Despite starring in hit US TV show Real Housewives of New York, the reality star Sonja Morgan has revealed that she could lose her home after declaring bankruptcy and fighting a divorce settlement battle with her former husband.
Morgan first spoke of her financial woes during episodes of Season 4 of the popular Real Housewives series. Last month, viewers watched the 47-year-old confess to her friends and fellow housewives that she had filed for bankruptcy after racking up debt problems of $19 million.
According to a report in the New York Post, Morgan’s debt problems began in 2006 when she agreed to finance a film but then reneged on the deal as she had just been served with divorce papers. She was successfully sued by the production company and in September 2009, a Californian federal jury ordered Morgan to pay out $7.06 million in damages.
The mother of one is now facing further money troubles as she battles her former husband, the 80-year-old millionaire John Adams Morgan, over a divorce settlement of $3 million. Morgan has now revealed that she faces losing her $6 million home in New York as a result of her debt problems.
Morgan has told the New York Post that she is banned from visiting properties that she co-owns with her former husband, whilst he himself lives on a $19 million private island near Connecticut. She said:
“I’m sure the world thinks, ‘Sonja doesn’t have to worry, she’s got that husband there for her’, but I’m on my own.”
