September 4, 2012 12:40 am Bravo…
OK, I lost my s–t on tonight’s episode.
Inside I was wounded, hurt, angry, and vulnerable. I felt bad enough that Reid had to come at all and I was so embarrassed that my “friends” were hashing out a plan to kick him out of the house when he was just trying to do a nice thing and get me down there to be with them. I felt like I had to be protective of him when we were being mistreated and I went overboard. Anxiety is a weakness, which I am not proud of, and I am working on it. I am not totally there yet but all I can do is keep trying to improve.
Before I left NYC, I found out that a family member could watch our four children and Reid was able to get away for the weekend. So I called Ramona. Her giddy response was “Oh good, oh good! I will do something funny when you arrive! I will give Reid coupons to come to dinner a few times with the girls.” Reid took the phone and told Ramona he didn’t want the coupons because he wasn’t there to be with the girls, he was just getting me to the island. So basically I called Ramona to see if Reid’s presence in the house was OK with her and she gave me her unconditional blessing.
We thought about staying at a hotel but Carole, our hostess, insisted Reid stay with me in my room. Since I knew, and now Ramona knew, that Reid was going to be away from the house except for sleeping, it seemed like a practical solution. In retrospect had I known that Reid taking a bed, which had its own private entrance, would have caused so much drama he would have been happy to stay in a hotel. . .
But even if he stayed in a hotel I just have this funny feeling that we still would have gotten berated. Regardless, it just didn’t feel right at last minute having him stay in a hotel alone.
So what happened between the time that I spoke to Ramona on the phone where she gave me her full support for Reid to come down and the time that she and Sonja badmouthed us? If they had a problem with it why didn’t anyone call me and either ask us not to come or ask Reid to book a room in a hotel? Why sit, talk behind my back, and plan to set us up? Had they called, I would have not come! Or I would have gotten a hotel room. Cell phones work perfectly well in St. Barths.
When I arrived at the house and Ramona and Sonja were in the pool, I sensed a cold unwelcoming vibe from them.
Conversely, LuAnn, Heather, and Carole could not have been nicer or warmer. They made me feel happy that I had pushed through what was a difficult trip for me (btw: that plane takes a nose dive at the end!). They made it worth it.
Once I realized that Ramona and Sonja were planning to ask Reid to leave the house, thanks to LuAnn being forthright, I could no longer see straight. I was irate. Reid is my husband and the father of my four children and he had just flown me to St. Barths for a silly “girls’ trip.” And my “friends” were planning on asking him to leave? Unacceptable. Imagine the shoe on the other foot and me asking any of their family members to leave the house under any circumstances? It is my constitution to welcome people in any home no matter what.
I was so angry that I couldn’t even get my words out properly. I didn’t need a “party” nor a “red carpet.” I just wanted someone to appreciate that I came down in spite of all my fears to be with them and my husband was just going above and beyond. A high five would have sufficed. Again, I did get that from Carole, Heather, and LuAnn. It was because of them that I stayed at all.
I regret that I called Ramona and Sonja “white trash.” Name calling is wrong and I should have used different words to convey my point. Here I am raising four children and one of the biggest rules in our home is no name calling. It just slipped out of my mouth in a moment of anger. I suppose now I have to give my children one free pass. NOTE: Would love to know the other “house rules”…
PT Housewife on her “Apology Tour”…
I would have formally apologized in St. Barths but I was just too upset — hence the silly reference to Rush Limbaugh’s idiotic fake apology.
It’s NOT about the children with no legs… it’s all about AVIVA!!
I suppose apologizing in Ramona’s ear as she gave me her own phony apology was probably just not good enough. For my part, I expected more from my “friends” Ramona and Sonja. Without trying to absolve myself of all of my sins, I hope everyone can appreciate that this was the perfect storm of bad circumstances for me.
NOTE: PT “lost her sh*t” tonight?? PT’s been losin’ her sh*t since her first appearance on the RHONY…
Shoulda, woulda, coulda….mmmmmmmmmNope. Doesn’t fly.
Reid looked like he would’ve been more than happy to get a hotel-on another island. PT is more than cuckoo. She is mean. She knew just how to hurt Sonja. And manners? Who orders their hostess to send guests to a hotel?
Anyway, I’ve hated Ramona until tonight. She can’t handle Heather, but sets off PT’s crazy.
Aviva freaked out and didn’t even let the conversation unfold. Ramona and Sonja seemed to be telling her about how they had ALL, (yes LuAnn too), discussed not wanting a guy tagging along, but they were leading into saying it was ok that he came after all if he was going to stay in his room. They were actually being honest with her, but she flew off the handle. I’ve heard of a gracious hostess, but I didn’t realize that everyone invited on a trip was expected to be so gracious that they couldn’t even discuss things nor swim nude at the hint of your arrival.
Bingo. And even after watching the episode PT is holding on to her delusion about Luann for all she’s got.
bahaha she said “imagine the shoe on the other foot.”
