‘Real Housewives of New York City’s’ Sonja Morgan Signs With UTA for Comedy Touring (EXCLUSIVE)

Sonja Morgan , a beloved cast member on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has been signed by UTA for comedy touring. Morgan is set to launch a nine-city leg of her “Sonja in Your City” tour this spring, and tickets go on sale March 8.

Morgan joined “The Real Housewives of New York City” in the show’s third season in 2010. She has frequently appeared on stage on the show, including in a famous Caburlesque performance during Season 6, and when she joined her castmate Luann de Lesseps for a rousing version of “Money Can’t Buy You Class” in the show’s 10th season (during which Morgan had a wardrobe malfunction, which she took in characteristic stride).

On “RHONY,” Morgan is known for her joie de vivre (sometimes to a fault). She has gone through highs and lows on the show, both financially and emotionally, but is a fan favorite and emerged from the show’s tough-to-watch 13th season with her spirit and dignity intact. “RHONY” is currently paused as Bravo figures out how to repair the show — an important cornerstone of the franchise — after its most recent season, which concluded in September and suffered from low ratings and negative publicity .

According to UTA, “Sonja in Your City” is a variety show, and in addition to improv comedy with Morgan, it will feature acts local to where the tour lands, including drag acts and stand-up comedians. The tour begins on April 29 in Cincinnati and will next go to Indianapolis on April 30. Then there are three dates in Texas, as Morgan goes to San Antonio on May 5, Houston on May 6 and Dallas on May 7. She’ll then perform in Huntington, New York, on June 16 and Montclair, New Jersey, on June 18. The remaining dates are Atlanta on June 23 and Columbus on June 25.

The “Sonja in Your City” tour is being produced by Norm Laviolette and presented by his company, Improv Asylum; it premiered at his club Asylum NYC in September 2021. Jeremy Brothers directs the “Sonja in Your City” tour, and its musical accompanist is Adrien Pellerin.

With “Sonja in Your City,” Morgan becomes the second “RHONY” cast member with a touring act: De Lesseps has successfully staged her “Countess and Friends” cabaret tour since 2017.

Take a tour of all the ‘real housewives’ most extravagant houses.

For a franchise solely focused on rich housewives and their opulent lifestyles, it’s not surprising that the ladies of The Real Housewives all have amazing homes, from million dollar mansions to sprawling condos. And regardless which franchise is your favorite, whether it’s Beverly Hills or Atlanta, all the houses are equally extravagant. Want to take a peek inside?

MUST SEE: Post 15 Hilarious Gift Ideas Only ‘Real Housewives’ Fans Will Understand

Although the Bravo cameras are always inside the housewives’ homes, sometimes it’s hard to get a clear look at what’s happening in the background, especially since most episodes focus more on shouting matches at charity events than interior design.

The one exception was season nine of The Real Housewives of Atlanta . A major storyline centered around dueling neighbors Kenya Moore and Sheree Whitfield. The argument was over who had the better house, Kenya’s Moore Manor or Sheree’s Chateau Sheree. Moore Manor was sleek and modern while Chateau Sheree was grand and over-the-top like a castle.

Deal of the Day

“I think both houses are great,” fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Kandi Burruss said about the feud. “I think it’s a major accomplishment as women… For both of them to accomplish this, I think it’s great. For both of them to be arguing about it, I think it’s stupid.”

Check out the gallery below to see more houses from The Real Housewives .

Lisa Vanderpump ( The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills )

Lisa's "Villa Rosa" house is supposed to be a downsize from her old million-dollar mansion, but the home is still over-the-top in its lavishness. Check out that entrance!

Inside Lisa's house

Sleek and classic, the style screams "Vanderpump."

Bethenny Frankel ( The Real Housewives of New York City )

Bethenny bought two homes after her divorce and remodeled both of them. She put her Soho home up for sale, but she calls this Hamptons abode home.

Inside Bethenny's home

“I'm just happy here,” she told Entertainment Tonight . “New York is where I work, and here is where I really live. I feel very settled.”

