At long last, it's an in -person reunion with the real housewives of New York

City. Hi, good morning. How are you? How do

you

feel about being here?

I'm in a happy mood.

Maybe have some resolution, but maybe not.

Right. I have done nothing to you for you to hate me the way that you do. I'm

engaged. We're getting married. Susie, I'd hate your life.

Have you had any close contact in the last 14 days from the diagnosis?

I don't know if I'm honest. She was running around at Mar -a -Lago.

Okay.

She doesn't give a shit. I was allowed to come back. What did you just say?

Well, just so you know, I screamed at Luann for being late. Sit down. Okay,

I take this off now or not yet? We only need the mask when we get up from here.

Hi, baby.

Hi, Tins.

You look gorgeous. Thank you.

Oh, my God, it looks so beautiful. Welcome to your first reunion.

Thank you.

I just saw your butt. It looks good.

Lady Morgan.

Wow, you shaved your beard off, Daddy. Hey, Luann. Hey. Oh, my God. Look at

Let's get all the niceties out right now. Your virginity is going to break

today, Leah. I know. You turned on me that moment when you found out John had

that money. I didn't even know about that.

You are disgusting.

Go to church.

You know what I said to the $100? This. Does she have no remorse?

Camera's down.

If you're bipolar and on medication, you don't drink. You know it's going to end

up on the show.

That's why you did it.

That's a good start to the day.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Real Housewives of New York City Season 12

reunion. I'm Andy Cohen coming at you from what I can best describe as a Real

Housewives of New York fever dream as we're in a warehouse surrounded by

of New York reunions past.

And here's something even more monumental. For the first time since

We are having an in -person reunion.

That's right, I'm here in the same room, although at a safe and social distance,

as the radiant New York housewives themselves.

Welcome, ladies.

Hi, Andy.

Hi, Leah.

Hi. Ready for your first reunion?

I'm so ready.

Be honest, did you wear that dress to piss Ramona off? No, no.

I don't care what she wears. This one is 50 people. Okay. Is your vagina

showing? But stand up, because I do want people to see this dress. Thank you.

This is stunning.

Woo! Yeah, it's something. Thank you. Okay, turn around. Turn around.

There you go.

Beautiful.

All right.

Hi, Dorinda. How are you doing, Andy? I'm good. How are you feeling about

Very good. I can't wait. I'm very excited.

Hi, Ramona.

Hey there. How are you? Good. I have to tell you, you look best ever.

Really? Yeah, you really do. Thank you. How are you feeling about tonight?

It's just another day.

Okay. All right. Hi, Lou.

Hey, Andy. How are you? I'm great. How are you feeling?

I'm feeling Lou and improved.

Good. Well, speaking of new and improved, Lady Morgan, I love your hair.

there's something else a little different about you, right?

Yeah, I lifted the drapes again, this time permanently.

Okay, you got a face lift. I had the neck lift and the lower lift, and I

to look like Ellen Barkin. I'm very inspired by her, her strength and her

and her intelligence, and she's so talented.

You look great.

Last but not least, the princess of Chicago. Hey, Ken.

Hi. Great to see you. Nice to see you. How does it feel being here tonight?

It does feel a little strange because I feel obviously a little disconnected

since I did leave and move to Chicago. But it feels like it's a nice closing

my chapter here in New York and for the next.

Part of my life. Well, I'm thrilled that you're here. We have a lot to talk

about. And before we unpack season 12, I want to talk about how quarantine has

affected all of you. Were most of you outside of the city for the entirety of

quarantine? You were not. For the first five weeks, I was in Long Island. And

ever since then, I've been back to the city.

Ramona, your quarantine locale probably garnered the most attention of the

group. You were in Florida.

Hunkered down with?

Mario, my ex -husband. It was Avery's suggestion.

And I have to tell you something. It was a great experience for my daughter, for

me. We became a family again. Was there any moment where you thought, well,

maybe we'll give this another shot? You were living as a family. I love him as a

person, but I'm just not.

in love. He doesn't stimulate me. And I just really like what I'm doing with my

life. Sonia, you were actually trapped at a spa in Palm Springs. Sounds good. I

did have to reel it in after going off the rails last season. And I did

and green juice for three weeks straight.

I wasn't even sure I had anything left down there. And then I just, yeah, I

blew the poop soup out.

And back to New York. Luann.

How have you been keeping busy with no cabaret?

Well, I've been working on Viva La Diva. I'm still working on the shows, even

they're postponed.

I'm working on a book. I've been very busy. Well, we have some burning

about how you all have been coping since the pandemic began.

