The Real Housewives of New York are back! In the premiere episode of Season 5 we meet new cast members Aviva Drescher, Carole Radziwill, and Heather Thomson. Ramona and LuAnn duke it out at Sonja's cocktail party after LuAnn demanded an apology from Ramona for calling her a "weekend mom" last season. Later, Ramona invites all the Housewives (except LuAnn and Carole, who was busy) and offends newbie Heather after she tells her that she interrupts people to much. LuAnn later makes a shocking claim that Ramona called her off-camera and threatened to blackmail her for her children's actions. Read the full recap here.
