On January 14th, Bravo fans caught a sneak peek of The Real Housewives of New York City Season 3 while watching The Real Housewives of Orange County and today…here to give Hollywood the Write Way readers the scoop on the new season and what she has been up to recently is Ramona Singer!
Fans may not know that you have been in fashion for years. So can you tell me what viewers can expect about your upcoming HSN show on March 2nd showcasing your jewelry?
I am so excited! It’s jewelry that looks like it is from Madison Avenue and it is reasonably priced. It’s classic jewelry, always in style. You can wear it forever and pass it onto your children. It’s gorgeous, I’m mesmerized by it!
What was your inspiration for these pieces?
With the economy today, I’d rather buy a new pair of earrings because you can wear earrings everyday or 3/4 times a week…you can’t wear the same blouse everyday or 3/4 times a week. The earrings will really freshen up your outfit. It makes you feel good and really picks you right up.

As for your skin care line Tru Renewal, what were the chemicals that you found irritated the skin and therefore avoided?
Basically I just have very sensitive skin. My line is anti-inflammatory and the “secret” ingredient is algae. There are no toxic and artificial ingredients, there are no petroleum products. It is 95% natural. It’s great for any skin type. I like looking ageless. I work out, I eat well, and skin care is very important. Even though you can get Botox, it doesn’t change or help your overall skin quality. So I worked with a renowned chemist and a plastic surgeon. Before, I was confused with the products that are out there, you know…this is for morning and that is for night then this is for every other day…who has time? I wanted something simple and effective.
Now in what ways are you giving back to your community this season on The Real Housewives of New York City?
I am involved with 2 charities. One is a sanctuary for women and children who are abused and the other is The Africa Foundation which raises money to help build schools and I’m going to Africa in May.
That’s great! Now in the reunion episode of the show, you and Bethenny got into it over one of your blog posts but how is your relationship with Bethenny now?
My relationship with Bethenny is very good now. I tend to mouth off and then make up. I tell it like it is. So our relationship is great and whether she gets married in front of the cameras or not, I will definitely be going with my husband! I am also excited about her having her baby. She is due in the beginning of May and her husband to be is fabulous. Everything is great.
As you mentioned, you tell it like it is, so will we see you be getting in a lot of arguments this season?
I’m renewing myself this season so you’re going to have to tell me what you think after this season. My relationships have changed, my look has changed, my businesses have changed…it’s a whole new Ramona. Watch and see!
So will we be seeing you giving more advice or taking more advice?
This season there are all new alliances…all new everything. I am still very verbal and say things that may make people’s mouths drop but I think I tend to be more of a mediator at times.
As you mentioned, all new alliances…you have a new bff this season, Alex Mc Cord! That is interesting considering the strong arguments in the past. How did this alliance come about?
You’ll see it all in the first episode!
What scoop can you give us about the new season?
I cannot wait to watch this season. It is so intense. We shot so much in 14 weeks! Labor Day was the first opening scene in the Hamptons on a boat and we finished filming right around Christmas time. Right out of the gate, we start fighting, it’s ridiculous and you will also see the emotional side of me this season… I show myself more.
Are there 2 more additions to the cast this season and if so, what is your relationship with them?
Yes, there are 2 new additions though they won’t be introduced until the middle of the season. I get along great with Sonja (Morgan). I knew her 15 years ago. She has a lot of good energy. She makes me laugh. She’ll put a smile on your face.
Do you know if we are going to see you out and about as much as we will see you with your daughter because scenes with you and your daughter are so entertaining!
Yes, there are some scenes with my daughter. I think in one of our first scenes the audience will see us going to a fashion show together. She is very grown up now. She is such a beautiful lady, inside and out. She takes my breath away.