Annie from Charleston has a question for Leah. You said the following on

Instagram. I am so disgusted by some of my castmates and their families who

spent the entire fucking quarantine in Florida living it up. They come back to

New York and are out like nothing, not taking this seriously and basically

laughing in all of our faces. You guys, that is despicable and very déclassé.

She wants to know who were you referring to?

Well, obviously it was me, because I was the only one in Florida. Wait, I think

this is not cool for me, so let me explain. And I took all precautions, so

totally wrong. You're lying right now. What was so upsetting was the total lack

of awareness in New York City.

People are dying, and they can't even say bye to their families. And on

Instagram, you're posting, here I am with my workout, and I just upgraded to

new modern suite. Here I am.

don't even care if you don't wear a mask i don't even care about that it was

more about the total lack of empathy of how many people are suffering in this

country and the world i

would wake up

every morning at four o 'clock and read all the horrific news how a hundred

thousand cases a hundred thousand deaths it's climbing it's climbing it was

scarier than And then I would live my day the best I could with what I had.

Avery and I would do workout classes. We'd be donating to charities.

People said we were inspirational.

Because you know what? What am I going to do? Haul up and cry all day? It's not

about crying all day. It's just about acknowledging the situation. I

the situation.

And you also lied about donating your blood, which is disgusting. You know

Just stop. Just stop.

Did you donate your blood? Yes, I did. You actually tested positive.

To get all the facts straight, in February, I had a sinus infection.

I thought I was feeling weak because of Lyme disease.

They weren't testing in New York for the COVID.

I went to Aspen in March, and I got better there. And then I went to

and I was under quarantine for eight weeks.

Then in May, when Boca Beach Club opened up, which I'm a member of, and you're

allowed to go to the beach and play tennis, they had a lab there. They

me, and I had antibodies, and I had it. And my Dr. Chase figured out that when I

had the Lyme disease and I had the sinus infection, I also had COVID. And he

said, you're a strong damn girl, man. I can't believe it. I think you're a

walking petri. No, and I was fine. I was good. No, you don't have to follow the

rules, but everybody else has to follow the rules. And I was allowed to come

back, bitch. I was allowed. And for you to point fingers and say things. Yeah,

because you were mean. And I think to say, I don't want to see you like that

with that mask on. My castmates with their fingers low brown.

Dorinda, you were upset that Ramona went to a party that Donald Trump Jr.

hosted and his girlfriend tested positive for COVID right after that

Ramona's not going to tell the truth. And I know because I have friends.

It was outdoors, six feet away, and I stayed there for an hour, and then I

But you're not supposed to be in places where you gather.

There's rules and regulations that we're meant to follow. Not just respect for

ourselves, but respect for others. I don't have the virus. It doesn't matter.

Obviously, I'm doing things correctly. It doesn't matter. You know, I don't

the virus.

Yeah, you had it already. It doesn't matter.

And God knows how many people you gave it to.

I accept it today. There you go.

That's the point right there. I want to see your teeth. That's the ignorance. I

don't have the virus. I can't stand anything. I don't have the virus. It's

ignorance. I don't have the virus. You're un -virusable. I thought you did

the virus. I had it in February.

But, Ramona, just so you know, you can get it again. I mean, I'm scared of

getting it again. And you could spread it with your spit, especially if you

and spit with duvets. If I had the virus, while she was in Boca Raton.

She was all doing her dancing and things during the day. At night, she was at a

speakeasy with no mask on. At the breakers with Harry Dubin. She didn't

wear a mask outside. No mask on. And also showing herself dancing. And people

are dying. Ramona, Ramona, Ramona.

People are dying. OK, ladies. There's 30 million people out of work. I don't

wear a mask on the ocean. I don't wear a mask on the ocean. OK, all right. OK.

Guys. Don't send this message.

We are responsible for a message to the world.

It's not about wearing a mask, you idiot.

It's about showing yourself.

I don't wear masks in the ocean.

Well, tell them to shut up. I'm telling all of you to shut up.

Aren't you glad you came, Tinsley?

Okay, can I just make one more comment to put this to bed? This is between you

and I.

Over. Next. I'm saying one comment.

Do you understand how maybe what you're putting out there on social media is not

compliant? I was in Florida. It opened up 45 days before New York State. I'm

with my girlfriend at a restaurant, Yaz Hernandez, and we took a picture next to

each other. We're at a restaurant. We're allowed to do that. People are doing

that. Thank you very much. That's true. Well, it's been a crazy year so far.

We have so much to get into from the actual season. So let's do it. We'll be

right back.

Coming up.

I'm getting it on my pussy.

What happens when a man sees it? Men love it. Oh, don't you?

