RHONY OGs Stay Connected: The 'OG Beauties' Chat Spills Tea on Their Unbreakable Bond

Sonja Morgan has revealed she stays in touch with her RHONY pals via their group chat, 'OG Beauties'

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK SISTERS SHINE ON: SONJA MORGAN Dishes on OG Beauties Group Chat and Florida Reunion

Get ready for a juicy update from the one and only Sonja Morgan, as she spills all the tea on her close-knit relationships with former Real Housewives of New York co-stars. In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note.com, Morgan revealed that despite their departure from the show two years ago, the OG ladies are still going strong.

The OG Beauties Group Chat: A Bonding Experience

Morgan, 61, let it slip that she and her RHONY pals have a secret group chat called 'OG Beauties' (thanks to Kelly Bensimon for coming up with that fabulous name!). The chain, which includes Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer, and others, is where they keep each other updated on their lives. "We're all about supporting each other, no matter what," Morgan confessed.

No Distance Can Come Between Them

But that's not the only way these friends stay connected. With many of them now calling Florida home (yes, you read that right!), it seems like a mini-reunion is just around the corner. "I ran into Bethenny at a Ryan Murphy premiere, and we were over the moon to see each other," Morgan shared. Who knew those two would still be friends despite all the drama?

Emotional Reunions: Dorinda Medley Edition

But it wasn't all smiles when Sonja ran into another former cast member, Dorinda Medley. "We met backstage at a women's empowerment event and broke down in tears," Morgan revealed. "It was real – we really care about each other." It seems their bond is stronger than ever.

Keeping Track of Each Other: Ramona Singer Edition

Morgan also revealed their hopes to return to small screens, which she has done since leaving RHONY with Welcome to Crappie Lake

Morgan shared an amusing anecdote that showcases the OG Beauties' dedication to one another. "We were all worried sick when Ramona went missing for three hours! We thought she'd abandoned us!" Only kidding, Morgan revealed that Ramona was simply busy playing golf (and not answering her phone). "You know how it is – you're gone for five hours, and we're like, 'Is she okay?' So, yes, we keep track of each other."

A Bond That Pre-Dates RHONY

But what's truly special about these friendships? They were formed before the cameras started rolling. Morgan has been close to Luann de Lesseps, Singer, and Jill Zarin for years, long before they became Real Housewives. "That's why Andy Cohen wrote in his book that genuine friendships are key to a successful franchise," she explained.

Morgan is currently on her comedy tour, Sonja In Your City, with her next show scheduled for September 24 in Tampa, Florida

Why RHONY Fell Apart

Morgan offered some insight into the demise of their show: "When they started introducing new cast members who didn't know us or trust us, it just didn't work. We were all friends before, and we still are." Morgan believes that's why their show ultimately failed – they tried to force new relationships onto a group of established friends.

Friendship Over Drama

Morgan emphasized that these friendships have withstood even the toughest challenges: "We've been through so much together, and it just proves how strong our bond is. We love each other, no matter what." And don't worry – they're not done yet! The OG Beauties are currently working on a new project (think a show about their lives in Florida) with multiple producers.

The New Project: Timeless Lifestyles

Morgan dished on the upcoming show concept: "It won't be called Real Housewives of New York anymore – it'll be more like 'Timeless Lifestyles' or something similar. We'll share our lives, but this time, in Florida." Think The Golden Girls meets Real Housewives.

Sonja In Your City Tour

With this update on Sonja Morgan's friendship-filled life, we're reminded that some bonds are truly unbreakable – no matter what drama comes our way.