Also Pt you didn’t get a family member to watch YOUR four children. You might have found family members willing to keep your three(please say this wasn’t pervy papaw) but Reid’s daughter just stayed with her momma…. AS PER USUAL I am sure.
Why did she feel it necessary to mention that she has FOUR children three times in this blog? Also, if she was truly worried about having the plane crash and kill her, why would she insist that her husband and the father of her FOUR children accompany her? If the plane is going to crash, wouldn’t it be better that they are not on it together so as to not orphan their FOUR children? What is it with PT and her rhetorical questions? Does anyone else find this annoying?
Absolutely, Ana!
True! She is holier than thou.
Ha! Right? We know you have FOUR children. Weirdo.
She also could have taken the ferry, 40 minute trip…I have extreme flight anxiety and if I had the choice of a 5 minute flight on a puddle jumper or a calm, cool ride on the ferry, well, ferry it is!
Cause she’s a freakin NUT, @ Ana , LOL!
And yes, I find that really annoying!
i was absolutely horrified at how vicious aviva was in response to ramona and sonja. i know there was some careful editing going on, but she was batsh*t crazy when she hurled out that “white trash” at the pair. I don’t think I would have kept my cool like sonja did, though. aviva knew exactly what to say to escalate things & then she spent the rest of the evening being a bitch. i feel sorry for her husband if this is what he has to deal with. he reminds me of bobby zarin in a way. cheerful and unwillingly dragged into his wife’s crazy world (her dad is uber creepy).
Oh it woulda been on like donkey kong if she pulled that cra cra crap on me! On my vaca? Uh uh… Something tells me Reid would have given me a high 5 when I was done with her too! I’m just not buying his knight in shining amour husband act. I mean come on?! He’s gotta tell her to stfu sometimes like once a day. I’m sure. Either that or her has some earplugs.
OMG woman! PT, TP, whatever you are. You WANTED a red carpet and YOU ARE the biggest drama queen there ever was.
I am embarrassed for you. You are an idiot. WOW!
she is dangerously close to making every other housewife in every other franchise entirely and completely reasonable, rational and sane
“If the plane is going to crash, wouldn’t it be better that they are not on it together so as to not orphan their FOUR children?”
exactly
PT,
Speaking of high fives, if you or your hubby ever have a run in with johnny law please don’t try this.
Tip of the day to ya,
Made
Lol! But if you do get pulled over; hopefully it’s by these guys.
Love that movie! Shenanigans.
Anxiety ridden PT lady, you need to freakin grow up! Let’s be honest, you were expecting a red carpet to be rolled out for your “presence” and a lavish welcoming party. You didn’t get it so you were pissed! LuAnn was totally out of line for repeating girl talk. It is true, when you have a girls trip, men are not suppose to be apart of the gang. It does change the dynamic, that is ALL Sonja and Ramona and LuAnn were saying. They were only joking around about Reid leaving. You tried to make somethin out on nothin! Maybe during your next shrink visit, you should discuss your inflated ego and taking it down a notch or two. And lastly, you say you are trying to set an example for amputee’s that you can be just like everyone else? Your are failing miserably, that is all you talk about is being victimized and wanting to be rewarded lavishly for doing normal things like taking a GIRLS trip!
Oh yeah and while I am at it.. whats with the potty mouth PT? Way to keep the title of your blog classy. Lost your SH!t? really? I mean I gots a potty mouth too sometimes but I don’t walk around bragging about fancy colleges and how privileged and multilingual I am. Is this a super advance class in the language of curse words that Vassar offered? Maybe I can get a fellowship there? Anyways, nice work on rearing YOUR four kids to be appropriate. My my my at the lessons you teach.
HA…It was kind of funny how Mz. Morgan was crying and angry about being called white trash, me thinks she has been called that MANY TIME among her “PEERS”, and she DOESN’T LIKE IT. Also i did not like how Aviva expected for the girls to roll out the red carpet for her, WHO IS SHE? I also did not like when Ramona suggested for her to move, she kept on aksing ” why did you want me to move? why” so ANNOYING and i think she was rude for asking carole to ask the other girls to leave
Adults high five??
Judging by this video, it appears that most of them have a problem with it
embarassing yet hysterical…!
Hillarious, the ‘ole rub-the-back-of-your-head move always work when your high five attempt fails.
I loved it when Carole called them all (sans Heather), idiots! Truer words were never spoken! What a way to treat your gracious Hostess! Holy inappropriateness!!! IMO, a couple of them need a good slap across the face – Scarlett style!
Carole should have said, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”.
Even though I think that Aviva was completely out of line, it was the funniest thing to me to see Ramona get the same treatment she gives out. People try and tell Ramona that she is inappropriate and she sees her behavior as authentic and real. When Aviva went off on Romana is was like looking into a mirror. I did feel bad for Sonja but we are all responsible for our on images. Sonja reminds me of Samantha from Sex in the City. It’s cute and funny on TV but not so much in real life. That is why Aviva thought it was appropriate to set Sonja up with that disgusting father of hers. Btw, can someone explain the paper towel reference? I think I missed it.
