To me, Sonja is a bottomless pit of need for money. She makes nearly half a million for being a ho (her salary was part of a legal filing). If she can't live comfortably and take care of her kid with that, I doubt it would be any different if she had more. If Morgan would give her more or pay of her debts, I believe she'd be in the same position in a short while. Until she gives up the socialite lady of manor routine and lives within her means, nothing will change. I know this sounds cold, but if her money woes have a substantial negative effect on her mothering capability, maybe the daughter would be better off living with her dad most of the time. I know if I had an ex that was the primary parent of a young daughter and was acting like Sonja does for the world to see, I'd question whether it was the best place for my kid. |

Is the kid in boarding school or not? Because Sonja talks about being home in the afternoons for the kid. Then she said Harrison goes to school with her, but that could be boarding school too. Sonja should've managed her money better. She could have sold two of the properties initially and lived comfortably off annuities along with her settlement money and the child support. She hasn't even paid the $7 million judgment, right? She is getting the $500k. I wonder how much she has paid in atty.'s fees. Icy I think Old Man would pay for anything the daughter needs. I bet Sonja is talking out her ass about the hot water. I bet her bathtub is the only thing that didn't have it. Maybe it is her tactic and she is trying to shame him into giving her more $? |

The trustee handled the sale of the house in France and it sold for $5.7 mil. After fees and all, some of that will have to go toward the judgement. I also wonder if a portion of her salary is being garnished? I'm sure her attorney fees are through the roof. But, remember, the lawyers, judges and trustees are all employees and work for her! They're part of Team Sonja! :P A viewer question at the reunion was about how she can afford facials, dog psychics, cosmetic procedures, etc but not have money for hot water. She said the lack of hot water was because the plumbing is old and needed to be replaced. But, I don't really believe anything she says. I agree that Morgan will make sure their daughter had everything she needs and will go to the best schools available. But, I don't think he should have to clean up her mess because they have a kid together. The boarding school or not thing is hard to figure out because they film during the summer and the kid probably spends summers with her dad. Edited by lovesnark, Aug 2 2014, 01:49 AM.

I get what you are saying Icy, I really do. The man has more money and toys and islands and planes and yachts and houses than the average entire population of a decent sized city, so what would it hurt him to give Sonja more money. I'm just over her and her delusions though, and we don't really have any idea what he already gave her, and still pays for child support. She wants to live HIS lifestyle, and that just is not going to happen. She could have made many other choices and still be better off than most of the world will ever be. We also don't know if she was cheating on him, or what pissed him off so much. Maybe, as you say, he just used her youth and dumped her, but if that was all it was, why so vindictive and "selfish" (according to Sonja at least.) I don't believe a word out of her mouth. She's a nasty, crazy piece of work. |

That's it in a nutshell, Mariah! And, I might be cold hearted and jaded but, she was his 4th wife. Personally, I can't believe anyone - man or woman - who chooses to marry someone with that sort of history goes into it without entertaining the possibility that it won't last forever. Most folks don't come out of it with a townhouse and a couple other homes free and clear, either. They move on, take care of themselves and raise their kids. |

Lovesnark, your comment about the daughter being better off with her daddy reminded me of THE CLIENT, that Susan Sarandon movie. She was a woman who worked to put her husband through medical school, then when he left her for his secretary and she had to fend for herself to feed and take care of their two kids, it drove her to drink … which he used against her to take the kids. I don't think Morgan should have the child after driving the mother crazy. Even if we all think she'd be desperate after a few months of racing through any settlement he gave her, she at least wouldn't be able to say "Where's the money you promised, John?" … I may be the only one left who doesn't dislike Sonja? |

Well it got me thinking about Linda Evangelista and her baby daddy - Salma Hayek's guy - he owns Chanel or Gucci some other big fashion house. She didn't even marry the guy and apparently only knew him for 7 days before she got pregnant! but she got a child support award because the child is supposed to live in the manner in which her father could afford no manner where she is living at the time. They reached a settlement, but she was asking for $46,000 a month. Who knows what she got, but I wonder if Sonja is getting a shitload of money for that kid. I would think maintenance on the home would be part of that deal. |

