Real Housewives of New York: Aviva Drescher Isn't Speaking to Ramona Singer and Her 'Puppet' Sonja Morgan
"Real Housewives of New York" star Aviva Drescher has blogged and tweeted about her St. Barths' fight with her cast mates Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan, but now she has also opened up about the incident to Us Weekly magazine.
Drescher's husband, Reid, came with his wife to St. Barths because she has a fear of flying in small airplanes. However, Singer and Morgan were displeased Reid came to join them on their "girls week."
When Drescher and her husband arrived, Singer and Morgan stayed in the pool and did not greet them. In true "Housewives" fashion, the group got into a huge argument: Singer yelled at Drescher to take a Xanax while Drescher shouted that they are acting "disgusting" and are "both white trash."
Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, who is no stranger to Singer's wrath, came to Drescher's defense and stirred the pot by telling her that Singer and Morgan tried to figure out a way to ask Reid to leave the house.
"First and foremost, I am very much against name-calling . . . it just slipped out . . . I regret ever calling anybody a name like that," she told Us Weekly magazine last week.
Drescher did, however, explain why she came across so harsh: "What was behind those words was tremendous hurt and disappointment in these women that I thought were my friends and ultimately set me up to fail."
Since the season has wrapped up, Drescher said she's still friends with the Countess, Heather Thomson and Carole Radziwill -- but the same can't be said about her blond costars.
"We're very fractured," Drescher admitted. "I get along with everybody except for Ramona and her puppet -- I mean Sonja. Ramona, Sonja and I are not speaking."
Singer's comments about Drescher and her prosthetic leg have also offended her. "Ramona is notoriously insensitive and inappropriate and very awkward . . She's almost child-like," added Drescher, who hopes to raise awareness about those living with artificial limbs through her appearance on the show.
Prior to the Sept. 3 premier of the explosive fight, Singer tweeted: "Aviva enough about your leg already."
On the Aug. 27 "Housewives" episode, viewers were left wondering if Raziwill dated George Clooney.
"Carole's been single since 1999," Drescher teased of the "What Remains" author. "I think she's dated many fabulous men. I think George Clooney would only be so lucky to date Carole!"
