RHONY Star Allegedly Banned From Soul Cycle For This Inappropriate Reason

   

A fan-favorite Real Housewives of New York City cast member is in trouble for alleged lewd and inappropriate behavior at a Soul Cycle, leading her to get banned. RHONYC premiered in 2008, and finished airing its fifteenth season in February 2025. RHONYC season 13 was a pivotal season in the franchise marked by internal conflicts, racist allegations, and low viewership.

Because of which, the cast got a full shakeup. RHONYC season 14 debuted an entirely new cast. However, the Housewives drama currently taking place off-screen involves an OG.

Sonja Morgan, who joined RHONYC in season 3 in 2010, stayed 11 years in the franchise, until 2021. She was widely regarded as the comedic relief of the show, and her off-screen drama has been just as shocking as her on-screen antics.

It's been reported, via Cult of Body & Soul Podcast, that Sonja was banned from the East 63rd Street Soul Cycle location. A former instructor there spilled the tea about the situation, alleging that Sonja had a makeout session in the front row of the class, which caused a big disturbance.

“She was making out with her boyfriend in the front row … doing a whole bunch of things up there,” the instructor said.

Even more shocking, the instructor claimed that after being confronted by management about her behavior, she played the "Do you know who I am?" card. However, Sonja denied the accusations that she was ever banned in an interview with PageSix, and said the incident never happened. She asserted she only visited the location three times, and never with a man, although she said she may have brought a male client there once.

Sonja's alleged banning and denial comes on the heels of another raucous incident she was involved in last month. She was reportedly banned from a Noho restaurant called Tucci, when she refused to pay her bill of over $1,000.

Sonja, 61, apparently threw a "hysterical" fit over not having her bill comped, and caused a scene, allegedly remarking about her celebrity status. Sonja has addressed the incident, saying that it was a "clear miscommunication," (via PageSix). Sonja ended up paying the bill with a tip.

Our Take On Sonja Morgan Allegedly Being Banned From Soul Cycle

Sonja Has A Pattern

Sonja is no stranger to drama and confronting it, she is a Real Housewife of New York City after all, but these two incidents don't bode well for her reputation. While she vehemently denies getting banned, pulling the famous card, and acting inappropriately in any capacity, the accusations of misconduct piling up are suspect.

Sonja has a strong personality and a long history in the public eye, but she is marked by scandal for her bankruptcies, ugly divorce, and Donald Trump affiliation, so this latest "banning" drama is another strike.