VIvia paper towels. AND she is self absorbed PLUS in her HD close up pictures her pores resemble paper towels. like paper towels that have been stored too long and they are fixin to dry rot.
I cannot understand why this woman agreed to be on this show. What, exactly, was she expecting? Is she really doing this to further the charity for amputee’s? Is she a closet “actress”? She seems to be constantly preparing for a place in life (law school, etc.) but always afraid to actualy live it. I cannot understand her motivations.
I don’t get why she showed up in St Barths. First she wasn’t going. That part made total sense. Stay home! Then she has a coming to Jesus talk with Reid about going. Oh Mylanta!! On the plane she tells Reid not to talk about how awful the plane ride is and he continues to do so anyway. Wth, Reid?! Lol Then.. and I’ll just shorten this story. She gets there and all hell breaks loose! Has PT ever been on vacation? Does she have friends? Is her middle name awkward cra cra? Heather is stupid for talking PT into coming. PT is just unreal!
friends? …. doubtful
Thanks @ madepiley, now it all makes sense. LOL.
She is an elitist phony baloney who has always been spoiled. I read an interview written when she was 28. She said her mother and father did a beautiful thing and bought her an island in Jamaica just so she could run around free in a bikini! One thing that bugs me about Aviva is if she is always spouting off about her leg and wanting to help children who lost their limbs than why doesn’t she donate her Bravo paycheck to her charity? If you google Aviva Teichner ,you will see the article.
Yes the article where they discussed her HUGE modeling career, and how desirous she was to the opposite sex.(my one eyebrow raised). The same modeling career she now denies ever having. A psycho walking contradiction of pathological self promoting lies.
Did you see the Us magazine blip that compared her to Claudia Schiffer? She prolly sent them an email telling them “ya know I have been told I look like Claudia, so if you mention that in your magazine I am sure it will make all the children without limbs feel good about themselves” bahahahahaha
oh yeah another one of those PWCPSPL’s!
Mouth: No need to “google”… it’s on SH. We’ve been on to PT Housewife from the get-go. TFC!! SH
My bad. I should’ve known! That’s why you are the best HW blog evah!
I feel sorry for the children being “raised” by this nutcase! They are going to be plauged by doomsday paranoia and grow up to be just like her, minus the “when I was 6, I lost my leg…..” excuse. There are alot of folks who suffer from anxiety, but this is HER issue not everyone else’s! Why does she think everyone around her should suffer because of her personal issues and paranoias? She is always expecting a celebration from everyone everytime she gets on an elevator, goes to the top floor (unless, it is conveniently her condo in Miami), gets on a plane, train or automobile! I’d be surprised if her husband doesn’t have to wipe her butt for her cuz she’s afraid she’ll fall off the toilet, hit her head on the bath and bleed to death….geez, she needs some serious therapy! If she wants to continue the victim role, that’s up to her but it is not up to her friends or aquaintances to treat her like the Queen, just cuz she got on a plane and showed up. She ruined the whole trip…..everyone was getting along and having fun til the wet blanket showed up.
There are alot of people in the world with missing limbs that go on and live a very full, rewarding life. They do not sit and feel sorry for themselves and come up with all the things they CAN’T do because of an unfortunate accident. Ried seems to have given her a pretty good “life” yet all she can do is find reasons to complain and not participate in it. She’s a disgrace and def not a good role model for children or ppl who have lost limbs and trying to move forward in thier lives. Role models are positive and uplifting, exactly opposite of what she is.
I really do feel bad for the children, seeing and hearing her constant fear and paranoia IS being picked up on by them and they are inheriting a miserable existence in the world.
I have been a long time lurker. Although I don’t always agree, I have always enjoyed the comments and recaps. Aviva, however, is so incredibly ridiculous she just makes my blood boil. Sadly she lost her foot as a child. Tragic I agree. Her family however secured a $$$ settlement. She now lives a luxurious life with a closet full of legs. Her infirmity has not hampered her ability to live life to the fullest. She, however, never fails to mention it – is it to elicit sympathy?. My father lost his leg at age 49. He spent a couple of weeks in the hospital, a couple in rehab and was released with his artificial leg and told to have a nice life. He climbed the stair every day to work. He continued to be the sole support of his family, he never complained and never explained. It was a non-issue. The only time he ever mentioned it was when he fell asleep and one of my brothers would hide it or change the sock and shoe on it. (He put it on and have one dress shoe and one work boot) Then he’d laugh and tell then they didn’t have a leg to stand on in the comedy department. BTW he only had one prostetic leg and had that one until the day he died. Sorry this is so long and thank you Ms SH for letting me vent. I also think Paper Towels remark about “white trash” was racist and had anyone else used an ethnicity wrapped in an insult they would have been fired.
I’ve been waitingto hear a real story like your fathers. Your dad, my dear augustine, is a truly brave man….
