RHONY Ramona Singer Says She Drinks ‘With Responsibilty’
Bravo TV has been highlighting Real Housewives of New York Ramona Singer and her wine consumption this season.
Her love of pinot grigio and how single minded she can be when she doesn’t get that specific drink coupled with the other housewives talking about Ramona’s drinking have left viewers wondering if she does have a problem.
Singer says it’s all bunk.
“Do I overdrink? No. I drink with responsibility,” Ramona said. “I drink with a beautiful dinner. I would rather have my one or two glasses of Pinot Grigio than dessert which is 700 calories.”
Ramona points out how many of the episodes are filmed at parties and events where wine and alcohol flow freely, not just for her.
“All I can say is, we’re filmed in social events. If you look at anytime I have a drink in my hand, look what LuAnn [de Lesseps] is drinking. The other people are drinking,” Ramona said. “The only person who doesn’t drink is Jill [Zarin]. She only drinks Diet Coke – and you wonder why? But anyway, all the other Housewives shows – they’re all drinking.”
Singer, 54, says life is short and she just wants to enjoy herself with a glass or two of wine after a hard day of running her businesses.
“I’ve been on the show for four years. How can I have five businesses, be married 19 years, have a daughter who’s a straight-A student? I cannot even be a … functioning alcoholic if I had all of this stuff going on,” Ramona said. “It would be impossible. Do you ever see me fall down on TV? Do you ever see me slur my speech? Absolutely not. Do I have a drink or two with dinner? Absolutely.”
I think Ramona and whether or not she is an excessive drinker – you simply cannot tell by the way Bravo edits, so I find it unfortunate that she is being labeled with this. I don’t trust what any of the housewives say about each other. But I do think her obsessive need for just one kind of drink (pinot) is pretty over the top.
