The Real Housewives of New York Season 9 Episode 16 Recap: Drama In Tequila

Ramona and Sonja are like two petulant children when they get together, and have a few drinks.  On The Real Housewives of New York Season 9 Episode 16 , the ladies made their way to Mexico, and things got off to a dramatic start.  Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 9 Episode 16 Online “I was literally throwing up in a garbage can this morning,” Bethenny revealed to the ladies while making fun of Ramona for having a face like Frankenstein.  Yes, her face was not as on point as usual, and part of that was down to the mass skin peel she had, but did it stop her from having fun? This is Ramona we’re talking about. She’ll find a reason to have fun so long as a margarita is in her hand. That’s why I love her. She’s hilarious.  When the ladies exited the plane, they got into their car and talk quickly turned to Tinsley’s big date. “How was the date?” Luann questioned. “It was good. It lasted for five days,” said Tinsley. She revealed that they went to Miami and had a lot of fun. Will they be marrying on the next date? I’m going to assume yes.  This is Tinsley, and she’s proven anything during her stint on this Bravo smash, it’s that she’s full of emotions.  As is always the case on trips with these ladies, Ramona and Sonja made it their mission to find the best room in the house so that they could be above everyone else.  While Bethenny flipped the eff out at the very thought of the two women trying to steal rooms, Dorinda was not fazed by the room because she was on vacation.  “I don’t care what room I get. I’ll sleep on the lawn,” she said.  While the two women searched for the perfect room, the rest of them were introduced to the staff, and a chef shared the same name with Ramona, and I could not deal with it.  “Ramona’s the cook?” Luann laughed.  “Yes, Ramona,” replied the chef.  Who needs Ramona Singer when we have Ramona, the cook? God, if Ramona Singer were in the kitchen, she’d lace every single dish with Pinot Grigio.  In fact, she’d probably serve Bethenny up a side dish of poison.  Bethenny got wind of the drama with the room and immediately put her foot down.  “We’re going to do it fair. We’re not fucking gavone animals,” said Bethenny.  Bethenny told the women they were doing a lottery with the rooms because she wanted the whole trip to be fair. Ramona and Sonja were pissed because they picked the best room.  Tinsley got to pick any room first, and immediately gave Bethenny the best room because she planned the trip.  View Slideshow: 15 Real Housewives Stars Who Have Been Arrested As expected, Sonja called Tinsley out for apparently not being considerate. Pretty funny when you consider the fact that Sonja was being inconsiderate by taking a room before anyone.  Ramona played along and tried to get in a room with Dorinda, but she was not ready to let Frankenstein bunk with her.  “Stop being a spoilt brat. I will literally take your shit and throw it in the pool.” Dorinda yelled at her.  “Two old bags left their bags, like two old bitches marking their territory. Not in this casa.” Bethenny said when she noticed Ramona and Sonja’s crap in her room.  In the end, Ramona decided to make one of the maids a slave and started firing orders around. She wanted someone to empty her case and just do things that any normal human would do for themselves.  Tensions flared up when Tinsley’s friend got an email about Page Six running a story about her. She confided in Carole and Bethenny, before sitting down at the dinner table.  She wasted no time in calling out Ramona and Sonja because she thought they were to blame. Here’s the thing: the whole thing seemed like it was scripted.  If we learned anything from it, it was that Tinsley was not a good actress and should probably find her own apartment, because it’s not surprising Sonja is getting tired of her.  Finally, we got to see a heavily drunk Luann, and it was delightful. She was falling around the place and even found herself stuck in a rose bush.  Drunk Luann is someone anyone would want at their party. What do you think of all the drama? Sound off below!

R. Kelly Sex Partner Details Singer’s Alleged Cult, Blow Job Demands

R. Kelly is accused of running a cult in which he keeps women captive in his Chicago and Atlanta homes, forcing them to provide him with sexual favors and controlling every aspect of their lives. So stated a bombshell report by Buzzfeed last week, which quoted parents of these women that were understandably concerned for their daughters’ safety. A lawyer for Kelly has said her client is ” alarmed and disturbed ” by these false allegations, vehemently denying any such cult exists. But here’s the thing: some thing is clearly going on. A woman named Jocelyn Savage has spoken out in defense of Kelly, claiming she is not banned from leaving his home and is simply staying their out of her own volition. She explained in an interview with TMZ this week that her own father even dropped her off at Kelly’s awhile back in order for the singer to help further Savage’s music career. But Savage refuses to state her actual location. Moreover, a relative of another woman under Kelly’s quasi control tells this same website that Kelly lures his so-called victims in by lavishing them with expensive gifts. Yes, this person claims, the women are free to leave. However, Kelly uses a “calculating, methodical process to groom naive girls” into becoming dependent on him. He also takes their smartphones, this person alleges. Are Kelly’s actions illegal? Maybe not. Do we know for certain what is taking place inside his residences? No. Is Kelly one effed up dude with serious character issues who has been accused on numerous occasions of sexual misconduct, nearly always with women much younger than he is? Yes. Along this latter line, a woman who refers to herself as “Kim” spoke to Jezebel about the entire cult rumor and outlined what goes on in R. Kelly’s shady universe. She says she met Kelly about a year ago and has flown out to spend time with him on about 10 occasions. They’ve carried on a sexual relationship. As a self-described “sometime member of his entourage,” this is what Kim has to say about Kelly’s harem: HOW HE CONTROLS HIS WOMEN: When we’re out, we’re not allowed to look at anyone. We have to keep our heads down. If we’re back in his studio sitting on the couches and he has friends across the room at the bar we can’t look at each other or communicate with each other… If we’re in an Uber and we chat up the driver we’re supposed to tell him this girl did this or that. He’s very controlling and manipulative. He likes to be in control. WHAT CAN THE GIRLS SAY TO EACH OTHER? No compliments are allowed, Kim says. I was looking at [a woman who walked by while out to lunch once] and he kicked my chair because I was looking up. Just super possessive. It’s a strange kind of dynamic. HE MAKES SEXUAL DEMANDS: He never makes threats, but the girls are so eager to do whatever he wants. He’ll wake us out of a dead sleep and say to this girl, ‘Suck my d-ck,’ or to these two girls, ‘Kiss on each other,’ and immediately without thought they jump right to it. It’s just bizarre. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before honestly. THIS IS A TYPE OF BRAINWASHING: It’s not non-consensual, I guess. But I don’t know if they even realize the situation they’re in is wrong. HIS PUNISHMENTS INCLUDE… … the following, apparently? We’re just going to copy Jezebel’s full entry for this example because it needs to be spelled out in detail: Kim said that she and the girl were instructed by Kelly to ‘take off your clothes and act like you miss each other.’ He got out his iPad and started filming, she said, but was dissatisfied by the 19-year-old’s performance. He told Kim to sit on the couch and took the 19-year-old into another room. Twenty minutes later, he called Kim in. Kim knocked in the proper way, then walked in to find the younger girl nude except for one of Kelly’s bigger pieces of jewelry, a heavy chain. He had his iPad recording and she was naked except for a big chain and she was running laps from one end of the room to the other. She was running laps around the room and apologizing. She kept saying, ‘I’ve been bad, I’m sorry Daddy,’ shit like that. And I’m standing there and she starts apologizing to me. No one from R. Kelly’s team has responded to these latest allegations. We’ll let you know if they ever do. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities You Probably Want to Keep Away From Your Children