Welcome back to the Real Housewives of New York City reunion.

With an unapologetic sense of self and a strong aversion to tiki torches, this

Real Housewives rookie proved she was a force to be reckoned with.

Let's take a look at New York's new girl, Leah.

Leah's the kind of girl that is just going to say what she feels. There is

filter. I just like sat at home and like masturbated for the first time in like

two months.

What?

Oh my God, do you have a tattoo?

I have a lot of tattoos.

I think that says something negative about her that she would get tattoos.

Why are there wings on your vagina?

Because they fly.

No, but no, they don't fly.

Can I get a Merlot?

Of course.

Oh, I thought you don't drink. I'm not sober.

I didn't drink for nine years, and I started again maybe six months ago.

Lose Mortimer, lose Morgan.

JP Morgan, can you stay out of this? Sorry.

When did this party become Occupy Hampton? My dad called me and was like,

mother doesn't want to talk to you right now.

I told her that I did end up drinking.

It's a destructive path for you.

Rob and my mom, they're like my two rocks in my life. So to have both of

questioning me, it's really upsetting.

I just feel like I can't let go of them.

I'm a teenager.

Like, I just don't feel like that's who I am.

But you're not. You got sober. You had a baby. Have a business.

I mean, you did fine.

Leah has always marched to her own drum.

The best part. We are very, very, very proud of you. We love you.

Finally.

The best. I am relishing this moment knowing that your parents are proud

of you.

All right. We received so much feedback about the way you came into the season

and hit the ground running. Housewives super fan and actress Sarah Paulson,

I asked her to rate your freshman season on a scale of 1 to 10.

She gave you a 25.

That's awesome.

John Oliver said, I think she's good throwing tiki torches, naked diving into

pool and basically trashing Ramona's house. I'm not sure I've laughed at

anything this year harder than I laughed at that episode.

How does it feel getting that feedback from some pretty cool people?

It's very nice to hear. I've had such a nice welcome this first season and I

can't even imagine like being in the pandemic because obviously it's...

the show aired during the lockdown so this is my experience doing the show is

having being inside yeah so i can't even imagine like having all these new

social media followers all this new attention if it was all negative it

have been like debilitating right Ladies, did you sense something

Leah when she came on the scene?

I personally thought, here's a tough New Yorker, younger than we are, but a mom

nonetheless, a businesswoman, and very vulnerable, I thought. And that was my

first take on her. I was like, I really instinctually liked Leah a lot from the

get -go. What I loved about Leah when I met her is that you can have a

conversation with her and she listens to you. Yeah.

You can have an opinion and she doesn't judge you.

I like the whole different sort of angle she brought to the show. We don't

usually go downtown.

Right. And she's very confident. So she was able to handle the women and not be

intimidated by it and join in and really fit in super well. I don't know about

you guys, but for me, tiki torches will never look the same. And they're

hiding still in my garage. I'm not using them yet. All right. Sorry, Ramona.

What's changed the most for you since being on the show?

I mean, I stopped drinking very soon after the show.

But what's changed?

I don't know, not that much has changed.

Tinsley, as the last new girl, how do you think Leah did?

You know, look, I joined when I was like at such a low point in my life. I was

much weaker and I wasn't as confident. And I love the way that, you know, you

came on and you had nothing to hold back and you were super, you know, confident

with yourself and all of it.

clearly shows because we did connect right away and we were able to talk and

like you said I mean she listens I mean I feel like I have a hard time with a

lot of you guys listening to me all the time so it's um it's nice to be able to

chat and have like a conversation and talk and be open and have someone listen

that's nice Christelle from Los Angeles said Leah what's up with your constant

age shaming of the women and frequent comments about being the only one with

your period

Instead of making fun, shouldn't you be seeking some wisdom from their

experience? Listen, I respect these women, and I don't think I age shame at

I don't think you do. I don't do that. I actually think Leah does look to us for

advice. I absolutely do. She calls me all the time about Kiki. Hannah was

Kiki's age, and I was about her age right before I married Richard. So when

saw her in her apartment with the two -bedroom, that's where I was when I was

her age. And by the way, I upgraded my apartment, guys.

Oh, really?

You got a new apartment? Gwen, you got to come over.

I don't think that table's big enough. This is my little setup. No, I'll make

work. For all the food that I brought. So what do you think of Leah's

Do you really want to know?

Were you upset with Lou's assessment of your apartment?

No, I don't take it personal.

Brandy from Lancaster, Ohio would love to ask Ramona, Sonia, and Dorinda if

they're embarrassed by how they shamed and judged Leah for having tattoos. I

imagine that made Leah pretty uncomfortable and wasn't very welcoming.