Kim Zolciak-Biermann ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta )

She upgraded her townhome to a lavish mansion after tying the knot with Kroy Biermann.

Inside Kim's house

Not only is the house grand (and features several self-portraits of Kim herself), the house also has an elevator.

Kandi Burruss ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta )

Kandi bought this mansion for cheap and then renovated the whole thing, saving a lot of money.

Inside Kandi's home

Kandi's design is very boldly feminine, with lots of gold and pinks.

Kyle Richards ( The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills )

"It's a little big. It's deceiving," Kyle told Entertainment Tonight . "When you see the outside it looks like a cozy home, but it's seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms."

Inside Kyle's home

She spent $1.5 million remodeling the entire home, changing the outdated '80s decor into something entirely unique.

Cynthia Bailey ( Real Housewives of Atlanta )

After divorcing husband Peter Thomas in 2017, Cynthia sold her old townhouse and purchased a beautiful lake home for $960,000. Although the house itself is beautiful, the backyard lake is the real showstopper.

Inside Cynthia's House

Cozy and quaint, the greenery from the surrounding wilderness makes her home feel private and tranquil.

Sonja Morgan ( The Real Housewives of New York City )

Despite being in the noisy city, Sonja's million-dollar townhome on the Upper East Side has a gorgeous garden area in the back that's considered huge by New York standards

Inside Sonja's House

Other perks of this gorgeous home? It also has a hidden elevator!

Brandi Glanville ( The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills )

Brandi's home, which she moved into a few years ago, is surprisingly quaint for a housewife.

Inside Brandi' home

Other highlights in Brandi's home? A stripper pole — in the bedroom, of course.

Yolanda Hadid (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills)

Yolanda used to share this beachy home with her ex-husband, David Foster. After the divorce, she downsized into a condo (and then sold that one too). But for old time's sake, let's take a look at it.

Inside's Yolanda's home

In addition to being beautiful, each window in the house opened out to a gorgeous view of the ocean.

Nene Leakes ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta )

She moved into this new $2 million mansion in 2015 that boasts a Mediterranean interior decor and a backyard pool.

Inside Nene's house

Nene is clearly a huge lover of white but, according to her , because she's designing most of the house herself, she's a little slow on finishing it.

Porsha Williams ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta )

Most people downsize after getting a divorce, but not Porsha. Despite being a single gal, she bought this gigantic house all for herself.

Inside Porsha's home

The mansion has a large grand entrance with a double spiral staircase.

Kenya Moore ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta )

Kenya moved out of her lavish rental mansion into a home in the woods she designed and built herself.

Inside Kenya's house

Kenya's style is sleek and modern with several floor-to-ceiling windows to show off the surrounding nature.

Sheree Whitfield ( The Real Housewives of Atlanta )

Chateau Sheree took years to build, with many fans doubtful if it would ever be finished. But in 2016, Sheree finally got to show off the completed house.

Inside Sheree's house

If we could think of one word to describe Sheree's house, it'd be "castle." The place is huge!

Luann de Lesseps ( The Real Housewives of New York )

Luann has several homes, including a Manhattan penthouse, but her Sag Harbor home in upstate New York is gorgeous, too.

Inside Luann's home

Luann says the kitchen is her favorite room in the house. "It’s just this massive water view," she told Luxury Living Magazine . "For me, the best part of the day is waking up – getting to live another day – walking into this kitchen and making myself a cup of coffee," she said. "Looking at that view – I feel so blessed."

Dorinda Medley ( The Real Housewives of New York )

Her massive home in the Berkshires was dubbed “Bluestone Manor” by her castmate Carole Radziwill.

Inside Dorinda's home

“I feel like I belong here,” she told Bravotv.com. “When I come up that driveway it’s as if everything releases, my breathing changes and I truly think I’m home.”

A fresh look back at ‘The Real Housewives of D.C.’

Peacock is now streaming the scandalous, long-lost season of the failed washington-based bravo reality show. it never stood a chance..

