Bravo pays for the cast trips. I love RHONY, it’s ludicrous entertainment. These women aren’t friends outside of the show, the show is their job, at best they were acquaintances on the tiny Manhattan social scene prior to getting the RHONY gig. They wouldn’t choose to go on holiday with each other, never mind pay for everyone. Bravo pays, it is well known.
The thin ‘Asian Jew’ (as she always said) was only on it for a season or two. Her useless H was having an affair, she was in the process of getting a divorce when she left the show.
I haven’t seen the latest series, I don’t have HAYU or whatever. I watch on SKY/Bravo when they are on. The most recent season I saw, Carole & Bethany were still mate and Luann was in that Egyptian river re Tom (that was bizarre).
I like Sonia but she is a car crash of a woman. Not long bankrupt but jetting all over the world on a permanent holiday (I follow on Instagram).
The wheels started coming off Luann’s public face when she was arrested for a whole load of stuff (including intoxication) at the end of last year. I agree that the timing of her rehab is suspect though, more a publicity (or the avoidance of) than an actual attempt to rehabilitate.