Well, I don't think it made Leah uncomfortable at all.

All I said was, I'm not used to someone...

having tattoos. I didn't say it's disgusting to have tattoos or why do you

them? I just said I'm not used to seeing tattoos.

You know what? No, I will say that the one comment that I left feeling icky was

Sonia saying, I'll never have sex with you because you have tattoos. We'll

have sex. You can relieve yourself.

That's a deal breaker for me.

And you don't have sex with men with tattoos? Never. For some reason, that, I

think, because it had to do with sex or something, made me extra offended.

I was like, oh.

That was the joke, because I had a little sexual tension with her. So the

was. Okay. The joke was, oh, that's a deal breaker, a tattoo.

Okay. Betsy from Charlotte, North Carolina said, Leah, please elaborate on

vagina wings.

What's the meaning? What age did you get them? Does it really fly?

Okay. This is actually a very crazy story, and I'm not pretty good at it.

We're ready.

Coming up.

I'm not like Ramona. I'm not out every night. Ramona is out every single night

drinking. I drink water. Hello. Why do you think I'm thin? Not that thin.

Leah, please elaborate on the vagina wings.

This is actually a very crazy story, and I'm not pretty good at it.

We're ready.

When I was maybe 17 years old, I had taken hallucinogenic, and I went to

another... dimension of the universe.

And I had purple wings.

And when I came to, I said, I need to get this tattooed on me.

And I'm like, where should I get it? The back? That's so obvious. I'm getting it

on my pussy.

There's that word again.

Like, what happens when a man sees it? Like, when you're like, let's go. Oh,

love it.

Oh, they do?

So, Leah, have your parents watched the show? And what about Rob and Kier? Yeah,

of course. Well, my father loves it.

Loves Sonia. I love your father.

I think he has the biggest freaking crush on Sonia ever.

Who doesn't?

He's amazing.

He's an artist.

Yeah, it's an artist vibe.

Is my mother thrilled at me, like, butt naked and talking about peeing on

princes? Absolutely not. She's my mother. You know, my father doesn't care

it. And my daughter has not seen a lot of episodes. And what about Rob?

Rob's supportive. You know, sometimes he gets a little jealous. So the bartender

and the brochure, she's like, yeah, what's up with that guy, huh?

Like, he turns into a guido. I'm like, chill, dude.

Your mom is a shrink?

She is. Wow. Don't judge her by me. She's great.

Nancy from Pittsburgh said, Leah, when exactly did you start drinking again?

Before the show? In the Hamptons? No, no, no. The spring before the show.

It was the spring before the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the spring. Did you

worry coming into the show that, okay, now I'm drinking.

And I'm going to be filmed. Right. Like, this could go very wrong.

But you guys met me while I was drinking, which is crazy because for the

decade before that, my whole life, I didn't have one sip of alcohol.

We drove you to drink. Like the opposite of Luann. We knew her for a decade

drinking and then a year not drinking. The timing is so strange that I started

drinking before I was ever even knew I was going to meet you guys. But listen,

I'm so happy that I got to spend my nine months of drinking. We're with the

funnest bitches ever. So I have no regrets at all.

Well, on that note, the Real Housewives of New York City have a long and layered

history with drinking. And, well, this season certainly was no exception.

Take a look.

You drink, you drink.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wine, ladies?

Okay. I mean, come on. It's never too early for wine. I need some.

Gross, motor, and paranormal.

I was so... Oh, you should.

Sonia is a mess, but you've been a mess too. No, I have not.

What is really going on?

Stop! They got to have it. You had nothing. When you were in rehab, I got

you. You're the one with the drinking problem. You and Sonia. You should both

to AL. Only drink clear alcohol.

Yeah. The wine is poison.

Sometimes I just have to pick my poison, don't I?

You started Halloween early tonight, didn't you?

What the hell was she drinking?

Coca -Cola with a little rosé. First of all, that's disgusting.

I've reached my limit.

She hasn't even had that much to drink. She must be on some medication that

makes her access way. You were right, Ramona. You were right.

This drug gives you drunken sailor -ness, Walker. Last night, I really felt

drinking.

And it's like the first time I felt like that in a while. Oh, God.

No, honey, it's all vodka.

Oh, it tastes so good.

I don't think that Luann was ever an alcoholic, and we're all looking forward

having the old Luann back.

You're worthless, and you're not coming into my show. I never want to see you

into my show. You're not coming into my show.

Do you think I need Sonya Morgan, who's going to take off her clothes on the

stage? I don't need her.

Where did good time Luann go?

Oh, God, I thought this was cranberry juice. What is this?