Remember “The Real Housewives of D.C.”? No, not Potomac. D.C.

It’s the one where the blond lady crashed the White House state dinner wearing a red sari. And took a picture with Joe Biden . And then set off a media frenzy that led to her and her husband testifying before Congress. Yeah, that one!

Well, it’s back. Peacock added “The Real Housewives of D.C.” (RHODC) to its platform last week. It’s the first time the series has been available to stream since Bravo aired its one and only season nearly 14 years ago.

The Style section

The central drama of the show — that cast members Michaele and Tareq Salahi had breached security at President Barack Obama’s first state dinner — had already played out in public before the first episode aired. The Washington Post broke the news in November 2009. By the time RHODC premiered, in August 2010, people were already sick of the story — especially people in D.C.

In The Post’s scathing review , Hank Stuever lamented the “rot” of Bravo’s “transgressive trash” and called the show “an afterthought nobody needs to actually watch.”

Cast member Mary Schmidt Amons, who is best remembered from the show for installing a biometric lock on her closet in an unsuccessful attempt to keep her daughter from borrowing her clothes, thinks the show was unfairly panned.

“I felt like our show was very authentic,” she said from her family farm in St. Mary’s County, Md., where she runs an interior design business and is working on a documentary about her grandfather Arthur Godfrey .

“As much nonsense and ridiculous behavior that was conducted by the Salahis that basically crashed the show, I still feel like it was a great snapshot of D.C.,” Schmidt Amons said.

Her castmate Lynda Erkiletian, who memorably combined Judaism, Christianity, astrology and sage burning in a house-blessing ritual for the cameras, agreed.

“I never believed that it was going to be canceled until I actually read about it being canceled,” she said in a phone call from her home in Chevy Chase, Md. She still runs her talent company, the Artist Agency. She also mentioned that, since opening up her heart chakra, she has gotten engaged, a turnabout from when she was dating Ebong Eka on the show and insisting that marriage was overrated.

O n his SiriusXM radio show on Wednesday, the show’s executive producer Andy Cohen said he lobbied hard for a second season of RHODC, which he now understands was an impossibility.

“When the FBI subpoenas your raw tapes, there ain’t no way,” Cohen said. “This was such a big internal shonde at NBCUniversal that there was no way this show was coming back.”

Scandal and crime are not always fatal blows to Bravo shows. On “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” the raid of Jen Shah’s home — which ultimately led to her fraud conviction and imprisonment — was deftly folded into the drama of the show. After the press reported on the off-camera shenanigans of the cast of “Vanderpump Rules,” the show was rewarded with the most-watched episode of Bravo TV in some nine years.

But the fallout from RHODC cast members sneaking into a White House party didn’t bolster the show’s drama. It subsumed it.

Cat Ommanney’s razor tongue and slurry British accent could have made her a legendary villainess. Stacie Turner’s search for her birth parents could have been genuinely touching. Erkiletian’s blend of Southern manners and New Age woo-woo could have been iconic.

But all were drowned out by the din of the Salahis and the chaos they sowed.

Paul Wharton, a stylist who was a regular character on the show, thinks RHODC could have been saved by different production and postproduction choices. “It’s like baking a cake,” he wrote in an email from London, where he lives part time and works in the television industry. “Our show had all of the ingredients but needed one of those fancy electric mixers to smooth out the lumps and be tasty.”

But the city of D.C. is a tricky ingredient for Real Housewives. D.C. runs on politics. Politics runs on politeness. Politeness is poison to Real Housewives.

“Anybody who’s involved in that political world enough to have made it interesting never would have done it in a million years,” said Brian Moylan, the author of the best-selling book “The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives.”

There are political players who appear in the show. Ommanney’s then-husband, Charles Ommanney, was a photographer who was assigned to cover the White House during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations. Republican lobbyist Edwina Rogers pops up a few times, as does then-D.C. Council member David Catania.

“You kind of wanted this to be a reality ‘West Wing,’ and it didn’t ever really quite give us that,” Moylan said.

