Real Housewives Of New York City: Sonja Morgan bawls after Luann de Lesseps boots her from cabaret
Luann de Lesseps called Sonja Morgan 'worthless' and kicked her out of her cabaret show on Thursday's episode of The Real Housewives Of New York City.
On a cast trip to Dorinda Medley's Berkshires home, Luann, 55, drank wine and squabbled with Sonja, 56, over what she paid her to be in the show, entitled F***, Marry, Kill.
Sonja cracked that Luann was exploiting her by paying her just $225 per show, and Luann saw red, sniping, 'Exploit you? I don't need you. Go f*** yourself.'

'You gave me $225? That doesn't even cover my hair and makeup!' Sonja shouted as she insisted Luann wasn't valuing her time.
Luann was over it.
'You have made me feel that you don't appreciate it,' she pointed out. 'And guess what? I don't want you in the show.'
'I said I can't do it for free,' Sonja protested weakly.

'You're done,' Luann promised. 'I don't want you in my show. How's that? You're done. I don't want you in my show, you b****.'
Sonja cried about how much she loved Luann, and Dorinda, 55, said, 'F*** that s***,' stomping off to confront Luann on her friend's behalf.
'I know Dorinda's a white witch, but there is some dark-a** energy going on right now, and I need to sage the s*** out of Bluestone Manor,' Leah McSweeney, 37, told the cameras.

Not wanted: 'You're done,' Luann promised Sonja. 'I don't want you in my show. How's that? You're done. I don't want you in my show, you b****'
Dorinda strode up to Luann and called her behavior 'weak play,' reminding her that Sonja had stood by her throughout her journey toward sobriety.
Luann refused to back down, running back to Sonja to tell her, 'I never want to see you in my show. You're not coming into my show. Ever.'
'And we are officially off the f***ing rails,' Leah concluded.

As the episode began, Dorinda called her RHONY castmates to invite them to Bluestone Manor, her longtime home in Massachusetts' Berkshires mountains.
She'd spent eight months renovating the place after a flood, and wanted to show her friends that she'd finally 'made it through.'
'I feel like this weekend is going to be the start of my new life up in the Berkshires,' Dorinda said.

She ignored for a moment the fact that she was still nurturing a beef against Ramona Singer, 63.
At Luann's recent Halloween party, Dorinda berated Ramona for being totally self-obsessed.
Friend of the cast Elyse Slaine revealed that she'd once tried to console Ramona after a dust-up, and the woman told her she couldn't sit with her, as she was already there with her girlfriends.

'There was no one around, by the way,' Elyse noted, adding that Ramona had also flirted with her husband in a weird incident.
Ramona had a different take on why her RHONY castmates seemed so peeved at her.
'I think they mock me because they just think of me as one of their little lackeys, and they don't understand that there's a whole 'nother world without them,' she suggested.

When her pals arrived, Dorinda told them that Bluestone Manor had taken on a 'whole different energy' since its renovation.
The basement, which had flooded so much 'you could swim in it,' had been full of her late husband Richard Medley's things, all of which she had to toss.
Now, Dorinda said, the house 'feels more alive and more awake than it's ever felt.'

As a joke, she put Luann in the 'fish room' she once loudly disparaged, and tucked a shark from the wall into Luann's bed, while nestling its swordfish into Ramona's.
'I missed you, darling!' Luann cried, cuddling the shark.
Ramona showed up with flowers for Dorinda, hoping to make peace after their fight.

She knew she needed to talk to Elyse, whom she'd recently unfollowed on social media, as Elyse had posted a photo that said, 'It's all fun and games until someone p***es me off.'
Over wine in the kitchen, Elyse asked her why she had been so standoffish and cruel to her lately.
Ramona insisted on speaking to Elyse privately, but the RHONY gang wanted to watch it all go down, so they crowded around them.

With all eyes on them, Ramona told Elyse she was needy, and suggested that she was unable to make friends of her own, saying nastily, 'Enjoy my friends,' as she gestured around the room.
Elyse called the remark 'bulls***,' adding, 'Just like I let you enjoy my husband and my family?'
'Dare I say I'm enjoying watching Ramona squirm quite a bit?' Dorinda snickered privately.

'This is better than Broadway,' Luann whispered. 'You can't buy tickets for this kind of s***.'
Elyse and Ramona fled to another room, and Ramona admitted Elyse was 'a close friend,' but insisted, 'I have 50 close friends'—a line she'd been repeating all week.
'Appreciate what I've done for you!' she added, as she grabbed her wine and ran off.

Elyse told Ramona she should appreciate her, too, but Ramona replied that it wasn't 'tit for tat.'
Dorinda and Sonja cringed at her narcissism, though they were aware that they had behaved badly by lashing out drunkenly during the Halloween party.
'Was I aggressive? Yes,' Dorinda told the cameras. 'Do I regret it? Nope.'
![Appreciate it: 'Appreciate what I've done for you!' Ramona added, as she grabbed her wine and ran off](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/07/10/06/30602122-8508937-image-m-60_1594357541773.jpg)

After she and Ramona made peace, Elyse got Ramona to admit that she was indeed a 'special girlfriend' before clambering on her lap to hug her.
The mood of the party changed then, and Sonja and Leah got drunk and talked about their turn-ons, with Leah saying, 'I want somebody to put their tongue in my butt.'
Sonja revealed that her attractive posterior got her 'far in the world,' calling it her best asset.

Luann mentioned Sonja's upcoming role in her cabaret show, which led Sonja to reveal that she wasn't being paid much at all.
Ramona suggested Luann pay Sonja $5,000 to $10,000 for her participation, but Luann said Sonja wasn't at the level of a 'Broadway actor.'
'I'm a Broadway actor!' Sonja replied, backed by Dorinda and Ramona.

'I don't want you for free,' Luann insisted. 'I love you 'cause you're my friend. If you love being in my show, great. If you don't, then I don't need you.'
Sonja wept when she heard Luann say that, because she really loved Luann.
'You're a warrior,' Dorinda soothed Sonja. 'That's not acceptable behavior.'

'I'm a warrior,' Sonja sobbed. 'I'm a funny girl.'
Ramona tried to get Luann to apologize, but the former Countess wasn't having it.
'I have my own cabaret show,' she blurted. 'You think I need Sonja Morgan, who's gonna take her clothes off on the stage? I don't need her, b****. She's horrible! I was giving her a chance because I love her.'
'She thinks she's gonna be the star of my show?' Luann added. 'Well, she's sadly mistaken.'
The Real Housewives Of New York City will return next week on Bravo.