It's just vodka in there.

If Leah wants a drink, like, she's around safe, good company. She's not

go off the deep end.

Oh, my God. I hate you. I hate you so much. It's like, fuck!

What?

Can you put two more shots of vodka in Leah's drink? No, I can't, Mother. No,

no, no.

Ramona, stop. Don't even start with me. Two more shots?

I think you're just on a slippery slope with the alcohol.

Listen to your mother.

I know that if I feel like the drinking is going to affect my life in a very

negative way, I can stop.

All right.

Joe from Ohio said, ladies, the season has been really tough to watch with the

drinking. Does anyone wish they did more to address some of the sloppier

behavior? I think I addressed all my behavior.

I certainly real did it.

Here's my question. You've altered your behavior. You've altered your behavior.

You've altered your behavior.

Dorinda, have you seen anything that has made you want to alter your behavior

drinking -wise?

Of course. When the season ends, I think we all stop.

I mean, I'm not like Ramona. I'm not out every night.

Ramona is out every single night drinking. I drink water. Why do you

thin? I drink water.

You're not that thin, but okay.

Oh, liar, liar, pants on fire.

Out all the time.

Okay.

Elle writes online, Leah, what did you mean the morning after the clam bake

you told Elise that's how you wish you acted more often? Do you like to lose

control? Part of me does like it, but also I was really annoyed that Elise was

talking to me and being so condescending, so I just kind of wanted

surprised the next morning in Newport that you didn't have more shame about

night before.

This is what really bothers me, is that, so, they just showed...

a video of everybody, except Tinsley, pretty much, being out of control,

And in Rhode Island, I'm very new to the group.

I'm dealing with a lot of shit. I didn't feel good. And I had a bad freaking

night. I was made to feel terrible about myself.

Well, who did that?

Ramona. I'm thinking, but do you see what I mean? It's like a different

standard.

She does everything to deflect.

You know, she's a whore. I'm angry. I'm a drug. What are you talking about?

Yeah, you did. Did you call me a whore? No, well, a tramp.

Now you've gone too far, Dorinda, with your lies. You're a liar, and I hate

that. I've never said anything like that about you, Leah. You are disgusting.

Oh, my God, Dorinda. Oh, my God. Go to church.

Okay, go on.

Coming up.

I want to talk about you. I feel like you're deflecting every time I ask this

question. I can't talk with her.

anything no one else hadn't done before. It was just breakfast. And after the

whole tiki torchi thing, then I'm seeing this and I'm like, oh my goodness. So

yeah. So what made you decide to stop drinking this time around?

There's a pandemic. We're in quarantine.

I need to be at the top of my game right now for my daughter. There is no

celebrating. There is no way to use alcohol in a happy, fun way right now

me. Literally 10 years, alcohol wasn't even a...

blip on the radar. Right.

Jackson from Baton Rouge said, Luann, come clean. Was that sip of vodka at the

comedy show really the first alcohol you had since violating your probation?

Yeah. I felt like I was, you know, in control and I felt good and I felt like

hit the reset button and I was like, you know, I'll try it. Let's see what

happens. How would you describe your relationship with alcohol right now?

I reeled it in and stopped drinking again.

And I just, you know, I don't want to label myself though, because I don't

to put that kind of pressure on myself. I just move forward because it's been

such a thing for me. But I have to watch myself and I'm very aware of it. And

yeah. Brianna from Nashville said, ladies, did Lou's outburst in the

give anyone pause as to whether Lou should be drinking? Well, it gave myself

pause. When I saw that, I was like, oh my God.

But that and I - Well, how many times have we made - Well, that night she just

struck a chord with me and it got off into another direction. But I saw that

scene and I was like, oh my God. And I've had to evaluate my relationship

alcohol. Nicole from New York said, Dorinda, it seems like nobody else gets

mean as you do when confronted about their alcohol use. Why are you so

about this subject?

No, that's wrong.

Ramona did it as a zinger. And it had nothing to do with what we were... He's

asking you a question.

No. When anybody says it to you, she's so petrified.

Just go on. Just answer the question. Are you okay, darling?

Darling, are you okay? Darling, you're petrified that people call you a drunk.

You're petrified. I'm so sorry.

Let her finish. I feel so sorry for you. I feel sorry for you. Dorinda, I asked

you a question. It seems like you get very defensive when anyone brings up

drinking. Yeah, I'm very sensitive about that. And I would expect someone like

Ramona instead of using it as a weapon.

Why are you sensitive about it? Because I find it to be accusatory maybe. I try

not to point out like when Ramona's drinking or Ramona's sleeping with all

of people. I try not to point it out. See, she can't answer the question.

