Toaster Ovens and Yummie Tummies and Nigerian Football Teams – Oh My!
Heather Thomson touches on them all in her latest Bravo blog, claiming that she has Sonja Morgan’s best interests at heart despite what Sonja (and the viewers) might think. Heather starts by saying, “I’ve always tried to be on Team Sonja. And to contradict her recent blog, I don’t ever, have never, and will never stand on a soap box unless I am advocating for a charity or helping others.”
Although she might not have it out for Sonja, Heather does say she will not be burned twice when it comes to entering Sonja’s world of unicorns and rainbows. “I have been down Sonja ‘Sexy J’ Morgan’s rabbit hole before: spending valuable time, energy, and favors on her pursuits, unfortunately, to no end,” she says, adding that “I was simply not in the know that Sonja had sourced a group to back a fashion endeavor, hiring freelance consultants and a designer to pull a collection together. And I was surprised to learn from Bethenny [Frankel] that she had. I was interested to learn more about it and lend whatever I potentially could. But, ‘The Countess’ boomed in and, as the case often goes, things flew off the rails. And it’s frustrating.”

Heather does praise Bethenny’s Jedi Master skill in asking direct questions of Sonja’s sketchy design team while still walking the fine line of not overtly insulting Lady Morgan. “Bethenny may ‘suck at relationships,’ but she did a great job delivering succinct and solid advice to team Sonja about timelines, vendor partners, and the simple laws of supply and demand. She can also handle a bitchy fashion chick like a champ!” Heather says. Word. “But back to Sonja…please, dear, if you are going to call me out on anything, please let it be that I’m an obvious glutton for punishment! Why do I even care?! Having worked in the industry for over 25 years and launching my own successful brand Yummie by Heather Thomson, I’ve been around the block enough at this point to offer valuable knowledge to someone just starting out. And I’ve always been eager to help Sonja, so I would have thought she would have wanted to hear my thoughts on her new venture?”
Ending with one final attempt to declare her “support” of Sonja’s delusions pursuits, Heather claims, “I’ve genuinely wanted to see Sonja focus and succeed. As a group, we’ve all been waiting for so long to see something actually come to fruition from Sonja Morgan’s many, many pursuits.” But Heather does get one final dig in (who can help themselves, really, when it comes to Sonja’s “bizniss”?) by saying, “I’m still rooting for her Nigerian Football team–that one remains an all-time favorite, but I’ve yet to be invited to a game or to this showroom.”