When the biggest issue at hand is a party guest list or a perceived social slight, watching people argue can become escapist, almost soothing. That’s not the case on RHODC when they’re arguing about marriage equality or affordable health care.

In one scene, Cat clinks champagne flutes with a Republican lobbyist for health care before telling her that she considered “Republican lobbyist for health care” to be an oxymoron. “I was wondering if you’d like to pay my medical bills. I’ve only got $23,000 since I’ve been here,” she purred with a smile.

It’s hard to find glee — the reason viewers tune in to Bravo — when confronted by our broken medical system.

Schmidt Amons disagreed. She thinks the show could have benefited from even more political content. “If we had gone on and had to navigate through the politics that have ensued since 2010, we would have had an epic, epic series,” she said.

O f course, since 2010, politics have become much more polarized, and reality TV stars have been legitimized in ways that would have seemed unthinkable, with Kim Kardashian becoming a billionaire and Donald Trump the 45th president.

In that sense, you could argue that RHODC was ahead of its time. That’s not to say it holds up perfectly. Unsurprisingly, there are moments that have not aged well.

Turner was the cast’s only Black housewife, a staggering fact considering the demographics of D.C.

On the show, Turner endured several interactions that we would now characterize as “microaggressions.” As her White castmates toast to being one another’s “soul sisters,” one tells Turner that she can be “our Diana Ross.”

Ommanney repeatedly butted heads with a supporting character named Erica over what Erica considered racially questionable comments.

At her birthday dinner, Schmidt Amons went on a cringey tangent about why hair salons should be integrated and was met with puzzled looks from Black attendees.

“Yeah, that was very regretful,” Schmidt Amons said of her hair salon comment. “That was dumb, dumb, dumb.” Schmidt Amons said that she regretted some of her other comments on the show, but felt as if she was mostly portrayed fairly by producers.

Turner did not respond to requests for comment, and Ommanney declined to speak on the record.

Also shocking from today’s lens is the way castmates discuss Michaele Salahi’s thinness.

“Tell her to eat a burger and fries,” Erkiletian casually said of her castmate, which set off several arguments in later episodes.

“It was true, though: I genuinely was concerned,” Erkiletian said, stressing that her 39 years as the president of a modeling agency has made her sensitive to seeing weight changes. “Working in the industry that I do, it’s a constant red flag when you see somebody that has an unhealthy BMI.”

R ed flags abounded in the Salahis’ RHODC storyline, even before they crashed the White House. The couple come off as either fully in denial of their actions and consequences, or as a pair of con artists who never give up the grift, even when being grilled by congressmen on live national television.

Michaele Salahi did not respond to a request for comment.

You’d think a re-watch might bring some sort of revisionist appreciation for the Salahis. In recent years, criminals such as Gypsy Rose Blanchard and grifters such as Anna Sorokin have become quasi-folk heroes in some circles. A few months ago, “delulu is the solulu” — read: “delusion is the solution” — became a meme.

So why does watching Michaele Salahi on RHODC still provoke feelings of unease? Seeing her pretend to look for an invitation in her car that she knows never existed isn’t zany or fun. Her unchanging smile isn’t campy; it’s uncanny.

“The kiss of death for any housewife is inauthenticity, and the fans can always feel that,” Moylan said. “You could feel that these two are full of it, and not in a fun way. In a gross way.”

That was the ultimate issue with RHODC. Delusion, served quickly and without too much context, can be comedy. When it’s delivered in long, lingering shots that hold on empty, smiling eyes, it becomes horror.

After RHODC aired, Michaele was reported missing by her husband, Tareq. It was later revealed that she had been AWOL canoodling with Journey lead guitarist Neal Schon. Yes, that Journey, of “Don’t Stop Believin’” fame.

The two have been married since 2013. They have not starred in a reality TV show. Yet.

Marysol Patton’s “Beautiful” Coconut Grove House Has “Charm and Character”: See Inside

The Real Housewives of Miami  friend shows where she and her husband, Steve McNamara, “locked eyes for the first time.” 

