Tinsley Mortimer is the new housewife on “The Real Housewives of New York”. She joined the cast as a friend of Sonja Morgan and during the very first episode, she moved into Sonja's townhouse in New York City. She decided that she wanted to live with Morgan after her arrest, as Tinsley tried to clean up her image.
Mortimer was known as a socialite around New York City when she was married, and after her divorce and her arrest, her image suddenly changed.
Now she's back in New York City to fix what was broken and with the help of Sonja Morgan, Tinsley is rebuilding her social circle.
When she moved into Sonja's townhouse, she was convinced that she had a friend that she could rely on and turn to when she needed to. However, Tinsley Mortimer was shocked to learn that Sonja seems to be blaming her for not being invited out to social events. On "The Real Housewives of New York" Sonja is acting a little rude and weird towards Tinsley. In her Bravo blog, Mortimer opens up about what it's like to be shunned by her friend.
Does Tinsley Mortimer feel betrayed by her friend?
Tinsley Mortimer states that she is feeling a bit unsure when meeting the other ladies of “The Real Housewives of New York”. She also points out that she feels Sonja was being a little snarky and she sent her to the charity event that Dorinda Medley was hosting, completely on her own.
As she writes in her blog, Mortimer is just unclear whether Sonja is trying to be helpful in having her meet new people, or just trying to confuse her with her behavior. On last week’s episode, Tinsley heard Sonja talking behind her back about feeling hurt and angry that she went out for dinner with her friends without her.
Tinsley is questioning whether Sonja is really a friend, a sister or her second daughter.
Mortimer feels like Sonja is treating her a bit like a daughter, especially because she's sleeping in Sonja's daughter's bedroom while living in her townhouse.
There are rules and regulations as to when she can go out, and Tinsley is not allowed to meet guys and bring them back home to the townhouse. And yet, Sonja would love for Tinsley to meet someone. Maybe Tinsley is foreshadowing a bit, but she writes in her blog that she hopes that Morgan can figure out what it is that she wants for her friendship before things go really bad.
Is Sonja blaming Tinsley Mortimer for issues with her co-stars?
As for Morgan, she feels used by her co-stars. She feels that they are all trying to use her and she feels betrayed from last year when Dorinda Medley didn't invite her to the Berkshires for a girls weekend.
It seems like Sonja really likes to play the victim this season rather than take responsibility for her own actions.
What do you think of Tinsley Mortimer's blog about Sonja Morgan? Do you think that she has a point in regards to Sonja’s behavior or do you think Mortimer is reading too much into it and perhaps acting ungrateful as she has a place to stay in New York City?