Dorinda doesn't like to be told that she's had too much to drink. And I get

that. I just look out for my friends because God knows I've had my issues.

I'll say that about Lou. She does.

Ramona does it to harm people's reputation and to be harmful.

You're a drunk. I'm angry.

You're bipolar.

She says she's for women, but she's not at all. I want to talk about you. That's

the thing. I feel like you're deflecting every time I ask this question. That's

Dorinda's deflection. Deflection, Dorinda. I can't talk with her. Okay.

worried. She's so worried.

No, the face looks great. The facelift looks amazing.

It really does.

So, yeah, I think I am uncomfortable with it.

Ramona aside, even when Luann brings it up, I just feel uncomfortable with it. I

don't know what else to say. Okay. Period. When you watch it back, does it

you question your relationship with alcohol?

Yes, of course. I think we all question our relationship with alcohol.

Is that a person here that doesn't? And if they didn't admit it, they're lying.

I drink in control. Don't interrupt her. I'm trying to hear from her. I'm trying

to hear from her. Go on. For me, it's stress -related, or I don't have an

to express myself, so I use alcohol, and it doesn't turn out well.

a lot this year. We all have our days, right?

And I certainly have seen myself through the years and look at it and go, wow, I

got to do something about that. Exactly.

Jessica from San Jose said, ladies, you all expressed concern about Sonia's

drinking this season. What made it different than what you've seen in the

I knew there had to be something with her medication.

That's why I took her aside. I go, there has to be the meds. It was a drunken

sailor. Normally, at the end of the evening, she would be feeling it. But it

started at the beginning of the evening. And that was really the issue. You were

really drinking rosé and Coke?

Oh, God. It was so disgusting. I was looking for any solution.

But the thing was, I would get one welcome drink and I was buzzed. That

like a problem, not a solution.

When I saw myself show up to Luann's party, I was like, what's this?

Hi, we're twins!

I had up the meds, the diuretic, and I was under the diuretic the first year

when I fell under the table with Bethany. Oh God, knock you out! Do it!

now! Oh my God.

I did not like the example I sent to my young viewers this year. What happened

was it slowed my motor skill.

So I would be like, yeah! Dorinda, you seem to question...

That Sonia's water pills were solely responsible for how wasted she was

Well, I take the same ones. And I didn't know that they, yeah, I take it every

day. As soon as I threw those pills out with Ramona, the next night I kept up

with everybody at dinner when we were talking. Yeah, you weren't sloppy.

You were totally contained.

To the end and beyond camera. It was the pill.

But I've taken it for years, just actually since I started menopause. You

water pill every day?

Yeah. Does it make you go urinate a lot, though? Yeah, it does. So how are you

sitting here?

I'm going to take you, but I don't want to go. I'm ready to urinate. Okay, okay.

All right.

Let's go and pee.

Although it's never happened at a reunion.

I'm ready.

We're going to be right back.

Coming up.

Tonya, I couldn't. Talk about me wanting babies again. You think, oh, this

again, this again. Well, on the show, you brought it up so many times to add

nothing on the show. It's my life, Sonia.

Welcome back to the Real Housewives of New York City reunion.

This season, Tinsley finally found her fairy tale ending with Scott. So she

packed her bags for Chicago, trading the hotel life and the housewives for her

happily ever after. chart. Take a look.

What's your name?

Tinsley. Tinsley.

Okay, I gotta take this. You gotta get ready for box day.

I got my braids. I'm ready. This summer has really been about me. I moved on

from Scott. I started dating this guy, Bruce, in March. He's from Chicago.

I just don't see this really working out.

It's done.

Oh, shit. Done.

I never even met him. Maybe I was on purpose.

I just wanted to be in Chicago and probably I don't know.

Bump into Scott? I don't know. I know. You like being single?

I like that I'm... I like... No, I don't like being single. Okay, make up your

mind. You need to take him home.

But you're seeing him. But I'm not seeing him.

If I happen to see an ex -boyfriend this past weekend, I don't think that I need

to share that right now because you're back with Scott? It went well, actually,

okay? Because I don't think it's going to end up well.

Tinsley told me that she will be getting married and this is it.

That's great, Tinsley. You'll love Chicago.

Give her this one moment that she's been fighting for, but no, they can't. I

want you to be happy. That's all I want to say. Yeah. Whatever you want to do,

just be happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. At least she cares, like, this

I mean, I can say that that's better than a lot of the other girls.

Why are you crying?

I don't know. It's just sad to me because we're going somewhere else. But,

Mommy, it's happy, and it's really good. I know it's happy.