On the Season 4 premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami , Bravo fans were re-acquainted with Marysol Patton at her quaint Coconut Grove home. During the episode, the beauty invited her BFF  Alexia Nepola  to her humble abode, where we got our first glimpse of her stunning living room and kitchen. And we were thoroughly impressed by the setup.

In the video above, Marysol gives an exclusive tour of her 1930s-built sanctuary, including the “beautiful” backyard that holds a special place in the Miami native’s heart.

Marysol Patton’s Living Room

“I have fond memories of this room,” Marysol explains as she shows off her divine living room. The stunning space has dark brown hardwood floors, cream and tan couches, and a white marble mantel.

Directly across from the fireplace is a side porch arranged with wooden-style chairs set with plush cream pillows and wood woven ottomans that give the area “charm and character.”

What’s more, Marysol reveals that her home’s “modern state” is due to its previous owner, who happens to be her “high school friend.”

Moments later, the RHOM friend gives a look at her dreamy kitchen where she “cook[s] up a lot of love and cockies.”

Marysol’s kitchen is stunning, thanks to the white-and-black tones she used to accentuate the space. The petite layout has a marble countertop, white cabinetry, and a matching dining table neatly decorated with a candle and potted orchid plant.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry area that doubles as an impressive display for some of Marysol’s fine ceramic tableware. “We have quite the Hermes China collection here,” she says in the clip.

Additionally, Marysol provides a peek at her serene backyard. “We do most of our entertaining outdoors,” she says, showing off the haven, which includes a refreshing pool.

In fact, the swimming pool holds a sweet memory for Marysol as it's where she and her husband, Steve McNamara , “locked eyes for the first time.”

The outdoor entertaining space doesn’t stop there. In front of the natatorium, there’s a former garage that Marysol transformed into her pool house. The converted space has a wine fridge and a lounge area complete with a chaise sectional, a glass-top coffee table, and a TV.

Melissa Gorga Says 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Fans are In For a Twist In Season 14

More on how the next installment will see the housewives being divided into two groups!

The Big Picture

• Gorga and Guidice's feud isn't over and new alliances are forming among Housewives .
• Gorga is building relationships with new cast members like Cabral.
• Executive producer Andy Cohen believes having divided camps on the show isn't sustainable.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga has spilled some beans about the upcoming Season 14 — the kind that will catch the viewers by surprise! The next installment in the long-running Bravo franchise is set to premiere on May 5, 2024 , and the trailer for Season 14 has confirmed that the feud between Gorga and her sister-in-law Teresa Guidice isn’t ending anytime soon. But this time around, it looks like the other housewives are changing teams on the reality series .

While Gorga and Guidice did not interact with each other at all during the filming, the former claims that she has gone out of her way to build relationships with new people this time around. In an interview with The U.S. Sun , Gorga shared that she’s gotten to know her cast-mate Danielle Cabral a lot better in Season 14, even though Cabral was initially Guidice’s friend.

In addition to Cabral, Gorga has also expressed her love for co-stars Dolores Catania , Margaret Josephs , and Rachel Fuda who have all been ‘Team Melissa’ in the past. She went on to spill more beans on the cast of RHONJ being divided into two camps in the upcoming season during a premiere party that Josephs would be throwing. Gorga’s exact words from the interview that hint directly at this situation are quoted below:

“We’re all going to Margaret’s house. I won’t say all of us, but I would say a majority of us are going. We never do one big party. I feel like the Jersey cast always splits up into sections as you can tell.”

Another installment of Bravo's "The Real Housewives" reality show. In this series, they focus on housewives living in New Jersey.

Executive Producer Andy Cohen Thinks the Feud Between the Two Ladies Is ‘Not Sustainable’

The bad blood between Gorga and Guidice runs deep. The ladies have had several disagreements ever since Gorga joined the show in Season 3 back in 2011 . One of their earliest on-screen fights started when Gorga’s husband and Guidice’s brother, Joe Gorga , called his sister “garbage.” The housewives temporarily called a truce when Teresa was imprisoned for fraud in 2015. But the tension between them never really died down.

Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga Should Actually Be Best Friends

In 2022, Gorga and her husband decided not to attend Guidice’s wedding because they felt betrayed by all the attacks she threw their way over the years. The following statement by Gorga perfectly captures how this whole feud affects the show:

“The biggest misconception is that it's gonna be more drama between me and my sister-in-law, we don't even, like, look at each other.”

Andy Cohen also gave his two cents on this whole feud on Radio Andy . He said that having two camps in any of his shows is not sustainable. The executive producer clarified that his statement wasn’t specific to Gorga and Guidice because something very similar is happening on The Real Housewives of Potomac as well ! Cohen went as far as to even add, “Unlike the ladies of Potomac, the New Jersey cast was able to make it work for Season 14,” adding that this season is more about shifting alliances than just “Melissa versus Teresa.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premieres on Bravo on Sunday, May 5, 2024.

Phaedra Parks Teases Possible 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Return (Exclusive)

The 'Married to Medicine' star and 'RHOA' alum spoke with ET at the grand opening of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center on Thursday.

With the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 on the horizon, fans are still eagerly waiting to find out who will be rounding out the cast -- and it sounds like  Phaedra Parks could still be contemplating a return.

Parks walked the carpet at the grand opening of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center on Thursday, where she spoke with ET's Brice Sander about her future on TV, and what it was like being a part of season 10 of Married to Medicine .

"You know what, they are very different from The Housewives  'cause they're professional women, but they have really strong relationships and true friendships," Parks said of her fellow Married to Medicine co-stars. "So it was a good time."

"We actually started taping two days ago," she added, confirming her return for another season of the Bravo reality series. "We're back for more."

So does that mean her RHOA fate is sealed, and fans should speculate on a season 16 return?

"I don't know if that puts all the rumors to rest," Parks teased coyly. "Because I'm a multi-faceted type of girl."

Thus far, the only Housewives confirmed to be returning are  Kenya Moore  and  Porsha  Williams,  who previously left the series after season 13.

With Williams' return, Parks seemed to be more inclined to consider a return herself after her departure following season 9 in 2017.

"I love Porsha and, you know, we've been talking, and hopefully we can work something out," Parks said. "Porsha's my girl, so I'm really excited for her."

Despite being gone for several seasons, Parks said she feels "the door has always been somewhat open" for her to return. 

"But I want to do what's best for me and my family, so it's got to be the right opportunity," she said. "And it's got to be with the right castmates."

Bravo announced Williams' comeback to  RHOA  -- and her comprehensive scripted talent deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment -- back in February.

According to the agreement, she will exclusively collaborate with NBCUniversal Entertainment for scripted projects spanning the company’s broadcast and streaming platforms.

"I'm incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family," Williams said on social media at the time. "I'm looking forward to being back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta , and showing the world my new world!"

Meanwhile, Moore took to Instagram earlier this month to post a video announcing her return for season 16, saying, "I may be Gone With the Wind Fabulous, but I'm not Going anywhere!"

The former Miss USA winner  told ET in February,  "If I get an offer -- if I  have  an offer -- you'll know it when Bravo announces it." 

Moore made the choice once before to walk away from the Bravo series, sitting out season 11 as she focused on her then-new marriage to  now-ex-husband Marc Daly  and her pregnancy with now-5-year-old daughter Brooklyn. 

"Everything has its season," she told ET. "You can't have one, single job forever, for the rest of your life, at least most people don't. You have to follow your heart, and in this time where I just feel liberated, you know? I finally have been granted a divorce, I finally got the most beautiful child I ever wanted -- everything that's on my vision board comes true, for the most part -- and I feel like when it's time for me to move on, I'll just know, and it'll be a happy moment. It won't be sad. It will mean that I am taking a step in a different direction, and I would hope that everyone would support me in that."
