Signings for Ramona Pinot Grigio

The best part of the trip to St. John the year before was that I had rekindled my friendship with Sonja. We’ve known each other for thirty years and she always puts a smile on my face. Her positivity and zest for life always help to diffuse all the crazy situations we Housewives get into. Sonja is a woman who enjoys life and has had the best that life offers. When she came on the show she was like a breath of fresh air, so I went into Season 4 feeling energized and excited. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most difficult seasons for me.

I had been looking forward to filming with Cindy Barshop, who I had recommended bringing onto the show. We had really good energy before we started filming, but once we were on camera she seemed to have all this animosity towards me. Meanwhile, with Bethenny now off the show, I felt like Jill came gunning for me. It was horrible. She seemed jealous that I was showcasing my Pinot Grigio and I felt that she was trying to make me look like I have a drinking problem. Television is a powerful medium and if a lie is repeated often enough people will start to believe it. I felt like the more she accused me of having a drinking problem, the more viewers believed her. For the record: I do not have a drinking problem nor have I ever struggled with addiction of any kind. I am an adult, I work hard and play hard, but I know my limits and I am never out of control. You rarely see Jill drinking on the show and I’ve heard that the reason for this is that she has had problems with substance abuse in the past. I have always respected her privacy, so for her to publicly accuse of me of having a drinking problem, which is not true, was very upsetting to me.

It all came to a head at Jill’s charity event to raise awareness of bullying, which is ironic since I felt as if I was the one being bullied. When ladies go to a charity luncheon and pay $200 a ticket, they expect a glass of wine with their meal. Jill’s assistant had asked me to donate some of my Pinot as there was no wine donor for the luncheon. I couldn’t sponsor the event because I had a very limited supply in from Italy at that time, but I wanted to help. I carried a heavy, twelve-bottle case of wine in heels over to the event through the pouring rain, but somehow my gesture was completely misinterpreted. In that episode you see me drinking, but they kept showing me with the same glass. It looks like I was drinking more than I was. Jill criticized me on the show for drinking a glass of wine at noon, but meanwhile she was serving these heavy-duty vodka martinis at the same lunch.
