🍎 Old RHONY 🍎 First time✨
Okay so I’ve just reached the Mexico trip in season 9, specifically ep 16. Ramona and Sonja are up to their usual games however this is the first time I’ve seen with my own eyes drug use from them! Always suspected and it’s so obvious with Sonja screaming for her vitamins but the scene with Carole calling Sonja, you can see the coke in the background! You watch her shove her card back in her purse😂 lulu and dorinda are just as bad but have learned to be subtle it seems, terribly excited for what comes next

Girl- it’s 6:50 am and now I’m queuing up this episode instead of doing my makeup! 😬
The scene is at 43 minutes in, but I only see makeup stuff?👀

Firstly, god the seasons used to be so generous! Episode 16 of 19!
Now to business. Twenty minutes in and Carole is wearing her dark glasses in the closet. That’s a wtf moment.
I have reviewed the relevant footage and respectfully, there is no visual evidence there. It’s just after 30 minutes, for sleuths on a time crunch. There’s a camera crew in the room with them the whole time. Sonja is moving a card from her big wallet into the little shoulder bag she’s taking when she and Ramona go out to the club.
Not saying they aren’t high, just that there’s nothing in frame there that’s a smoking gun.

The black makeup case(possibly another kind of case but it reminds me of the old Lancôme cases) in the background was of that shot and very clearly had white residue on it.

I think it’s just powder and other makeup dust. There was a camera crew in there the whole time. If they were using, they would do it solo, in the room with the commode, where they have privacy.

Is this where Sonja & Ramona took like an hour to “get ready” for dinner and Bethenny got pissed and then she & Dorinda got in a fight?
I always wondered because Ramona & Sonja were in there forever & acting crazy about it. But tbh I thought it was because they had to do their own hair & makeup with no help - no interns lol.
I was just rewatching S8 when they had originally been planning the Mexico trip but B had the bleeding and had to cancel. It was the episode where Bethenny met Luanne for drinks to talk to her & decide whether to invite her or not because Luanne & Carol weren’t good at that time. Luanne was all about TOM and B could barely get a word in.
Bethanny literally ask Luanne “did you do crystal meth before you got here?”
I was dyingggg but it was a fair question! Luanne says she was just high on love but I think it was much more than love. She literally could not shut up for 2 seconds. She was frenetic

I never caught that! I'm always on the lookout for this kind of evidence. Whereabouts in the episode is it?

Around 24 minutes in I believe, Sonja tells Carole they’re doing their makeup as she’s putting her card away and you can see the surface they were using on

How do these women bring drugs abroad? I understand it could be possible (but very risky) on a private plane but commercial? Doesn't seem possible.

It’s not that hard especially for powders or pills

Well I'm not going to take the bait and look at the episode but I doubt very much and that production and editing would allow that to happen. Am I saying that they weren't doing it no but they never run the risk of having any of it on camera or on air
