The Real Housewives of New York City alum added what’s next for her, sharing, “Now, as I prepare to embrace a new chapter, I feel lighter and ready to return to my roots as an artist, with more time to be the creative person I am. #ImanArtist.”
“I’m excited to be able to leave this magnificent home to its next owner, who will no doubt create their own wonderful memories here,” the socialite concluded in her post. “Please comment below on your favorite #RHONY scene in the townhouse.”
And that’s exactly what the fans did.
‘Fans flocked to the comments section to share their favorite memories of watching their beloved Upper East Side property on their screens for 12 seasons.
“This is sad,” one user wrote. “My fondest memory of RONY is when LuAnn lived there,” while another added, “Loved the portrait launch party! Classic @sonjatmorgan.”
To round out the touching memories, one follower shared a lengthy response to Sonja’s question.
“All the parties, all the events, all of Sonja’s moments with the girls will remain in my Bravo RHONY heart,” they gushed. “From the opera singer who performed on the main floor, to the psychic in the dining room (my favorite wallpaper with the portraits by the way), to the ladies having lunch on the patio, to the facials on the terrace, to Lu living upstairs, it truly is the end of an era. It was an epic journey and no one took it further than Soni. I love you girl! You are truly a legend.”
In a follow-up post, Sonja documented how she found one of her koi fish dead and told the person filming that she didn’t have time to take the fish to the crematorium now and would have to keep it in the freezer until later.
The reality star then scooped up the dead fish with a net before asking the transporters if they could take him and the rest of the fish in the truck with them.

Sonja explained that she got her fish in Connecticut over 20 years ago and that they mean a lot to her.
As for fish, the video shows the businessman telling workers: “I once found a goldfish in the toaster. Unfortunately, my daughter found it.”
“I don’t know if she has PTSD from that,” Sonja continued. “Some hedge fund guys were here partying and they thought they were going to be like the wolves of Wall Street, so they were like, ‘Ugh! I’m going to eat your goldfish!’ Then my daughter made some toast and dropped it.”
He captioned the funny video: “I’m not leaving without my fish! End of a different era…”

She added, “Many memories were made over the years, including hosting my daughter’s friends from boarding school and college, and many noteworthy moments were filmed by NBC for Bravo and Peacock TV. Now, with no children of my own, I’m ready to share this turnkey, easy-to-drive gem with someone new to enjoy as we did.”
