Which 'Real Housewife' Could Lose Her $6 Million Home?

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jul 5th 2011 04:00PM

It's been a rough couple of months for 'Real Housewives of New York City' star Sonja Morgan, and the hits just keep on coming. The reality star is in the middle of a nasty court battle with her ex and could be forced to sell her $6 million New York home to cover her debts.

According to E! Online, Morgan is battling her ex-husband, 80-year-old John Adams Morgan, for more money in their $3 million divorce settlement. The Bravo star filed for bankruptcy last fall and needs some cash ASAP, considering she claims she's $20 million in debt.

"Sonja is devastated, she's considering the house gone already," a source told E! "She wants to sell it back to her ex-husband, so she can make that money off it and her daughter can live there, but he's refusing. She wants to keep it for her daughter, but it seems she'll have to sell it and lose it altogether. She needs the money because he's not giving her a cent more and she's now more than $7 million in the hole."

"She's in denial, it's only just started to hit her how much trouble she's in," the source continued. "She makes $275,000 a year on 'Housewives,' which would be good for anyone else but it won't save her."

The bankruptcy stems from a bad movie investment between her production company, Sonja Productions, and Hannibal Pictures, Inc., and its ramifications have really take a toll on the reality star.

In May, a court ordered Morgan to shell out $7 million to Hannibal Pictures, Inc., after they filed suit against her.

"I woke up one morning, and decided I was going to be a movie producer. I put a slate of 5 movies together, and I started Sonja Productions. I spent a bunch of my money on it," Morgan revealed to PopEater's Rob Shuter. "I said I'd put some pictures together, and it was going well. I had a movie come out with Forrest Whittaker and Gabrielle Anwar, and we got two awards, and it was on a roll. And then one of my movie deals, it was one big misunderstanding, and then they sued me, and I wasn't adequately represented, and I lost. That's OK, I'm a survivor. I'll be fine. I'll take care of Sonja. What goes around comes around, and the universe always gives back. And I'm such a giver."

One could only hope that ALL of them would lose their houses. And the TV execs who put them on the air.

Maybe she will act a little bit humble but I doubt it. She is one ugly woman!

80 year old EX husband? ROFLMAO

By GB

Unbelievable that John Adams Morgan wouldn't bail out his wife, the mother of his child, the man said to have millions unless perhaps he is just as destitute as she is! What a dog this man is!

This woman isn't ugly. She is attractive and the guys who check her out in most scenes are also what are considered to be good looking guys, above average to average guys.

Did not realize her ex husband was so much older. A marriage based on money never survives.

While her ex may be alot older than her. But at least he remembers to wear his underwear unlike her when she didn't have them on under her costume while taping one episode for that party she held in her home.

That's good for her!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple failure of Economics 101, filed bankruptcy, wants more money from a 3 million dollar divorce settlement and has to sell a 6 million dollar house to pay he bills. Sonja Morgan might try and cut back the personal expenses. It's called living within your means. If you are broke, sell the Beemer or Benz.

Sonya (if you watch the show) still appears to genuinely love and miss her ex husband. However, it does seem odd that there was such an age difference, and her behavior is usually bizarre.

By losingit

Most of these housewives live too high on the hog; hence losing their homes. Sonya isn't the first to lose. Look at Alexa from RHW Orange County, as well as Peggy, as well as Tamra, as well as Lynn. Wow...that's a lot. Why don't they all just downsize before they get into such sad shape? Oh, and maybe quit throwing parties that cost a fortune!

When you marry for money you earn every penny of it.

she's a slob. i have a new concept for her and those like her who don't have a pot to piss in. the concept involves getting a "job". i know that's a vulgar word in her world but it really works. what also works is living within your means. even if her ex paid her 3.5 million dollars she alleges he owes, how long do you think it would last with her lifestyle. granted, she buys everything on sale whether it fits or not but really. sell the damn home and move into something you can afford. oh, and about that job, get one already and stop bull-essing the world. you ain't messin with no broke-broke. golddigger

Jeeeez....
I feel so sorry for her. Hope I can sleep tonight....

By themeeker

She just needs to turn a few extra tricks and she'll get it back.

"I'm such a giver."

LOL.

Yes, you "gave" a lot when you married a super rich man 40 years your senior.

Wishing her the best; she will survive; she is strong! Lessons learned; Old Money and Hollywood do not mix!!

She spelt Forest Whitaker's name incorrectly. No double R, no double T.