And I love Chicago, and I love Scott, and I'm excited.

Everything is changing.

Come on, girly. Come here. You're going to Chicago.

It's been a great ride, and I'm just so happy for where I am right now and so

excited for my future.

Tinsley, I know it wasn't the smoothest ride to get there, but just to clarify,

you and Scott are still together.

Thank God, yes. You're still together. You're engaged.

You're getting married. Everything is good. Show your ring.

Oh.

Gorgeous. You know, it's just weird. It's just like weird sitting here.

It's not weird.

It's surreal. No, it's just surreal.

Just everything that I had wanted, you know? And I'm going to Chicago tomorrow

to go see him. And it's like a family again. It feels so good. You broke up so

many times. Was there one thing that was holding you two back as a couple?

Being in New York.

in Chicago, even though they're fairly close, was a big issue.

You persevered. I give you credit. Yes, you did. You persevered. I did. You know

what you wanted, and you went for it. I tried to date other people, and I found

out with Bruce that I was like, okay, duh. You were dating him because he's

Chicago, and Chicago is Scott, and you were trying to maybe make a job. Hey,

Scott, I'm in Chicago, too, and I'm with Bruce. See you later, dude. There was a

competitive thing. You like a mind game.

Yeah, I mean, maybe a little bit. I think a lot of them. I think that

How's the pandemic been? Has that like made it so solid, right? It's been so

amazing. I was the housewife I always wanted to be. You know, I was like

and cleaning and making the house. And I was like finally able to like show him

that also like I'm this person too. I think he never saw me in a normal

situation of being at home and being together.

Because we would always, every time we get back together, we would travel. But

will tell you this now, I will never complain about traveling ever again in

life after this moment, ever. Well, I don't think any of us will. Petra from

Atlanta. Hannah said, Tinsley, congratulations.

How ironic you have to leave housewives to become the only real housewife of the

group. Do you plan to do anything other than be a housewife in the traditional

sense in Chicago?

I'm very fortunate and blessed, and I want to do a lot of things to give back.

My big thing is obviously pet adoption, and I'm working with PETA and with PAWS

Chicago, which is the largest no -kill shelter in the Midwest.

But you're bringing awareness, major awareness.

Tinsley, how do you feel watching the season back and seeing what the ladies

were saying? Who do you think was actually supportive of your

Very few people.

Leah was, and I think later.

you two became better at it because you knew that you were sort of falling under

Dorinda's like spell of making you feel that it's honestly weird to see people

interested now in the relationship like I didn't hear anyone asking yeah during

it like I mean nobody I never felt any really real support I know but you have

to give it to us for not for being a little doubtful because you had broken

so many times so we were skeptical I felt

Like, shameful or embarrassed and humiliated. I mean, I've cried about

so many times. We all were very happy for you and Scott. We were.

But then we were shut out because, like you said, you were becoming very

protective of the relationship.

But I couldn't come back to you and say, I'm trying it again.

I'm trying it.

Sonia, I couldn't talk about me wanting babies again. You think, oh, this again,

this again. Well, on the show, you brought it up so many times to add

the show. It's my life, Sonia.

Drew from New York City said, Tinsley, is the real reason you left when you did

because Scott made you choose between him and the show?

No. Scott never made me choose between him and the show. He did not love you on

the show, though. I knew that the show was definitely an issue for him. And I

knew that when we got back together, it was a decision that I had to make.

That's how you met him. So why is this environment bad? It doesn't matter how I

met him, Dorinda. You're here because you know your husband now because...

of the show. So now he hates us. And this is where he met, you know what I

It seems kind of weird.

He hates us for what he got.

Thank God for the show. You're welcome.

Thank you, Bravo.

Would God have... let me if you're saying ultimately still film the show

finish the season out of course he would but because i just gotten back together

with him yeah i chose him over being here with everybody i don't blame you i

didn't want to put him in the mix of all this because it could be toxic and it

could be bad for my relationship ramona if you started dating a guy and he did

not want you on the show would you leave if he's gonna put a ring on it yeah

absolutely you too lou for sure For sure. For sure. I've left a career in

Italian television for my first husband. And by the way, too, I think the act of

me leaving New York for him and proving that that's how much I loved him

actually like solidified our relationship even more.

Hold on one second.

Sonia, you're putting sanitizer on your legs. Well, guess what? I need a little

shine for tonight. Anyway, yes, I did not want to put my relationship in this

environment. No. And if leaving the show and leaving New York is going to make

him know how much I love him, then I'm going to freaking do it.

Coming up... The vile turkey baster comment.

It was a bad joke and I'm sorry. How dare you? Okay.