Icy, I think Sonja went crazy this season. Her behavior in the Hamptons was appalling to me. And I think the snide comments to Luann didn't make sense, and her friendship with Aviva didn't make sense. Either she was paid like you said (most sense) or production told her to do it because I don't see Sonja forgiving that white trash comment, especially after the divine glove and hat smack down in the restaurant that she gave Aviva last season. I do think she is self medicating or is using some sort of drug to keep thin because she is all over the place with the way she speaks. |

http://www.corcoran.com/nyc/listings/display/2831567 It appears house is still up for sale. Who knows how much access old Morgan has to cash? Those WASP dynasties were very careful to put money in trust, etc., especially when they saw the old dude was the marrying kind. |

Icy, like Mariah, I get what you're saying. But, here's where we differ. I don't believe Old Man Morgan is the reason Sonja is in such awful shape financially or that it's his fault she's losing it. She mismanaged more money than the majority of the people in the world can only dream of ever having. She didn't work to support him while he was in college trying to ensure a better future. She was a 30 year old woman who claims she was financially stable when she made the decision to marry a filthy rich, much older man with a history of not staying married for long. 10 years after her marriage ended, she's making nearly half a million for a few weeks work and is unable to make ends meet. Morgan is in his 80's or 90's now. For all we know, his finances are being handled by his lawyers. I think Weaver has a good point. Once his family saw that he liked to get married often, they could have limited his access to the pot where ex wives are concerned. I hope Quincy has lots of cousins and friends and gets to enjoy being a kid. It's got to be tough to have one elderly parent and the other putting her business out there for the world to see. She's the only one I feel sorry for. |

In some ways I feel sorry for Sonja because I believe she is on the edge of breaking down - right there - and we almost saw it in the Hamptons. She is angry and crazy talking. But then she gets so dismissive, insulting and on her high horse toward other people. So she really has been a double edged sword. And all the sex kitten stuff. You do have a daughter Sonja - stop simulating sex on the plastic surgeon's table - always from behind too. It's not sexy or cute. She wants us to think she is desirable, but she is just coming off as slutty. Think of the Saratoga scenes and how drunk she was. She is out of control this season. Good point about OM Morgan. He probably is really old at this point and may have handlers handling him. He may even have a walker walking him! Lol. I keep thinking they will sweep in and pay her money to make her quit this job and go away quietly to protect the daughter. |

I feel sorry for her too- but nothing adds up. Maybe she got a settlement and spent it producing her "award-winning Movie" starring an Academy-Award winner? And according to her- she HAS no $$$ problems- so then why bitch? Also- if hot water wouldn't run through antique fixtures, then neither would cold water. Hot water is no denser than cold. |

I think hot water pipes are more likely to rust if the water heater isn't maintained. When I bought this house I had to replace the water heater because my tub water was orange tinged (that's the place I noticed it.) When they drained it that thing was so full of rust, and maybe if they let that go on and on, the rust managed to corrode the hot water pipes? I really don't like her house that much. I do like the bed! Someone must have finally cleaned up all the dog shit in the "lush garden" for the photos. Why not add a little color there, something flowering, stage it a bit for the photos? When I see so much Ivy I remember how much rats love Ivy, it allows them to hide and crawl walls even easier. Edited by Mariah, Aug 2 2014, 05:51 PM.

We went to a baby club with her kid and did a class with him - adorable child. She went with no makeup but I still knew who she was. Saw Julia Roberts there twice. Also SVU lady- her son was born the same day as dd. I followed her entire pregnancy bc she was only a year younger than me and I thought that was cool since we were both old - she 41 me 42 - she has since adopted another child. August is the first child's name. She married the guy who plays a defense attorney on the show - super tall and really nice. We hung out often (dh not her) during the 2 yo age time and then they moved uptown for private school and we dropped out of of the baby gym. I'm only posting this crap bc I know you love my stupid stories Fin. Appleseeds was the place to find the famous baby mamas. |

Oh, I wouldn't say Sonja is blameless - just her biggest bitching point seems to be this settlement and I know how often I read here "in years the kid will google and find all this mess" and it seems to me Quincy will read over and over that her father wouldn't pay her mother, was off with his new woman and ignoring Sonja. I think despite her nuttiness (real or fake) she is probably a great mother, probably very loving and attentive. So I think John could clean this up and Sonja could move on if he just paid her. Considering she is the mother of his child, it seems like a smart idea. I do not believe for one second that his money is controlled by "the family" or "lawyers" -- the Morgans are a historical family and families like that believe their own bullshit -- they do not control money of the men … the women? Yes, through marriage and parenting past adult-hood. That guy controls every penny he has, I have no doubt. |
