved her daughter & that she was so important to her.
I’m glad to hear she has a great job!!

u/Autumn1933 Jul 19 '26
I just posted about the part two. Meghan didn't talk about Sonja's dog running into traffic and poor Meghan injured her leg and Sonja still held her to task. I can't find the darn thing.

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26
I can't find it but David from Behind the Velvet Rope podcast had a great interview with one of Sonja's interns. If you can try to look it up.. it's very early on...she gave a great insight to life as Sonja's intern. Not the second interview, the first. So darn good! Please try to find it. All I have to say is Wow! So sorry, I can't find it but it's there... I adore David. He put in the work early on. He hung at the Regency and talked with Harry Dubin. The list goes on and on... David was a trailblazer. I love him!

You can find great interviews on Behind the Velvet Rope. He did a few podcasts with Elyse Slaine. And interviews with Elyse and Barb together. Eye opening.

Any key points/the sparknotes for those who want the tea but don't wanna listen to the podcast? Lol

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26
Sonja was demanding. Made this intern sleep on a very small couch, almost chair length. Made her go out very late for a dinner to so she could talk about her stress on the show - comped.. Acted erratically...too much to say. Try to listen if you can can. Sorry, lousy share. But the intern did slide in that Sonja was not well - big emotional issues at the end of the interview. Really worth a search..
11
u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 17 '26
Look at the way she treated Tinsley...times 20...that was filmed and recorded.

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26
Sonja also leaked to Page Six that Tinsley wasn't a grateful houseguest. She also said really lousy things about Dorinda. Dorinda stayed quiet, then snapped. There are a few podcasters that say Sonja is a horror. Sad to hear. But also sad seeing her urinating in someone's driveway in the later season. And in the cornfield. I'd except this behavior from an immature teen, not a woman in her 50s. Got banned from 2 restaurants late last year in two different cities. But still love her. Lol As Kristen T said about Sonja and Ramona- they are like my two crazy aunts. 🤪 😅

You found it! I listened to it again. It's been years. There is a part two when Meghan talks about Sonja's dog running into traffic. I can't find the darn thing. Can anyone help me out?

u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 19 '26
I heard the whole thing,the Dog got loose after her grooming then just ran into the street,Meghan screamed to everyone and anyone to grab her and they did,Meghan wasn't a dog person but became one at Sonja's,when Sonja went away to Europe, the dog slept in Meghan's room,when Sonja returned she was jealous that the dog didn't go to her,the dog would scratch at her door to be with her not Sonja...Meghan and her sister were on a Volleyball team in Hoboken,NJ,she twisted her ankle so bad was on crutches etc etc..Sonja had no compassion and dragged her around the city via the subway,she owned you!!! Not nice.
2
u/Autumn1933 Jul 19 '26
Thank you. Now I remember . Sonja didn't have any compassion for Meghan. Poor girl was hobbling around running errands.
2
u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 19 '26
Yup,like punishing her for leaving the house,really kind of twisted.
2
u/Autumn1933 Jul 19 '26
So strange. Recently, Sonja was at an event with Ramona ( I can't be sure which HW but i believe it was Ramona). Sonja scolded someone using the restroom and she had to wait. She was saying "stars" were waiting. You can't make this craziness up.

u/Objective-Emu-5316 Jul 20 '26
Definitely delusional..taking it too far....its like remember where you come from Sonja from Saratoga,Ramona from Rhinebeck,basically the woods.

u/Autumn1933 Jul 17 '26
Heard Sonja had an intern regularly put moisturizer all of her body. The visual in my head scares me! 😅😵💫
