Sonja Morgan Opens Up About Jill Zarin, Divorce, and More

Sonja Morgan, a renowned personality from the Real Housewives of New York (RHONY) franchise, has shed light on several controversies in a recent interview. She talked about her divorce from John Adams Morgan, her past relationship with a royal, and her involvement with the ill-fated RHONY: Legacy project. Morgan also discussed her daughter Quincy’s absence from the camera and touched upon an ongoing feud with her ex-castmate Heather Thomson.

Sonja’s Reflections on RHONY: Legacy

In a podcast interview, Morgan delved into the aftermath of the canceled spinoff show, RHONY: Legacy. She criticized Jill Zarin’s involvement, stating that Zarin “screwed up the deal” for the spinoff. Morgan explained that Zarin demanded the same pay as the original cast members, which she found unreasonable given that some had not been on the show in years.

“She thought she should get paid the same as me, Ramona and Lou, but you haven’t been on TV for seven years. It’s like, no, that doesn’t make any sense.”

Morgan also highlighted that Bethenny Frankel faced similar negotiations for her spinoff, Bethenny Ever After. She emphasized the producers’ need to see a return on investment, especially for new projects.

Divorce and Adjusting to Life as a Morgan

Morgan spoke about her divorce from John Adams Morgan, sharing her perspective on his departure. According to her, John didn’t leave; rather, she faced the challenge of raising their daughter alone, adapting to the expectations of the Morgan family name.

“When I lost my husband… there was a big gap between just being me… [and] how to raise my daughter as a Morgan. That was a challenge because I didn’t grow up that way,”

Morgan also addressed the reasons her daughter, Quincy, did not appear in any reality TV shows. She revealed that Quincy did not want the public attention that comes with being on camera.

“[Quincy] doesn’t want to be on television or be public,”

A Royal Connection

Morgan has been open about her dating history, including a relationship with a royal figure. In her interview, she humorously described a mistake she made during a intimacy session, attributing her newfound knowledge about intimate hygiene to this experience.

“And that’s how [I] learn[ed] how to fluff it, how to get it back up,”

When asked if the royal she dated was Prince Albert, Morgan playfully avoided giving a direct answer.

“I would never say.”

Morgan’s Philosophy on Marriage

Morgan shared her insights on why the Morgan family marries, highlighting the importance of aligning values and experiences within society and philanthropy.

“The Morgans don’t marry you because you’re good-looking. They really want someone that knows their way around… society, and how to raise money and philanthropy and all of that.”

Feud with Heather Thomson

Morgan’s latest controversy stems from a dispute with her former castmate Heather Thomson. In recent interviews, Thomson accused Morgan of diverting credit for her successes, particularly for a toaster oven campaign. Morgan vehemently denied these claims, maintaining that she owned a brand before working with Thomson.

“I had a brand way before her. I was not a hanger shuffler in the garment center claiming to be an owner when I know the owners… and they’re just like, ‘She doesn’t own it.’ In fact, they let her go. Is that slander?”

Compassion in Film Industry

While discussing her involvement in other shows, Morgan revealed that she had been approached to be part of The Traitors three times. However, she declined due to her income stream from Cameo, which is incompatible with the phone limitations imposed on actors while filming The Traitors.
