If you are in and out of court dont get naked and drunk on TV. DuH.

The article about custody mentions an episode where she passed out naked? I don’t remember that episode of RHONY.

Really??? I feel like B gets naked every single vacation episode like clockwork.

I'm with the PP and don't remember when she passed out unless it was when she woke up in the room (in the Berkshires?) with Luann and whoever else was there (Sonja?)

A junkie and an addict are the same thing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/junkie

How his addiction started is irrelevant, other than to keep propping white junkies up as victims and minority junkies as criminals.

Precisely. Inner city crack addict, hillbilly trailer trash meth addict, rich white Manhattan oxy addict. All addicts. None are better or worse than the others.

Sounds like that's what happened -

Dennis Shields told responding officers that he took a combination of oxycodone, Vicodin and a sleeping pill at his 42nd-floor apartment the morning of Aug. 10, sources said.

He had been prescribed numerous medications for a back injury, sources added.

The 51-year-old was given at least two doses of Narcan — one that was administered by his assistant and another by responding officers, who had been stationed at the Fifth Avenue skyscraper.

A Junkie is a junkie whether it’s an addiction to prescription opioids or street level
Meth.

Why are you so eager to place a label on him?

DP. What would you rather we call him? "Someone who chooses to take medication to either numb himself or give himself a high when it isn't medically advised to do so because he likes the way it makes him feel"? Junkie is a bit easier, don't you think?

I don't think she was passed out, but I remember her rolling around on the floor, maybe drunk, and naked at Dorinda's holiday weekend in the Berkshires. She does really like to get naked on camera. She looks good, but still, why? I'm not watching for the T & A. I don't think anyone is.