One Of R. Kelly’s Hostages Little Friends Says She’s Not A Captive, But Won’t Reveal Her Whereabouts

One Of R. Kelly’s “Kept Women” Speaks Out As we’re sure you’ve heard by now, R. Kelly’s been accused of preying on young women YET AGAIN — this time, keeping a bevy of brainwashed young beauties holed up in a mansion together and cutting them off from their families solely for his own sexual pleasure and entertainment. That’s if you believe the parents of one of his alleged “victims,” 21-year-old Joycelyn Savage. In addition to a lengthy expose by Buzzfeed, Joycelyn’s parents held a press conference detailing how brainwashed they believe her to be, detailing her personality changes, and her supposed inability to leave the home R. Kelly has placed her in without his permission. Now, TMZ has caught up with Joycelyn, and she pretty unconvincingly is reporting that she is a-okay and her parents need to leave her alone: ….right. Nevermind the fact that the shadow of whoever was filming her clearly made a “cut it” motion with their hand when it came to questions about where she is and who’s there with her . She also confirms she hasn’t steadily spoken to her family in nearly six months while she’s under Kellz’ “care.” Yeah, sounds SUPER voluntary. Granted, this girl is an adult — regardless of how young and lost she sounds here. We don’t know how much recourse the family truly has when she’s over 21 and claiming that she is choosing to do what she’s doing and simply not ever speak to or see them. Mind you, Kelly’s 19-year-old “girlfriend” Halle Calhoun is allegedly part of his little clique. SMH. All of this is just…creepy. What do you think of Joycelyn’s synopsis of the situation?

The Real Housewives of New York Season 9 Episode 15 Recap: Oil and Vinegar

Did Ramona manage to get back to being in good graces with Bethenny? That was her plan on The Real Housewives of New York Season 9 Episode 15 when it became apparent there were strings attached to her invitation to Mexico.  Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 9 Episode 15 Online When the episode got underway, Ramona opened up to Luann about reaching out to Bethenny when she learned what happened with Jason Hoppy. Yes, that d-bag who won’t shut up about the star.  Ramona seemed a little pissed that Bethenny was still pushing her away because, well, she’s tried about everything she can to make nice with her former friend.  Sometime later, the ladies met up for a steak dinner, and Bethenny started things off by ignoring Ramona’s existence.  Luann tried to get Bethenny to just invite Ramona along for the trip because it would divide the group further if she did not.  Bethenny opened up to Ramona and basically called her a snake.  “I’m very uncomfortable because of the way that you’ve treated me for a while, and I don’t know how to move forward,” Bethenny said. Ramona was not about to let her name be dragged through the mud, and chanted that Bethenny said “negative things.”  “Don’t say that you’re Miss Perfect because you’ve said some nasty things, too,” Ramona clapped back. Ramona quickly went into an emotional tirade and countered that her life was just as bad.  “Don’t even try to compare your life to mine!” she shouted. “Have more respect for me and more sympathy!” Bethenny then said she did not want Ramona going on the Mexico trip, but Ramona countered that it is a group trip, so she will be attending.  Yeah, you tell her, Ramona! “Yes we had a fight, that’s what life is,” Ramona said. “I don’t need a negative energy and I care for you in a sense but you just don’t like to be cared for.” Bethenny then felt the need to blame all of the crazy things they say about each other on their strained relationship.  So, they made a pact to zip it, but Bethenny revealed in a confessional that it was crap.  Meanwhile, Tinsley wanted to get back into the dating game, so Carole set her up on a blind date with a friend.  It was a double date, giving Carole a good look at how Tinsley reacts under pressure. The date, however, was a colossal failure.  Tinsley claimed she feels herself when she’s drunk, and even revealed that she still wears her original wedding ring.  Like, what fresh hell was that? Was she trying to scare the dude off? Why speak about previous relationships on a first date?  It all seemed a little too bizarre to take seriously, but we learned one thing: Tinsley will be single for life.  What do you think of all the drama?
