“I am, like, so good,” Ramona Singer tells Crushable. She is in high spirits because she’s gearing up for the HSN show featuring her newest jewelry line on March 2 — her one year anniversary at the shopping net — and the premiere of the latest season of Real Housewives of New York City March 4.
“It is going to be so insane,” Ramona said of the upcoming season of Housewives. “On the other shows, like New Jersey and Atlanta, they get physically abusive. We get verbally abusive. I just can’t wait to watch.”
“This season I think I’m more of the referee,” she went on. “I’m getting along with everyone. I’ll speak my mind, but I’ll still meet them for lunch. I’m still friendly with everyone.”
Even though she says she’s getting along with everyone, some of the clips that Bravo’s released show Ramona getting testy. Like this exchange between her and LuAnn that brought Ramona to tears:
“LuAnn was demanding that my husband apologize to her,” Ramona explained about the exchange that took place in the middle of a party she threw on a yacht. “We were at a polo match eight weeks earlier and he had said something about her like, ‘She’s Countless now.’ Then eight weeks later she brings this up and we’re on this yacht! If he did say it, that’s between him and her. It’s just annoying.”
Ramona also let us in on a few of the biggest fights in the upcoming season: keep an eye on Alex and Jill, she said. “There’s this exotic trip to the Virgin Islands that I take with the girls that is like total craziness,” Ramona said. “Kelly disintegrates. Basically, Kelly implodes.” Oh boy. We love when Kelly goes nuts. Remember last season’s blow up with Bethenny? Reveals Ramona: “There’s going to be a scene that’s going to make last season’s ‘I’m here and you’re down there’ look like playtime.”
We wanted to know, if the women are not all friends in real life, does Bravo make them hang out together for the sake of the show? “If you’re in a scene with the other women, it’s more likely to make it in the show,” Ramona said. “If you’re doing something by yourself, it will probably be edited out. It makes it a little interesting.”
Beyond the show, all Ramona wants to talk about is her jewelry line and her daughter, Avery. “I’ve always wanted to be on HSN and when I met with them they asked me, ‘What are you really passionate about?’” she explained. “I said jewelery because my husband is a fourth generation jeweler. I like to create these deco estate pieces that will last forever. They’re in style right now and will be in style in a few years and I can pass it down to Avery. It’s affordable, wearable jewelry that looks like it costs thousands but only costs hundreds. It’s all I wear now.”
(By the way, Ramona’s wearing her own jewelry in the photo above — diamond swirl earrings ($249), a smokey quartz ring with diamonds ($329) and a diamond brush cuff bracelet ($299) — and its all available on www.hsn.com.)
And look for more of Avery on Housewives this season. “She’s 15 and she’s an adolescent, so she has very mixed feelings about it,” Ramona told us. “There was a photo of us in one of the magazines, and she said, ‘Mom, don’t think you’re famous now.’”
