Sonja Morgan, the Newest Member of the Real Housewives of New York

The newest Real Housewife of New York, Sonja Morgan, is not afraid to make waves. She describes herself as “the straw that swirls the drink.” That’s a bold statement, but it comes from a bold woman. Sonja is the quintessential housewife who loves to shop, spend all her ex-husband’s money on diamonds and high end designer labels, and shag new and younger men. She’ll add some much needed spice to the Housewife dish.

Morgan, the former wife to the heir of J.P. Morgan, won the ex-wife lotto. But that being said, she still came up through her own determination and smarts. A mere 12 years ago, the then Sonya Tremont was just a hostess at a midtown restaurant. She made a name for herself amongst the New York money men as being beautiful, charming, and savvy. She used these connections to build a network all over the world and made her way into business…as well as into the arms of a very rich ex-hubby.

It’s about time the show picked up someone with some sass and verve. The cattiness was starting to drive everyone nuts. Jill needs to get over Bethenny already. Come on Sonja, we’re ready for you!