Welcome back to the Real Housewives of New York City reunion.

This season, while Tinsley wasn't quite comfortable sharing all of the details

of her love life with the group, Dorinda had no qualms sharing her disdain for

Tinsley for not sharing. We have a clip.

To share.

Who's the one you have the problem with? My friend, Dorinda.

Dorinda? Yeah.

Where do you guys get these names from?

The minute you try to go deep at all, she retracts. You know, she's like the

turtle.

Saw you in January, and a week later, you had dinner with Scott.

That's not true.

That is true.

I don't know if Tinsley has the ability to open up and be honest. You've been so

forthcoming with me. Yeah. And that's why I'm like, I don't...

I just really don't know where to go with Dorinda. I'm done with it. I don't

care. I mean, you know me. I can eat Tinsley. She's like a mint in my mouth.

My tagline. For someone who's not interested in Tinsley, Dorinda spends a

time talking about her. Not only are you not value -added, you're un -value

-added. I really want curly hair.

You may not agree with everything Tinsley's doing, but to go on and on and

vicious about it.

I'm assuming

that

the two of you have not spoken since Tinsley left for Chicago.

Willa from Brooklyn wants to know, Dorinda? I think Tinsley's only spoken

Leah. But Tinsley never really spoke to any of us after she left every year

anyway. I know. We were actually friends at one point. And, I mean, the vile

turkey baster comment when women who cannot get pregnant and infertility is

a huge. Are you having problems getting pregnant? No, everybody, the women in

this world that want to have a child. I'm sorry about that. I am shamed.

For wanting a child, I'm shamed. For not having one, I'm shamed. I think you

should have. I'm surprised you're not pregnant already. You've been talking

about getting pregnant. Dorinda, that's not nice.

Dorinda, come on. You need to let Ivy up, okay?

Andy's baby was right, Ivy. I'm sorry. Would you say the same thing to Andy?

Would you say the same thing to Andy?

Stop. She said something very important that I never heard Dorinda say. That's

not true. I apologize to you all the time. No, no, but you said that. I said

sorry I said that. I apologize.

It was a bad joke, and I'm sorry. No, it's not a joke.

I thought it was mean.

How dare you?

Well, she's apologizing for it. It's so awful. You still said it, and it will

never go away. Okay. Willa from Brooklyn wants to know, Dorinda, what is your

issue with Tinsley? You talk about your charmed life as a wife living down the

road from Princess Diana in Kensington, but then you mock Tinsley for wanting to

be a wife and have a family with Scott in Chicago.

How is her situation any different? I believe half of what I hear in life and

all that I see.

And you guys saw just what was on the show. There was a lot of stuff, Tinsley,

that went on. What happened was...

After we'd been broken up, when we were in Miami, this was season 11, you and I

got in this horrific fight that was not on camera because I had told you that

Scott had generously given John some money that you did not know about. I

know about that. I don't do this, Scott.

I know he did a commercial with you. I don't know what you're talking about,

John. The betrayal that you felt from John manifested itself into anger

me. You took it out on me.

It's just not true.

Okay. The producers wanted me to not stay in the house that night because you

were going so crazy. They were actually worried about my safety.

You turned on me that moment when you found out John had that money. And that

what happened.

I never got involved with John's finances.

Is it because he gave John the money? Is that why you're mad?

Well, you had a huge fight about it in Miami.

I did. You called John saying, don't use my friend to ask for money. You don't

run gay behind my back.

I don't want you to talk to Scott. He is not your friend. So when I say to you,

don't do something, you better listen.

I remember that phone call. We were traveling.

We're in Miami.

I have done nothing to you for you to hate me when you do. Your jealousy, your

hatred, your obsession with my relationship.

Hey, girl, I'm engaged. We're getting married. So you can, like, just move on.

She's obsessed with this.

Next week, the reunion continues.

What more do I need to do? Do I need to poop in front of the camera like you

did? I don't know.

I go and I perform at her party, the Drag Queen Bingo.

I didn't ask you for money. You didn't ask me to perform, by the way. Okay.

Are you seeing somebody?

Oh, my God. You know, we'll see.

Really? Camera's down.

Enough. She's done drinking.

Like, this is how I pick up men.

In front of your daughter.

If you're bipolar and on medication, you don't drink. You know it's going to end

up on the show.

And that's why you did it.

I was so embarrassed I cried. Maybe you should lose a few pounds.

You made it worse.

Your friendship means everything to me. Read the text.

Andy asked you, do you regret what you said to Luann? And you said no. Don't

look at yourself and go, oh my God, I can't believe I said that to Lu. I don't

think Dorinda hits below the belt. What?
