The main takeaway from this season of The Real Housewives of New York City: Don't mess with Bethenny Frankel's business. Especially not at Dorinda Medley's slumber party!
That was clear on Wednesday's episode, which saw Frankel reach new heights of anger as she berated LuAnn de Lesseps for what Frankel saw as the Countess taking credit for co-inventing Skinnygirl. De Lesseps has said she was simply there when Frankel spoke the name aloud – as 2007 footage from the show supported. But Frankel felt she was taking credit for the idea.

Well, that's a first.
Andy Cohen has hosted hundreds of hours worth of Real Housewives reunions. He's seen tears, cat fights, walkouts and plenty of wine-chugging. But on Thursday night, Bravo's finest managed to lull a Real Housewives of New York City star to sleep.
Amid a bittersweet conversation about widows Carole Radziwell and Dorinda Medley bonding over their dead husbands, Ramona Singer gently nodded off.
"Do you want me to wake you when something happens regarding you?" Cohen asked, laughing.
Then, the cast went back to business, bickering over their doomed trip to Turks and Caicos, otherwise known as the sixth circle of hell.

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 reunion began with a quick recap of what the ladies have been up to since the season wrapped. Highlights included Sonja Morgan being out of debt, Carole Radziwill not having finished her next book, Dorinda Medley receiving a phone call from someone in Hillary Clinton's camp telling her that the presidential candidate "really enjoys" her on the show, and Heather Thomson making the bold decision to retire her catchphrase, "Holla!"

Part One of The Real Housewives of New York City reunion kicked off Tuesday, and the spotlight was focused squarely on the return of Bethenny Frankel.
"LuAnn made a toast to bringing you down," Heather Thomson said at the outset, referencing a luncheon with LuAnn de Lesseps before the season started filming. "She was not excited about Bethenny coming back."
"That's not true," countered the Countess. "I don't remember that."
"They had axes to grind with you," said Carole Radziwill. "LuAnn don't lie."
"I believe it," said Frankel.
"If I did, I own it," the Countess said quietly.

The Real Housewives of New York City had quite a year this season: Bethenny Frankel returned, Countess Luann de Lesseps used the word "cool" a lot, Carole Radziwill had an emotional trip to London with Dorinda Medley and met a new man, Kristen Taekman launched a nail polish line, Heather Thomson got left in Sonja Morgan's foyer and Ramona Singer walked around in a yellow bikini and got her towel stuck in the door. Naturally, there is a lot to discuss, and the first part of the three-part reunion was a doozy. There were bombshells, insane statements, Ramona doing Sonja's makeup and so much more. Let's start with the best thing: Andy Cohen asked Heather when she'd retire "Holla!" And She Did It...

Tuesday's season finale of The Real Housewives of New York City concluded, ironically, with a "New Beginnings" party that featured an old fight between Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer.
"We're going to celebrate new transitions, new beginnings," Singer said about the party she was throwing for herself to celebrate her divorce and start of a new life. "It's about me being me."
"New beginnings?" Frankel retorted when greeted at the door by Singer. "What does that even mean? That sounds like a bunch of bulls---."
The pair continued their feud that started during Sonja Morgan's fashion show when Frankel...

It was a major fashion don't on Tuesday's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.
Sonja Morgan debuted her fashion line at New York Fashion Week, and the wheels nearly came off the clothing rack before the models were in their outfits.
"I'm hoping Sonja pulls this off," said Dorinda Medley. "I think she's going to pull that rabbit out of her hat."
But there was no magic behind the scenes.
"This is not f---ing happening," Morgan screamed moments before the show was set to start. "Not one person has a chignon here! No one has brought me the second looks!

After Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley returned from their trip to London to retrieve Carole’s husband's ashes, they wasted no time getting back in the swing of things with the rest of the Real Housewives of New York City. Carole met up with Heather Thomson for a drink and got the scoop on Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl party, which, in sum, was that Ramona Singer was underwhelmed by the selection of men and is terrible at being single. Meanwhile, Sonja Morgan had been hard at work (or so [...]...

The ladies of the Real Housewives franchise have had their fair share of run-ins with mediums, whether they were at dinner parties from hell (hi, Allison DuBois) or brought in to speak to Vicki Gunvalson's recently deceased mother (he was a medium, not a median), but none have been as eerily accurate as the medium on The Real Housewives of New York City. Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson and Dorinda Medley traveled to the faraway land of Queens, New York to consult Sema, a Turkish coffee cup reader and when we say she was spot on we mean it. She was so on point that we can't help but wonder if the producers perhaps gave her any kind of info before the ladies got there. Check out the clip below. "Ok,...

Following on the heels of Vicki Gunvalson's Rhoc visit with a medium, Carole Radziwill met with a psychic on Tuesday's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.
"I like to get a little spiritual reality every now and then, and I heard about this Turkish coffee reader," said Radziwill, who invited Heather Thomson and Dorinda Medley to join her.
The trio met with a Turkish coffee reader, who made them "coffee mud," according to Medley.
The reader had each take a drink and then swirl the coffee around their cup, before reading the grounds in the bottoms and sides.

LuAnn de Lesseps and Heather Thomson are not exactly the best of friends on The Real Housewives of New York City. Recently they had a big argument over the naked man brought by the Countess in their room during the ladies' trip to Turks and Caicos-- something that inspired LuAnn to do the dance jam "Girl Code (Don't Be So Uncool)." However, that doesn't mean that LuAnn will be happy to see Heather go if the report about her exit is true.

Have these frenemies buried the hatchet?
Heather Thomson has been criticizing The Real Housewives of New York City costar LuAnn de Lesseps' behavior during their "Scary Island Part 2" trip to Turks and Caicos. (They argued after the Countess brought a male guest back to the ladies' vacation home, startling Thomson when she woke up.)
"LuAnn is always painting someone else to be the villain because LuAnn takes no responsibility for her own behavior or her own actions," Thomson, 45, told People Now.
But de Lesseps, 50, says if the rumor that Thomson isn't returning to the show next season is true,...

Heather Thomson won't be "Holla!"-ing to The Real Housewives of New York City costar LuAnn de Lesseps' new dance jam anytime soon.
On Wednesday, the Yummie shapewear designer addressed their feud – and a report that she's leaving the series after three years as a Housewife. (Bravo did not return requests for comment.)
Though she was coy about her future on Rhony – telling NBC's New York Live, "We have so much to talk about on what's happening on the show right now … I mean, who can even think about next season, let's stick to this season" – she had plenty to say about the Countess.
