When the housewives get drunk, you know that we will get to watch some reality golden moments. Sonja Morgan has always been the fun drunk and has always left us amused with her over-the-top behavior. Unfortunately for Sonja, ever since Luann de Lesseps decided to embrace the path of sobriety, Sonja had no company with whom she could get drunk and embarrass herself.
 
Things changed as soon as new housewife Leah McSweeney decided to let her hair down and have some fun. In an earlier episode, Leah had mentioned that she only drinks occasionally because she doesn’t like the behavior she indulges in when she is drunk. She says that she goes off the ‘deep end’. We didn’t know what exactly she meant by that until we watched the recent episode of ‘Real Housewives of New York’.

Leah decided to have some drinks and soon she unleashed a side of herself which was extremely amusing and entertaining to watch. She was done with talking about yachts and rich, white men, and she wanted to have fun in her own way, and decides to go skinny dipping instead. She gets Tinsley Mortimer and Sonja Morgan to join her, and soon the three women go wild. They begin throwing tiki torches to the ground, running around the house naked and giving each other reality checks.

Leah tries explaining to Sonja that she has to let go off her name “Morgan” because she isn’t married anymore. But Sonja gets emotional and begins yelling that she was married to a Morgan and is proud of her heritage. At one point, Sonja gets irritated and decides to step aside and goes to the washroom. Leah follows her to the washroom and sits on the floor while Sonja is using the loo, and begins talking to her about her last name again.

Fans loved watching the hilarious bathroom scene between both the ladies, and declared that it is an Emmy worthy moment.

A fan tweeted, “Leah talking to Sonja while she’s on the toilet is literally Emmy winning television #rhony.” Another fan shared, “So... Leah was in the bathroom crouched down while Sonja was peeing (and covering her vag) to drunkenly have a convo with her. This season is redeeming itself SO fast #RHONY.”

“Did Leah really walk into the bathroom and kiss Sonja on the chick while Sonja was peeing. Who is the chick and why don't we hang out? #RHONY,” questioned a fan.
 
‘Real Housewives of New York’ Season 12 airs every Thursday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
